This issue of Porohy is published at a time when we remember those who have held and continue to hold the Ukrainian sky, land, and dignity. October 14 — the Day of Defenders of Ukraine — comes once again solely thanks to the awareness across generations of Ukrainians about the necessity of continuous struggle for the space of freedom — from the past to the present. In this issue, we rethink the colonial past, which, casting its shadow, continues to shape perceptions of us today.
We discuss the Slavic heritage — through the language of genes and through the manipulations of empires that tried to mold their myths from this legacy. We publish analytical materials on current military affairs, explaining why the buildup of assault units without revising strategic approaches can become a catastrophe.
In this issue, you will also find materials on how civic initiatives in Czech society, such as “Auta Pro UA,” restore a human face of solidarity to the war.
We also remember Stepan Bandera, presenting his figure in the light of contemporary geopolitical challenges. Because as long as we remember, speak, and act — Ukraine stands.
