About Chervona Ruta (festival)
Chervona Ruta (Ukrainian: Червона рута) is a permanent biennial all-Ukrainian youth festival of contemporary song and popular music, which has been held every two years since 1989. It was a benchmark where more Ukrainian popular music was presented transitioning away from traditional Ukrainian folk culture associated with "sharovarshchyna" genre. Unlike the Soviet festival 'Song of the Year' (Russian: Песня года, romanized: Pesnya goda), where only a selected song from Ukraine sometimes was demonstrated, Chervona Ruta allowed more singers and songs.
