This event became a bright example of how traditions can unite people and inspire preservation of cultural heritage.
“Haivki are an important part of cultural heritage and support the connection between modernity and ancient traditions. It is not only an expression of folk creativity, but also an important cultural asset that reflects the traditions, faith and way of life of the Ukrainian people. They play a role in the preservation and transmission of cultural heritage, stimulating interest in national identity,” noted Ivan Sobko.
