The Philosophy of Two Identities in Ukraine: Normativism and Positivism
Historical Introduction Some Ukrainians, scarred by the trauma of war, say: “We will never again have anything to do with Russians.” But many also recall the experience of the 1920s–30s, when Poles carried out a cultural genocide against Ukrainians in Galicia. This later led to a response — a real and bloody genocide committed by Ukrainians in the 1940s, known as the Volhynia Massacre or Volhynian Tragedy. Yet since 1991, every Ukrainian president has visited Western Ukraine or Poland to offer apologies, calling the events a “tragedy.” In turn, during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Poland received nearly a million Ukrainian refugees.

Apple's Rise
Let’s go back to the 1970s — when pants were flared, hair was big, and computers were the size of small refrigerators. In a little garage in Los Altos, California, two guys with bad haircuts and brilliant minds were tinkering with wires, circuits, and what looked suspiciously like a microwave. Those two guys? Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. The company? Apple.

Title: “A Cup of Tea and an Empty Chair”
It was almost 11 p.m. when my phone buzzed. A name flashed on the screen—one I hadn’t seen in months. My fingers paused. For a second, I just stared at the screen, wondering if I should even answer. But my heart had already decided before my brain could catch up.
