Blood and Belonging

on BBC Two England

Michael Ignatieff continues his series on nationalism with a report from the Ukraine, where nationalists such as the poet
Mikola Horbal and government deputy, IrinaKalyinets, suffered imprisonment by the Soviet authorities. Now they are free and the Ukraine is facing up to an uncertain future as an independent state.
For Ignatieff, this trip to the Ukraine has special significance, for it is here in the village of Kroupodernitsa, that Ignatieff's great-grandfather built the church that still stands today. At the family grave in the church's vault, he discovers memorial slab which, during the Stalinist years, was removed to be used as a butcher's block. ProducerColin Thomas
