In the occupied territories, Russian marauders in military uniforms have looted more than 100,000 artifacts from Ukraine's museum collections.

On this day, 32 years ago, students organized their first Maidan, the Revolution on Granite. Youth protested and went on a hunger strike for 15 days, from October 2nd to October 17th, 1990. This Maidan was the peak of opposition to the Soviet regime. On the granite slabs of the Kyiv center, then the Square of October Revolution, now known as the Independence Square, the students changed the country with their non-violent resistance.

Heritage Emergency Response Initiative was created in March as a reactive action to the loss of and threats to Ukraine's cultural heritage. We offer to your attention a report on the activities of this volunteer initiative for the last quarter.

Ukraine and international organizations jointly protect and will protect our cultural heritage.

This year's theme of International Museum Day is the Power of Museums.

Museum’s strength lies in values, unity, and mutual assistance. And in incredible people who every day, in different parts of Ukraine and the world, make efforts to preserve cultural heritage. It is no coincidence that ruscists keep Ukrainian museums under fire. The occupiers are constantly trying to destroy our historical memory, cultural integrity, and national identity.

More than one and a half thousand organizations and citizens of different countries call on the international community to stop the genocide of Ukrainians. The Maidan Museum also signed an appeal calling for decisive measures to stop the extermination of Ukrainians and bring those responsible for the crimes to justice.

April 26th is International Chornobyl Disaster Remembrance Day.Today the whole civilized world remembers one of the biggest man-made disasters of mankind.
