Prison for the enemies of communism Tuol Sleng and Choeung Ek
Writes Andrew Gavrikov:
"After a great walk around the city, inadvertent entry Cambodian wedding, a visit to two places to change the vector of our sentiments to the other side. Yes, we were also impressed, but the quality of these emotions are completely opposite of joy. From the history of some of the facts can not be cut, especially such as the terror of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, years 1975-1979. This heavy period for the country can be found in the Genocide Museum and Killing Fields. "
