If the state is not built on culture, then it will not have that powerful spiritual development. Culture is the source and pillar on which civilization must rest. And we are actually investigating this ancient Hutsul culture, which dates back many, many thousands of years before our era. We conduct scientific and artistic expeditions, explore the history of our Carpathian mountains, and paint pictures from there. We want to reveal to the world that indisputable tradition that can change Europe and the whole world. This is very important, we must know that we are a great nation with a deep tradition and great culture. We should not bow our heads to Europe, but they should understand that there is a great tradition and a great culture here, and this is very important.”
