The KGB Cells Museum in Tartu is a unique and haunting experience that takes visitors back in time to the Soviet era. The museum is located in the basement of a former KGB prison, where political prisoners were held and interrogated during the Soviet occupation of Estonia. The cells have been preserved to give visitors a glimpse into the harsh conditions that prisoners endured.
The museum is divided into several sections, each focusing on a different aspect of the KGB's operations in Estonia. Visitors can see the cramped cells where prisoners were held, as well as the interrogation rooms where they were questioned and tortured. The museum also features exhibits on the KGB's surveillance techniques, propaganda, and the impact of Soviet rule on Estonian society.
One of the most striking features of the museum is the graffiti left behind by former prisoners. The walls of the cells are covered in messages of hope, despair, and defiance, providing a poignant reminder of the human cost of political repression.
Visitors to the KGB Cells Museum can take a guided tour, which includes a detailed explanation of the history of the prison and the KGB's activities in Estonia. The tour is available in several languages, including English, and lasts approximately one hour.
Overall, the KGB Cells Museum is a sobering reminder of the atrocities committed by the Soviet regime in Estonia. It is a must-visit for anyone interested in the history of the region and the struggle for freedom and democracy.
