Not all the peoples of Europe have such a revering attitude to national culture, traditions and customs, as Ukrainians do. Up until the current turmoil, Ukraine was always a popular location for painters to depict. The landscapes have been an inspiration for many generations of artists,

The war continues. Today there was another attack on Ukraine. 635 drones and 35 missiles. While the whole world is preparing to celebrate Christmas
The collegium was founded in 1700. Its founder was the church leader, educator, and writer Ioan Maksymovych. The institution was supported by the then Hetman of Ukraine, Ivan Mazepa.
The curriculum included Latin, Polish, and Greek languages, as well as history, geography, mathematics, and philosophy. The students were mostly children of the Cossack officer class (the starshyna) and wealthy townspeople (burghers) from Left-Bank Ukraine. It was the first higher-level educational institution in Left-Bank Ukraine. In 1776, the collegium was transformed into a theological seminary, which existed until 1917.
After the Bolsheviks came to power in the country, and up to the present day, the building has been used as a museum. It is currently considered one of the monuments of 17th-century Ukrainian Baroque architecture.
Since I photographed this building from the side, it visually appears to be a small church. In reality, the building is quite large. You can appreciate its full scale in the Wikipedia image here: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a9/%D0%A7%...

I wasn't in the Macro Mondays group back on January 24, 2022, so I'm happy to have the chance to submit this stamp macro of a first day cover
Ukrainian flags join the American and D.C. flags along Pennsylvania Avenue. Traditionally, country flags are placed on these lamppost when a foreign head of state comes to D.C. Now, the flag is in support of Ukraine after the Russian invasion.
I rarely get political but given the state of affairs over in Europe (again) I thought I'd just show some support for Ukraine. Europe already started two world wars. I do not want them to start another one.
The United States has done a lot of stupid, stupid, stupid things over the last 200 years or so, but what Russia is doing in March of 2022 is one of the dumbest things I've seen in my lifetime. What does Putin and his goons expect to gain from this?
I grew up as a kid in the 1970s and was taught to be afraid of the Soviet Union and communism, and I feared the government, not the people.
I have lived through the US invading other countries for no logical reason, I've seen the US overthrow democratically elected presidents, elect an orange buffoon, and many, many, many other things I wish hadn't happened.

if you support Russia, please kindly unfollow me and rethink your life.
