In the struggle for the homeland, our artists – carriers of living heritage – die. Their loss undermines the very heart of our identity. After all, without there is no such thing as a living legacy. We are proving that even in the darkest times we remain indomitable,” said MKSK chairman Mykola Tochytskyi. in his video message.
