He graduated from the Tomsk Theological Seminary, then the Faculty of Law of the Imperial Tomsk University, and for two years he was a student at the Faculty of History and Philology. Began to serve as assistant. peasant chief of the 2nd section of Zmeinogorsk district, 5th section of Biysk district, 5th section of Barnaul district. In 1909 he became a member of the council of the Tomsk Society for the Study of Siberia. In September 1911, he became an assistant attorney at the Omsk Court Chamber and was appointed to a position at the Tomsk District Court. Since his student years, he collaborated with the Tomsk newspaper “Sibirskaya Zhizn”; in 1914-1916 published and edited the magazine “Siberian Student”.

From the first days of the revolution of 1917, he joined the Socialist Revolutionary Party and took up active social and political work: he was an assistant commissioner of the Provisional Government in the Tomsk province, a member of the Executive Committee of the Tomsk provincial people's assembly; edited the newspaper "Voice of Freedom". He was elected as a deputy of the Constituent Assembly in the Altai electoral district.

Shatilov supported the ideas of G.N. Potanin on the autonomy of Siberia, prepared resolutions of the 1st session of the Tomsk Provincial People's Assembly - “On the Regional Duma” and “On regional self-government”. Participating in the work of the Siberian Regional Congress in Tomsk (October 8 - 17, 1917), he made a report “Siberia as an integral unit of the Russian Federative Republic”, and was elected to the Provisional Executive Committee of the Siberian Regional Congress. In December 1917, at the Extraordinary Siberian Regional Congress, he was elected from the Socialist Revolutionary faction to the Provisional Siberian Regional Council. Participants in the illegal session of the Siberian Regional Duma in Tomsk on the night of January 29, 1918 elected Sh., who was under arrest in a Krasnoyarsk prison, to the Provisional Government of Autonomous Siberia. After the fall of Soviet power in Siberia on June 30, 1918 in Omsk, Sh. became part of the Provisional Siberian Government as Minister of Native Affairs. On September 21, 1918 he was arrested and, under threat of execution, was forced to resign as minister and return to Tomsk. Until 1919 he worked as a commissioner of the Siberian Union of Zemstvos and Cities. After the restoration of Soviet power in Siberia, he worked at Tomsk University at the department of “Native Law and Life” (1920-1922). In December 1923, Sh.’s “Letter to the Editor” appeared in the Krasnoye Znamya newspaper, in which he announced his long-standing departure from the ranks of the Socialist Revolutionary Party and his withdrawal from all political activities. Nevertheless, he was constantly under the close supervision of the Cheka - OGPU and was detained by them several times (1920, 1921, 1931).

From 1922 to 1933 he served as head of the Tomsk Regional Museum. In this position he proved himself to be a remarkable ethnographer. In 1924 and 1926 he organized and conducted ethnographic expeditions to the Narym region, on the river. Vakh, collected and summarized a large amount of factual material, prepared the monograph “Vakh Ostyaks”. In 1927-1928 he studied the Russian population living in the river basins. Chulym and Shegarka. During his trips, he collected large collections for the Tomsk Regional Museum. He was the initiator of the creation and an active member of the Society for the Study of the Tomsk Region at the museum.

In April 1933 he was arrested on trumped-up charges of belonging to the White Guard Conspiracy organization; on August 5, 1933, the board of the OGPU of the USSR was sentenced to 10 years in forced labor camps. He served his sentence in the Solovetsky special purpose camp. In November 1937, a special troika of the NKVD department for the Leningrad region sentenced him to death. At the beginning of December 1937, he was transferred to the mainland for execution with the same convoy as Fr. Pavel Florensky. Until recently, it was generally accepted that the prisoners of this stage were shot on December 8-10, 1937 in Leningrad. However, it can be assumed that they were shot in the area of ​​Lodeynoye Pole, where at that time P.D. Shalygin, assistant commandant of the NKVD LO Polikarpov, was traveling “to carry out a special assignment.” Therefore, the probable place of execution and burial: the area of ​​the Lodeynopolsky camp. In 1959 M.B. Shatilov was rehabilitated.

(Materials for the biography)

Unfortunately, the biography of M.B. Shatilov, a famous Siberian public figure, publicist, ethnographer and museum worker, still remains a little-researched and studied topic. To this day we know nothing about his fate after his arrest and conviction in 1933. However, in his biography even before 1917 there are “blank spots”, and in published articles about his life and activities there are discrepancies with the presentation of some facts from his biography, and data are provided that are not supported by documentary sources. In their list, for example, is that M.B. Shatilov was the grandson of “one of the Decembrists.” There are discrepancies in the indication of the occupation of his father, the time of graduation from Tomsk University and the type of occupation in the first years after graduation, etc.

Two archival files with materials about the service of M.B. were discovered in the State Archive of the Tomsk Region (GATO). Shatilov in 1909-1911. in the staff of the Tomsk Provincial Administration and the Tomsk District Court make it possible to some extent to clarify certain points in his biography and eliminate existing discrepancies. Based on the study of these materials, we can now speak with greater certainty about the date and place of his birth and baptism, the social status and place of residence of his parents, the results of his studies at the university, the first years of service and the work performed. So, from a copy of the form list about the service of M.B. Shatilov from 1911 it follows that even before the issuance of a diploma from Tomsk University in July 1909, he submitted a petition and was accepted into the staff of the Tomsk Provincial Administration for the Peasant Department. Then, by order of the governor dated June 27, 1909, he was sent to assist the peasant chief of the 2nd section of the Zmeinogorsk district of the Tomsk province, then by order of the Governor of the province dated November 20, 1910, he was transferred to serve in the same position to the 3rd section in the Biysk district. By the same order dated March 22, 1911, he was sent to the disposal of the peasant chief of the 5th section of the Barnaul district and remained in this position until April 28, 1911, until, at the request of his petition, he was dismissed from his post and remained on the staff of the Tomsk Provincial Administration. For his service “in the Peasant Branch” he received a monetary reward of 1,500 rubles. per year “from the sums of the Cabinet of His Imperial Majesty.” September 17, 1911 M.B. Shatilov, according to his transfer to service in the department of the Ministry of Justice, from August 25, 1911. Grandson of one of the Decembrists. My father served as a rural volost clerk (according to other sources, he was a peasant teacher). He studied at the Tomsk Theological School, then at the Tomsk Theological Seminary. In 1904 he entered the Faculty of Law of Tomsk University, at the same time listening to lectures on history and literature. In 1908, Shatilov participated in an archaeological expedition in the Minusinsk region. In the same year, the Law Society of the University published his works on handicrafts of the Tomsk province. Active scientific activity contributed to the fact that he was elected head of the student Siberian scientific circle. In 1909, Shatilov became a member of the council of the Tomsk Society for the Study of Siberia. Here he became close friends with G.N. Potanin and A.V. Adrianov, imbued with regional sentiments. Already as a student, Mikhail Bonifatievich published his materials in various newspapers and magazines: “Siberian Life”, “Path of the People”, “Monthly Magazine”, etc. He was repeatedly subjected to searches and arrests.

After graduating from Tomsk University (1910), Shatilov served for two years as an assistant to the peasant chief in the Zmeinogorsk, Biysk and Barnaul districts of the Tomsk province. In 1911 he was enrolled in the class of sworn attorneys of the Omsk Judicial Chamber and assigned to a position at the Tomsk District Court. During these years, Shatilov actively collaborated with the Tomsk newspaper “Siberian Life”. In 1914-1916. Mikhail Bonifatievich published and edited the magazine “Siberian Student” in Tomsk, where, along with educational problems, issues of the future development of independent Siberia were raised, he worked in the Society for the Care of Public Education. In 1917, the Socialist Revolutionary Shatilov was appointed assistant to the Tomsk provincial commissar of the Provisional Government, edited the newspaper “Voice of Freedom”. On May 18, 1917, at the first session of the Tomsk Provincial People's Assembly, he was elected one of the members of the Executive Committee. He organized a special commission on regional self-government and made a proposal to convene an all-Siberian congress on the issue of Siberian autonomy. On October 9, 1917, at the First Siberian Regional Congress held in Tomsk, Shatilov was elected fellow chairman. He delivered an extensive report “Siberia as an integral unit of the Russian Federative Republic,” which contained the main provisions of an autonomous regional structure. Autonomous Siberia, governed by the Regional Duma, was conceived as an integral part of the Russian Republic. During the congress, Shatilov joined its Executive Committee. In November 1917, from the indigenous population of the Altai Mountains, Shatilov was elected a member of the All-Russian Constituent Assembly. In December 1917, Shatilov became a member of the presidium of the Extraordinary All-Siberian Regional Congress, which declared non-recognition of Soviet power and its decrees and the need to convene the Siberian Regional Duma.

In January 1918, when everything was ready for its opening, Shatilov, along with other members of the Duma, was arrested by the Bolsheviks and imprisoned in Krasnoyarsk prison. While in prison, he was elected in absentia as a comrade of the chairman of the zemstvo council of Gorny Altai. After his release from prison, he was in an illegal situation. In June 1918, after the mutiny of the Czechoslovak corps and the fall of Soviet power in Siberia, Shatilov joined the Provisional Siberian Government as Minister of Native Affairs. In the conflict between the Siberian Regional Duma and the Provisional Siberian Government, he took the side of the Duma. On the night of September 21, 1918, he, along with other regionalists, was arrested. He was forced to resign as minister and return to Tomsk. From December 1918 to the end of 1919, Shatilov worked as a commissioner of the Siberian Union of Lands and Cities.

With the arrival of the Bolsheviks, he became a researcher at the department of “Native Law and Life” of the FON - Faculty of Social Sciences of Tomsk University. Twice, in 1920 and 1921, he was arrested, but the case was not brought to court. After the department was closed in 1922, he was asked to head the opening Tomsk Regional Museum. In December 1923, former Tomsk Socialist Revolutionaries held a conference at which they made repentant speeches, condemning their past. The newspaper “Red Banner” published “Letter to the Editor” by M.B. Shatilova: “ … During the revolutionary years, I suffered even more defeat, experienced deep moral upheavals and became disillusioned with my political activities (...). At present, I consider it my duty to devote the rest of my strength and my modest knowledge, as a socialist and a Siberian, to serving the working people and my dear Siberia in the cultural and educational field in order to combat the impending reaction, all kinds of obscurantism and for the sake of strengthening the barely emerging new, bright life - the threshold of socialism"

1922-1933 - Director of the Tomsk Regional Museum. Shatilov proved himself to be a wonderful scientist. In 1926, he made a four-month expedition to the Vakh River, as a result of which the book “Vakh Ostyaks” was written. In 1927-1928 Shatilov studied the Russian population of Chulym and Shegarki. During their trips collected large collections for the Tomsk Regional Museum. Shatilov’s merit also lies in his active participation in the creation in 1925 of the Society for the Study of the Tomsk Region at the Tomsk Regional Museum (1925-1928). In April 1933, Shatilov was arrested by the OGPU and transferred to Novosibirsk. The scientist was accused of the fact that “being a member of the regional counter-revolutionary organization, he, on instructions from the center, created in Tomsk a counter-revolutionary group among the intelligentsia consisting of 8 people, i.e. in actions provided for in Art. 58-2-11 Criminal Code.” Under pressure from the investigation, Shatilov was forced to fully admit his guilt. In August 1933, by a resolution of the OGPU board, he was sentenced to 10 years in a forced labor camp. The time and place of death are unknown. In 1959 he was rehabilitated.

From an article by V.A. Khanevich Political repressions in the fate of employees of the Tomsk Regional History Museum // Proceedings of the Tomsk Regional Local History Museum: [Collection of articles]. - Tomsk. - 2002.- T. 11.

M.B. SHATILOV

Among the first employees of the Tomsk Regional Museum, who fell into the millstones of the repressive machine of the new government, was Mikhail Bonifatievich Shatilov, the creator and one of the first directors of the museum, head of its cultural and historical department.1

It should be noted that even before he was assigned to head a newly created cultural institution in Tomsk in 1922, he had already been arrested twice by the Cheka: in 1920 and 1921. He was arrested for the third time in 1931 in connection with the trial of the All-Union Menshevik Bureau.

Such a keen interest of the punitive authorities of the Soviet government in the personality of M.B. Shatilov in those years was natural. They could not help but keep in their sight this man, a well-known political and public figure in Siberia before the Bolsheviks came to power: a former leader of the Siberian regionalists, one of the active participants in the Second Extraordinary All-Siberian Congress that took place on December 7-15, 1917 and a member of the Provisional Congress elected at the congress. Siberian Regional Council. Finally, the former minister of “native affairs” of the Provisional Siberian Government at the end of 1918. 2

Having publicly renounced his former ideals and all “political activity,” M.B. Shatilov, having found himself at the origins of the creation of a new cultural and scientific institution in Tomsk, devoted all his unspent energy and strength to the creation of the Regional Museum, research and scientific work. Several ethnographic expeditions organized and undertaken by him in the 1920s to the north of the Tomsk land: both to the Khanty (Ostyaks) and to study the life of the Russian indigenous population, provided valuable material that has not lost its scientific significance to this day. However, neither his dedicated work nor his public renunciation of his former political ideals allowed him to feel at ease.

For the fourth time M.B. Shatilov was arrested at the beginning of April 1933 (the exact date of arrest is not indicated in the case) and was escorted by special convoy to Novosibirsk to the disposal of the SPO PP OGPU for the West Siberian Territory. Shatilov’s arrest was carried out by the trainee of the Tomsk OGPU operational sector Plotnikov, according to a telegraph order from Novosibirsk dated March 31, 1933.3

On April 3, 1933, this Tomsk aspiring security officer wrote a decree for the arrest of M.B. Shatilov, and then arrested him. It is also possible the other way around: first he arrested him, and then he drew up the required papers. The fact is that this document lacks an important detail - the approval signature of the head of the Tomsk OGPU SPO Zhuravlev, which may indicate either the urgency of the telegraph order for the arrest of Shatilov, or the absence of the immediate superior of the Tomsk security officer Plotnikov from the workplace at that time.

The inventory of documents seized during Shatilov’s arrest contains 27 items. Among the seized documents, books and newspapers are the files of the newspapers "Sibirsky Vestnik", "Zarya", "Omsky Vestnik" of Omsk, "Delo Sibir", "Voice of the People" of Tomsk. Among other newspapers, 3 copies of the newspaper "The Way of Siberia" of Akmolinsk and 2 copies of the newspaper "People's Siberia" of Novo-Nikolaevsk, 8 pieces of "seasonal newspapers" are listed. Books include publications such as

"International Parliament" by A. Mikhailovsky, "From Ideals to Reality" by K.V. Dubrovsky, "In Memory of N.K. Mikhailovsky", "Chernyshevsky in Siberia", "History of the Commune of 1871". A folder containing materials from the Society for the Study of Siberia was also confiscated. In the amount of 20 pieces of resolution of the Provisional Siberian Government, 6 pieces of verbatim reports of the Siberian Regional Duma, 4 copies of “Izvestia of the Siberian Regional Council”, 15 sheets of “miscellaneous paper and correspondence”, 1 notebook...

In the archival investigative file No. 593376, volume No. 17 in the case of M.B. Shatilov only 22 sheets out of 550. These are the protocols of his four interrogations (from April 10, 21, 26 and May 12, 1933). The latest interrogation protocol at the end of the investigation. Shatilov was interrogated by the detective of the 4th branch of the Secret Political Department (SPO) of the OGPU for the West Siberian Territory, Pogodaev.

From the arrestee’s questionnaire, filled out in pencil and without indicating a date, it is indicated that Mikhail Bonifatievich Shatilov was born on May 23, 1882 in the village of Smolenskoye, West Siberian Territory.4 By his social origin - the son of a peasant teacher, non-party, with a higher legal education (graduated from Tomsk University), did not serve in the Tsarist, White and other armies, had no property

(real estate) both before 1917 and after. At the time of his arrest, he lived in Tomsk, served as the director of the local history museum, by profession a researcher in the field of education, a member of the SNR (Union of Scientific Workers). In paragraph No. 15 about the political past, it is noted that he was a member in 1917-1918. in the Socialist Revolutionary Party. In the section about whether the person arrested was previously under trial or investigation, the answer is negative. The health status item states that it is “very weak.” In the last paragraph of the questionnaire about the family composition of M.B. Shatilova indicated that his wife, Shatilova (Olga Aleksandrovna), 40 years old, is a chemist at a school in Tomsk, son Igor, 17 years old, is a student, daughter Galina, 12 years old, is studying.

As already indicated, in the archival investigative file in the case of M.B. Shatilov has only four protocols of his interrogation. It is difficult to say how much he was actually interrogated, and what methods of influence Detective Pogodaev used against Shatilov, because already in the materials of the first interrogation of M.B. Shatilov dated April 10, 1933, you can see how skillfully truth and fiction were mixed here. So, at the beginning of the interrogation, data from the biography is indicated, which seems to correspond to reality or even in some way complements the previously filled out questionnaire of the arrested person. For example, the arrested person clarifies that he lived in Tomsk on Nechevsky Lane in house No. 22, sq. m. 2., in addition to the Faculty of Law of Tomsk University, he also graduated from the Faculty of History and Philology.5

He was a member of the Socialist Revolutionary Party from February 1917 to 1924 and was a representative of this party in the Temporary Revolutionary Committee of Tomsk. Before his last arrest, he had no criminal record, but was arrested by the Cheka - OGPU in 1920, 1921 and 1931. In the section of the interrogation “about serving the Whites,” he confirmed that in 1918 he was the Minister of Native Affairs as part of the Siberian Provisional Government. Well, then in his testimony “on the merits of the case” M.B. Shatilov gives incredible and destructive confessions for himself and others that he is a member of a counter-revolutionary White Guard insurgent organization that has set itself the task of overthrowing Soviet power and establishing a bourgeois democratic republic. And further he indicates that he was recruited into the said organization by a member of the leadership center of the organization G.I. Cheremnykh at the end of 1928 or beginning of 1929. He testifies that he was allegedly the head of the Tomsk peripheral organization in the organization, which he created in the Tomsk branch of the Society for the Study of Siberia and its Productive Forces. He admits that at different times he personally recruited I.M. into this organization. Myagkov, university geographer A.K. Ivanov, Khakhlov and a number of other persons, more detailed information about which he will provide additionally.

Another interrogation protocol dated April 21 begins with the following phrase: “Wanting to be sincere to the end, I show the following about my work in a counter-revolutionary organization...”. And then he names names, surnames, connections, i.e. something that could serve as a direct action by the authorities for further arrests of the named people.

Thus, he testifies that in the second half of 1930 and the first half of 1931, he personally established contact with “fully formed by that time” groups of Tomsk professors, which later allegedly became cells of the Tomsk peripheral counter-revolutionary organization. And then there is a list of these groups: “1. The group of Professor Usov, which included professors Mostovich, Shevyakov, Ponomarev, Tikhonov, Strelnikov and the former princess Urusova. 2. The group of Professor Gutovsky, which included professors Kartashov, Kryachkov, Butakov, Johansen and former librarian T.I. Pokrovsky. 3. "Group of professors Efimov and Nikolsky" consisting of Professor A.P. Belkovsky, Efimov's relative, administrative exile Meytuf, researcher Romanov, assistants Efimov and V.V. Tsuberbiller."

Further, Shatilov in his testimony indicates that through prof. V.V. Reverdatto established contact with the group of Professor F.N. Ulyashchenko, which included engineer Sevastyanov and two or three other people whose names were unknown to him. He ends his confession by confessing to the leadership of the center of the counter-revolutionary organization allegedly created in 1932, which was also led by Professor V.V. Reverdatto, M.A. Usov. N.V.Gutovsky, A.M. Nikolsky, F.N. Ulyashchenko and some other persons. One could, of course, not pay any attention to the above-mentioned nonsense of a madman. However, this deliberate lie was written by Shatilov’s hand.

It seems that M.B. Shatilov understood the consequences of such confessions in relation to people known to him and himself, but why he did this, obviously, will forever remain a secret. We are now quite well aware of the methods of influence of OGPU-NKVD investigators on those under investigation and therefore we will not be so categorical in assessing the confession of the arrested Shatilov to the investigator. It is surprising that, despite Shatilov’s testimony given above, many of the professors he listed were never arrested by the OGPU - NKVD, and those who did not escape arrest (Prof. V.V. Reverdatto, Prof. V.Ya. Mostovich ), were arrested much later than Shatilov and without any connection with his testimony.

As for the testimony of M.B. Shatilov about the essence of the program of his organization, then there are passages that, given his Socialist Revolutionary and regionalist past, could not but be part of his former political aspirations, with which he, apparently, despite the repentant statement, never parted: “New State should be built on the principle of regions and their independent economic and political development...

The working class should not enjoy special advantages over the peasantry or any other segments of the population, as is the case under Soviet power...

The peasantry must be re-educated in the spirit of perceiving the ideas of socialism, and for these purposes the organization of peasant unions is allowed on the basis of their leadership by socialist groups and associations...

The Communist Party is declared dissolved, and if it attempts to actively work against the new state, severe repressions must be taken against it...

Industry (large) remains under the control of the state. All small industry is returned to its former owners. Rail transport remains in the hands of the state. Water, with the exception of sea, is returned to the owners, with the exception of a certain remuneration, it is leased to tenants...

The large-scale industrial construction launched by the Bolsheviks is being reduced to the limits possible for its easy development... "

Shatilov fully admitted his guilt, on May 12 he signed a protocol on the completion of the investigation, adding that he fully confirms all previously given testimony, cannot say anything more and only asks that his complete repentance and desire to work further be taken into account when considering the case. And also take into account his social origin - the son of a peasant, a rural teacher.

In the indictment in the case, signed on May 13, 1933 and consisting of 228 sheets of text, not much space is allocated to Shatilov: besides him, 1,759 people were arrested in this case as participants in the White Guard conspiracy in Siberia, as indicated in the investigative materials. Of these: “former Kolchak ministers - 2, generals - 3, officers - 383, Cossack atamans and officers - 36, priests - 110, former Red partisans - 381.”

The main role of the ideological and political leader of the anti-Soviet conspiracy in Western Siberia was assigned to the security officers V.G. Boldyrev, former lieutenant general, former commander-in-chief of the Directory. For his past sins before the new Soviet government, he was forgiven, worked in the Siberian Planning Commission, lived in Novosibirsk and now... came in handy.

Speaking about the results of this process, we note that its completion was effective. By the decision of the judicial board of the OGPU on August 5, 1933, 1057 people were convicted: 219 people were sentenced to death, 92 people were sentenced to 10 years in prison, 250 people were sentenced to 5 years in camps, 72 people were sentenced to 3 years in prison, 14 people were sent into exile. . 64 people were given suspended sentences.

Of all those arrested and tried in this case, M.B. Shatilov was included in a group of 9 Tomsk residents accused as organizers of counter-revolutionary White Guard cells, whose allegedly criminal activities took place on the territory of the Tomsk region.

To this group, in addition to M.B. Shatilov were assigned to the teacher of the Tomsk Pedagogical Institute S.I. Petrov, topographer P.F. Erokhin, artist of the House of the Red Army M.N. Pepelyaev, technical director N.E. Shmonin, registrar of the Tomsk City Komkhoz Sokolov, machine shop foreman A.I. Popov, teacher of topography at the technical school Ya.I. Grebinsky and mathematics teacher at the workers' department of the Tomsk Medical Institute L.P. Vasiliev. Of these, S.I. Petrov and P.F. Erokhin were sentenced to death, and the rest, including M.B. Shatilov, sentenced to imprisonment in a correctional labor camp for a period of 10 years.

The further fate of M.B. Shatilova is unknown. Considering the state of health indicated in the questionnaire at the time of his arrest as “very weak” and the further tightening of the regime of repression in 1934 after the murder of S.M. Kirov and the mass executions in the camps during the Great Terror of 1937-38, it is unlikely that he spent long in the role of a simple Soviet prisoner. He died from exhaustion and overwork or was shot in the camp “while trying to escape” - not such a big difference in the overall outcome of his life... The traces of his family were also lost. It is known that the family of M.B. Shatilova, soon after the arrest of the head of the family, was forced to leave Tomsk, since his wife was not able to find work even as a cleaner, expelled in disgrace from her previous place of work.

The rehabilitation of people convicted in this fabricated case in 1933 began in 1956 with a statement from a certain Androsov, who was accused in it and incredibly survived after many years in Soviet camps. Let us note that this was the only application in this case with a request to reconsider the case of almost one and a half thousand convicts. Some could no longer write anything, others, if they were still alive, were afraid to stir up the past and demand justice. In his complaint, Androsov asked to review his case, stating that both before and now he did not consider and does not consider himself guilty of belonging to a rebel organization and committing counter-revolutionary crimes. During the verification of his statement, it was found that out of 225 people convicted in this case, 44 people did not admit their guilt during the investigation, which gave grounds to continue checking the filed complaint. In May 1957, investigative materials on a group of 9 Tomsk residents undergoing this process were separated into a separate proceeding and sent to the KGB for the Tomsk region for further verification. They were checked by the captain of the KGB for the Tomsk region A.A. Spragovsky.

Having carefully and scrupulously studied the archival materials on M.B. Shatilov, he came to the conclusion that this case was fabricated. On April 9, 1959, Spragovsky signed a conclusion on the need to rehabilitate M.B. Shatilov and his Tomsk

"fellow traders." On June 23, 1959, by the ruling of the Military Tribunal of the Sib VO M.B. Shatilov and his unwitting accomplices in the 1933 trial were rehabilitated.

In Tomsk today they remembered those who died during the repressions of 1937. A new exhibition was dedicated to their memory at the Museum of Political Repression. This is a portrait of the Tomsk ethnographer and political figure Mikhail Shatilov.

For the exhibition, documents, photographs and a collection of archaeological finds of Mikhail Shatilov were collected.

For being captured in '43.
Alexey Nesterenko: “When I was released, I was not allowed into Stavropol - only into Central Asia. And I was still there. It’s almost like a scandal - oh, you’re an ex, so you want to do it again.”
Those whose relatives died in the 30s and 40s also came to the exhibition today. The exhibition is dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the Great Terror. It will last two months at the Museum of Political Repression.

For a week now, Nizhny Novgorod has been waiting for a decision from the Regional Tariff Service (RST), where Oleg Yaushev, head of the Nizhny Novgorod Metro, addressed a request to increase the fare. According to him, minus the costs of transporting beneficiaries and deductions to the cashless payment operator, the cost of one trip is not 28, but 21 rubles. And this despite the fact that the cost of transportation services for an individual Nizhny Novgorod resident is almost 56 rubles! The PCT confirmed that the head of the metro had received the appeal and began analyzing the submitted documents. But the head of Nizhny Novgorod, Vladimir Panov, unexpectedly intervened in the procedure for approving new tariffs, saying that so far there is no talk of any increase in fares in the city. Looking at the boss, Mr. Yaushev immediately backed up. This is what the triumph of politics over economics means.

The situation with the supply of heat to houses and organizations in Chuvashia remains difficult. Only Cheboksary, Alatyr, Shemurshinsky, Urmara and Ibresinsky districts are 100% ready for the heating season. The situation is worst in Vurnarskoe, where the availability of heating systems as of yesterday was 6.2%. Until now, heat has not been supplied to 150 apartment buildings in Kanash, 135 houses in the Cheboksary district, 48 cultural objects in the territory of Yadrinsky, and in Yantikovsky all 30 departmental boiler houses have not even been put into operation. If prompt personnel decisions are made, there will be no one to be held accountable for the disruption of the heating season in Chuvashia: the head of the republic, Mikhail Ignatiev, was busy signing strategic documents yesterday and only held a video conference call with municipalities late in the evening.
