As part of the Babylon Villeneuve<\/em> project, we are delighted to invite you to a special screening of the documentary series “Defending Identity, Culture, and Freedom”<\/em> at Cin\u00e9ma Studio 28<\/em> in Paris’s 18th arrondissement!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This documentary anthology<\/strong>, produced by the renowned Ukrainian collective Babylon\u201913<\/em>, offers a fresh perspective on Ukrainian society during wartime.<\/p>\n

For centuries, Russia has used its art as a soft power tool to spread propaganda<\/strong> and enhance the image of a country that acts as a true terrorist state. For decades, Russia and the Soviet Union systematically persecuted Ukrainian culture, language, and intelligentsia for colonial purposes<\/strong>, brutally repressing Ukrainian poets, artists, and musicians. Their goal has always been to deprive Ukrainians of their identity, language, and freedom<\/strong>, while imposing the idea that Ukrainian culture is merely a provincial offshoot of the so-called “great Russian culture.”<\/em><\/p>\n

While Russia continues to destroy Ukrainian cities classified as UNESCO World Heritage sites<\/strong> with strategic bomber strikes, it still wields culture as a tool of propaganda and manipulation<\/strong>. Through the arts, Russia attempts to whitewash its international image<\/strong>, concealing the reality of a state pursuing imperialist ambitions at the expense of the identities and freedoms of the peoples it oppresses.<\/p>\n

Babylon\u201913<\/em> deconstructs the myth that Russian civilization and its philosophy are grounded in humanism. On the contrary, they expose how it is based on the manipulation of a crumbling empire<\/strong> where human life is sacrificed without remorse<\/strong>. The documentary also shows how, in the midst of war, Ukrainians are fighting not only for their physical survival but also to protect and defend their identity and cultural values<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
