    Transformations of the Cultural Landscape of Donbas During the Armed Conflict 2015–2017

    Studia z Geografii Politycznej i Historycznej tom 6 (2017), s. 305–326 http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/2300-0562.06.13 Roman Slyvka, Liubov Slyvka, Yaroslava Atamaniuk Transformations of the cultural landscape of Donbas during the armed conflict 2015–2017 The main objective of the article – to show the different trajectories of the cultural land- scape in controlled and uncontrolled parts of the war-torn Donbas. The cultural landscape of Ukraine significantly changed during the twentieth century. The main factors of these transformations were ideological, military and geopolitical. The sub-ordinate position of Ukraine within the USSR allowed communist leaders to enforce sovietisation of the cultural landscape. This policy was especially noticeable in the great industrial region of Donbas. Achievements of independence by Ukraine and democratization of country' public life have led to transformation/conservation of the cultural landscape, which corresponded with political culture of individual regions. The war in the Donbas has become a catalyst for the processes of creating different types of cultural landscape on the different sides of the contact line. The policy of creating a cultural landscape has become an instrument of political socialization and mobilization of the population. This process is not complete, and can contribute to the crystallization of new subregional identities on different parts of contemporary Donbas. Keywords: Donbas, cultural landscape, post-soviet city, military conflict, decomunisa- tion, renaming, monument, policy of memory. 1. Introduction The conflict in Donbas deepened those political divisions that began to be observed in Ukrainian society since the 1990s. There are a number of visible elements of Donbas' cultural landscape, which indicates the drastic changes.

T +1 202 558 6958 E [email protected] civiliansinconflict.org ORGANIZATIONAL MISSION AND VISION Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC) is an international organization dedicated to promoting the protection of civilians in conflict. CIVIC envisions a world in which no civilian is harmed in conflict. Our mission is to support communities affected by conflict in their quest for protection and strengthen the resolve and capacity of armed actors to prevent and respond to civilian harm. CIVIC was established in 2003 by Marla Ruzicka, a young humanitarian who advocated on behalf of civilians affected by the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Honoring Marla’s legacy, CIVIC has kept an unflinching focus on the protection of civilians in conflict. Today, CIVIC has a presence in conflict zones and key capitals throughout the world where it collaborates with civilians to bring their protection concerns directly to those in power, engages with armed actors to reduce the harm they cause to civilian populations, and advises governments and multinational bodies on how to make life-saving and lasting policy changes. CIVIC’s strength is its proven approach and record of improving protection outcomes for civilians by working directly with conflict-affected communities and armed actors. At CIVIC, we believe civilians are not “collateral damage” and civilian harm is not an unavoidable consequence of conflict—civilian harm can and must be prevented.

    A Rapid WASH and Infrastructure Assessment in Non-Government Controlled Areas of Eastern Ukraine

    ` A Rapid WASH and Infrastructure Assessment in Non-Government Controlled Areas of Eastern Ukraine August, 2015 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This assessment was commissioned by UNICEF, with data collected remotely by REACH in July 2015 from key informants at water, health, and education facilities as well as from affected communities. Thanks go to all those individuals and organisations who contributed towards this assessment, including the Global WASH Cluster who contributed to the final analysis and drafting. REACH is a joint initiative of IMPACT, its sister organisation ACTED, and the United Nations Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT). REACH facilitates the development of information tools and products that enhance the capacity of aid actors to make evidence-based decisions. For more information, write to [email protected], visit www.reach-intiative.org and follow us @REACH_info. Cover photo: Delivery of drinking water to Debaltseve, Donetsk Oblast, March 2015, ©UNICEF i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Conflict has been ongoing in Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts since May 2014, with spikes of violence in June 2014 and again in January-February and in July 2015. Attempts to negotiate a political solution to the conflict led to the ‘Minsk’ ceasefire signed between the Governments of Ukraine, Russian Federation and the non-state actors in September 2014. However, the truce collapsed within days, similar to a new ceasefire agreement signed in February 2015. Relative calm around the Contact Line (CL) has ensued since September 2015, however, the situation remains fragile given lack of trust between the parties to the conflict. From the end of 2014, Ukrainian legislation has restricted freedom of moment of both people and goods, in addition to the cessation of salary and pension payments in the non-governmental controlled areas (NGCAs), increasing hardship for local populations.
