At the initiative of photographers Shklyarova Vitaly and Sergey Abramchuk, children survivors of the catastrophe, was born on this project. Constantine Danilov said: "The fact that we are there painted, is not graffiti. Because graffiti - is drawing their names on the walls in the form of letters. What we were doing there - this is pure art, which I did under the influence of the atmosphere, in which he was. This project brings hope to again draw attention to the place of tragedy, encourage people to think about everything that happened. "
