#BannedBooksWeek stands for the freedom to read. For Ukrainians, censorship ("цензура") has spanned centuries—from imperial bans to Stalin’s terror, and today russia continues the pattern by burning libraries, banning Ukrainian books, and branding authors “extremists.”

Valerian #Pidmohylnyi's The City is a landmark of #Ukrainianliterature — blending French modernism, Freudian insight, and existential tension. Set in Kyiv, the novel reflects the literary life of the 1920s and reminds us why Ukrainian culture stands the test of time. @harvard.edu
