The Stone of Sorrow, a memorial to victims of Soviet political repression, was dismantled at night under the official explanation that a former NKVD garage had to be protected —part of the infrastructure associated with the “black vans” of the Great Terror https://t.co/uFK1YkxinV

Overnight, the Stone of Sorrow was dismantled. I set out not only to understand what happened, but to document it. That is what I have done. https://t.co/ThTiHny2Sh

Я обратил внимание на то, что снос мемориала жертвам политических репрессий в Томске – 19 апреля – совпал с датой основания СМЕРШ. Возможно, это совпадение. Но, для таких совпадений существует вполне устойчивый термин — «чекистский юморок». Сигнал считан. https://t.co/1Z0qdrB1m5

The demolition of the Stone of Sorrow memorial in Tomsk marks another moment in the unfolding “memory wars” between Russia and Europe — where monuments reflect deeper struggles over history, identity, and legitimacy. https://t.co/tAjXC4nEFS

It appears that the Stone of Sorrow memorial in Tomsk has been permanently removed. It will not be restored. https://t.co/SWvaDY4Gsj

Судя по всему, “Камень скорби” в Томске снесен окончательно. Он не будет восстановлен. https://t.co/XXNaitKFwR

Думаю, что следующим закономерным шагом после сноса мемориального камня жертвам политических репрессий в Томске последует почти гарантированная попытка убрать Соловецкий камень с Лубянской площади в Москве. https://t.co/XXNaitKFwR

After the demolition of the memorial stone to the victims of political repression in Tomsk, the next logical step is an almost inevitable attempt to remove the Solovetsky Stone from Lubyanka Square in Moscow. https://t.co/SWvaDY4Gsj

In the center of Tomsk, a Siberian city with a long and layered history, a memorial to the victims of Soviet political repression has quietly disappeared. https://t.co/YiW1hbQvyR

I argue that the KARAGODIN® Investigation and STEPINQUEST® function as executable systems — operating within institutional, archival, and symbolic environments — and that publishing them on GitHub is not a metaphor, but a precise act of implementation. https://t.co/ekQ9vK6Jw5

Node Above the Archive — institutional positioning. As part of the ongoing development of Node Above the Archive, the project has been positioned within an international institutional context spanning art, technology, and critical research. https://t.co/EqkI778W3T

[Denis Karagodin @karagodin]

Node Above the Archive is a site-specific infrastructural intervention in which a functioning public mesh node is positioned above the Tomsk FSB archive in Western Siberia, Russia, turning signal, address, and network presence into a memorial form that cannot be removed or erased

STEPINQUEST®: Quand les preuves cessent de produire des conséquences, l’enquête doit devenir processus. Une forme opératoire d’enquête qui transforme la preuve en processus — de manière à la rendre opérante. https://t.co/V6MIHZzfb5

STEPINQUEST® is now available in French. Its methodological framework and core principles — a narrative-based investigative approach — are now open to French-speaking audiences. https://t.co/umA7L7qKZq
