International photo project "We accuse" to be opened in Moscow

On December 4th, 2024, the grand opening of the international photo project We Accuse will be held in Moscow.

The project will be launched simultaneously at two locations - the central building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation and the Presidential Library of the Administrative Directorate of the President of Russian Federation.

We Accuse is an exceptional in Russia international joint project, organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the magazine New Regions of Russia, and the Presidential Library.

The photo project presents photographs taken by the editor-in-chief of the magazine New Regions of Russia, Sergey Venyavsky, a member of the Union of Journalists of Russia, in the period from May 2022 to September 2024, in the area of the special military operation, as well as in the border regions of Russia: Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, Zaporozhye, Kherson, Rostov, Kursk, and Belgorod.

The main objectives of the project are to provide visual evidence of the crimes committed by the Kiev regime against civilians in the Russian Federation.
