That shapes a new culture of memory for the people killed by Russia: military personnel, civilians, volunteers, journalists, medics, teachers, and children. The organization works at the intersection of journalism, documentary filmmaking, human rights advocacy, public history, and community engagement.
The team collects, verifies, and publishes the stories of the deceased, creates memory videos, documentaries, exhibitions, special projects, public campaigns, and educational formats for communities. As of April 30, 2026, 12,288 stories of the deceased have been published on the Memorial platform.
In partnership with the Hrabar Foundation, Memorial developed the "Table of Memory" into a national tradition of honoring the fallen defenders of Ukraine. In 2025, 3,000 tables of memory across Ukraine and in 16 countries around the world united millions of Ukrainians. In addition, Memorial created the exhibition "Lost Childhood," dedicated to children whose lives were taken by Russia. The exhibition consists of 33 collages featuring children's stories, is translated into nine languages, and has been presented in over 20 countries. In 2025, it had 19 screenings in Ukraine and abroad, including in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Poland, Ireland, and other countries.
