<i>Kairos</i> of resilience: Ukraine’s cultural response to Russia’s invasion
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this article, which blends aspects of scholarly inquiry, opinion writing, travel reporting, and exhibition critique, the author explores the new temporal condition of Ukrainian culture in a state of emergency during the Russo-Ukrainian war. Specifically, he focuses on the noticeable shift from a permanent to a transient mode of existence of artistic activities, which piqued his interest during his visit to Kyiv in summer 2023. He examines the experience of time amidst the war, its weaponization, and its role in the establishment of hegemony – subsuming the victim within the temporal regime of the aggressor. First, guided by Nikolai Bakhtin’s theoretical framework, he characterizes Russia’s temporal regime as emblematic of the epic time of the Absolute Past and proposes the dynamics of kairos as an effective subversion of the aggressor’s temporal modality. He then uses this theoretical framework to analyze the following cultural artifacts that he experienced firsthand during his visit: an exhibition by contemporary Ukrainian artist Zhanna Kadyrova at the Pinchuk Art Centre; the Module of Temporality by Balbek Bureau; and the Babyn Yar Synagogue by Swiss architect Manuel Herz.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
