Nationalism and “European values”: Is LGBT winning?

However, the topic of the lecture had nothing to do with the "gender" issue at all. It was called "National Identity of Ukrainians in the 21st Century". Moreover, Chaplyhin is one of the most patriotic philosophers in Ukraine.

And here we come to the core of the problem of contemporary Ukrainian society.

On the one hand, patriotism, bordering on radical nationalism, is on trend. On the other hand, there is the aspiration to align with "European values" in all their diversity.

"Spring will come – we’ll start planting"?

In 2019, Volodymyr Zelensky ran for office under the loud slogan "Spring will come – we’ll start planting" (there is a play of words in this saying: it is natural to plant something in spring vs. it is natural to put somebody in jail with the arrival of new time and power).
