Tetyana Denford - How Art, Music, Literature, Culture and Fashion are Reinforcing Ukrainian Identity

Ukraine is fighting for its very existence, against an enemy that repeatedly claims it is not a real country, that it has no identity and culture as distinct from Russian culture, and that Ukrainian is not an independent language. Equally on the far left and extreme right in the West, there are some who see Ukraine as a tool of Western foreign policy. But Ukrainians have agency, and the right to determine their future, the evolution of their political system and which alliances they want to entertain. Today we are exploring the cultural aspects of this David and Goliath struggle of a young democracy versus an old autocracy.
