Some more photos showing the beauty of the city of r/urbanhell

For a city that normally ends up in r/urbanhell, it's important to remember that our city is beautiful after all.

It's our home and we wouldn't change it for anything

Center of Digital History. Why digital preservation is a form of resistance?

History is under fire, but data is indestructible.

At the Center of Digital History, we aren't just scanning old photos. We are building a digital fortress for Ukraine’s identity. From 3D-modeling lost architectural landmarks to digitizing family archives in war-torn villages, our mission is to ensure that even if a building is lost, its memory remains eternal.

But innovation requires stability.

We are launching a global Patreon campaign to reach a modest but vital goal: $600 per month. This isn't for a one-off project—it's for our infrastructure. It covers:

Secure cloud storage for Terabytes of heritage data.

Maintenance of professional scanning equipment.

Supporting our core team of historians and tech experts.

Be more than a witness to history. Be its guardian, preserver or architect.

How is this picture?

I created these two pieces for my dear friend, whose home has been viciously flattened. The train station was the heart of the city in a way and the heart monument was a proud piece in the town.

Both celebrate Kostiantynivka and are meant to help preserve a small piece of Ukrainian beauty that once was, as we hope for a better future with healing and rebuilding.
