Editor’s Note: The following is the English-language transcript of Hromadske Radio’s “Ukraine Calling” program on Jan. 27, interviewing historian and writer Yuri Poliakiwsky on the Centenary of the Ukrainian Independence and the the Day of Unity on Jan. 22.
Hello and welcome to this week’s episode of Ukraine Calling. I’m Oksana Smerechuk for Hromadske Radio in Kyiv. Here you can listen to our feature interview with a guest radio host, followed by some new music from Ukraine. This week we have Yuri Poliakiwsky talking to Bohdan Nahaylo. We’ll hear from his perspective as a historian, on the Celebration that Wasn’t, or, on why the Day of Unity on Jan. 22 this year was actually a much bigger celebration than Ukrainians let on.
