There’s more to Ukrainian tradition than the Holodomor, Stepan Bandera and its tragic, bloody history. Here are some pictures taken in Ukraine before the Russian invasion that helped me appreciate that country’s architectural traditions. A culture that can create such beauty is worth preserving and defending.

I hope all these structures survive the current war, along with the people who cherish them.
