The legendary "Red Ruta" festival took place in strategic partnership with the movement
Miroslav Melnyk, the director of the festival, called this year's festival special, because its participants together with visitors create resistance and build the future. He also asked not to forget about those who are in the occupation today, because many of the Ticos of the regions were participants in the Red Ruta: "And they remember the" Red Rut ". They know what will be with us, time will come. And they will resist.
This resistance, in fact, this force of resistance is our incentive to cooperate. So let's not forget about them. Here we will create the future. " This year, the Red Ruta festival reached the international arena. One of the goals of the festival to unite Ukrainians. Therefore, qualifying competitions took place in Poland and the United Kingdom, where our citizens are located today, who had to leave Ukraine from Ukraine.
The festival became a site of cultural diplomacy, which represents the world of real Ukraine and returns Ukrainian youth to the national cultural context. According to co -founder and CEO Chervona Ruta UK Foundation Oksana Baranovsky, the next year the selections are planned in France and other EU countries.
The participants of the festival received honors and various nominations, and each finalist became part of the cultural resistance, which united Ukrainians from different places of our country, as well as from abroad. Meetings with representatives of Ukrainian culture were held at the festival. In particular, with the founder of the group "Pie and Batig" Marian Piig spoke about "good Russian" and the danger of false narratives that penetrate the Ukrainian information space.
The artist also explained why more Ukrainian content should be created. Earlier, we wrote that a meeting with the head of the SCO resistance movement was held within the framework of the Red Ruta festival.
Within the festival there were panel discussions on the topics "Modern practices of artistic resistance", a lecture "National resistance: historical origins and modern necessity", which was read by famous historians Andriy Sova, Mykola Sivnich and Oleg Feshovets for Lviv youth, as well as an open meeting with representatives.
