EnglishПриглашаем посетить наш новый сайт по адресу www.eduvol.ru The aim of the project is to bring together young volunteers and elderly people who were subjected to political repression in the Soviet period. The EVS volunteers take care of elderly victims of political repression in their everyday life. About 4 500 people, which was political persecuted, live now in the city and are members of the Society “Memorial”. About 40 from them are lonely and ill and need regularly help. They can’t often afford to pay for the state social help. For those aims the social voluntary service of “Youth Memorial” was created about 20 years ago. Since 2003 foreign volunteers (along with young Russians) visit elderly victims of political repression, help them with cooking, cleaning of the flat and shopping for food and medications.

We are a non-profit public charity based on voluntary contributions and grants. We work with disadvantaged children, kids from multi-child and needy families. The organization has existed for 20 years. The initial aim was to eliminate the number of homeless children. In 7 years we reached this goal and kept on doing other activities: opened shelters, 2 drop-in centers, focusing on socializing those children. Now the organization is working with a special orphanage, risk group children from the suburbs, and children in prison.

It is difficult to communicate, but by each visit I am able to understand and say a bit more than last time. READ MORE

Political repression under Stalin in the Soviet Union is still apparent today in the former Soviet Union. Eyewitnesses and their children are still alive today. This year, another collaborative camp between Action Reconciliation Service for Peace and the Russian NGO Memorial will be held.
