#Ukrainian culture

Russia has been systematically targeting Ukrainian cultural heritage in an attempt to erode the nation’s identity. From historic landmarks to museums and religious sites, the destruction is widespread. What has been damaged or destroyed, and how are European allies stepping in to help preserve Ukraine’s rich history? 

This is how Ukraine’s war-time season of ‘The Bachelor’ reshaped reality TV worldwide, capturing the essence of a nation facing war and embracing love.

From the much-anticipated release of Wicked to Marvel’s hit Agatha All Along , witches have dominated the spotlight this autumn. Ukraine, too, is embracing this wave—not in cinemas but on stage—with the theatrical phenomenon The Witch of Konotop . While the US has its Salem, Ukraine has its Konotop.

“Land, my dear land!” begins the trailer for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, the long-awaited return of the beloved Ukrainian game franchise—after 15 years. On screen, the character Richter sings, gesturing toward the desolate world outside. The song and scenery strike a chord for many Ukrainians, who may quietly hum along to the familiar lyrics.
