The project's goal is to draw public attention to the importance of memorialization, preserve historical and cultural memory, and strengthen Ukrainian civic identity.

The project was implemented by the NGO Historical Platform with the support of the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation. It is intended to draw attention to those who have fallen in the fight against the invading Russian forces.

The exhibition is also on display in Vinnytsia, Lutsk, and Poltava. In Kyiv, the exhibition is located in a park near the Kontraktova Ploshcha metro station.
