This group is current mainly focused on raising awareness and calls to action for helping Ukraine in its war against Russia's colonialist aggression. To this end we also encourage as secondary focus:
- Sharing Ukrainian Culture
- Exposing Russian Compromised Companies/Media/Politicians and Narratives
- Exposing the history of Russian Imperialism, under the current regime, under the USSR and under the Tsars.
- Raising awareness of other countries suffering from Russia's Colonialist Agression (Chechnya, Syria, Georgia, Belarus, etc).

MODERATORS
Glad you enjoyed it! They have a bunch of other videos on the channel that sound interesting, just not had the time to watch any of them.
@picard just so you know, I am able to access the link. First clicking on the post takes me to a lemmy post that I could not comment on as remarked on previously but I could access the video by clicking on the link in the post.
I however am not able to process video/audio so I did not listen to it and cannot comment on the content
@[email protected] Thanks for sharing! I will have to have a listen sometime. I love Olia and her 'Summer kitchens'. It's a really beautiful cookbook and recipes are yum! I'm looking forward to checking this out.
@dana @[email protected] Sorry, it did not boost your reply to me.
I agree - Summer Kitchens is excellent. I really want to try to write a review some time. It was quite a revelation to me, Ukrainian cuisine - like, it really should be considered one of the top world cuisines. And the fact that not only is it not - but that almost nobody would even think there is such a thing in the first place - probably says quite a lot about the colonial silencing of the Ukrainian culture.
@dana @[email protected] I read elsewhere (like this article in the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/oct/28/chef-ievgen-klopotenko-putting-ukrainian-cuisine-back-on-the-map) how even Ukrainians tended to lose memory of their own culinary heritage during Soviet times, and there’s a big movement by people like Ievgen Klopotenko (https://klopotenko.com/en) to reintroduce stuff that was lost back into their culture (he also has a book coming out in English later this year which I’m really looking forward to!).
