[Image ID: An old gentleman saluting to his army of five giant bottles of handmade moonshine. The bottles salute back with the latex gloves they wear as stoppers, ballooned with the excess gas produced during the brewing. The Ukrainian text on the picture says, "Love those philosophers: bottles". The phrase contains a pun in Ukrainian, as the word for "bottle" - "sloik" - sounds similar to the word "stoic," referring to the philosophic school of Stoicism. My translation uses the English word "decanters" which is meant to refer to Cartesianism, the philosophical system of Rene Descartes... it's the best I could do here, sorry. /End ID]

Bro my "haters" send rockets and drones to my country every single day idk how to care tbh-

Famous Ukrainian poet and artist Taras Shevchenko befriended the African-American Shakespearean actor Ira Aldridge, while the latter was on tour to the Russian Empire in 1858. Shevchenko did his portrait in pastel. It is recounted that the two men got along very well. While posing for the portrait, Aldridge sang African-American songs to Shevchenko and in return, the artist taught him Ukrainian songs.
