The war in Ukraine didn’t start in 2022 or even in 2014—it has roots that stretch back centuries. It began when larger powers, especially Russia, sought to shape Ukrainian identity and incorporate it into their expanding empires. This ongoing conflict, sparked by Russia’s aggression, is not just about territory or political power; it is an assault on Ukraine’s identity and cultural heritage. The bombardment of cities threatens to erase centuries of history reflected in cultural heritage sites. The targeting of these symbols signifies an attack on the very soul of the nation—its history, culture, and identity. This destruction isn’t new; it has historical roots in the repression of Ukrainian identity, beginning in Tsarist times and intensifying during the Soviet era, now evolving into a more grotesque form of obliteration.
This is a book project, it will come out as a publication with Osnovy publishing in Kyiv.
