Mariupol remembers

"MARIUPOL REMEMBERS" is a virtual Book of Memory of Mariupol soldiers who died during the Russian-Ukrainian war, and the defenders of Mariupol.

 

The memorial project is being implemented by the Mariupol Museum of Local Lore in cooperation with the Department of Cultural and Public Development of the Mariupol City Council at the initiative of the Women of Steel organization.

 

Mariupol is one of the cities in Ukraine that suffered the most losses from the treacherous Russian invasion. A city that is proud of its sons and daughters who defend our lives, freedom and dignity of the entire country. A city that preserves the memory of everyone who gave their lives trying to stop the enemy and restore peace.

 

The memorialization of the memory of the defenders of Mariupol is just a small manifestation of that boundless respect for everyone who defends the freedom and dignity of Ukraine at the cost of their own lives, a gratitude that every Mariupol resident will carry in their heart forever.

Currently, the "MARIUPOL REMEMBERS" project team has collected dozens of multifaceted and heroic stories of fallen Ukrainian patriots from Mariupol, who served with loyalty and honor in various units:

 

  • separate special forces unit "Azov" of the NGU

  • 12th Operational Brigade of the NGU

  • 3rd Separate Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

  • 23rd detachment of the Mariupol City Maritime Guard, State Border Guard Service of Ukraine

  • 1st (Donetsk) Border Detachment of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine

  • 56th Separate Motorized Infantry Mariupol Brigade

  • National Police of Ukraine

  • Territorial Defense Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

  • Airborne Assault and Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

  • Security Service of Ukraine and others.

 

Among our Heroes are those who gave their lives defending their native Mariupol, or defending the integrity of Ukraine in battles near other settlements, those who died in captivity from cruel torture, injuries received, and during a treacherous terrorist attack on the territory of the colony in the village of Olenivka.

 

The bodies of many servicemen have still not been found or returned from the scene of their deaths. Together with the families, we mourn all those who died and believe in the return alive of every defender who is currently considered missing.

 

Publications about the fallen Heroes are collected in 2 groups:


1) materials about the dead soldiers from Mariupol;
2) materials about fighters from other regions who died defending Mariupol and the Mariupol district.

 

While the war is ongoing, it is not possible to establish the exact number of those killed, to name everyone by name, or to tell the story of each one. However, we continue to carefully collect and process all open information. Send the stories of your dearest Heroes of Mariupol and defenders of Mariupol who died after February 24, 2022 for the happy future of Ukraine to the email address of the Mariupol Museum of Local Lore mamu1920@ukr.net .

 

We express our gratitude to each family and everyone who joined the project and helped perpetuate the memory of the resolute and brave Ukrainian fighters who, at the cost of their own lives, brought the Victory of Ukraine closer from the first days of the full-scale invasion.

 

Mariupol mourns all those who died. Mariupol appreciates. Mariupol remembers.

 

Bright memory and eternal honor to our fallen Heroes!
