Shchedryk Against the "Russian World"(Щедрик проти "русского міра")

The film "Shchedryk Against the "Russian World" reveals the fascinating story of how a visit to a secular concert on January 1, 1919 led Symon Petliura to entrust the conductor Oleksandr Koshyts with the creation of a choir and send it on a world tour to promote Ukrainian culture. By the coincidence of modern history, the plot of the film raises a number of current problems of today - opposition to Russian cultural expansion and propaganda, issues of cultural diplomacy of Ukraine, the place of Ukrainian cultural product in the world and its struggle for itself.
