WHAT BORISTENE MEANS
BORISTENE takes its name from the ancient Greek term Borysthenes, used to describe the great Dnipro River, a historic waterway of Eastern Europe. It is both a geographical and cultural symbol, representing a landscape inhabited, traversed, and celebrated since antiquity.

OUR MISSION
Our mission is to engage with the Italian public, countering years of distorted information from Kremlin propaganda, and to showcase the real Ukraine, its values, and its cultural richness.

What we do
When the full-scale Russian invasion began, we were the first to organize an exclusive interview with President Zelenskyy on RAI Uno, Italy’s most-watched TV program. This helped Italians better understand Ukraine and challenge Russian propaganda.
We later served as producers for the Porta a Porta team’s visit to Kyiv, coordinating their work and accompanying journalists to Bucha and Irpin, allowing them to witness first-hand the consequences of the war.
Since then, Boristene has organized the Ukraine is Ukraine festival, as well as lectures, presentations, and other cultural events.
We continue to work on projects dedicated to Ukraine.
