Living together

Is a Georgian Ukrainian something strange? Or a Korean? Katarzyna Kotyńska and Joanna Majewska talk about the multiculturalism of Ukrainian society, where national identity is a matter of choice, not ethnic origin.

In the Broad Steppe

Katarzyna Kotyńska and Tomasz Hodana discuss where Ukraine is located, whether Ukraine is a steppe, and where its name comes from. The audience learn the basics of Ukrainian geography and discover the enormous diversity of individual regions. An important element of the conversation is the Cossack myth, which Kotyńska and Hodana relate to contemporary events, such as Maidan.

Ruthenia, Cossacks, Independence

For many countries, Ukraine is the state that has existed for the last 30 years. But what is it for Ukrainians? Why is it that the official messages about Ukrainian statehood are dominated by St Vladimir, while pop culture is populated by Cossacks?

Vyshyvanka and The Peasant Genes

Folk roots are the most common element of Ukrainian consciousness and many modern Ukrainians are deeply attached to folk traditions, texts, rituals and patterns. Katarzyna Kotyńska refers to the trauma of Holodomor, or the Great Famine, as well as to the 1990s, when the economic crisis awakened the "rural genes" of Ukrainians.

A Language under the Jackboot of an Empire

A conversation between Katarzyna Kotyńska and Joanna Majewska about the modern Ukrainian language and its roots. Is Ukraine a Bilingual or Multilingual Country? What is the political and social significance of what language Ukrainians speak? To what extent is the Russian language present in the public sphere and what is Surzhyk, the bane to translators?

The Spirits of Galicia

Katarzyna Kotyńska and Joanna Majewska discuss the impact of the former Austrian rule on the Ukrainians' sense of empowerment and subjectivity. Today's Ukrainians are sentimental about this period as it was then that they earned their rights for the first time in modern history. The strength of these feelings can be seen in literature and culture.

Kharkiv, Constructivism and the Soviet Legacy

Katarzyna Kotyńska and Joanna Majewska discuss the Soviet roots of Kharkiv's spatial and urban planning, its cultural traditions. They also talk about the traces of the "executed revival"—a group of writers and architects active in the 1920s, the majority of whom were murdered by the NKVD.

Tartars: Ones of Us, Though Different

An episode about "the Others", or ethnic and national minorities in Ukraine. Joanna Majewska and Tomasz Hodana discuss the presence of the Tartars in the Ukrainian public sphere, as well as how their participation in the Revolution of Dignity and the annexation of Crimea changed it.

A Stroller's Guide to Kyiv

A discussion of Kyiv as the "mother of all Ruthenian strongholds" and the capital of independent Ukraine. Joanna Majewska and Tomasz Hodana talk about the different faces of Kyiv and how they have changed over the centuries.

The Cossack Baroque

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.
