Hi!
Today I want to tell you about a project I absolutely admire. Kyiv symbols in the form of bronze mini-sculptures. It is called Shukai (Look for - in English).
Its creator is a famous Ukrainian guide (or manager of Kyiv, as she likes to introduce herself), Yulia Bevzenko. She says on her website:
I made up this project for the Kyiv's citizens to walk around the city without a guide, just by themselves, with family or friends, to find the sculptures and talk about them with city visitors.
At the moment, there are 39 mini-sculptures in different locations in Kyiv. On the project's Instagram page, you can see all of them.
In May, Yulia will open the 40th mini-sculpture. I wonder what it would be.
So I decided to find all of them. And today, it was one in Podil (an ancient part of Kyiv).
- I want you to come to Kyiv one day and maybe try to look for the mini-sculptures yourself.
I will be sharing the pictures and stories of them on Twitter and Spoutible from time to time. Maybe even write you letters featuring some interesting sculptures.
Ok. So today's bronze beauty is Palianytsia. 
It is the 38th mini-sculpture.
Palianytsia is Ukrainian bread. At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, palianytsia was a kind of password because russians could not pronounce such a simple Ukrainian word. The russian pronunciation 'polyanitsa' has become the basis for many memes and jokes.
Address: Naberezhno-Khreschatyska str. 1, the facade of Hotel Fairmont (lifehack from me: you can easily find the mini-sculpture near the main entrance).

I hope that you liked this short story. Also, I want to share two pictures I took today in Podil. They are filled with Easter spirit (tomorrow is Easter in Ukraine).
Despite the atrocities of the war, we are brave enough to bake paskha (Easter cake), dance on the streets, smile, and say proudly:
- We are Ukrainians.
russians may deny it, don't like it, and try to destroy everything we have. But we are survivors; we are warriors.
That's all for today. Thank you for reading my letters. Someday they might be part of history. And you will say: oh yes, I got some in my email box. The letters from Ukraine.
And if you find my letters interesting/useful/whatever - you might bring me a smile by buying some warcoffee or joining membership (if you haven't yet). It's my wartime support.
Hugs,
Yara (or Yaroslava)
