Russian culture and its institutions are now being actively excluded from cultural events, educational and scientific projects all over the world. In Ukraine, streets and metro station names are being changed, monuments are being removed, and the removal of Russian literature from the school literature curriculum is being discussed. Is "Great Russian" culture dangerous and toxic? Does it give birth to monsters of the ideology of "Russian Peace"? How did the "normalization" of cruelty and total inhumanity happen? How should Ukrainians and Russians themselves understand the Russian symbolic universum by now that the war is going on?
