Ukraine through the words of its anthem

Olena Kharchenko uses Ukraine’s national anthem as a framework for introducing the country’s history, landscape, culture, and people. Each culturally significant line is accompanied by details about Ukrainian land and life, while the lyrics’ history as a once-forbidden song places questions of national identity and freedom in view. The text is presented in both English and Ukrainian, giving the book a bilingual structure alongside its introduction to Ukraine.
