A memorial service will be held on 27 October 2006 for the victims of the Terror, murdered in the Sandarmokh Clearing in Southern Karelia on 27 October and from 1 – 4 November 1937

“Karelian land was destined to become forever the pantheon of the Executed Ukrainian Renaissance. One of the blackest pages of Ukraine’s history is written in the blood of the murdered geniuses of our nation. This history must for ever remain before us as a reminder and warning for future generations”

The last remains will be laid to rest of approximately 500 people, victims of the repressions of the 1940s. There are also plans to rebury the remains of leaders of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists Yevhen Konovalets, Stepan Bandera, Andriy Melnyk and others

There may be many more mass graves on Ukrainian territory, but access to the NKVD archives in Moscow is now needed and that road is closed to Ukrainian researchers

On 18 August a presentation will take place of an electronic “Collection of documents of the State Political Department of the Ukrainian SSR on Holodomor* 1932 – 1933 in Ukraine”

The Perm political labour camps were a terrible part of a repressive machine whose victims "Memorial" is helping to ensure will not be forgotten.

An Institute of National Remembrance will seek answers to the question how, in peacetime, 10 million human lives in Ukraine could have been lost

Despite the fact that some of the victims were children, and several skulls bear bullet marks, the Prosecutor’s Office can find "no sign of a crime"

An expanded account of the recent decision by the Chief Military Prosecutor of the Russian Federation to both close the Russian investigation into the Katyń Massacre and to deny that those murdered were victims of political repression

The "arguments" provided by Russia’s Chief Military Prosecutor’s Office dishonour the memory of the 22 000 Polish victims of this terrible crime

The Sandarmokh Cossack Cross and a call to pay tribute to the victims of Soviet Terror whose unmarked graves lie in Sandarmokh and on Solovky.
