During the active dialogue, everyone present could express their thoughts on the historical memory and fate of our region during the Second World War. Participants shared memories of relatives who witnessed tragic events, and emphasized that war is a bloody tragedy of humanity.

According to the staff of the Luhansk Regional Universal Library named after M.

The atmosphere of mutual understanding and mutual respect that prevailed during the conversation, contributes to encouraging the community to an informal format of communication.
