History and culture – where Ukraine is winning
1h 40 min Coming soon
- Historical and cultural context of the war: distinctive features of Ukrainians. Despite the fact that the aggressor cynically calls Ukrainians a "brotherly people", there are more differences than similarities between the inhabitants of Russia and Ukraine. Where are those differences?
- The phenomenon of cultural association. Pink Floyd with "Oh, in the meadow red viburnum", Bono (U2) in the Kyiv subway station and others: how the Ukrainian agenda burst into the culture of the world.
- War as a new layer of culture: a creative leap of Ukraine. The brutal war that instantly united the entire country, the heroism of the soldiers and the dedication of the volunteers will become inexhaustible themes for new works of art. What will be the creative work of Ukrainian authors and how will the world artists reflect it?
