​​Lina Kostenko, a genius Ukrainian poetess and writer, turns | Foreign ХаМ: Харьков Мой

​​Lina Kostenko, a genius Ukrainian poetess and writer, turns 92 today. Apart from her literary work, Lina has been the voice of the Ukrainian nation over the decades. Under the Soviet totalitarian regime, she was banned for standing up for her compatriots and telling the truth. Lina was silenced for many years but never stopped creating masterpieces.

Now, in 2022, when the world's freedom is at stake, Lina's words remind us of the human values we all need to protect.

Her life has many times proven that to keep fighting for something you have faith in is the best choice you can ever make as a human.

We hope Lina is safe and pass congratulations to her
