In this special episode of Atlas Linguae, we explore the unique role language plays in Ukraine. We dive into the history of Ukrainian and Russian through the rise and fall of the Soviet Union and up to the present day. We learn about how these languages mix and coexist side by side, and the political significance of choosing to speak one language or the other in times of conflict.
