Thalia bookstore has 3 floors, but it cannot dedicate a separate shelf for Ukrainian literature. Every time I visit, Ukrainian books are labeled "Russian literature." After another request to separate them, the consultant said that in her opinion it would help to "reunite" Ukrainians and Russians.

There is a long history of attempts to destroy Ukrainian culture, including banning books and repressing writers and artists. More recently, on May 23, an attack on Kharkiv destroyed the largest printing house in Ukrainian, Factor-Druk, along with more than 50,000 books.
