This book points the way to retribution and gives hope for justice
Shelling of the station in Kramatorsk and the shopping center in Kremenchuk, the bombing of the center of Chernihiv and the maternity hospital in Mariupol, the deportation of Ukrainian children to russia, the detention of an entire village in the school basement in Yahidne, the persecution of people and the torture chamber in Kherson region and Kharkiv region, the occupation of the Chornobyl nuclear power plant and a hospital in Mykolaiv region...
A collection of reports about these events written by journalists of The Reckoning Project — an initiative of Ukrainian and international media, analysts, and lawyers to document war crimes — is a historical document of the first year of the great war. The voices of witnesses and survivors, which were heard in them, have already destroyed russia's intention to once again hide its own crimes and drown their memory in an ocean of lies. But, despite the concentrated pain, the texts of this collection turn tragic memories into evidence that can be used in court proceedings.
The book The Most Terrible Days of My Life points the way to retribution and gives hope for justice.
The Reckoning Project is an international project that, after the full-scale invasion of russia, brought together leading Ukrainian and international journalists, analysts, and lawyers to document russian war crimes.
The project team collects evidence according to an established methodology, which makes it possible to use it in court proceedings. Report texts and documentaries for the world media are created based on the testimonies, under the guidance of Nataliya Gumenyuk (head of the Public Interest Journalism Laboratory), Peter Pomerantsev, and Janine di Giovanni.
The book is published with the support of the Ukrainian Helsinki Union for Human Rights.
