Life in exile: children of Russia's Gulag fight to return home

The children of former Gulag prisoners have been waiting for 30 years to "go home" and obtain housing in their home town, as the law promises them. Today, they often still live close to the former camps in remote areas. But after a verdict by the Constitutional Court calling for a quick solution, the bill presented to parliament remains insufficient, with a wait of another 30 years to come. The second reading of the bill, starting on 18 January, is the last chance to introduce the necessary amendments to unblock the situation.
