In the fifth episode of Ukraine's Story, we will focus on Ukraine's experience under yet another foreign rule, this time: the Russian Empire. From the reign of Catherine the Great up until the chaos of the 1917 Russian Revolution, we unravel the complex dynamics that shaped Ukraine's destiny within the imperial framework. Join us as we explore the cultural, social, and political landscape of Ukraine during this pivotal period, shedding light on how Ukrainian identity came into conflict with Russian Imperial forces, but how, ultimately, Ukrainian identity survived this domination and stayed alive - like a candle in a cave.
