Як нас робили рускімі: музика, серіали і культура окупації | The Документаліст

How we were made “Russian” through music, TV series, and books. The 1989 Chernivtsi “Chervona Ruta” festival was an explosion of Ukrainian culture and, according to Ivan Malkovich, ignited the spark of independence. But after the collapse of the USSR, the Kremlin took revenge — not with tanks, but with mass culture. In this issue of The Documentary, we learn how in the 1990s and 2000s Ukraine was purposefully immersed in the Russian cultural space: through pop music, “blatnyak,” crime series, TV shows, and cheap literature. Why did Ukrainians listen to “Lyube” and BI-2, watch “Brigada” and “Banditsky Petersburg,” while their own culture found itself on the margins? How did Russian pop culture shape apathy, tolerate lawlessness, and instill “concepts”? We are talking about the cultural expansion of Russia, the role of television, radio and the book market, the missed opportunity of the 90s and the slow but inevitable revival of Ukrainian culture. Why this plan almost worked - and why it ultimately failed. Watch to understand how culture has become a hybrid weapon, and why today listening, watching and reading your own is not a matter of taste, but of survival. ____________ !!!ATTENTION COLLECTIONS!!! for the M-SQUAD unit of the 24th Kogol Danylo Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade for the ground robotic complex "Lys Pro".
