– named after Kyiv-based Molodist Film Fest’s non-competition section, established in 2001 – is eyeing a summer slot.
“It’s essential to talk about queer people in the army. They are out there, fighting. Lately, especially since the start of the invasion, many military volunteers and others [involved in the fight] have been publicly coming out. As queer, gay, bisexual, trans,” he said, also mentioning Ukraine’s association LGBT Military, established in 2018 by Viktor Pylypenko, an openly gay veteran of the Donbas volunteer battalion.
“Later, there were voices – mostly on the far-right – claiming that we weren’t a part of this struggle. Which is why now, we are finally saying: ‘We are here, we are queer and we are defending this country as much as anyone else.’” “As a country that has been colonized, Ukraine had its culture repressed. And the first culture that’s usually repressed is the queer culture. You don’t know a lot about queer culture in Ukraine, right? Not because it didn’t exist, but because it was erased,” he said to the audience.

History As It Happens: When Ukraine Had NukesWhen Ukraine acceded to Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1994, the country’s leaders fulfilled a vow they had made as soon as Ukraine became an independent state in 1991. Ukraine would relinquish the thousands of nuclear warheads and intercontinental ballistic missiles on its territory – it’s “nuclear inheritance” after the collapse of the USSR. Looking back at that decision through the lens of Russia’s invasion one year ago, some observers now contend that Ukraine made a mistake by voluntarily ceding its potential nuclear deterrence, although Ukraine never had independent operational command and control over the weapons. Moreover, as political scientist and nuclear historian Mariana Budjeryn demonstrates in her new book, “Inheriting the Bomb,” the majority of Ukrainian political and military leaders in the early 1990s viewed holding onto the nukes as more dangerous than it might be worth. In this episode, Budjeryn discusses the momentous events and decisions that resulted in Ukraine transferring all its nuclear weapons to Russia to be dismantled. She illuminates an important chapter in international relations that left Ukraine in a diplomatic and political no man’s land from which it could not completely extract itself over the next 30 years.
