It is an attempt to portray the current situation with reference to the European context and the internal conditioning in Ukraine. The report attempts at the diagnosis within such areas of interest as: the publishing market, literature, theater, cinema, musical stage, art as such, cultural infrastructure, the media, civil society, human rights, education, or the legal environment in which NGOs operate. A Report on the Condition of Culture and NGOs in Ukraine constitutes a specific and sometimes personal guide to the cultural sector and NGOs, consisting of articles, studies, report summaries, as well as interviews of outstanding experts and practitioners in these fields. The authors are predominantly Ukrainian. They have attempted to answer three questions: what is the situation?, what do we expect from each other?, how can we achieve it? IN UKRAINE 7 We wanted the attempt to answer these questions in an approachable, understandable, and frequently direct manner to bring closer the still frequently incomprehensible and rejected Ukrainian narration. The current narration, which lately seems to be evading even what is qualified as “fashion.” Paweł Laufer Formulating questions and ordering the received responses, we, the editors of A Report, would like to receive not merely an ordinary collection of texts, informa- tive and analytical to some degree, but also demonstrate their mutual synergy. This would result in creating a view on contemporary Ukraine as a country of a rich, diversified, and prospective culture, with a young and dynamic civil society which cultivates and supports this culture in spite of the general dysfunctionality of the unreformed post-communist state. Ukraine must deal simultaneously with two extremely difficult legacies: totali- tarian and colonial. They reveal themselves in the ineffectiveness of old institutions, the conservatism and corruption of comprador elites, the noticeable influence, or even domination of the colonial and neocolonial discourses, the authoritarian- paternalistic mentality of a significant part of the society, as well as its profound structural deformations. Not only does Ukrainian culture oppose these legacies, but it also comes up with a clear alternative – European, modern, multiethnic, and multilingual, derived from the tradition of national spiritual resistance and inspired by global search for novelty and freedom. The multitude of styles and genres – doesn’t it sound like its greatest achievement in the last twenty years? Mykola Riabchuk A Report does not include everything as planned. What remains to be expected is that the recognition of unquestionable thematic gaps in this publication will turn into a strong incentive to fill them – though in a different time and by dif- ferent means. I sincerely believe that this report accomplishes its mission, giving voice to the authors – acute observers of today’s Ukrainian reality and, in most cases, also the insiders of cultural circles and NGOs, authors and activists, active participants and, in a way, the architects of the described processes and events. Disregarding its low level of “academism” and high intelligibility, I hope it does not border on populism. It shows an objective, divergent view on the specificity and paradoxes 8 PAWEł LAUFER / MYKOLA RIABCHUK / ANDRIY SAVENETS of contemporary Ukraine. It is a portrayal of generations and environments which are and will be creating future Ukraine

  • A President's Portrait in Domestic Protest
    A President’s Portrait in Domestic Protest: 133 The Anatomy of Hate A President’s Portrait in Domestic Protest: The Anatomy of Hate Natalia Lysiuk Taras Shevchenko National University of Kiev Kiev, Ukraine Abstract The extreme level of tension during the Euromaidan in Ukraine has caused a real explosion of urban post-folklore creativity. These folklore forms have many distinctive features of traditional folklore, but they are also characterized by their means of transmission. For instance, anonymous inscriptions could appear anywhere. Such texts have their own dramaturgy, and they recreate the development of the Euromaidan events (from simple appeals to give people an opportunity to determine their own destiny to openly hostile discourse that portrayed the former President of Ukraine, Victor Yanukovich, as the main enemy of the Euromaidan). Among those attested: distortions of Yanukovich’s name; demonstration of contempt for his image; insults; mention of his criminal past and ongoing corruption; and prophecies of his fate. One of the defining features of such texts is the violation of prohibitions on the use of dysphemisms and vulgarity as a verbal weapon against an enemy. We will also discuss the basic functions of protest folklore and hate speech. Crowds on the Maidan (author’s photo) The Euromaidan was the second Ukrainian revolution of this century. It was a public protest that took place in the main Kiev’s square Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Maidan) from November 2013 until February 2014. It was characterized by an unprecedented rise of patriotism and strengthening of national identity (as reflected in the wide usage of national colors, symbols, and images).
