The war, which has been going on for the tenth year in Ukraine, has affected every resident. People of different ages, different professions, interests and life values - everyone has something to tell about their experiences in wartime.
The Museum of Civilian Voices of the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation has been collecting stories about the war since 2014. Its archive has already reached 70,000 stories — honest, scary, touching first-hand stories. These are the faces, voices, destinies of people. Those who survived and about those who are no longer there. About trouble and hope.
Each such story is an important testimony of what is really happening in our country. Each one helps to form and preserve the national memory of Ukraine.
The Museum is the world's largest archive of stories of civilians of Ukraine who suffered from the war. Its mission is to preserve the memory of past and present events for the sake of a better, peaceful future, to prevent people's voices from turning into white noise, and destinies into faceless statistics. And to make these voices heard by the whole world.
The Museum of Civilian Voices constantly collects stories and expands the horizons of international cooperation with the press, scientists, and educational institutions. The Museum aims to teach people to actually remember, not just record data. In addition, the collected stories will become - and already are - evidence against the enemy in international courts.
Ukraine will definitely win, peace and justice will be restored. And the memory will remain, and tens of thousands of civilian voices will tell stories about the war to future generations.
