In this episode Olena Dudko presents the story of Ukraine in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars and up until the Valuev Circular of 1863. With the Valuev Circular the use of Ukrainian language was practically banned within the Russian Empire, which at that time also included Ukraine. The law was passed because Russia felt threatened by the rise of Ukrainian identity and culture in the 19th century. In the episode Olena tells the story about how Ukrainian societies led by legendary figures such as Tarás Shevchenko, paved the way for the flourisment and development of Ukrainian identity.
