A few years ago, the Russian government decided to apply the Ukrainian national dish.
The culinary culture of Ukrainian borscht is included in the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage in need of immediate protection. This decision was made on July 1 at an extraordinary meeting of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Ukraine’s Minister of Culture and Information Policy Oleksandr Tkachenko called the UNESCO decision “a victory in the war for borscht”.
“The battle for borscht began even before the war. And no matter how much Zakharova (spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry – ed.) Said that” cooking books are banned, and the recipe is kept secret and not allowed to cook “and in general our borscht is“ a manifestation of extremism and Nazism ”, this“ manifestation of extremism ”is now officially Ukrainian and officially under the protection of UNESCO,” he said.
Zakharova said that the main reason for the “special operation” of the Russian Federation was the question of the nationality of borscht.pic.twitter.com/q74Jt7dEM5

In March 2021, Ukraine proposed to UNESCO that the “culture of borscht cooking” be included in the list of the intangible culture of mankind. A decision about this should be made in 2023, but due to the war in Ukraine, UNESCO decided to quickly consider the Ukrainian application for inclusion in another list – a list of cultural heritage that requires immediate protection.
As indicated today on the UNESCO website, the culinary culture of Ukrainian borscht dates back centuries and has been passed down to Ukrainian families from generation to generation; this dish is celebrated with fairies, folk songs and sayings, and is also an important sign of identity.
“Borscht is a symbol of hospitality that unites people at the table, regardless of their age, gender and profession,” the organization said in a statement.
At the same time, it was noted that the culture of cooking borscht was in danger after the start of the war in Ukraine – due to the forced transfer of those carrying traditions from cultural contexts, as well as the destruction of agriculture, which leaving people. of access to products necessary for making borscht.
The national identity of borscht regularly causes controversy on social networks.
The Internet war that led to UNESCO’s decision today began in 2019 due to a tweet from the official account of the Russian Foreign Ministry, which says: “A timeless classic, borscht is one of the most popular and beloved Russian dishes and a symbol of national cuisine. ” Athletistic tells how social networks respond.
