Some of the essays in The Unblooming Flower are devoted to defending the idea of an open society, the ideals of freedom of creativity, breadth and open-mindedness. Thus, Kruger defends the Kyiv Lavra International Poetry Festival, designer and illustrator Oleksandr Grekhov, who has been the target of attacks by Ukrainian right-wing and far-right forces at various times. The canon of Ukrainian poetry, the interconnection and interpenetration of high and mass cultures, the need for an open society, free thinking, freedom of speech and creativity - this is how we can summarise the content of Vano Kruger's new book.
