so like, if russia exist, it means that you greg lindsay ah, ukraine's buddhist i internationally recognized. so do ordinary russian support patients narrative. hello guys. i nathaniel, i met with joseph for some 20 bellamy booklet sale you a quick introduction on the stop in as russians if they feel that ukraine is so that a state right. and i person to feel that of course it's sort of in state in, in the ninety's ration as well. soviet conference, i believe they signed on the agreement that the board there's are, is it this right? no, i do you believe ukraine is a sovereign state about yes. to have their own constitution, their own symbols of power the so it's an independent state,

but it's not up to one person to decide. yet, boomers, i don't think expanding our boat as will serve our country well known was not so good on you. 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 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 protestors 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 boons. in latvia, an age old conflict has resurfaced between the countries ethnic russian minority and the light b. a majority. i'm david romanov ski. i have polish roots and i'm on my way to the light being 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 teen. my name is autumn. oh, truth i've hawkess's daughter are active. i am interested in

latvia, in latin history, latin identity in kind of things that i feel related to the think silo and hey, on the same time. same as from my countries, my my and so as for my artistic artistic breakfast, i think her latin initial deputies, pretty much based on the suffering you have that recent past. no soviet past, those kind of very significant elements. source always we being single ourselves as victims. so this is missouri compassion. this is the all part. and then that is a new will bought. it symbolizes that we can get rid of our history. instead of like, you know, let's have another page, you know, history. let's, let's leave it, let forget it. you know, mirabelle the like, why brides, you know, a new likes car. you know, hey, we wanna 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's still shapes relations with russia and with light b as russian speaking minority which make up a quarter of the population. the soviet era victory monument was one focal point, pretensions, 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. our ne spout shoes documented the russian commemorations that took place here. ah, that was not for demolishing because i don't think that change anything but the window. what is the crane start? if we tell that this is our enemy and on the monument and i've help, okay, let's just do it in our spontaneously. let's go there, demolish. it was our hands, you know, like berlin wallet, this is, oh my be way of like relieving some kind of dish,

whatever pain or suffering that we have shall of day. and neither. i should have said i was going to drop by and thanks show that i the i think i think it's a bit different with young people because i think that i don't think in these kind of categories and all that fans, russian. so whatever else i was like, let me can i look on the stakes me this is ashley. why like i'm on. deuce young people also the ones that i take pictures of the day i will kind of free. i eve. maybe they are more of like natural is because they are not yet part of the system with

in both young and old are now taking to the streets to protest rushes war in ukraine. i'm wondering what this all means, but the russian speaking minority in latvia, a lot of them but don't feel very comfortable. i'm not talking about the signal so called fix colony that they always felt ok. they live in a brown country talk about kind of reasonable like russians. natasha. they've been seen as a kind of local animation away. 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. martian brucell. yes. my name is maxine booster. i come from reger in latvia and i work as an actor in theater and televisions, 3 hacker crews, commission, sure. 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 to exhibit my new order. when the war started, he broke off all his theatre commitments in russia. mac of with told him to have some corner. there's a double stand and, and there are 2 sides to everything. certainly not on the one hand, our country has not sought to integrate russian speakers into latvian culture. but on the other, many russian speak is in our country, have themselves failed to integrate for many years or per song. or could i'm talking about people who think that ukraine is bombing itself. people who think that russia is a great power and does everything right. our so that's really what these people think. i think a chef i would love,

i love fluids, difficult globally because our society is divided 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 for books or 15 for gretel b whether russian or latvian speaking the vast majority of the population is strongly opposed to the war and ukraine. could this create a new collective sense of national identity among lack v as young people? patriotism also has a dog side. in the serbian city of navisites 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? ah, village. i grew up in the lehman neighbourhood of novi, sad through the 2nd largest city in serbia. it's mainly middle class and upper class neighbourhood and our lease 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 valley manor, some prov. ella taps for geo who's lee money man has always been known friends, open culture punk and rock'n'roll. he couldn't get flirts graffiti. cut the woods at the when you look at the names in the

mail, but this is in the apartments lot. if you'll soon notice that it's a multi national neighborhood of a quite multi not good . they bought 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 fees and 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 num jana vulgar ability, because our society is so politicized, we are aware that party members don't act in the interests of the people. 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 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 kiko nuts in elisa dot com over night. lehman was painted in the color of the serbian flag

orders. this is really, it was done by the people who lost the election to show us whose boss around here. when did this or not, that have done better to set up a few trash cans instead than we have none here any more? said the bots. the summer's the bye will change the order of the colors 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 every day. men or you were sly viewing the soda nor goings. austin, when the worst thing about these flags is that they are trying to enforce patriotism. it's desecrating the city. what can you thank other which wall nation? honestly, i think president booted did this because we didn't vote for him or me. they juno, new glosser. and that must mean we're not serbians, if we don't vote for him or diminishing, shouldn't be arkell glosson isn't here, 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 tie off it. 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 off to minute. this is the problem, and this is the general mode in our society to again arc ma, federal national sylvester back on the saliva. leon, after that teenagers were brought from other parts of the city to protest on the main street styles to intimidate us. we mantis from the people of lee man responded by adding red stars to the flags that turned the serbian flies into yugoslavian. one deal with swab esc, may adam 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 that double blast for the sum be saw not be sir phillips. i wrote the names of the scandals in broad daylight, so because i didn't want to be like them who broke hiding in the night, cha, mobil, 4 bill on. and i think truth is the greatest form of patriotism. awesome. bur my which but there is a misty was that of seem a moment, but i am but hello everyone. yas, i'm brian brockovich is kick. i'm a civil rights activist fighting for the common good. what is those an act goldstein that is bob or nickerson allison? well, we're shoulders this place here is called shaudra us. well, morgan garage, anyone all saw the many people see it as the grain long of novi. sad was of course of as, as all a god, the platform where camping he had to protest look sad because they want to shut down this forest. ology more. he spoke jagger. com. where more to it. they want to

cover this entire area. some concrete, shlomo e, double danita, fuji model flock. jenny gust, ronald blace. i've been called the surveyed armika, a croatian mercenary mac, and a traitor to the country of june. it was 3rd she. they claimed that i have millions in my bank accounts, which isn't true problem roy. yet for the nationalists, i become public enemy number one, not soon a low, but i did any. i think the russian influence in serbia is pretty strong because we are russia supports the nationalist policy here. anyone who tries to address a real problem get stigmatized, dynamic will be read the goc. i've encountered real difficulties below below problem osbee. it's our kirk is to the red stars were painted, i fancy our bits, but once again, the police didn't intervene. 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 we fully typically

brought in is i think that they also changed the name of the main street in li, manually delete a radical melodic boulevard library. he's a convicted war, criminal general grappling lapkins owned and then someone to painted hearts on the fly was it's not clear who or which site painted the hearts the fight of a national symbols in no visits 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 you, crane, and it's people. i'm will work for artist based in give you credit. so i started from graffiti a very important part of my development in yearly. in the late nineties, i was born in a work in western ukraine in mining town children, the rocks on the pollution. so the border in 1979, a piece of coal from my area. and i brought it by you walk by feet or 2 of us, you know, it worked for $1000.00 plus to see took with me one month with

the western new queen was under the australian buyer before i was under the books. and then if you are slowly walked to the area we, she was part of the empire. you immediately noticed some cultural changes. not said, oh i basically, at the same time you not to snow changes. ah, so did her that she's 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're in the pacific country. so is ukrainian

identity still shaped by the days of a soviet union? those of us me off noted that although the architecture 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, must is because nobody knows that the people thing like old don't boss is broke or russian whatever, and west desert mo, like west, more similar to europe. no. the entire done boss is 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

quite often eco, india, ah glaciers, a melting climate change shoes. it's true for in the indian state is a mash del pradesh for the solution. reducing c o 2 through e buses. will this was in 30 minutes on d w. o.

ah ah ah, this is the w news wife from berlin, condemnation and sanctions as russia claims victory and it's so cold referendums. moscow installed officials plane up to 99 percent of voters across sample. you quite get regions 12, joint russia, ukraine and it's wasted allies reject the results and played to a tough response.
