The Perm-36 memorial center based in the Perm Territory in the Urals was officially opened in 1996. It is based at the former prison camp, established on Joseph Stalin's orders in the 1940s.
The exhibition, which first went on display in New York in 2006, will open at the Martin Luther King National Historic Site on Wednesday.
Over 200 exhibits will be on display relating the experiences of the millions who perished in Soviet labor camps between 1929-1953 and those imprisoned as dissidents in 1960-80s, as well as the events surrounding the break up of the Soviet Union up to the present date.
The exhibition, which proved extremely popular with over 400,000 people visiting the exposition in New York last year, will remain in Georgia until February 2008, when it will move onto New York and Washington.
Until late 1987, when the Perm prison camp was closed, it was a former site for the torture and imprisonment of Soviet dissidents, human rights activists, as well as politicians, writers and those the state considered were opposed to Communism.
