About the project

The website is dedicated to the heroic victims of the events that took place in Ukraine from November, 2013, and received the name "Revolyutsiya gidnosti" (Revolution of dignity"), and also to all the subsequent events in the Crimea and south-eastern Ukraine. It is about creating a kind of individual memorial to every fallen Hero...

... In 1993, a German artist Gunter Demnig proposed and designed the memorial project "Stumbling blocks" ("Stolpersteine"). Since then, the project has received the widest spreading throughout Europe. The website vognik.info by its content is a kind of Ukrainian analogue of that European project.

So for all comers we are ready to make plaques which could be installed on the building faces or inside the houses where the heroes of the aforementioned events lived, as well as in schools and Universities where they studied.

In the plaques production, we use the latest German technology of printing on different materials. This technology allows to use colors and to produce high resolution images; it has a very sound vandal resistance, including temperature resistance and inertness to most commonly encountered chemical agents, particularly to paints and solvents.

The high optical resolution of images provides an opportunity to place an individual QR-code at each plaque, which can be read by the modern gadgets thus allowing to get instantly more complete description of the particular event and the person on the Internet.

The plaque size is 210 x 297 mm (size of a standard A4 sheet) or 297 x 420 mm (A3 sheet). Other sizes are also possible. This makes it possible to easily read the QR-code on the plaque fixed at a height of approx. 1.8-2.0 m. Material: stainless steel or aluminum of 0.5-2 mm thick. The layout and content of the text shall be agreed upon individually. The production time is 1 week. The postal delivery will take extra 7-10 days.

For indoor mounting, we recommend to use self-adhesive plastic bilateral elements 10 mm in diameter and 1 mm thick (manufactured by Henkel, Düsseldorf, supplied within the package), which ensure much more fixing strength compared to the strength of plaster or pasted wallpaper. For outdoor (street) fixation, we recommend to use metal screws or bolts made of stainless materials or coatings with anti-vandal heads.

List

You can see what it really looks like by clicking on the links below. It is with them we started the mournful list of Heroes (in alphabetical order) who gave their lives for European values, territorial integrity and national independence of Ukraine.

For inclusion in this sad list it is enough to send us a surname, name and patronymic of a Hero, dates of his birth and death, as well as the text (draft project) you want to be written on the plaque. After that we will contact the initiators of the memorial plaque and quickly come to a common decision on its design.

Further content uploading to every individual page of the Hero, - his biographical facts, details of his life and heroic death, photos of friends and family, the continuation of life in children and grandchildren - we are ready to delegate this to the initiators of the memorial plaque: relatives or volunteers. Any user can add opinions and comments at any time, but the text will become publicly available only after the pre-moderation.

We invite relatives and friends of Heroes to participate in this project: do not hesitate to contact us with a proposal to memorialize your loved one, even if you do not have any money for it. To begin with, we will together design the text and color layout of the future memorial plaque, and then we will together seek for funding.
