Ukrainian history teacher Vitalii Dribnytsia engages with Russians on Chatroulette to educate them about Ukraine’s history and challenge their misconceptions. His provocative approach seeks to correct the narrative that suggests Ukraine is a creation of the Soviet Union, highlighting facts such as the historical struggles for Ukrainian independence. Over the last three years, these online conversations have led to a significant following on his YouTube channel, where he posts discussions aimed at dispelling misinformation and reinforcing Ukrainian identity amidst ongoing conflict.
"To us, the man replied without hesitation. What followed was a dizzying exchange on the historical roots of Ukraine and Russia, Ukraine's war of independence from 1917 to 1921, and the Ukrainian language."
"Mr. Dribnytsia, a former middle school and high school teacher, has had conversations with random Russians over the past three years of war, seeking to challenge the Kremlin's narrative on Ukrainian identity."
