Do you remember how we celebrated the New Year first in Moscow at 11:00 PM, and then in Kyiv? Why, when everyone gathered at the festive table on December 31, Russian-Ukrainian musicals were shown on television, where Ukrainians were portrayed as mischievous and funny characters in embroidered shirts and wide red pants. Well, where would we be without classic Soviet films?! In the final episode of the season “Farewell, Empire!” Olesya Kotubey-Herutska talks about the traditions of celebrating the New Year that Russia imposed on Ukraine. Let's remember the poisoned nostalgia of television, as well as how we were able to break away from it and what can our, Ukrainian New Year be like?
