  • 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.

  • B081 Ukraine
    Ukraine: The Line Crisis Group Europe Briefing N°81 Kyiv/Brussels, 18 July 2016 I. Overview The 500km line of separation between Russian-supported separatist districts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts and the rest of Ukraine is not fit for purpose. The cease- fire negotiated at the February 2015 Minsk talks is being violated daily and heavily. Tens of thousands of well-armed troops confront each other in densely populated civilian areas. The sides are so close that even light infantry weapons can cause sub- stantial damage, let alone the heavy weapons they regularly use. This presents major risks to civilians who still live there – about 100,000 on the Ukrainian side alone, according to an unofficial estimate – often next door to troops who have taken over unoccupied houses. It also heightens the risk of an escalation. Kyiv, Moscow and the separatists all bear responsibility for the security and well-being of civilians living along the front line. Likewise, Kyiv’s European allies, Washington and Moscow all have crucial roles to play in addressing the overall situation. They should insist that both sides with- draw their heavy weapons, as Minsk requires, from the front line to storage areas monitored by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). They should also press their respective allies – the Ukrainian government on one side, and the self-proclaimed People’s Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk (DNR and LNR) on the other – to separate troops from civilians and to substantially widen the line of separation. Russia’s role in this is vital.
