A Kyiv journalist discovered Russian borscht in the USA
Ukrainian borscht, recently included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List, has found its way onto the menu of Russian cuisine in Alaska.
Kiev journalist Anton Rosenvain, who lives in the United States, spoke about this in his blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Rosenwein, borscht is served in restaurants in Alaska as a dish of Russian cuisine, despite the UNESCO decision.
“This would be impossible in Massachusetts,” Rosenwein commented on his own photographs.
Let us remind you that the culture of preparing Ukrainian borscht was included in the UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Protection.
“The Intergovernmental Committee noted that “the armed conflict has jeopardized the viability of this element. The movement of people and carriers threatens the element, as people are unable not only to cook or grow local vegetables for borscht, but also to gather together to practice this tradition, which undermines the social and cultural well-being of communities,” UNESCO said.
We also note that from July 1799 to October 1867, Alaska and the adjacent islands were part of the Russian Empire.
