The last word of the sign over the door is "Stalin".
Do a search for a book called "drawings from the gulag". Someone who was stationed at the gulags recorded what he saw. Not for the squeamish. Plenty of images posted online.

The banner over the door translates to “Long Live Comrade Stalin”.
Thanks for the reference to Baldaev.

Reply from my friend who was a Russian translator back in the day:
“The sign over the door says ‘Long Live Comrade Stalin’. The other is too tough after 52 years!”

(Our biggest problem by far is that most of the news media is hate & agenda driven, not truth driven.)
