What will be the legacy of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine? In a new essay, the Ukrainian writer Andrey Kurkov reflects on the indelible consequences of war.
As a boy, I loved to travel to a village called Tarasivka near Kyiv, to the battlefields of the Second World War. We journeyed by train, with my best friend, Sasha Solovyov. We took with us folding “sapper” shovels to dig in the hills near the village. There you could easily find bullets and shells from machine guns and rifles. There were also fragments of grenades and buttons from uniforms.
After the war, of course, the ancient cultural layer will mix with the current one, or, more precisely, with a modern layer of “Russian culture.” But archeologists will find it easy to sort the artifacts. At least the finds with real value will not have the stamp “Made in the Russian Federation.”
