Summary/Abstract: The resurgence of interest in the 1960s Ukrainian cultural movement, known as the Sixtiers, is evident in the recent popularity of exhibitions, films, and books. This movement, characterized by its defiance against Soviet oppression and its embrace of Ukrainian identity, resonates strongly today. The exhibition “Alla Horska. Borivyter” in Kyiv attracted nearly 51,000 visitors, highlighting the enduring appeal of Horska’s work and the broader Sixtiers’ legacy. The movement’s emphasis on rediscovering Ukrainian cultural heritage and fostering a sense of national pride is particularly relevant in the context of ongoing conflict. The Sixtiers’ commitment to artistic and intellectual freedom, as well as their solidarity in the face of repression, offers valuable lessons for contemporary society. Their legacy continues to inspire new generations, underscoring the importance of cultural resilience and the fight for national identity.
