On the Defenders of Ukraine Day, the "What is to remember" project presents the results of an interdisciplinary study "Policies and practices of commemoration of the fallen soldiers in the Russian-Ukrainian war in the East of Ukraine", on which the research team worked for about six months.
The presentation will take place on October 14, 2021 at 15:00 in the "Ye" bookstore located at Kyiv, Vul. Lysenko, 3.
The study analyzed statistics on about 4,500 soldiers killed in the Russian-Ukrainian war, taking into account gender, age, burial region, professional affiliation, etc. Public opinion on the practices of commemoration soldiers killed in the Russian-Ukrainian war was clarified on the basis of a representative survey conducted in July 2021. The study also covered the legal aspects of policies and practices to commemorate the fallen servicemen: legislative features of burial, remembrance and support for the families of the victims. A separate meaningful block is the support of the families of deceased: analysis of the rights enshrined in law and the real situation.
