stas and marichka. how and why most foreign media got ukraine wrong?

s1e9: If only there was a collection of digestible, cool, smart mini-guides to Ukraine that we could all share to educate our foreign friends in foreign languages, right? Stas Olenchenko and Marichka Buchelnikova, the founders of Ukraine Explainers, are on a mission to do exactly that. We asked them how it happened that most foreign media systemically misrepresented Ukraine for decades and ended up covering Ukrainians through Russian colonial lenses. Stas and Marichka also shared the most popular Ukraine topics in need of decolonizing and tips on how to do Ukraine explaining right.
