☆ Ukraine's Zelenskiy signs law banning import of books from Russia

KYIV, June 22 (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy signed into law a ban on the commercial import of books from Russia on Thursday, the latest move to reduce cultural ties between the two countries following Moscow's invasion. "I believe the law is right," Zelenskiy wrote on the Telegram messaging app, announcing he had signed a bill which also bans the commercial import of books printed in Belarus or in occupied Ukrainian territory. The bill, adopted by parliament a year ago, also makes its a requirement to obtain special permission to import books in the Russian language from third countries. Zelenskiy's office said on Twitter that the law would "strengthen the protection of the Ukrainian cultural and information space from anti-Ukrainian Russian propaganda".

☆ Ukraine's main Catholic church moves Christmas to Dec. 25 in pivot to West
  + stars: | 2023-02-06 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
KYIV, Feb 6 (Reuters) - Ukraine's main Catholic church said on Monday it would move to a new calendar that would see Christmas celebrated on Dec. 25 rather than Jan. 7, amid an effort by Ukrainian institutions to break cultural links to Russia. The move by the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC), which counts just under a tenth of Ukrainians as worshippers, was welcomed by culture minister Oleksandr Tkachenko. That poll, held in December 2022, showed 59% of over 1.5 million respondents supported moving Christmas celebrations to Dec. 25, when the feast is celebrated in Western Europe. Last month, Tkachenko expressed hope that all of Ukraine's churches would agree to celebrate Christmas on Dec. 25. Until now, all major churches in majority-Orthodox Ukraine followed the Julian calendar, which celebrates Christmas on Jan. 7.
☆ Christmas joy and anger for rival Orthodox churches in historic Kyiv monastery
  + stars: | 2023-01-07 | by ( Max Hunder | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +6 min
It has become a focus of a bitter conflict between Ukraine's Orthodox communities, triggered by Russia's invasion. Members of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU), Ukraine's largest, piled into the cathedral's ornate interior on Saturday, to hear the first ever Ukrainian-language service in the cathedral. Ukraine's Orthodox Church, in its various iterations, has been subordinate to Moscow since the 17th century. The war, now in its eleventh month, has led many Ukrainians to rally round the OCU, which they see as more pro-Ukrainian than its rival, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC). That decision infuriated Russia's Orthodox Church, as Istanbul had previously recognised the UOC, then under Moscow's rule, as the legitimate Ukrainian church.
☆ Thousands of Hasidic Jews defy travel warnings by making New Year pilgrimage to war-torn Ukraine
  + stars: | 2022-09-25 | by ( Joshua Zitser | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Hasidic Jews make an annual pilgrimage to Uman, a central Ukrainian city, during Rosh Hashanah. This year, thousands are traveling to Uman despite warnings not to, The New York Times reported. Earlier this month, the Embassy of Ukraine in Israel urged those intending to travel for the pilgrimage not to. The US also warned against traveling to Ukraine for any purpose, explicitly advising US citizens not to travel to Uman for the Jewish new year. Central Ukraine, The Times noted, is not currently as dangerous as cities in the east.
