A Millennium of Ukrainian Statehood: from Rus to Modern Ukraine

A two-day festival for the Day of Ukrainian Statehood, organised by the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory and the Museum of Kyiv History. The programme included lectures and discussions with Ukrainian historians, a historical reconstruction space, a mini-exhibition on the continuity of Ukrainian statehood, museum tours and an educational programme. Entry was free.

Atira Ruthenia took part in the reconstruction space with a living-history presentation, alongside the clubs Kyiv Grad, Pecherska Sotnia and UNR. On 15 July our leader Bohdan Ostroushenko, a war veteran, talked to visitors about his reconstructed clothing and kit; the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory filmed it: video on Instagram.
