Zino Davidoff, a renowned Ukrainian-Swiss tobacconist and the founder of the Davidoff luxury brandThe photograph shows him standing in front of his cigar shop in Geneva, Switzerland. Zino Davidoff's father, Henri Davidoff, a tobacco merchant, opened a tobacco shop in Geneva in 1911 after the family fled Ukraine. Zino later took over the business and was instrumental in its growth. He is credited with several innovations in the cigar industry, including the invention of the desktop humidor. During World War II, he famously acquired the cigar stock from Paris to protect it from the invading forces, which cemented his reputation as a key figure in the European tobacco trade. The Davidoff brand, now owned by Oettinger Davidoff AG, has expanded beyond cigars to include a range of luxury products such as fragrances, leather goods, and accessories.

Postcard from Lesya Ukrainka to her brother Mykola and sisters Oksana and IsidoraI'm already leaving for Switzerland. I'll write tomorrow or the day after. My plans are all the same as in the letter to my father. I feel well, otherwise I wouldn't have gone. Write to me poste restante, because it's boring without news from you. I kiss everyone. I don't write to Lily and mother, because I don't know where they are. Lesya Lili did write, but mother doesn't like postcards, and there's no way to write a letter now. I really ask my father to come to terms with Kobylyanska's essays. Were they accepted by the "K[iev] Star[aryna]"? The author asks, but I don't know.

Пантелеймон Куліш у шапціPanteleimon Kulish (1819–1897) was a key figure in the Ukrainian cultural revival. He authored the first Ukrainian historical novel, The Black Council (1857), and worked as a publisher and editor (including the journal Osnova), as well as an ethnographer and historian.

He hailed from the then Chernihiv Governorate (now Sumy Oblast).

Band New Order performing live in New York in 1981 at the Ukrainian National HomeA New Beginning: This performance was part of New Order’s first U.S. tour, staged a little over a year after Joy Division singer Ian Curtis’s death. It marked a crucial step in the band’s transition and the beginning of their effort to define an identity separate from their previous group. Musical Evolution: On this tour, New Order moved beyond Joy Division’s post‑punk austerity, embracing synthesizers and propulsive rhythms. In New York they unveiled an early, unreleased ten‑minute version of Temptation, drawing rave reviews and cementing their reputation at the forefront of post‑punk. Video Recording: The show—performed in 1981 in New York City—was filmed by Michael Shamberg and later released on VHS as Taras Shevchenko, capturing the band in a raw, transitional phase and becoming a vital document of their early career. The Ukrainian National Home’s name—and the portrait of poet Taras Shevchenko hanging behind the stage—were prominently displayed, underscoring the venue’s cultural co

The palace complex was built with a blend of Ottoman, Persian, and Italian architectural styles. It originally included a mosque, a harem, a cemetery, living quarters, and gardens.

A Tartar House in the Village of AlupkaThe Crimean Tatar people have a rich cultural history, with their architecture showing influences from Islamic and Turkic motifs. The most prominent example is the Bakhchysarai Palace, the former capital of the Crimean Khanate. This palace, which served as a political and cultural center, is the world's only preserved example of Crimean Tatar palace architecture. After the so called "russian federation" annexation of Crimea and the subsequent deportations in 1944, much of the Crimean Tatar cultural heritage was destroyed. However, artists and activists have been working to revive and preserve Crimean Tatar arts and traditions.
