How I needed to see something like that!

traditional cross-dressing on ukrainian malanka holiday. the woman is dressed as vasyl (folk adaptation of st. basil) and the man is dressed as malanka (folk adaptation of st. melania).

during this holiday, ukrainians honor the ancestral spirits and imitate them by dressing as animals and opposite genders, since it is believed that the otherworld blurs the line between male and female, as well as between man and beast.

Easter bread! Didn’t think to take photos of the other one before I left my grammas (and started cutting it lol), but I’m quite proud of my decoration on this one.

Babka (Ukrainian Easter bread) is a very weird dough to knead, because it’s very very soft and seems like it should be sticky, but because it has a dozen eggs and a cup of butter it isn’t.

PS I have no idea how “authentic” this is. This is how my gramma does it tho.

One more representation of Cossack playing bandura (I'm nearly sure, that he has a bandura here) in a contemporary Ukrainian art. Great!

Cultural Heritage of Kharkiv

Boyko House

The House for I. Boyko, architects S. Timoshenko and P. Shirshov was built in 1912

The building was initially two-story. The mansion belonged to entrepreneur Boyko and included three apartments. The hall with a marble staircase was illuminated through a glass roof. In 1914, the vestibule and staircase walls were painted by artist Mykola Samokish. The hall was also adorned with a panel by Sergiy Vasylkivsky. In 1930, the building was transferred to the nkvd department, and the mansion was converted into an apartment building by adding two floors, but the original roof and tower were dismantled. The walls with paintings were half-painted over and then whitewashed, and Vasylkivsky's panel was discarded.

Later, artists cleaned the paintings from the paint.

The entrance was decorated with a floral ornament.

On the northern side, there was also a picturesque panel by Sergei Vasylkivsky, but it was completely lost.

In 1970, the whitewash was removed.

Already in 2006, a professor from the Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts, together with students, conducted a comprehensive study of the painting. They examined the ornament under ultraviolet light and a microscope and involved a chemistry expert. They then developed a restoration methodology. Over the course of two months, they restored two fragments. These fragments had seven layers of paint of different compositions from different periods.

It took almost no time at all after they invaded Ukraine for all Western countries to condemn Russia & ban them from most major associations.. yet those same Western countries are gladly support Israel committing a full of genocide against innocent Palestinians & are even going to the lengths of bombing the countries that ARE condemning Israel.

What a fucking twisted world we live in honestly

They are absolutely gorgeous! I wonder whether this Cossack in the foreground was intended as the image of Taras Shevchenko? Or has been styled after his famous portrait in the Cossack attire?

The ruins in the photo were the House of Culture in the village of Tomaryne, Kherson region. Yesterday, it was destroyed by a guided aerial bomb. The building was an important center of cultural life for the local residents, making the attack on it an alleged violation of the Hague Convention. Overall, Ukraine’s cultural heritage suffers nearly every day. At least 1,096 sites have been damaged as a result of Russian aggression.

Palace of the Lopukhin

Located on an island in the middle of the Ros River. City of Korosten.Ukraine.

It was built in 1789 by Prince Stanisław Poniatowski, its architecture, in the neo-Gothic style, looks stunning. Of particular note are the entrance gates, executed in the spirit of French defensive architecture. Many contemporaries note that the palace (along with the adjacent territory, park) was long considered one of the richest in Europe. Founded in 1782 and intended as his own summer residence. In fact, the building was erected on the remains of a fortress of Polish princes, which was built on the Ancient Rus' hillfort of the town of Korosten. Initially, talented architects named Lindsay and Muntz worked on the building project. With the participation of Prince Lopukhin, the exterior of the building was significantly transformed – separate features of romanticism, classicism, supplemented with elements of Gothic, appeared. Fortunately, the revolutionary events of those times did not affect the integrity and present beauty of the palace. To this day, it has survived practically in its original form. The history of the property is controversial.

Lopukhin, in 1799, purchased the estate from the Polish leader Stanisław Poniatowski, giving him 10,000 rubles in silver. A corresponding decree was separately prepared. It stated that along with the palace, trees, lands, crockery, library, and garden were transferred. One of the heirs of the estate was the most enlightened Prince Nikolai Petrovich Demidov. If the former owners of the object had enough income not only for living but also for maintaining the entire economy, then the newly minted owner began to experience significant financial difficulties. The situation was exacerbated by the abolition of serfdom, the improper lifestyle of Nikolai Petrovich. Even the work of two sugar factories of his own did not save the situation, despite the fact that other industrialists made good money on similar enterprises. It got to the point that by 1897, Lopukhin-Demidov was forced to take out a loan of 2.5 million rubles. The estate, which was estimated at that time at 4,167 thousand rubles, was mortgaged. Such significant "infusions" did not change the situation. Therefore, the prince decided to transfer his debts to the state. In 1901, he applied for guardianship of the estate in order to reduce the total debt. The historical importance of the palace, its integrity played a positive role in this matter.

By 1902, the unfavorable condition of the estate served as an impetus for its sale, transfer to the state balance. The lack of working capital, excessive indebtedness, the obligations of the Lopukhin-Demidov family contributed to the activation of this process. Numerous efforts did not allow getting rid of debts. Again, in 1907, the palace was laid down for another 66 and a half years. The composition of the guardianship management changed several times, while the total debt continued to grow. The situation began to get out of control, and Nikolai Petrovich turned to the emperor for help. It turned out that the cause of all the troubles was the manager, whom they did not prosecute after proving his guilt. Nikolai Petrovich planned that within the next three to four years, he would be able to settle private debts, a little later – with the rest. At the end of 1910, the Most Enlightened One died. His wife applied for the preservation of guardianship over the inheritance. The descendants of Lopukhin-Demidov (sons) rarely visited the estate, preferring other countries.

The estate went through a difficult time during World War II, in 1944. In Korosten, the 80-thousand-strong army of German invaders was based, who were successfully "knocked out" from their positions .For this operation, the city was awarded the Order of the 1st degree. By February 14, the city was completely liberated from the fascists. Today, there is a thematic museum in the estate dedicated to the Great Battle.
