Culture

Some have wondered about Ukraine’s religous identity, and how it may compare to those worldwide. Let this be your guide.

In Ukraine, where Russian shelling is a daily backdrop, theaters are unexpectedly packed—a resilient cultural revival is quietly unfolding.

From a Soviet insulation materials factory to a Ukrainian art center for cultural freedom to a notorious Russian torture camp—IZOLYATSIA (ІЗОЛЯЦІЯ in Ukrainian) has seen it all.

The war in Ukraine finds a new front on Twitter, where the North Atlantic Fella Organization battles Russian propaganda with humor and Shiba Inu avatars. This online army raises funds and makes a real-world impact through witty memes and counter-narratives.

On May 23rd, Russia destroyed a Ukrainian book printing facility in Kharkiv with missiles—killing 7 people and injuring 20+ more. Images of Ukrainian books burning horrified many across the world. Although there is truly no target off limits for Russia, what is the logic behind an attack on a warehouse with Ukrainian books?

The Soviet Union has historically persecuted Ukrainian cultural figures—in an attempt to erase Ukraine’s identity and stifle dissent. Today, Russia continues to do the same.
