Ukrainian language and culture has been BANNED from everything by russia CENTURIES AGO. Ukrainian artists and writers have been KILLED AND OPPRESSED AND BANNED from writing literature in Ukrainian. we are literally being KILLED just because we are Ukrainian. what the fuck do you mean by white privilege.

traditional cross-dressing on ukrainian malanka holiday. the woman is dressed as vasyl (folk adaptation of st. basil) and the man is dressed as malanka (folk adaptation of st. melania).

during this holiday, ukrainians honor the ancestral spirits and imitate them by dressing as animals and opposite genders, since it is believed that the otherworld blurs the line between male and female, as well as between man and beast.

True russian culture is about deliberately destroying and stealing the cultures of the nations they despise and view as lower than theirs.

People be like "Russia is not imperialistic"🤡 - and then the most famous Ukrainian chef cannot open a restaurant of the most famous Ukrainian cultural food in Japan, because Japanese widely consider borscht a Russian dish and so would avoid the restaurant thinking it to be Russian🫤🫤🫤🤯🤯🤯

#ukraine #japan #ukrainian culture #borscht #russian imperialism #russian invasion #ruscism #genocide #like.... thank you to Japanese for avoiding all Russian products #and for supporting Ukraine #this is not your fault #its fucking Russia's and its imperialism #moreover #the far East of Russia is where Russian regime forcefully displaced many Ukrainians #during Soviet times #so I am almost sure Japan actually learnt borsch from Ukrainians #they just belived it to be Russian cause it was coming from Russian territory near them🫤 #culture appropriation #україна #укртумбочка #укртумба #укртамблер

The beauty of this modern traditional ukrainian kersetka 💙 I've been wanting one for years, but the vintage ones are too fragile for daily wear. Finally got my hands on a handmade one by the traditional line of the Gibson Girl Dress ukrainian brand. It's made of wool and it's SO warm !

rusalki are not mermaids. stop translating the word "rusalka" as "mermaid" and stop calling rusalki "slavic mermaids". it's confusing, it's misleading, and it's simply isn't true. the association of rusalka with a western mermaid and undine began in 19th century, when russian empire poets wanted to adapt a popular western motif of a sorrowful water maid that is unrequitedly in love with a mortal man. this literature character of rusalka has nothing to do with actual rusalki folklore and cult.

rusalki are natural undead spirits that are connected to slavic ancestral worship. they don't have tails. they are not in any way connected to the sea: only lakes, ponds, and rivers. often, they're not even connected to water at all: there are forest rusalki, field rusalki, meadow rusalki, etc. they are in close relationships with their human kin: during the spring and summer, they are used in agricultural rites and are believed to help with farming and raising crops. rusalki were sacred to slavic people. the "week of the rusalki" festival, when rusalki are believed to walk on earth and visit their relatives, is celebrated to this day. to call them "slavic mermaids" is very diminutive of their actual role in slavic cultures.
