About this campaign
Kalyna (pronounced ?kah-li-nah) is the Ukrainian name for the Highbush Cranberry.
Some background info: Kalyna is thoroughly embedded in Ukrainian folklore, figuring prominently in many folk songs and sayings and frequently appearing as a motif in embroidery and traditional decorative art. It is especially noteworthy that the kalyna is revered as a potent national symbol expressive of Ukraine?s yearning for freedom. When a Cossack fell in battle while defending Ukraine, his comrades would lay him to rest in a burial mound, or mohyla, upon which they would plant a kalyna bush to honour his sacrifice. ?Chervona Kalyna,? or ?The Red Kalyna,? is a patriotic hymn first popularized by the Ukrainian Sich Rifleman in the tumult of the First World War and the struggle for Ukrainian independence. In the Second World War it once again served as the unofficial anthem of the Ukrainian liberation movement, inspiring members of the underground Ukrainian Insurgent Army. Today, Ukraine?s armed forces wear shoulder patches featuring kalyna berries.
