On the eve of 2026, reflections within #Western #society were increasingly shaped by the word emergence. The thought of the #GlobalSouth, by contrast, was occupied by the idea of manifestation.

When activists begin conversations about statehood, heroism, and war, they rarely address in their reasoning the place of the ordinary human being.

The practical danger is that such #Ukrainian #songs distort the #motivation for struggle. They cultivate death in war, not in the positive sense of “death for the homeland” or “sacrifice for love,” but in a purely negative sense — “against the enemy.”

And when the time comes for #referendums or #sociological surveys, a person forms their position based on propaganda delivered through songs. But the point is that the heroism of songs is a #myth, while the person remains detached from real politics.

Instead of preserving a shared heritage, Putin’s war accelerated the process of Ukrainian nation-building and deepened the distancing from the post-Soviet cultural sphere dominated by Russia.

The question of culture’s role in the vital rituals of wartime recedes into the shadow of an all-consuming conflict. What role does the Ukrainian song occupy today — at the tip of the bayonet, or sustaining life in the rear?

In article challenges the claim that Vladimir #Putin represents true #conservatism. Drawing on Roger Scruton’s ideas, the author argues that Putin has not preserved cultural inheritance or national integrity but instead destroyed them,most visibly through the #Ukraine war.

Not Against Ukraine, but “For the Freedom of Culture”
Can we imagine a prosperous country without traditions? I think the answer becomes clear if we look at poor countries without democracy — for they lack the very tradition of democracy. Without respect for human rights — for generations they never knew what a human person is outside of religion. Their people will not have respect for elders, acknowledging only strength and energy, which, no doubt, are capable of change. But in what direction will these ideas of change flow, and what kind of state will they build? Will their ideals be great enough to comprehend the meaning of freedom and equality of people on earth?
