    Ian Buruma

    To those who espouse universal humanism, banning great works of art associated with an enemy country is never a good idea, given its narrowing, provincializing effect. But in the case of Ukraine, this kind of cultural chauvinism is essential to resisting Russia’s forced embrace.
