The trend of the day

Battle over a dish. Unesco has decided to include Ukrainian borsch on the list of its intangible world heritage, considering that the war threatened the “viability” of this traditional dish. “The existence of this soup in itself is certainly not in danger in itself, but it is the human and living heritage associated with borsch which is in immediate danger because the ability of populations to practice, to pass on their intangible cultural heritage is seriously disrupted because of the armed conflict, in particular because of the forced displacement of the communities”, explained the rapporteur of the evaluation committee of the Ukrainian file.

“Victory is ours in the borsch war,” rejoiced Ukrainian Culture Minister Oleksandr Tkatchenko, just after UNESCO’s decision to include this traditional dish in the intangible cultural heritage of humanity. On the other hand, the decision goes much worse on the Russian side. “If there is a need to explain to the world what contemporary Kievan nationalism is, I will mention this fact: hummus and rice pilaf are recognized as the national dishes of several countries. But, as I understand it, Ukrainianization applies to everything. What will it be next? Pigs will be recognized as a Ukrainian national product? Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova wrote on Telegram.
