On March 10, 2020, the museum’s fund was replenished with new materials related to the life and activities of the prisoner of «ALZHIR» Grabskaya Irena Karlovna, who were sent to the museum’s e-mail by her son Jan Gorbachevsky, who currently lives in Texas, USA.

When Jan Gorbachevsky visited the museum on October 10, 2018, he handed over to the fund copies of materials, including a telegram addressed to Irina Grabskaya, a letter written in 1941 and addressed to Irina Grabskaya, letters from Irina Grabskaya from «ALZHIR» written on fabric, a pass to the «Intourist» hotel in the name of Grabskaya Irina Karlovna, as well as an electronic version of the English autobiography book «My War» written by the «ALZHIR» prisoner Motoshko Galina Mikhailovna and published in 1984 in the city of Manchester, UK. Galina Motoshko and Irena Grabskaya served their sentence together in «ALZHIR».
