ABSTRACT

The goal of this study is to understand how Ukrainian cultural policy has developed in the context of Russian aggression against Ukraine. It examines new conceptualizations of cultural policy that appeared in Ukrainian public discourse after 2014 and the new legal solutions introduced under their influence. Reformers associated with the ‘independent cultural scene’ attempted to introduce a cultural policy model for managing cultural institutions based on liberal values and transparent, inclusive, and competitive principles. However, those in power, who were operating in the face of both an internal crisis and external threat, began to implement a cultural policy that was based on conservative values and subordinated to ensuring national security. The study’s principal thesis is that the resulting hybrid model facilitated dismantling of the Soviet cultural management model, strengthening local cultural industries and communities and actively countering hostile Russian activities in the field of culture. The activities of the the newly created and radically reformed institutions, such as the National State Film Agency, Ukrainian Institute, and Ukrainian Cultural Foundation have facilitated forming a greater self-awareness of Ukrainians as a political community, and mobilized them to fight for the integrity of the Ukrainian state. They have also had a tangible impact on international recognition of Ukrainian culture as independent of Russian culture, which was crucial in gaining international support in the conditions of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

摘要

本研究的目的是了解乌克兰文化政策在俄罗斯侵略乌克兰的背景下是如何发展的。它审视了 2014 年后乌克兰公共话语中出现的文化政策的新概念，以及在其影响下引入的新法律解决方案。与“独立文化场景”相关的改革者试图引入一种文化政策模型，以基于自由价值观和透明、包容和竞争的原则来管理文化机构。然而，面对内部危机和外部威胁的当权者开始实施基于保守价值观并从属于确保国家安全的文化政策。该研究的主要论点是，由此产生的混合模式促进了苏联文化管理模式的瓦解，加强了当地文化产业和社区，并积极打击俄罗斯在文化领域的敌对活动。国家电影局、乌克兰研究所和乌克兰文化基金会等新成立和彻底改革的机构的活动促进了乌克兰人作为一个政治共同体形成更大的自我意识，并动员他们为诚信而战乌克兰国家。它们还对国际承认乌克兰文化独立于俄罗斯文化产生了切实影响，这对于在 2022 年 2 月俄罗斯全面入侵乌克兰的情况下获得国际支持至关重要。
