The Survivors

THE SURVIVORS — is a project representing memoirs of victims of the mass repression in the form of graphic novels. This project builds awareness of the tragic events in the history of Russia among the youth enabling them to feel the pain and horror of those unjust times so that everyone could see how important it is to prevent this from happening again.
