World War II: Remembered, Reimagined, Retold “History is not meant to be forgotten, but to teach people kindness.” With this conviction, Russian concept artist Marina Nechaeva transforms personal memory and collective trauma into vibrant works of art. In the second episode of CGTN’s docuseries “World War II: Remembered, Reimagined, Retold,” Nechaeva shared her family story with CGTN Host Huang Jiyuan, a story marked by survival against impossible odds: Her great-great-grandmother lived through the Siege of Leningrad, enduring hunger, freezing winters, and the daily threat of bombardment.
