Preserving Ukraine’s Soul in Times of War: The Raphael Lemkin Society Featured in the Cultural Freedom Project Substack

The Raphael Lemkin Society is honored to contribute to our partner, the Penn Cultural Heritage Center’s Substack, dedicated to the Cultural Freedom Project.

The project defends cultural rights, access, and personal security in times of conflict. Through this platform, the team amplifies the voices of independent cultural organizations in Ukraine and Georgia—sharing their work, insights, and reflections with colleagues and allies around the world.

Read the latest contribution by our Digital Communication Manager, Viktoriia Savchuk Kennet, on how the Raphael Lemkin Society is using legal instruments to challenge Russia’s destruction of Ukrainian culture as an act of genocide. The article underscores that Russia’s war targets not only territory but also Ukraine’s identity, memory, and future.
