The country is gradually developing the capacity of its state institutions and civil society to address the political and social consequences of Russian aggression. • Russia’s three main levers of influence in Ukraine include the ongoing armed conflict, corruption, and the poor quality of the political sphere. The Kremlin seeks to exploit these vulnerabilities to promote polarization and encourage a clash between Ukraine’s citizens and its governing elite by taking military action, manipulating the corruption narrative, supporting pro-Russia parties, and fuelling religious tensions through the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC). • The ramifications of the military operation in Donbas reverberate strongly across the country and domestic politics. The most prominent spillover effects include the circulation of firearms and the weakened capacity of authorities to reintegrate internally displaced people (IDPs) and war veterans. • With no clear way to end the armed conflict, there is a growing risk of societal polarization. This could have negative consequences for any prospective peace agreement.

In the post-Soviet period, since the late 80s and early 90s, a number of composers have explored new directions in creative styles thanks to new political and cultural freedoms. This study focuses on Valentyn Silvestrov’s unique Sonata for Violin and Piano “Post Scriptum” (1990), investigating its musical details and their meaning in its post- Soviet compositional context. The purpose is to contribute to a broader overview of Ukraine’s classical music tradition, especially as it relates to national identity and the ii current cultural and political state of the country.

  • Elena Zinkevych the Ukrainian Symphony - Phantom Or Reality?
    Elena Zinkevych The Ukrainian Symphony - Phantom or Reality? During the 20th century the phenomenon of an autonomous Ukrai- nian symphony was not recognized widely. Paradoxically it was also not taken into consideration by the researchers of the symphonic process in the USSR. Thus in Mark Aranovskyi's book "The Sym- phonic Searches"1 not one name of a Ukrainian symphonist is mentioned and the reader is led to the conclusion that it lacks sym- phonists in the Ukraine. Completely neglected were the Ukrainian symphony's historic, social and immanently musical contexts. Possible explanations for such a situation could be: 1. The late birth of the genre: The first valuable Ukrainian sympho- nies were written by Levko Revutsky (1916-1918) and Boris Lyatoshinsky (1918-1920). 2. Its existence within a system called "the Soviet music". Firstly the system was closed and eliminated any interchange with the outer musical world, secondly it was fettered by the dogmas of socialist realism. Both of these interconnected factors (the artificial hermetization and the implantation of "the regime creativity") slowed down the forma- tion of an Ukrainian symphony. In principle all national schools of the former USSR were subdued to the influence of the mentioned factors, but in each different case the general directions were cor- rected by the local conditions. Especially in the Ukraine all the de- crees issued from the Centre were particularly exaggerated. The fo1- lowing proverb expresses this tendency: When in Moscow one cuts off nails, in Kiev one chops off fingers. All actions inspired by the Centre were accomplished by the Ukrainian communist party management with a particular zeal to demonstrate its loyalty.
