The photo album “Chronicles of Mykolaiv – 2022” is a documentary book about the first year of the full-scale war in the city.
It preserves the memory of Mykolaiv from February 24 to December 31, 2022.
Its pages show streets, buildings, shelters, public services, volunteers, doctors, transport, and people who stayed close to their city.
This is not a ceremonial story, but a living chronicle of everyday resistance.
The album includes 389 photographs that capture the pain, exhaustion, mutual support, and strength of Mykolaiv residents.
Every image matters because it carries a specific day, a specific place, and a human presence.
The book shows not only destruction, but also the way the city continued to work, help, and endure.
In this edition, Mykolaiv appears as a southern stronghold of Ukraine.
It appears as a city that did not disappear from the map of life even in the darkest days.
The texts in the album help readers follow the events in chronological order.
Together with the photographs, they form a calendar of memory for 2022.

It is also important for those who were far away but kept thinking about the city.
The photo album allows readers to return to the events without excessive pathos or embellishment.
It speaks through facts, light, shadows, and human faces.
There is fear in this book, but there is also dignity.
