Presentation of the book “Mariupol on the Waves of History (1780–2022)”, written by Irina Ponomaryova - Doctor of Historical Sciences, ethnographer.

The researcher combined archival documents, memoirs, newspaper essays, works of art, and memories of the townspeople into a colorful mosaic of the history of the city of Mariupol - how from a picturesque seaside town it became a Ukrainian industrial giant, a historical, political, and spiritual center of southeastern Ukraine.
The book contains a lot of materials about how the city lived in various socio-political realities from the moment Mariupol was founded in 1780 - as part of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, at the beginning of Ukraine's independence, and up to the events of 2022.
