💙💛To understand the war, you have to go through it
✅The book “Chernihiv in War – 2022: Voices of Eyewitnesses” was presented in the Nizhyn Museum of Local Lore
✅When Russian troops began to withdraw from Chernihiv region in the spring of 2022, there was an understanding that the memory of the tragic events that took place in the occupied territories should be recorded correctly and in time. To leave them for posterity. In order not to forget. In order not to forgive.
✅Oleksandr Shevchuk, Head of the Department of Culture and Tourism of the Chernihiv City Council, and his deputy Kateryna Lytvyn spoke about the work of a large team of professionals who are implementing this memory project.
✅Almost 300 interviews have been conducted with residents of the de-occupied territories of the region, and this work continues today. Talking to people who still have an open wound in the summer of 2022 was difficult and responsible, but necessary, because it preserved all the important dates and details of those events.
The book contains 24 interviews with residents of Chernihiv, Mena, and 15 villages in the Chernihiv region. These are stories about how ordinary people survived during the occupation.
✅The publication provides factual material for scholars and historians, especially those from abroad, who have a distorted vision of the Russian-Ukrainian war. The book is also available in English, which has made it a powerful weapon in the information war for truthful coverage of the war. It has already been included in the libraries of many European countries and the United States, providing them with true facts about the real war in Ukraine.
✅The book has a QR code that allows you to switch to a voice interview and photos. It also has a unique lexicon of war. This demonstrates a scientific approach to recording testimonies and confirms the veracity of the material presented.
✅“Chernihiv in War – 2022: Voices of Eyewitnesses” tells the whole world about what happened in Chernihiv region during the Russian occupation and warns against the repetition of these events
