About this listen

 In the context of World War I, Ukrainians viewed the conflict as a pivotal opportunity for national unity and liberation from the oppressive grips of both Austria-Hungary and the Russian Empire. Galicia became a contentious point for the Russian government, as Austria-Hungary granted Ukrainians the freedom to cultivate their national identity within its borders. This environment fostered a flourishing of Ukrainian patriotic literature, inspiring those living under the Russian regime to aspire for independence. In response to the looming war between the Russian Empire and Austria-Hungary, Ukrainians united in their resolve to prepare for a struggle that would define their quest for freedom.
