Can a building speak Ukrainian? Poltava’s Zemstvo (1903–1908), designed by Vasyl Krychevskyi, brings folk art into architecture. It’s a must-know for students of SL9: Introduction to the Language and Literature of Ukraine.

Russia’s war against Ukraine is not about territory. It is a war against Ukrainian culture, memory and identity.
Today, a Russian drone struck the Presidium of Ukraine’s National Academy of Sciences in Kyiv - the heart of Ukrainian scholarship, knowledge and intellectual life.

On 1 September, Baidus turned six months old. Cake and candle were provided. But as official mascot of Cambridge Ukrainian Studies—and namesake of Dmytro “Baida” Vyshnevetskyi—he was under some obligation to make a historically consequential wish. Find out what he wished for?

[Cambridge Ukrainian Studies @CamUkrainistyka]

We invite you to meet Baidus’: the new mascot of Cambridge Ukrainian Studies, named after Dmytro 'Baida' Vyshnevetskyi, one of the most colourful figures of sixteenth-century Ukrainian history.

HOW ARE NATIONS MADE?
Who decides where one culture ends and another begins? What happens when different peoples claim the same histories, territories — even the same past?
SL3 — The Making of Ukraine: History and Culture of Early Modernity explores these questions.

On Ukraine’s 35th Independence Day, Prime Minister Andy Burnham has travelled to Kyiv on his first foreign visit since taking office, reaffirming the United Kingdom’s support for Ukraine.
З Днем Незалежності, Україно!

One of the more intriguing (and heartening) consequences of Ukraine’s four-year struggle against Vladimir Putin’s despotism has been the perception of what women are capable of.

Exactly.
It's a zero-sum game: either we win or we lose. There's neither half-victory nor half-defeat.
Any kind of compromise would herald a broader and more destructive war that would engulf the whole Europe.
To be risk averse now would make more certain a bigger risk tomorrow.

[Nicolas Tenzer @NTenzer]

Some say, “This is terrible: now russia is murdering civilians in broad daylight!”
As if russia’s war of extermination against the Ukrainians hadn’t begun on the very first day!
The genocidal intent has always been there—and we’ve done nothing about it.
