TL;DR

The Gulag History Museum in Moscow will be transformed into a museum focused on Nazi war crimes instead of Soviet history of brutality, as announced by the city government.

The Gulag History Museum in Moscow is being replaced by a new museum that will focus on documenting Nazi war crimes and the 'genocide of the Soviet people,' as announced by the city's Culture Department. The move symbolizes a shift in historical emphasis from Soviet repression to atrocities committed by the Nazis during World War II.
