Mosaic art in Ukraine created during the Soviet period has been neglected and under the threat of destruction due to the indifference caused by the legacy of the political and cultural dominance of Russia. This study aims to identify and reclaim Ukrainian mosaic art created between the 1960s and 1990s as Ukrainian. To do so, I began with the following question: why are Soviet-era mosaics in Ukraine, particularly by Alla Horska and Viktor Zaretskyi, neglected and under the threat of destruction, and what impact has Russian propaganda had on the preservation and cultural perception of these artworks today? To further define my thesis, I posed four subsequent queries: what is the history and political context that influenced the evolution of mosaic art from its global origins to its development in Soviet era of Ukraine; who were the dominant mosaic artists during the Soviet period in Ukraine; in what ways did Ukrainian monumental artists, particularly Alla Horska and Viktor Zaretskyi, preserve and promote Ukrainian culture, thus opposing Soviet ideology; and what are the current issues related to the preservation and interpretation of mosaics in Ukraine created during the Soviet period. Central to the thesis is an examination of the monumental works of the Sixtiers movement, focusing on those created by Alla Horska and Viktor Zaretskyi, two pivotal figures of Ukrainian monumental art during the Soviet era. Their work serves as a crucial analysis of the artists of the monumental in Ukraine, particularly those who fought against the repressive regime and bear witness to the challenges faced in preserving Ukrainian culture. The study demonstrates how mosaics from the Soviet period in Ukraine were created, how they emphasize Ukrainian culture and identifies the current challenges facing the preservation and interpretation of the past. The findings suggest that Ukraine struggles to accept its cultural heritage of mosaics because of Russian propaganda and that propaganda led to equating the Soviet culture narrative with the Russian narrative, leading to the appropriation of many Ukrainian artists and their works. The concluding discussion explains the challenges facing Ukraine's mosaic heritage, particularly the ongoing Russian shellings, property owner vandalism, and government inaction. This study argues for the urgent need to identify and protect the cultural significance of Ukrainian mosaics of the Sixtiers, positioning them as integral to the nation’s cultural identity. This research advocates for recognizing and preserving a vital aspect of Ukraine's cultural history by reclaiming the narratives surrounding Ukrainian mosaics.
