Here's an excellent essay in The Guardian, about the importance of Ukraine's libraries. "Ukrainian culture in the future will be inherently anti-Russian. "We must forget there is such a country," Bruy says. Cat Buchatskiy points out the brutal irony of the moment: the war against Ukrainian identity has forced Ukrainians deeper into their identity. "We would never have come to this place if we did not have a gun to our head," she says. "It has taken a war to bring all these people together." No one has done more for the development of Ukrainian culture than Vladimir Putin. He has proven, more than any other figure, that Ukrainian culture is distinct and vital." It's worth reading the complete essay, click the link.
