The Cossack Baroque

To Ukraine in 20 minutes#9
An episode about the religious situation in Ukraine and its origins. Katarzyna Kotyńska and Tomasz Hodana explain that Ukraine's multiculturality is evident in its religion, among other things, as Orthodox, Greek Catholic, Muslim, and Jewish influences mingle and mix there. They discuss the historical phenomenon of the Kyivan Orthodox Church being relatively open to other religions. This episode also touches upon the Ukrainian Baroque dominated by the Polish language.

The starting point for the conversation is the Pokrov icon.
