This long sleeve shows an illustration of a traditional ceramic rooster (pivnyk in Ukrainian). This rooster has become a symbol of Ukraine’s survival in the face of Russia’s invasion after it appeared in a photo from Borodianka, Kyiv Oblast, in April 2022.
The photo showed a ruined apartment building, where an entire room had been ripped away in a Russian strike. Just one wall with a kitchen cabinet remained intact. On top of that cabinet a ceramic rooster was still standing. The rooster is thought to have first been produced sometime around 1960 in a pottery factory in the nearby town of Vasylkiv.
This illustration is by Andrii Voloshyn and is part of a collaboration with the Kyiv Independent.

Story behind the illustration
In the first months of Russia's full-scale invasion, one image of a destroyed apartment building went viral for encapsulating Ukraine's resistance. The photo taken in April 2022 showed a ruined building in Borodianka in Kyiv Oblast, where an entire room had been ripped away in a Russian strike. Just one wall with a kitchen cabinet remained intact. On top of the cabinet, a ceramic rooster was miraculously still standing. The rooster is thought to have first been produced sometime around 1960 in a factory in the nearby town of Vasylkiv, and is based on traditional Ukrainian pottery.
