Kazakhstan pursues a historical policy in which condemning communist crimes from the Stalinist period occupies an important place. At the same time, Kazakhs emphasize their help for victims of Stalinist repression in their country. Historical policy goals are pursued by the “ALZHIR” Museum in Akmol, near the capital Astana. The “ALZHIR” Memorial Museum in Kazakhstan was dedicated to the memory of the victims of Stalinist repression. The institution was established on the site of the former “R-17” Women’s Correctional Labor Camp. It operated in the years 1937–1953. Over 18,000 female prisoners passed through the camp, of whom about 600 died. Most of the repressed did not commit an act prohibited under the legislation of the Soviet Union – their guilt was belonging to the family of an alleged traitor to the homeland. Among the repressed women, of many nationalities, there were 173 Polish women. In „ALZHIR” in addition, the high position of women in the Muslim society of Kazakhstan is exposed, which results from historical events.
