As the director of Kharviv’s Literary Museum, it’s Tetyana Pylypchuk’s job to think historically and narratively into the future. What will Kharkiv be like after the war?
repeatedly claimed that Ukraine as an independent country didn’t exist, that there was no such thing as a separate Ukrainian language, or a separate Ukrainian people.

The topic for Museum Night was dismantling monuments to Alexander Pushkin.
