Народна пісня, війна і сила культури | Ярослава Руденко в «ІПсО і люди»

⚠️ In this issue of “IPsO and People” — a conversation with People’s Artist of Ukraine Yaroslava Rudenko. We talk about Ukrainian folk song as part of national identity, state awards, cultural initiatives during the war, concerts for the military, the fight for Ukrainian heritage and Russia’s attempts to appropriate our culture. Main topics of the issue: • What does the title “People’s Artist of Ukraine” mean to Yaroslava Rudenko and whether state awards are needed today. • Folk song: how to preserve tradition without losing its authenticity. • Why Russia systematically appropriates Ukrainian music and what this says about the state of its own culture. • Concerts for the military: how music helps to experience losses, stress and everyday combat. • Personal experience of working in front-line territories, experienced shelling and psychological recovery. 🎥 Watch, subscribe, like and share the video.   / rudenkoyaroslava     / yaroslava__rudenko
