Ukraine - Cultural policy in Ukraine has returned to the Russian-Soviet framework.

Erasing Ukraine’s Memories

From The Ukrainian Week

by Inna Zavhorodnya and Vladyslav Hrynevych

From the beginning of its rule, the current government laid the foundation for the concept of its cultural policy by criticizing “Orange nationalism,” but that was clearly not enough to make the construction stable. Consequently, these modern ideologues were forced to pull out one brick after another mostly from the established myths of the past. Now they are clumsily but intensively putting together a cultural Frankenstein from the fragments of Soviet ideology, some idea about the “Russian World,” and a grotesque vision of Ukraine. The impression is that our identity is being targeted, because most of the damage is being done to such cultural domains as the language, history, the commemoration and memorialization policy, education, etc.
