If you liked Stephania and enjoy mixing folk music with modern genres, you are going to love modern ukrainian scene! There is a lot of bangers currently trending in ukrainian social media, and it’s a huge shame that ai algorhythms and geolocation are keeping it from the wider audience. I have made a compilation of my favourite songs of national resistance and I’ll leave a link to it on youtube. (Many have subtitles in english, and for those that don’t, feel free to message me for a translation)

I also very much recommend this playlist with all-time ukrainian classics.

You can say thanks by donating to Ukrainian army or our volunteers. Even if you can spare just a dollar, this will add up and help saving a lot of lives. We are constantly collecting funds for buying equipment for our army, as well as medicine, provisions, and humanitarian relief for refugees.

In 1966 two young men raised Ukrainian flag on top of university in Kyiv as a protest against soviet totalitarian regime. Writing on the flag says: "Ukraine has not yet perished, it has not been killed yet", first half of the sentence is a reference to Ukrainian anthem. Due to supply shortage in USSR flag was made from two scarfs. KGB confiscated the flag, conducted secret mass inspections searching for protesters, detained both of them and later they were sent to the labor camps.

The first Ukrainian airship "Kyiv" in its very first flight over the city, October 22, 1911, Kyiv

The airship Kyiv, built by a Ukrainian engineer Fedir F. Anders, was showcased tethered in the Merchant Assembly Garden (today Khreshchatyi Park). On its first public flight the airship maintained an altitude of 18 to 20 meters. Over the course of a year, the airship completed more than 150 flights and carried about 200 passengers. Newspapers of the time detailed its specifications: "The airship has a volume of 890 m³, powered by a 25-horsepower Anzani engine with water cooling. The balloon's length is 51 arshins (36,2 meters), and the gondola suspended beneath it is 25 arshins (17,75 meters). One side of the gondola houses the engine and mechanical systems, while the other features a small metal basket for passengers." Flights on the airship were advertised: "Entrance fee 50 kopecks, students — 27 kopecks." After the crash of the "Kyiv" on August 29, 1912, Anders began constructing a new airship, the "Kyiv-2."
