Lina Kostenko β A Voice That Never Broke
She never wrote "convenient" texts. She wasnβt afraid to call things by their names. She didnβt chase fame, yet she became the voice of an era.
Lina Kostenko is more than just a poet. She is a symbol of resilience, honesty, and true intellect. When the Soviet regime tried to silence her, she chose silence over lies. Her books were banned for 16 years, but she never compromised her principles.
Today, her poetry feels propheticβabout war, about the strength of the human spirit, about Ukraine, which is always fighting but never giving up.
"Nations donβt die from heart attacks. First, they lose their language." 9 replies

Kyiv Cake
The history of this cake began in 1956 at the Kyiv Confectionery Factory (now "Roshen"). According to legend, its creation was the result of a mistake when confectioners accidentally left egg whites for a sponge cake overnight, and they crystallized. Instead of throwing them away, the chefs decided to experiment β and thus, the crispy meringue-nut layers, which became the cake's signature feature, were born.
The classic Kyiv Cake has two main flavors:
- Crispy nutty meringue layers (usually made with cashews or hazelnuts).
- "Charlotte" buttercream, made with condensed milk.
While not the oldest dish in Ukrainian cuisine, it has long become a part of it. Kyiv Cake is a symbol of the city, and for many tourists, it is a must-try gastronomic souvenir. 7 replies
