"All we are saying is, give peace a chance..."

Perhaps some of you merely knew Ukraine from its other things: its deep culture, delicious food, warm locals, splendid nature. Some, though, may understand its architectural roots and political history; CNN described the country as "a former Soviet nation struggling to find its identity between Russia and western Europe", though they acknowledged it as a hidden gem. And it is.

In this month's Signpost issue, aligning with the themes of the other articles, we present some high-quality pictures of the Ukrainian landscape, before the ongoing 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, arranged poetically. Perhaps this classic song can be a good companion while scrolling through this. Indeed, the message still holds true. May peace be given a chance.

What a great way to take an unfortunate situation a use it to remind folks of the beauty in the world. Much appreciated. Ckoerner (talk) 16:55, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Quite striking is that at least half of these pictures are buildings. Even though Ukraine is no longer part of Russia, the Russian influence in architecture is clear. Minkai (boop that talk button!-contribs-ANI Hall of Fame) 14:41, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
