Categories / Social Life/Social Organizations and Unions

MEMORIAL (9 Razyezzhaya Street, 23 Rubinsteina Street), a charitable historical and educational human rights non-profit organisation. It was instituted in 1988 on the basis of the movement for erecting monuments to victims of political repressions during the Soviet regime (the initiative group included E.M. Proshina, M.G. Zhzhenova, G.S. Lebedev, T.B. Pritykina and others). Through different years the organisation was co-chaired by V.V. Iofe, Y.B. Lyuba, B.P. Pustyntsev, R.L. Tkachev, S.D. Khakhaev, V.E. Shnitke and others. In 2003, the organisation had over 2,000 members. The organisation is involved in social activities (social statistics, medical aid, welfare and other assistance to former political prisoners and their families); human rights activities (legal advocacy, civil actions, anti-fascist and penitentiary commissions); historical and educational activities administered by Memorial Science Information Centre (founded by V.V. Ioffe in 1991; it includes an archive, a library, and a publishing office) and the Educational centre, comprising a museum, a debate club, and a youth centre. In 1989-91 for the first time in our country, Memorial initiated gatherings of former political prisoners (over 300 participants); the organisation has also discovered the sites of mass executions by shooting and burial places of victims of political repressions (see Repression victims cemeteries), and formed a background for the establishment of Soldier's Mothers (1991), Civil Control (1992) and other associations. The organisation publishes a historical anthology entitled Vestnik Memoriala (Memorial's Bulletin), historical collections, Tumbalalaika magazine (Antifashistsky Motiv (Anti-fascist motif) since 2002).
