A travelling exhibition compiled in 2014 to commemorate people from Lithuania shot down in Sverdlovsk in 1942-1943. All of them were victims of the first Soviet occupation, “socially alien and dangerous elements” of the new regime that had to be destroyed. Between 1942 and 1943, 77 Lithuanian citizens were shot dead in Sverdlovsk. Among them were eight members of the Cabinets of Ministers of the Republic of Lithuania in 1918-1940: Prime Minister Pranas Dovydaitis, Ministers of the Interior Petras Aravičius, Antanas Endziulaitis, Zigmas Pranas Starkus, Minister of Transport and Foreign Affairs Valdemaras Vytautas Čarneckis, Minister of Education Kazimieras Jokantas, Minister of National Defence Juozas Papečkys, Minister of National Defence and Finance Jonas Sutkus.

The exhibition presents the political situation in 1940-1941, which influenced the first deportations and imprisonments of Lithuanian citizens in forced labour camps, a brief history of Gari forced labour camp (Sverdlovsk oblast), where political prisoners were imprisoned, and biographies of the Lithuanian citizens who were sentenced to death.
