"Before 2014, few people sang the national anthem, apart from ethnic Ukrainians. After 2014, everyone sang the national anthem. This is something that Vitaly Portnikov, a prominent Ukrainian journalist, pointed out to me. When he said, “Now everyone sings the national anthem,” I first thought he was speaking metaphorically, or poetically. But he meant it literally."
