      Traditional costumes of ethnographic groups of Ukrainians in the Carpathian region

      by Halyna Stelmashchuk

      The new book of the well-known researcher of Ukrainian decorative and visual arts, Professor Halyna Stelmashchuk, is devoted to the folk clothing worn by Ukrainians of ethnographic groups: Boikos, Lemkos, Hutsuls, Pokutians, Bukovyants in the Carpathians. It has many features in common with the clothing used in all regions of Ukraine, but because of climatic, economic, social conditions, and cultural relations with neighboring states over the centuries, the clothing of the Ukrainians of the Carpathians developed its distinctive local features, which are unique by their colorfulness, decoration, method of wearing and the fact that on festive days it can still be seen on people, especially in the Hutsul Region. The book will be interesting to scientists, artists, students, students, tourists, and everyone interested in the history, culture, and art of Ukrainian people.

      Bridges Instead of Walls, or What Unites Ukrainians?

      by Tetiana Teren

      In this collection of essays, twenty Ukrainian intellectuals reflect on the phenomenon of social bridges and walls. Why do they both exist? Do bridges always bring understanding? Or do they perhaps sometimes allow crossing boundaries? Do walls necessarily separate? Or do they occasionally protect? With whom and how should we build bridges, and from whom shall we isolate by walls? The result of the media project of the Ukrainian branch of the International PEN Club, published in the New Time publication, is now under one cover. On the pages of the book, you will find essays by the following authors: Kateryna Kalytko, Kateryna Botanova, Vakhtang Kebuladze, Zoya Kazanzhy, Ostap Slyvinskyi, Olena Stiazhkina, Larysa Denysenko, Myroslava Barchuk, Viktoriya Amelina, Vitaliy Ponomariov, Vasyl Makhno, Volodymyr Rafeenko, Mykola Riabchuk, Volodymyr Yermolenko, Svitlana Pyrkalo, Borys Gudziak, Ihor Isichenko, Halyna Vdovychenko, Pavlo Kazarin, Vitaliy Portnykov. Compiled by Tetiana Teren. Foreword by Andriy Kurkov.
