Kolga, an Estonian-Canadian, is the director of the award-winning documentary film, "Gulag 113." Designer Tarmo Saks and programmer Paul Saumets, both Estonian-Canadians, join Kolga on the development team.

Chairman Lee Edwards made the announcement at the Foundation's 9th annual Truman-Reagan Medal of Freedom Awards ceremony at the Hungarian Embassy on November 15.

"We are delighted," said Edwards, "that we will be able to utilize the outstanding talent and imagination of Marcus Kolga and his firm as we build the Global Virtual Museum on Communism. We interviewed seven companies in the U.S., Canada and Sweden, and Liefa was our unanimous choice."

Edwards said the Foundation hoped to launch the Global Virtual Museum during the summer of 2008.

On June 12, 2007, the Foundation dedicated its Memorial in Washington, D.C to the more than 100 million victims of communism. It is now focusing on developing the interactive Global Virtual Museum on Communism, which will serve as an international portal to educate this generation and future generations about the history, philosophy, and legacy of communism.

The Memorial and the Global Virtual Museum have received major support from the Baltic-American community as well as the governments of Estonia,
Latvia, and Lithuania.
