In the first series, dedicated to the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism in World War II, we talk about the difference between the Western worldview concept of "never again" and the Russian "maybe repeat it." How did we perceive the date of May 9 before, how was Ukraine able to free itself from the cult of "victory obsession" imposed by Russia, and why is this imperial history? Invited guests of the episode: Oleksiy Kovzhun, media expert, host of the YouTube channel "Grunt" @grntmedia Vladlen Marayev, historian, co-author of the YouTube channel "History Without Myths" @IstoriyaBezMifiv Anton Drobovych, head of the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance Alice Change, musical performer. 00:00 Start 00:44 How May 9 was celebrated in Ukraine in the nineties and zero 02:27 About "songs of the war years" 04:20 Alice Change about changes in worldview and attitude to May 9 06:55 Where did the cult of "victory obsession" come from 09:24 Decommunization in Ukraine and how the USSR distorted the facts about World War II 12:43 How Victory Day was canceled in Ukraine on May 9 13:18 The Russian concept of celebrating May 9 and "we can repeat it" 17:44 About the Western worldview concept of "never again" and the symbol of the poppy flower 20:22 How Ukrainians' attitude to May 9 has changed Host: Olesya Kotubey-Herutska Camera: Nadya Mykolaenko, Oleksiy Matskevich Editing: Maria Dergachova Editors: Anna Pogrebna, Oleksiy Matskevich Graphics: Nika Nazarenko #socialculture #decolonization #9May #8May #victoryday “Farewell, Empire!” is a project about the search for identity, farewell to habit and sentimentality towards everything Russian. The blog will have 10 series on separate topics, in which we, together with invited guests, will explore various aspects of personal decolonization. Someone experienced such a transformation a long time ago, for someone this path began after February 24, 2022, but this is definitely common to many Ukrainians. This process is often not easy, but I want to talk not so much about the pain, but about the joy of liberation and finding the real you.
