The starting point of this program is the concept that your nation is where your graves are. Michael Ignatieff, the series presenter, stands by his great-grandfather’s grave, whose marble top still bears marks from when it was used as a butcher’s block in Stalin’s time. This program examines the emotional effects of the establishment—or re-establishment—of an independent Ukraine: the looming ghost of Stalin, the fear of clashes between the Church and independence-minded nationalists, and opinions on both sides on the imposition of the Ukrainian language.
