Among other things, lectures on Marxism-Leninism were conducted here. The military uniforms on the wall are those of KGB officers – a lieutenant and a senior lieutenant. The secret police uniforms underwent several changes between 1940 and 1983, but the light blue band on the service cap, the sign of the secret police, remained.
The scales at the back of the room were used to weigh food parcels brought by the prisoners’ relatives, to see that they did not exceed the allowed weight. Not all prisoners, however, had the right to receive parcels. It depended on the interrogator.
