The project features photographs taken by the editor-in-chief of the New Regions of Russia magazine, Sergey Venyavsky, during the period from May 2022 to September 2023 in the areas affected by the special military operation, including the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, as well as Zaporozhye, Kherson, Rostov, Kursk, and Belgorod regions of Russia.

The goal of the project is to provide visual evidence of the crimes committed by the Ukrainian government against the civilian population in these regions, as well as to allow Russian citizens and the global community to witness the atrocities of neo-Nazism in the 21st century. The photographs aim to preserve the truth about these events for future generations and to prevent such crimes from happening again.

These include cities on the reunited territories, such as Mariupol (DPR), Berdyansk, and Melitopol (Zaporozhye region). The project will also be shown in border towns such as Kursk, Belgorod, and Rostov-on-Don.
