Journey for Truth Project:
The Untold Stories of Russian Crimes
Long before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022, Ukrainians were already the victims of crimes organized by the Kremlin on Kyiv’s Maidan, in eastern Ukraine, and in Crimea. Despite the rules set out in international treaties such as the Rome Statute, the Geneva Conventions, and other international laws and agreements, many of which Russia is a signatory to, the Putin regime overtly mocks and brutally violates these rules. The unprovoked war launched by Russia on February 24, 2022, was the largest attack on a European country since World War II. It not only constituted the crime of aggression, but also resulted in genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes including the murder of innocent civilians; the unlawful seizure and deportation of children; the rampant use of torture and rape; strikes on grain depots and distribution hubs; the bombing of hospitals, religious and cultural institutions, and civilian infrastructure; and the obliteration of entire towns and cities.
The Journey for Truth Project: The Untold Stories of Russian Crimes is a special initiative of the Peterson Literary Fund at BCU Foundation. Working with renowned authors and international partners, this Designated Fund focuses on the dissemination of fact-based information about the myriad crimes committed by Russia. The program supports relevant online and print publications (books, magazines, news platforms), documentary films, scholarly research, international conferences, and other public forums that expose the truth about Russia’s brutal aggression, its threat to peace and democracy, its violation of human rights, and the innocent victims who seek justice and accountability.
