Human is a duty, not a title

these words belong to Vasyl Stus, a Ukrainian poet, translator, human rights activist, and active member of a dissident movement. For his civic position, defending the right of Ukrainian culture to development his works were banned by the Soviet regime and he spent 13 years in detention until his death in Perm-36, a Soviet forced labor camp for political prisoners, in 1985.

Reports of sexual violence involving Russian soldiers are multiplying

 

On March 22, Iryna Venediktova, Ukraine’s prosecutor general, said in a Facebook post that a Russian soldier had killed an unarmed civilian and then repeatedly raped his wife in front of her underage kid. That is the first case in which a Russian serviceman was officially informed about the suspicion of violating the laws and customs of war. He was wanted and a request for detention was filed with the court. 

 

One of the victims – Natalia – told her story to NY Times. It happened to her on March 9. First, the Russian occupiers entered Brovary (a city near Kyiv), where she lived with her husband and 4-year-old son. Then the villains broke the car, killed the dog, shot the husband and raped her three times. Miraculously, the occupiers did not touch their son – Olexiy. He hid in the boiler room and cried. But fortunately, he did not understand what the russian militaries were doing to his mother. Natalia managed to escape to Western Ukraine with her son and apply to the court.

 

Recently a story about victims in occupied Mariupol was revealed. The Russian occupiers raped a woman in front of her six-year-old son for several days in a row. She later died of her wounds. Her little son’s hair turned gray. This is not a horror movie. Rape, violence, murder – that’s what “Russian world” means, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry said. 

 

In telephone conversations with relatives, the Russian occupiers admit that they rape children and eat dogs in Ukraine. This is stated in the intercepted conversation of Russians, published by the Ukrainian Security Service on YouTube. In one conversation, the occupier admitted that “three tankers raped a 16-year-old girl”.

 

Of course, there are dozens more such cases. Due to the difficulties of communication and logistics in the besieged cities, many cases can not be qualified, in addition, the military often kills their victims after violating. “Law enforcement officers have data and open criminal proceedings over the rape of Ukrainian women by the Russian military in the occupied territories, but it is extremely difficult to gather evidence due to the inability to access the territories,” said Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova.

 

A message from Lviv City of Literature, a city of unbreakable poetry 

 

Pavlo Koriaga & Bogdana Brylynska from Lviv City of Literature office open an important page of Ukrainian culture and history. This is a message about the unbreakable Ukrainian poets. Among these authors are Taras Shevchenko, who said “Battle on – and Win Your Battle!”, Lesya Ukrainka, who wrote “I laughed, in order not to cry”,  Vasyl Stus, who knew “Human is a duty, not a title”. The Ukrainians remember the main messages of their poets. And that knowledge inspires us to win!  Here is a video in Ukrainian and English.

 

A little earlier, Hanna Khriakova and Mariana Zagoruiko form Lviv – UNESCO CIty of Literature spoke to the community of Nottingham with a statement about war time in Ukraine and Lviv as a part of event – reading of Anastasiia Kosodii “Time Traveler’s Guide to Donbass” play. “Today, here and now, we are creating a new history. The history of a strong country and nation, the history where life wins against death and light against darkness”.  Video is available here.

 

Culture from shelters and ruins

 

We start to get used to the state of permanent danger and trying to cope with the fact that in some regions of Ukraine people have to spend most of their time in shelters permanenty hearing how bombs are destroying their cities. What a damage that gives to people’s minds and psychics. So that, to avoid the feeling of fear and to somehow try to love the life still given to us, culture plays it’s main role to entertain and educate people, even those in shelters. 

 

Kharkiv – UNESCO City of Music and Freedom

It’s been less than a year since Kharkiv received the title of UNESCO City of Music. So far such a beautiful city, full of bright minds, is now experiencing its darkest times, but still continues to celebrate music, culture and life. 

 

“Concert between explosions”: Kharkiv Music Fest in Kharkiv Underground. 

Kharkiv Music Fest is one of the biggest classic music festivals in Ukraine. A lot of festival participants, as mostly those are women, had to leave the country, but organizers thought that today it’s extremely important to celebrate the eternal values, the beauty of our country and it’s future, despite the horror we are experiencing now. 

 

“That’s the symbol that when cannons are speaking, muses are not silent, despite the saying (Inter anna silent Musae), muses are speaking”, – says Serhii Politychiy, the director of Kharkiv Music Fest.

Cellos in bombed Kharkiv. A sound of fearlessness.

Cellist Denys Karachevtsev plays the violin in his destroyed city.  

“I love my heroic city which is now struggling to survive the war. I deeply believe that we can help. I believe we can restore and rebuild our city and our country when the war is over. I am launching my project in the streets of Kharkiv to raise funds for humanitarian aid for those who are injured now and restoration of the city’s architecture. Let’s unite to revive our city together!” – says Denys.

During the air alarm in Kharkiv violin was playing, covering the sound of bombs. Vira Lytovchenko created an improvised stage in one of the city’s shelters and plays violin when sirens start. She says that she’s not going to leave the city so that after the war she could help restore it. 

 

When life is hard it’s important to feel good sometimes. And humor helps us! We’ve created a number of different jokes, posters, songs and memes about war just because we are, in fact, funny people. 

Comics from the city of Sumy have organized standup session in one of the city’s shelters. As announced, they “gathered people to have a little fun and get led away from all that horror happening outside the window. 

 

“Humor is a way of sublimation, – says Felix Redka, one of the comics. – When you’re scared, you’re joking. There are three reactions to fear: beat, run or freeze. We came up with the fourth reaction – make fun of russians”

Ivano-Frankivsk drama theater on March 7th played “Eneida” right in time oа the air alarm in the shelter. Later the theater’s administration mentioned that those plays are going to be regular and published a schedule for the next month.  

 

In Kyiv underground Ukrainian films are shown. Those are the films of different genres and epoches – from All-Ukrainian photographic management to modern, which recently could be seen in the Ukrainian cinemas, such as “Best Weekend” or “Stars for Exchange”. The organizers created a selection designed for audiences of all ages: from children to the elderly.

And the most important – life continues in shelters. Since the war started, 15300 child were born, 987 in Kyiv. Source: https://cutt.ly/aDP0sIE

Every single life matters: saving animals in a wartime 

During the five weeks of war in Ukraine, many animals appeared to be in the very heart of a war zone, in the temporarily occupied territories: in shelters, zoos, train stations, streets, locked in apartments.

For many pets are considered to be true family members. Owners are trying their best to save their beloved animals: mostly cats and dogs.  Frightened animals hide with their owners in shelters, go on a long evacuation “journey” – by car, bus, train and even on foot. There is a well-known  story of a family from Kyiv and their German shepherd Kulia (“Bullet” in Ukrainian), who is 12.5 years old. Providing the evacuation to the Ukrainian-Polish border was quite difficult for both people and the dog: it was difficult for Kulia to walk, she was constantly falling, disabled to get up on her own. So the owner of Kulia carried her for 17 km to the border in his arms! Currently Kulia settled in Poland.

We also saw many photos of Irpin residents carrying their pet-friends in their arms during the evacuation. Many older people did not want to leave their pets. They save four-pawed animals – this is almost the only thing that people take with them into the uncertain future.

Probably everyone saw the story of Anastasia Tykha and Arthur Lee, who took 15 dogs out of war-torn city Irpin, including a disabled one, 5 cats, a chameleon, a turtle, a hamster and a spider. Before the war, couple used to pick up homeless dogs on the street, treat them, buy wheelchairs and look for families for them. When they evacuated, they took animals on the road, because, as Nastya says, “animals are like children to me – children can’t be left on their own”. Later the man and woman returned to Irpin for the lost dogs.

There were cases when the owners, fleeing from the dangers of war, left their pets in apartments. Zoopatrol volunteered to “liberate” the animal in Kyiv. That’s the volunteering organization formed in the very first days of war. After receiving messages from the owners and neighbors about the animal indoors, volunteers break down the door (then brew it back), take it away, feed, and find shelter. At the beginning, Zoopatrul received about 700 applications: many animals were rescued, but there were also deaths, such as a parrot that was left without water. Ukrainian rescuers and the military are also finding animals among the ruins of bombed-out buildings and pulling them out of the fires. They say, “every life is important”. Then the wounded animals are treated, apparently, they are scared of explosions, shelling.

 

A lot of large animal areas, which were attacked or temporarily blocked by Russian troops, found themselves in a difficult and dangerous situation. These are, for example, the Askania-Nova Biosphere Reserve (Kherson region), zoos and shelters in various cities, such as Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Mykolayiv. Animals are frightened, they lack food and water, they suffer from the cold (often no electricity, fuel for generators), and evacuating zoo residents, especially exotic ones (such as a giraffe or an elephant) in the current circumstances is quite difficult or unrealistic. Rescuing animals is often the work of dedicated zoo workers, locals and volunteers. Some animals were taken out. Good news about the evacuation of the beers from an animal shelter “Bila Skelia” in Kyiv region and about the evacuation of a kangaroo from the Kharkiv Ecopark recently appeared on the Internet. Eight kangaroos of different species were taken out – adults and cubs. Now the animals are safe, they are being cared for by volunteers and are being prepared for further transportation. Video. One of the forms of support of the Mykolaiv zoo available to everyone is buying the entrance ticket. This zoo, established in 1901, has survived both World wars and has never stopped its work. And this time it will work for the benefit of animals as well, workers say. 

 

Also animals can help other animals! This way, Ukrainian blogger-cat Stepan @loveyoustepan (1,2 million subscribers) from Kharkiv gathered $10 035 for supporting Ukrainian zoos and zoo organizations. Stepan is evacuated and currently lives in France. There are even more organizations for helping animals in Ukraine: Ukrainian Rescue Appeal, Happy Paw, and also UAnimalshumanistic movement for animal rights, which raises funds for point assistance to shelters and rehabilitation centers, purchases food and medicine, organizes the evacuation of animals, etc. (donate here).

Being together

Coexisting: Lviv Cultural Institutions working in a Wartime

The Cultural Strategy Institute looks at the work of cultural institutions at a time that no one could have imagined — in the wartime. We arranged interviews with a number of Lviv cultural institutions — theaters, libraries, cultural and art centers — to ask about their current activities, the areas into which they channel their efforts, and the change in the working format. This article gives an understanding of many processes and strong changes in cultural spheres, even in a more or less safe city like Lviv, which is the most western Ukrainian city and now remains the largest humanitarian aid center and refugee shelter. Nevertheless, on Saturday, March 26, five missile strikes were carried out on Lviv by the Russian military.

A large number of institutions have sheltered internally displaced persons, provided work with children and humanitarian aid and set up educational and study activities. Several theaters have organized their shelters right inside their premises. Mattresses and beds on the stage of the theater are a fabulous spectacle, and the support and care of the staff is even more impressive. Some institutions are sewing thermal underwear and balaclavas for the military and some local libraries gathered over 1000 volunteers to weave the camouflage nets. Each and every institution works on war needs. 

Certainly, assisting Ukrainian refugees has been and will be relevant for a long time to come, but we should also provide financial support to the artistic environment inside the country. Having selected foreign programs, the Cultural Strategy Institute focused on bringing those initiatives available in Ukraine to the attention of the Ukrainian artists, professionals and cultural activists who have lost their jobs and sources of  income. Under the slogan «For those who stay» the publications are available on the CSI Facebook page. Some museums have organized fundraising programs for colleagues from more dangerous regions of Ukraine. Olha Honchar, the Director of the «Territory of Terror» Totalitarian Regime Museum, has told us how caring for her curators has grown into a definite tool for financial support of the country’s museum environment:

— We keep in constant touch  with our fellow curators from the eastern, southern, and central parts of the country. We’ve held the monitoring of each other’s needs and realized that in many regions people did not receive their salaries. Consequently, when the bombing started, it turned out that the stsff didn’t even have money to cover basic needs, let alone something more […] I wrote a post on Facebook asking if there were any foundations willing to support the remaining initiatives in Ukraine. Then my friends and I decided to set up such a foundation of our own, and here it is — from March 3rd till  the present day it grew into the Museum Crisis Center.

In the first two weeks (starting from March 3rd), the Museum Crisis Center raised UAH 312,825, which enabled it to provide financial aid to 137 cultural workers of 30 museums from 8 regions of Ukraine (as of March 11th)

Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, 250 people have been sheltered on the premises of The Center for Urban History of East Central Europe, Jam Factory Art Center and Rondo Cafe Lviv (as of 21.03). The incomers are from Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Kharkiv, Bucha, Irpin, Gostomel, Lysychansk, Lubatyn, Vyshneve, Zhytomyr, from Canada, Syria, Nigeria, Ireland, Poland, and the United Kingdom. Jam Factory Art Center has equipped its main buildings with a storage facility and a humanitarian assistance distribution center. The Cultural Strategy Institute has also transformed its offices for humanitarian needs, and some CSI educational managers are working with the orphans from Kharkiv.

War is on our calendar

A month since Russia attacked Ukraine. Human psychology works in a way that we’re getting used to, adapting to the situation, whatever it may be, protective mechanisms are activating. The case of the first civilian deaths, pictures of the first civilian house shelling and destruction by Russian were a shock to all of us. Then the avalanche of new and terrible reality only grew.

 

There are hundreds of civilians killed in Ukraine. In Ukraine, there are cases of executions, kidnappings, rapes, threats, looting by the Russian military, as well as the deportation of Ukrainian citizens to Russia. In some cities it is impossible to bury the dead because of ongoing shelling; someone buries their relatives in the backyards, in parks… More than 3 million refugees and millions of displaced people inside Ukraine – these people have had to leave their homes, they are homeless in fact. More than half of Ukrainian children do not live at home. Thousands of Ukrainian children live in shelters and basements. 135 children died, about two hundred were injured and maimed, and some children witnessed their parents die from injuries or fires. We already know what a humanitarian catastrophe is, when the attackers don’t allow people to leave the city, when they shoot evacuation corridors, when they don’t allow food and medicine to be brought to the occupied cities. Mariupol, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Irpin and many other Ukrainian cities and villages are now a great pain for Ukraine, as well as for all humankind and the modern world. We also now know what nuclear terrorism is. Dozens of hospitals, schools, cultural institutions, sacred buildings, historic buildings, memorials, cemeteries and hundreds of residential buildings in various cities of Ukraine were destroyed or damaged – apocalyptic pictures, like in the movies, although Ukrainians have not watched movies for a long time… There are cases where the seizure and destruction of Ukrainian books by Russian side was recorded in Luhansk and Chernihiv regions. Yes, we are still in Europe and this is the XXI century!..

 

At the same time, over the last month, we have seen very closely and clearly what heroism truly is. Mariupol, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Irpin, as well as Kherson, Kyiv, Enerhodar, Nova Kakhovka, Novotroitske and many other Ukrainian cities and villages are also great pride of Ukraine. It is the personification of resistance and protection of truth, justice and freedom – despite everything. Over the last month, we have realized what an irresistible force the unity of citizens is, what it is like to share your time, home, resources – for a common victory. And we also know how important the support of Ukraine and Ukrainian people in the world is!

“From Lviv to the Urals” – protest of Ukrainian artistic community 

 

In Nantes, France, russian cinema festival “Univerciné russe” is going to happen. The motto of the festival is “From Lviv to Ural”, says Iryna Tsilyk, ukrainian film-maker and writer on her Facebook. 

Besides, Ukrainian Movie Academy prepared official statement with the appeal to reconsider the vector of the event, to change the name “From Lviv to the Urals”, “as such positioning levels the borders of sovereign Ukraine, is incorrect and does not correspond to geographical and historical reality”, and to stop cooperation with Russian cinema. 

 

“We ask the whole world to border Ukrainian and russian cultures and not to equal them. Especially now, as Russia is waging war on Ukrainian territory and destroying lifes of Ukrainians, their houses and cultural heritage. 

[…]

According to what previously said, we ask You to reconsider the vector of the Univerciné de Nantes festival. We support Your initiative to demonstrate Ukrainian movies on festival, but we propose to fulfill all program with the movies produced in Ukraine or about Ukraine, separating our culture from russian cinema, that continues to sponsor teroristic regime of Vladimir Putin. 

 

Also we urge You to change the name “From Lviv to Urals” as this positioning levels the borders of sovereign Ukraine, is incorrect and doesn’t answer neither geographical nor historical reality. Ukrainian and Russian cities categorically can’t be used in a single title.

 

And, what is the most important – we ask You to refuse cooperation with Russian cinema, as leading European film academies and organizations have done and continue to do. At least as long as Russia’s war against Ukraine continues and as long as Russia does not pay all reparations for the damage done to Ukraine. Now the aggressor must find himself in complete economic and cultural isolation. Only by joint efforts will we be able to stop it, and thus protect not only Ukraine but also Europe and the world” (From the statement).

“Cancel Russian culture as a tool of self-preservation”

Over the past four weeks, many cultural institutions and cultural actors around the world have expressed and continue to express their support for Ukraine and Ukrainian people in the war that the Russian Federation has started on Ukrainian territory. During this time, which has changed the world of every Ukrainian, Ukraine has called on the international community to impose sanctions on Russia not only in the economic, political, diplomatic spheres, but also in a cultural field. Many well-known institutions in different countries have stopped cooperating with Russian artists who have not condemned Putin’s aggression against Ukraine, refused to participate in Russian film festivals and book fairs, will not renew contracts for Russian translation, and world brands in culture and creative industries entertainment comes from Russian.

Why is Ukraine and the Ukrainian cultural community calling for a boycott of Russian culture? Why is Russia’s war against Ukraine neo-colonial? Why is the dialogue of Ukrainian intellectuals with Russians not possible now? Volodymyr Sheiko, Director General at the Ukrainian Institute in his article “Cancel Russian culture as a tool of self-preservation” wrotes: 

“…Ukraine’s arguments are irrefutable: Russia has waged an unjustified war against a sovereign state, it grossly violates international law, cynically kills thousands of innocent people, and deliberately destroys the architectural heritage of Ukrainian cities. Under such conditions, any cultural cooperation with the aggressor makes its crimes a norm and creates for Russia new platforms for self-presentation. In its appeals, the Ukrainian Institute emphasizes that for decades Russia has used culture as a tool for political propaganda, whitewashing its international reputation, distracting the world community from war crimes against other countries, and establishing imperial and colonial hierarchies in the world humanities.

 

…The metaphor of “great humanistic Russian culture” finally ended on 24 February 2022, when the first bombs fell on Ukrainian cities. However, sentiment towards Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Shostakovich or the so-called “Russian avant-garde” still is flourishing in the minds of millions of foreigners who still believe that culture can be separated from politics and the responsibility for the war can be placed on a single dictator.

Volodymyr Sheiko, Director General at the Ukrainian Institute / Photo: Конгрес Культури / Culture Congress, Lviv 2021

…the international community must finally understand that Russia’s war against Ukraine is neo-colonial, and Ukraine’s centuries-long struggle for independence is decolonization; and these existential tasks will always be mutually exclusive. Ukraine is fighting for its independence not only with weapons; therefore the cultural frontline is no less important than the military one.

 

…The starting point of any reconciliation with Russia is far in the future: when Russia completely leaves the territory of Ukraine, including Crimea and Donbas; is held accountable for war crimes at an international tribunal and pay reparations to Ukraine; when the Putin regime falls and the next democratically elected government, the remnants of civil society and the media unanimously acknowledge and apologize to Ukraine for all its crimes; when Russian society is able to critically consider its defeat and draw conclusions from it.

 

…Of course, this scenario sounds too fantastic, but it does not mean that Ukraine has to agree to compromises today. Any accelerated or premature reconciliation with Russia is extremely dangerous. It will be a new era of recolonization of Ukraine, where the discourse will be the same, following the old rules and using the old structures.”
