Cultural expansion is the process of Russia's slow and gradual occupation of Ukrainian cultural life, displacing specific phenomena from Ukrainian culture and either appropriating them or replacing them with its own. Everyone has heard about the banning of the Ukrainian language, knows about the Russification of Ukrainian television or the destruction of historic architecture in Soviet times. However, far fewer people imagine the scale of this expansion and the depth of Russian influence on every sphere of cultural life. Our anthology presents a multidimensional picture of Russia's aggressive behaviour in the Ukrainian cultural field - from the 18th century to the present day, from church architecture to television advertising.
