CHRONICLE OF COURAGE

The ‘Chronicle of Courage’ project was launched to honour the memory of students, teaching staff and employees of the West Ukrainian National University who gave their lives defending Ukraine from the Russian aggressor.

This Chronicle is not just an archive, but a reminder of the price of freedom, the resilience and dedication of our heroes. We collect and systematise information about their lives, heroic deeds, dates, circumstances and places of death in order to preserve these memories for future generations.

To the devoted sons of Ukraine, the heroic defenders – eternal honour and gratitude.
