International photo project "We accuse" presented in Kursk

14 January 2025

On January 14, 2025, the grand opening of the first stage of the Russian regional exhibition of the international photo project We Accuse took place in the city of Kursk.

The exhibition We Accuse, which was first opened on December 4, 2024, was simultaneously hosted at two venues in Moscow - 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 the Russian Federation.

This is a unique international joint project between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the magazine New Regions of Russia, the Presidential Library, and the Russian Military Historical Society.

The exhibition features a series of black-and-white photographs taken from May 2022 to September 2024, in the areas of a special military operation and the border regions of Russia, including the Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporizhia, Kherson, Rostov, and Kursk regions.

The primary goals of the photo project are to present visual evidence of the abuses committed by the Kiev regime against civilians in our country, and to allow Russian citizens and the global community to witness the atrocities of neo-Nazism in the 21st century. The exhibition aims to preserve the truth about recent events for future generations and to ensure that the world understands the gravity of these crimes.

The residents of the Republic of Angola were among the first to view the exhibition abroad, which was opened at the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Luanda, the capital city of the country. After the success of the exhibition in Kursk, regional exhibitions of the photo project are scheduled to be held in other cities in Russia, including Mariupol, Zaporozhye, Kherson, and Leningrad regions.

The project is being supported by the governments of the Leningrad, Kursk, and Belgorod regions, as well as the administrations of the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, the legislative assembly of the Rostov region, PJSC Promsvyazbank, and JSC Center for Construction Control and Expertise of the Leningrad region, Molot Publishing House, and the information and analytical bulletin TASS Russia Southeast and Donetsk news agencies.

The materials of the We Accuse photo project can be viewed electronically on the Presidential Library's portal. Other photographs by Sergei Venyavsky, dedicated to the reunified territories, as well as the electronic version of the first issue of the magazine New Regions of Russia, are also available on the library's portal.

In Kursk, the exhibition can be seen at 49 Lenin Street (Street Exhibition Complex).
