"People of Culture Taken Away by the War" is a series of features published on a separate website. While working on the stories, the project team researches the fallen heroes’ heritage and talks to their relatives and colleagues. The special project is aimed to preserve the memory of the people of whom the war has deprived the Ukrainian culture and to testify about Russia’s genocidal intentions. In 2025, the project will be continued on the Ukrainian PEN website.
