This year’s Remember. August 23’ campaign takes place in the shadow of the war in Ukraine, a tragedy affecting hundreds of thousands of people injured, murdered, imprisoned, deprived of their property and forced to flee by the Russian aggressor. On the day of yet another anniversary of the signing of the criminal Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, we should remember not only the millions of victims of the 20th-century totalitarianisms, but also the inhabitants of Irpin, Borodyanka, Bucha or Mariupol.
