In the second series of "Farewell, Empire!" we talk about Russified childhood, the search for Ukrainian identity, and personal decolonization. Who did Ukrainian children who grew up in the Russified environment of the nineties and zero consider themselves? With the transition to the Ukrainian language, do we feel a loss of ourselves or a rediscovery of our true selves? And why is the transformation of a worldview sometimes very painful?

The blog will have 10 series on separate topics, in which we, together with invited guests, will explore various aspects of personal decolonization. Some have been going through such a transformation for a long time, for some this path began after February 24, 2022, but this is definitely common to many Ukrainians. This process is often difficult, but I want to talk not so much about pain as about the joy of liberation and finding the real you.
