This is an amazing Russian project to name each and every victim of Soviet terror and restore human dignity to those who have been murdered by the criminal Stalinist government and the associated “authorities”. The project was founded by Andrey Shalayev.
You will also find many other original documents on this site.
A complete list of those executed, repressed, expelled and deported to the USSR.
Here I compiled a sample page to see the information on just one person, who has been incarcerated by the Soviet state authorities injustly and how this is displayed on the site.

Look at these faces.
Mishenka Shamonin was fourteen years old, Vanya Belokashkin and Sasha Petrakov were sixteen when they were killed. Valera Meyer is seventeen. Kolya Gusev is nineteen. Raya Bochlen was twenty… Next? Meyerhold was sixty-five. Matryona Ivanovna Rybnikova was seventy-four years old.They could all move on with their lives. To love, give birth and rock children or grandchildren, read and write poetry, and just walk in the sun or rain. It’s not a matter of age. Not in the profession. Not in talent. You can’t take a life. And they were killed.
They killed him just like that. For show, for a plan, to intimidate those who still lived. They can no longer be helped. You can only help yourself and your children.
What we can do?
Not much, it seems. We can preserve the memory.
