According to her papa, \"Red symbolizes love, while black signifies sadness.\" However, Mama cautions Zlata not to flaunt her attire, emphasizing the importance of keeping it hidden. The arrival of the Communists from Russia to Ukraine marked a dark period in the country's history, where the teaching of Ukrainian culture was strictly prohibited. This prohibition intensified during the Ukrainian Famine-Genocide of the 1930s, as the Communists even stripped Zlata's family of their precious grain fields. Despite the imminent danger, Zlata's parents remained steadfast in their commitment to preserving their art, language, and beliefs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Zlata actively works to support her community in surviving the hardships, she discovers that the dream of freedom resonates deeper within the Ukrainian spirit than she could have ever imagined. Drawing inspiration from her grandparents' firsthand experience of the Famine-Genocide, Maslo weaves a poignant tale that challenges us to remember the pain of the past while also shaping the present conflict in Ukraine and fostering hope for a brighter future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 376g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 286 x 227 x 12 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780374391218\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lina Maslo","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":45343580422394,"sku":"9780374391218","price":11.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1710175363301_book.jpg?v=1710409872","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/threads-zlatas-ukrainian-shirt-9780374391218","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
