Bedeutung
The ocean appearing blue
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Blue Sea' is a staple of Ukrainian folk songs (pisni) and epic poems (dumy). It often represents the vast distance between a Cossack and his home. Despite its name, the Black Sea is often described as 'синє' in literature to emphasize its beauty and clarity on sunny days, contrasting with its 'black' name. In the context of Crimea, the blue sea is a symbol of the lost homeland for many displaced people, often appearing in modern nostalgic art. The 'Blue Sea' is often the location of the mythical island of Buyan, a place of magic and the source of all weather.
