Memorial International

Memorial International is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the history of political repression and human rights abuses, primarily in Russia and the former Soviet Union. It investigates and documents stories of political prisoners, victims of government persecution, and state violence to promote awareness and accountability. By gathering archival materials, conducting research, and sharing these stories, Memorial aims to foster remembrance, justice, and a deeper understanding of oppressive regimes’ impacts on individuals and society. The organization plays a vital role in ensuring that history’s lessons are remembered and that efforts to prevent similar abuses continue.
