Memorial ((ロシア語:Мемориа́л)) is a Russian historical and civil rights society that operates in a number of post-Soviet states. It focuses on recording and publicising the Soviet Union's totalitarian past, but also monitors human rights in Russia and other post-Soviet states. ==Mission and activities== Memorial's full name is ''MEMORIAL: An International Historical, Educational, Human Rights And Charitable Society''. According to its charter, Memorial aims: *To promote mature civil society and democracy based on the rule of law and thus to prevent a return to totalitarianism *To assist formation of public consciousness based on the values of democracy and law, to get rid of totalitarian patterns, and to establish firmly human rights in practical politics and in public life *To promote the revelation of the truth about the historical past and perpetuate the memory of the victims of political repression exercised by totalitarian regimes.〔(MEMORIAL Charter )〕 This is done, in particular, by keeping an electronic database of the victims of political terror in the USSR. 〔(Жертвы политического террора в СССР (in Russian) )〕 Memorial organizes assistance, both legal and financial, for the victims of the Gulag. It also conducts research into the history of political repression and publicizes the findings in books, articles, exhibitions, museums, and websites of its member organizations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Memorial (society)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
