How does Russia’s war change the way Ukrainians identify?

Russia's efforts to wipe out Ukrainian's sense of identity and connection to their history predates the invasion of 2022 – the erasure of public documents and archives dates back to Soviet times. Today, however, Ukrainians are becoming more motivated to rediscover their roots and dive into history to find the stories of their ancestors. In this episode, Rubryka looks at how Ukrainians around the world are using genealogy to trace the story of Ukraine and change their perspective on how they are.
