In this episode, Volodymyr Yermolenko - a Ukrainian philosopher and journalist, and chief editor of UkraineWorld.org - and Tetyana Ogarkova - a Ukrainian scholar and journalist in charge of international outreach at the Ukraine Crisis Media Centre - analyse the key features of Ukrainian civic and political identity.

They discuss the long history of fighting against tyranny, a culture of self-organisation, the dynamism of social change, and a bottom-up understanding of politics.
