so like if russia exist, it means that you, grandma ukraine's buddhist internationally recognized for do ordinary russians supposed putin's narrative. hello, gus, i'm them fennel. i met with joseph 1420 bellamy who could sell you a quick introduction on this topic. who as russians, if they think that ukraine is so that a state and i person to fee that of course it's sort of in state. you know, in the ninety's, russian as a well soviet concerts, i believe they signed on the agreement. that the board there's are, is it these right? no, i do you believe ukraine is a sovereign state? yes. to have their own constitution, their own symbols of power. the so it's an independent state,

it's not up to one person to decide to do more. i don't think expanding our board as will serve our country well known was not so good news. especially not when it comes to regions that many would like to see as part of the russian federation, which so many people have family ties and friends there for the past 70 years we've been so closely tied. and now we're just cutting everything off and, and saying we no longer know each other. with over 3 decades ago, some 2000000 people took to the streets in former soviet countries to demand independence. in august 1989 protested in estonia, lithuania and latvia formed a human chain stretching over 600 kilometers. it was dubbed the baltic way. since then, questions of national identity have been central in the baltic states to russia's

war and ukraine has reopened old wounds. in latvia, an age old conflict has resurfaced between the countries, ethnic, russian minority and the lat. b. a majority. i'm david romanovs ski. i have polish roots and i'm on my way to the latvian capital rica. i want to find out what defines latvian identity today after more than 30 years of independence. and what impact the ukraine war has had a a with ah, my name is autumn all through. hawkins, i'm calling for for aka. i'm

still in luck in latin history. latin identity in kind of things that you know, i feel it related to the things i love and hey, on the same time. so i missed from my country's, my, my and so for my artistic artistic breakfast i think the latin mission entities pretty much based on the suffering for you that recent past and soviet path is kind of very significant elements. course always we being seeing ourselves as victims so this is missouri compassion. this is the all part. and then that is a new abroad which is symbolizes that we can get rid of all history. instead of like, you know, let's have another page now history, let's, let's leave it, let's forget it. you know, movable. the like, why brides, you know, a new likes car. you know, hey, we want to keep suffering. we want to keep talking about our pain. you know,

i'm familiar with this kind of past from poland, this collective trauma. in latvia, it still shapes relations with russia and with latvia, russian speaking minority which make up a quarter of the population. the soviet era victory monument was one focal point for tensions ethnic russians used to gather here to commemorate soldiers who fought against nazi germany in the 2nd world war. in august 2022, the latvian government had demolished and protest over the ukraine war for years are nice about shoes, documented the russian commemorations that took place here. ah, that was not to for demolishing because i don't think that change as anything. but when the awarded ukraine started, we thought that this is our enemy and the monuments of help. okay, let's just do it in our spontaneously. let's go there, demolish. it was our hands, you know, like berlin wall it, this is,

oh my be way of like relieving some kind of this, whatever pain or suffering that we have jowl then neither like i should have said i was going to drop box. and thanks show that i think i think it's a bit different with young people because i think they don't think in these kind of categories and all that fans, russian. so whatever else i was like, oh, okay, i will talk on these tags and this is i shall i like about deuce young people, most of the ones that time take pictures of the day i would say kind of free. i'd be there. neve. maybe they are more like natural is because they are not yet parked over the system. with

both young and old are now taking to the streets to protest rushes war in ukraine. i'm wondering what this all means for the russian speaking minority in latvia. both of them maybe don't feel very comfortable, i'm not talking about the signal so called 5th colony that they always felt ok. they live in a brown country talk about kind of reasonable like russians that are here. they've been seen as a kind of local enemy in a way, and they have to pool once again themselves. okay. you know, we are, we're not, we don't agree was put in all the way we want this to be the independent states. so our russian latvians feeling the pressure i decide to visit the russian theater enrica, to find out more. mm

hm. maxim brochure i, my name is maxine booster. i come from reger in latvia, and i work as an actor in theda and television for yucca close condition shore as a russian speaking person in latvia. i've always felt that i have to make more of an effort to own people's attention and respect. it's even in my new area. when the war started, he broke off all his theatre commitments in russia. okay, with toyota of, of sunburn, there's a double stand and, and there are 2 sides to every things that on the left, on the one hand, our country has not sought to integrate russian speakers into latvian culture. but on the other many russians speak is in our country, have themselves failed to integrate for many years of her song or could be, i'm talking about people who think that ukraine is bombing itself out. people who think that russia is a great power and does everything right. our. so that's really what these people think. i mean, because she thought we'd love,

i love fluids, difficult globally, because our society is divided in nealus. that's why we're seeing these radical measures to cut off everything associated with russian politics as much as possible . so we can finally move forward to service, but it's most complicated for people who are in the public eye because some way constantly being asked to express an opinion. and thankfully, or my opinion is, is of just said it will, can browse all walks of this with. so for godaddy whether russian or latvian speaking, the vast majority of the population is strongly opposed to the war in ukraine. could this create a new collective sense of national identity among latvia as young people? patriotism also has a dog site. in the serbian city of novels that residence awoke one morning to find a number of house facades painted in the colors of the national flag. who was

behind it, and what did it mean? lou village, i grew up in the leman neighbourhood of novi, sad through the 2nd largest city in serbia. it's a manly middle class and upper class neighbourhood at leim and as close to the city center. the university is here easily and the river danube yard, some lane lug. well, i'm nina, acrobat. i'm 21 years old and studying journalism, i've spent my entire life in layman helemano some prov. ella taps for geo who's lee. many men as always be known, friends, open culture punk and rock'n'roll. he can get fruits, graffiti cut the widget there when you look at the names in the

mail. but this is in the apartment plot. if you'll soon notice that it's a multi national neighborhood or a quite multi, not good . they bought to it when you get 5 years slap. so at politics became central in our lives. you're not at the new authorities brought nationalism into this multi ethnic setting. them law, due to the governing, you hearty controls, all aspects of life pressuring every one in one way or another. he talked, it's been that way through 30 years. ah,

on the sebastian. mm hm. and then the unthinkable happened right here in my neighborhood to mass foods in local elections. the residence of layman didn't vote for the governing party. they voted for independent candidates from the neighbourhood, dark launched, yet most of them women, which in louisiana vulgar april. it is because our society is so politicized. we are aware that party members don't act in the interests of the people. it or it's certainly not guaranteed that instead they serve the agenda of their political party. but that's why we have so many problems and corruption, it could, i would, i rather to part of the governing heart. he couldn't let that stand and decided to punish us using the tools i know best thought nationalism mccoy. so all the key could only national eastman dot com overnight. lehman was painted in the color of

the serbian flag or this is really, it was done by the people who lost the election to show us whose boss around here when it was not they'd have done better to set up a few trash cans. instead he did, we have none here any more, said the bots, the summer's the by will change the order of the color is and add a symbol. it may be a heart that it, that would remind me of the past of the days of yugoslavia. none more, but a man are you was lab hearing the said the noise austin, and the worst thing about these flags is that they're trying to enforce patriotism . it's desecrating the city. what can you say other which wall nation. honestly, i think president booted did this because we didn't vote for him or me. they juno, new glossy. and that must mean we're not serbians. if we don't vote for him called the municipal should of the are call glosson isn't your i haven't noticed the flag regular. there's one right behind you. oh, well justice dash,

it was pretty scary because it gives you a feeling of helplessness started. you know, it's a demonstration of the howard that says or we can do whatever we want to. you probably can paint a flag over your face whether we can spit in your face all the minute. this is the problem, and this is the general mode in our society to again arm of pharaoh national rossclovis the back on the pseudo valley on after that, teenagers were brought from other parts of the city to protest on the main street. down to intimidate us. we mantis from the people of lemon responded by adding red stars to the flags that turned the serbian flies into yugoslavian one deal before his nguyen with some one graffiti word to crying in nationalism. yet the next one activists went further,

right in the names of unresolved state scandals on the flags. iroquois brought double blast for the st. louis saw not be sir philip. i wrote the names of the scandals in broad daylight, sir, because i didn't want to be like them though. hiding in the night's cha mobile poor bella. donna, i think truth is the greatest form of patriotism up and burned. i rich, but there is a misty was that a seem a moment but i am but hello everyone. yas, i'm brian brockovich is gig. i'm a civil rights activist fighting for the common good. what is those an act goldstein that is bob ordering this analogy. well, we're sure there was this place here is called shaudra us. well nor game garage anyone all saw the many people see it as the grain long of novi. sad was of course of as, as all god, the platform where camping here to protest look sob because they want to chop down this forest. alizay more he spoke jagger. com. where more do they want to cover

this entire area in concrete, shlomo e double, tony, right? fuji model flock. jenny gust, ronald blace. i've been called the surveyed armika, a croatian mercenary mac and attracted to the country of gloom. it was 3rd she. they claimed that i have millions in my bank accounts, which isn't true problem, bro. yeah, the nationalists, i've become public enemy number one are not soon alone, but i did any. i think the russian influence in serbia is pretty strong because russia supports the nationalist policy here. any one who tries to address a real problem get stigmatized, dynamic would be we'd pick up, i've encountered real difficulties below below problem or has been for them. it's our kirk as to the red stars were painted. i fancy our bits. but once again, the police didn't intervene. it's a good, although the whole thing was captured on surveillance cameras. after that, they put stickers with opposition, party slogans at the entrances to our buildings, to denounce at sac or ballard. because sympathy is there any who, if bleached kick,

brought him xact him. so they also changed the name of the main street in li, manually billy to ratcliff, melodic boulevard library. he's a convicted war, criminal general grant was locked in on that and then someone to painted hard on the flags. it's not clear who or which site painted the hearts the fight over national symbols in no visa continues. sh oh oh, we return now to ukraine. several years ago, an artist embarked on a journey across the country to see if you could spot any changes as he headed east

. he wanted to find out what unites ukraine and its people and my artist to based in ukraine. so i started look from graffiti a very important part of my development. literally in the late nineties, i was born in the west in western ukraine in their mining town rocks on the polish . and so the border in 1979 ah, brought to a long piece of coal from my area. and i brought it by you walk by feet or 2 of us, you know, walked for $1000.00, come to see took with me one month with

the western new queen was under the austrian empire before i was under the books. and then if you are slowly walk to the area, we was part of russian fashion and by you immediately notice some cultural changes, not appeal. ah . so basically at the same time you notice no changes. ah, august heritage is in way more powerful away more powerful. it any narratives on ukrainian territory before. so like in the west wing, the east you just realized that you are in the pacific countries or is ukrainian

identity still shaped by the days of the soviet union. those of acne off noticed that although the architect had changed, the people's mindset remained the same across the country. or look simply, i felt like i went to if i went back home, i don't was because nobody knows that the people thing like old don't boss is broke russian, whatever, and west desert mo, like west, more similar to europe. know, at the inside embassies, a european project, this industry was in the 1st place created by the western business like by the belgium, by french, by english capital to ukraine. yes. are different to russians because they are european i, we like deeply believed that we are part of europe. it's our like a heritage. so he was with
