20 Days in Mariupol (Mstyslav Chernov, 2023)
"An emotionally devastating account of the inhumanity of war."
"Documentary film-making rarely gets more impactful and devastating than this personalised account of life inside the southern Ukrainian city of Mariupol at the start of last year’s Russian invasion."

Don't forget about Ukraine
The world, don't forget that in Ukraine it's even more cities like Mariupol have been mercilessly wiped off by Russia. Extremely horrific war crimes keep registering. Death toll can't be calculated now. We urgently need your support. Please keep spreading our voices and donate to our army and combat medics (savelife.in.ua, prytulafoundation.org, Serhii Sternenko, hospitallers.life, ptahy.vidchui.org and u24.gov.ua).

Two years ago on this day, Russia committed one of the most cynical and bloody war crimes of this war. Airstrike on the Mariupol Drama Theater, which was used as a shelter for civilians remaining in the city under the russian siege. It had "children" written in large letters in front of it for the russian pilots to see. Except they took it as a target, not as a warning.
Tumblr media
It is heartbreaking to think that we will never know the number of victims, the russians wiped out all the edivence.
On this day two years ago, some of us realized that russia is capable of anything if it remains unpunished. There are no moral boundaries for this evil.

I'm writing this post because I don't want people in other countries to imagine an ever-present warzone when they think of Ukraine.
Think of your ordinary life. You go to work, go out with friends, build plans for a summer holiday. You have neighbours, maybe you don't know all of them well but they live next to you and you say hello when you see them. You live in a good apartment, with all amenities, modern appliances and stylish furniture. You pay bills for heating, water and electricity. Maybe you're renting out or it's your own place. You are a part of a globalized world although you don't think about it on such a scale.
And then one day there are explosions in your city. At first it seems shocking and unusual. But you hope it'll end soon. But they don't stop. They become more frequent. You witness your hometown get demolished. The places where you spent your free time or ran errands - the windows get shattered and the walls begin to crumble. It looks weird in the middle of a modern city.
Soon the explosions happen so often that you have to go and live in the basement. You, a person, who has a modern home, must move to a basement, with other people like you, where you don't get enough light or fresh air, let alone enough tap water or a decent place to sleep.
And then you witness death. In fact, many deaths, not just one. You get the news of people you knew, maybe your neighbours or relatives, getting killed. They are just gone. At some point you become so desensitized, the news of a dead body lying outside doesn't shock you. Sometimes you have to go outside and help other people dig out the bodies from under debris or bury them. Sometimes you see other apartments being on fire and you can't do anything. Nobody can and there's no point.
The shops are closed and you become so desparate that you start hunting pigeons for food. You share tiny portions with other people because, even though the conditions are terrible, you remain a human.
You lose everything that you owned and cherished. And it all happens in three months. You basically lose any sense of belonging to a modern society in three fucking months. That's what happened in Mariupol. When you see the photos and videos of people in dirty ragged clothes, looking like they came straight from the middle ages, in front of a ruined street - it's easy to think of them only like this. But they never lived like that before. They lived just like you. They had everything you had - TVs, computers, cars, internet, medical care, shops with stylish clothes. And then just in three months russia made them turn into dejected shadows of themselves who forgot what normal life feels like. That's a real tragedy and that's what russians have done and are still doing to us. They are ruining our normal life which isn't much different from your normal life.

Remember this every time you open a volume of "great russian literature." Because while you are reading russian literature - russians are throwing away and destroying ukrainian literature.
Lesya Ukrainka's collection in this pile just kills me.☠️😭
p.s. to all the offended children who can't live without russians and their spoiled literature, like yesterday's cabbage soup, ventilate your rooms, go out, stroke the grass and read something else, not what you were taught at school. FUCK OFF!

basement of the last standing hospital in besieged Mariupol. "The child lived 23 days 20 hours" - says the sheet of paper laying on the little lifeless body of an infant.

We all are horrified by what's happening in Gaza.
But I beg you, go watch 20 Days in Mariupol.
A city of 400,000. They blocked the roads and bombed the evacuation corridors. Bombed the official convoys they themselves agreed to.
A quarter the size of Gaza. More than 20,000 dead civilians.
Hundreds of children dead in one air strike on a shelter.
Russia jumps hard on the Gaza bandwagon, using all your justified anger to hide their own crimes.
Please don't let them.
I beg you.
Don't let them bury what happened in Mariupol like they buried its people.

New trend among "apolitical russians" - touring the ukrainian cities destroyed by russian army in order to take "aesthetic" pictures 😍😍😍 and justifying it with "I can go wherever I want in my country" 😍😍😍😍 but also "I'm outside politics" 🥺🥺🥺

Russian realtors lead potential buyers through destroyed apartments in Mariupol, where the owners were either forced to flee, or were killed by Russian bombs. Realtors recommend to invest in “razrushka” (a mockingly derisive word, derived from "razrukha,” or ruins), and joke that the previous owners had to leave in a hurry. These are incredibly disgusting vultures.
Russian realtors and speculators are buying and selling Ukrainian homes in the cities devastated by Putin. I don’t ever want to hear from tankies about how this Russian invasion was ever about “freeing” Russian speakers 🙄 or “de-nazifying” Ukraine. It’s Russian imperialism + colonialism. It’s ruthless, cold blooded land theft.
When Russia isn’t busy kidnapping Ukrainian children, they’re stealing Ukrainian land and homes.

Exactly 2 years ago, Russians dropped a bomb on the Mariupol Drama Theater, where civilians were hiding from shelling.

an inscription on the ground, "children" is written. In Russian.

March 16 marks the anniversary of one of the largest terrorist attacks carried out by Russians in Ukraine. On this day, the occupiers dropped two powerful bombs on the building of the Mariupol Drama Theater, where about a thousand people were hiding.
Immediately after the attack, the Mariupol City Council reported about 300 civilians killed. Later, The Associated Press in its investigation put the number at 600.
But untill now, the exact number of victims of this terrorist attack is still unknown.

All evidence was destroyed by Russian monsters after the occupation of the city, but we will not forget.
"The world must remember everything that Russia has done against Ukraine and Ukrainians, and every Russian murderer must be held accountable for what they have done. We will ensure that they are held accountable," Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
