Tatyana Kursina is the former director of the NGO Memorial Center of Political Repression 'Perm-36' which ran Russia's only GULAG museum set up in 1994 on the basis of Perm-36, a Soviet-era labour camp (1946-87). On 22 July the Prikamye district court in Perm fined the NGO 300,000 roubles for failing to register as a foreign agent. The court also fined Tatyana Kursina 100,000 roubles.

Perm-36 announced that it was dissolving when officials from the regional government took over control of the museum. In March 2015, Perm-36 announced it had started the dissolution process after regional officials seized control of the museum. On 30 April 2015, the Justice Ministry ruled that Perm-36 was a "foreign agent."
