The traveling exhibition prepared in 2011 displays various geographical locations and a variety of housing and work in forced labour camps in the places of deportation of 1941 and 1945-1953 of Lithuanian people: Komi, Yakutia, Magadan, Irkutsk, Krasnoyarsk, Altai, Novosibirsk, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan… The natural conditions of these territories were difficult for Lithuanians and the work that had to be done in exile and in labour camps were determined by them. In the permafrost land, where farming was impossible, Lithuanian deportees had to fish; in the taiga, they had to fell trees, collect resin, and drive logs downstream; in the mineral regions, they were forced to work in mines; while in the plantations of distant Tajikistan, they had to pick cotton. The Soviet Union’s nature was terrible and devastating for political prisoners and deportees from Lithuania, who were plagued by food shortages, constant deprivation, and diseases, and who had to perform hard physical labour.
