Episode Summary
Yulia and Professor Kateryna Zarembo discuss the real history of Donbas region, how the russian language became prevalent in the area, and why the West takes as fact that the Donbas has "always been russian."
Professor Kateryna Zarembo researches and lectures at Kyiv-Mohyla Academy and is an author of the award-winning book, Ukrainian Sunrise. She specializes in the ethnocultural composure of Eastern Ukraine and helps us dissect why the persistent myths about the Donbas are simply products of a limited understanding of the region's history.
