This New Year and Christmas many houses will play “Carol of the Bells”, a famous Ukrainian composition, not knowing of a beatiful origin of the music from land of Ukraine.
The song was popularized abroad by Ukrainian Republican Capella, organized by Ukrainian People’s Republic in 1919.

Liberal Currents is one of my favorite US journals — I read it regularly. If you are from US, support it.
In addition to writing quite a few pieces for LC and edited several, there are a couple pieces I was involved with by recruiting the author because I felt they had something interesting to say and LC was a good platform for them - a few examples of the voices we try to highlight follow

Die Ukraine steht immens unter Druck. Solidarität ist nötig. Hier ein Beitrag von meinem Freind @vlstarodubtsev.bsky.social über die Revolution 1917 und die erste Republik in der Ukraine.
Am 20. November 1917 wurde die Ukrainische Volksrepublik gegründet. Damals wie heute kämpfte sie ums Überleben. Wir verlinken hier nochmal den Beitrag von @vlstarodubtsev.bsky.social über diese sozialistisch-demokratische Revolution.

What could be better and stronger symbol rather than the flag of free nation waving, during biggest victories and greatest tragedies? It always makes emotional to see how people value freedom and their collective rights, and how people are ready to fight for it.
