Summary

Photo Series, July 2023, Kyiv.

The memorial service of Ukrainian writer and human rights activist Victoria Amelina, 37 was held in St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery in Kyiv on July 4, 2023, as the public came to pay tribute. Victoria Amelina died after being injured in a Russian missile strike on a restaurant in Kramatorsk on June 27. Since the war started, she has been working as a war crimes researcher, documenting Russian war crimes in de-occupied territories in her home country.

「這是戰爭所帶來的。詩詞中每一句子都是短暫的、每一個標點符號是奢侈的、劇本都是未明的、但每一點一滴都是舉足輕重而富有深意的，跟戰爭一樣。」

這是烏克蘭作家及人權份子維多利亞·阿梅麗亞（Victoria Amelina) 生前接受訪問中，談及詩詞文學在戰亂時代擔任記錄角色的重要性。
當2023年6月27日一枚俄羅斯巡航導彈擊中烏克蘭東部克拉馬托爾斯克（Kramatorsk）一間披薩餐廳時，她正和兩名作家及記者好友正在用餐，她在轟炸中嚴重受傷，4天後傷重不治，享年37歲；俄軍的轟炸更奪去另外12名平民的姓命，包括一對14歲雙胞胎姊妹及17歲少女的生命，事件震驚全國。
