The University of St Andrews Hosts the Scottish Premier of ‘Eurodonbas’
Natalie discusses the movie “Eurodanbas” and how it aims to raise awareness about social and economic issues in Ukraine.
Although I am in my fourth year at St Andrews, I know full well that I have been inadequately engaged with the opportunities available. Yes, I’ll collect as many leaflets as my coat pockets will allow and I’ll take pictures of the posters by coffee shops. That being said, my attendance at these events is a real rarity. In fact, it’s non-existent. The immediate excitement of discovering a new event is eventually met by the melancholic cycle of fishing out these month-old bits of paper from my pockets. I just grew more and more frustrated with myself when I missed these events. Finally, I knew it was time to change.
Thankfully, I came to this realisation before the invitation to the Scottish premier of ‘Eurodonbas’ (2022) flew into my inbox. My Russian studies got me onto the invite list and on 25th October, I successfully attended the screening at Sally’s Quad. This documentary film, directed by Kornii Hrytsiuk and produced by Anna Palenchuk, explores the common histories between the Ukrainian Donbas region and Europe. Since Russia invaded Ukraine on 24th February, much of our attention has been drawn to this part of the world. Yet, many of us are completely ignorant to the historical connections between Europe and Donbas.
Although almost certainly translated poorly by myself, in an interview with Ukrinform, Hrytsiuk said: ‘For us it is important to show the film in Europe, despite the fact that it was made for Ukrainian viewers. The Donbas myths and stereotypes that were fed to Soviet citizens make up the plot of this film. And it is just now that we are tearing up these connections with the empire and returning to the Western world.’ And Hrytsiuk shares his wishes for the film’s potential impact: ‘we hope that this film and discussions surrounding it in Europe will be noticed, attract attention, and that the media will help to promote economic, military, and institutional aid to Ukraine.’
In the early minutes of the film, the attractive coal of the region is shown in all of its abundance. Even at the point of filming, a forest wanderer certainly did not struggle to find layers of coal in some raised earth. This resource led to the European industrialization of Donbas and is the central narrative of the documentary. Naturally, the British connection to this history is of particular interest to me. In 1870, Welsh engineer and businessman, John Hughes moved across the seas to build a metallurgical plant and rail factory in eastern Ukraine. In honour of the factory’s founder, the industrial town was named Yuzovka and this town would grow and develop into modern-day Donetsk which continues to produce great quantities of steel and coal.
This historical connection to Europe and beyond is not limited to the story of John Hughes. Belgium, France, Germany, and Switzerland all invested their own capital in the industrial and economic development in the Donbas region in the 19th and 20th centuries. The footage and historic archives of photographs from these regions astounded me. I noticed my attention being distracted from the English subtitles as I gaped at the individual examples of European architecture strewn across these various regions. One surprising German addition to Ukraine is the small town of New York and whilst there are whispers that the name was to please an American wife, others think it originates from Jork in Northern Germany.
In essence, ‘Eurodonbas’ showcases these historic trails of foreign investment across the whole region. Although I kept the horrors of the ongoing conflict at the back of my mind whilst watching the whole film, the conclusion of the film simply broke my heart. The screen fades to black and the audience is informed that since production concluded, most of the buildings had been destroyed and many of those interviewed were unresponsive. I was devastated by this news, yet I was grateful for the film’s preservation of this rich architectural history.
Viewers at the St Andrews premier were treated to something really special. The organisers of this event, including one faculty member directly involved in the film, arranged a Q&A session with Hrytsiuk and Palenchuk. Prior to the screening we were sadly reminded of the difficult situation in the country. Whilst Anna Palenchuk was safely on standby in Canada, Kornii Hrytsiuk remained in Kyiv where electricity shortages could prevent the session. Luck was very much on our side as Kornii arrived on the call and the session could continue as planned.
From my perspective, the most intriguing point of discussion was how the filmmakers overcame the endless hurdles that arose. A major stylistic feature of the film is the use of animation of photographs to represent the narrative information. Anna explained that given the film’s low budget, they were unable to create full animations. Their solution was to bring pre-existing photographs from the archives to bring this history to life. These animated photographs complemented the scenic drone footage and interviews and really added to the film’s individual expression of the history.
Although I am sure it has been made clear, I feel that I have learned so much from this film. Moreover, the experience of joining together with other members of the university to share this was incredible and inspiring. I know many of us, myself included, find it easy to get frustrated with academic pressures that come with being an active student, but having engaged further, I felt revitalised in my subject. Exams are slowly approaching all of us, but I urge anyone who has the time to seek out these events and make the most of you time here.

Brands that manufacture chronometer watches
Understanding COSC Validation and Its Importance in Watchmaking
COSC Accreditation and its Stringent Criteria
COSC, or the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Agency, is the official Switzerland testing agency that certifies the precision and accuracy of wristwatches. COSC accreditation is a symbol of excellent craftsmanship and dependability in chronometry. Not all timepiece brands follow COSC certification, such as Hublot, which instead follows to its proprietary strict criteria with movements like the UNICO calibre, reaching equivalent precision.
The Science of Exact Chronometry
The core system of a mechanical timepiece involves the mainspring, which supplies power as it loosens. This system, however, can be susceptible to environmental elements that may impact its precision. COSC-validated movements undergo demanding testing—over fifteen days in various conditions (five positions, 3 temperatures)—to ensure their durability and dependability. The tests evaluate:
Mean daily rate precision between -4 and +6 seconds.
Mean variation, maximum variation rates, and effects of thermal changes.
Why COSC Accreditation Matters
For timepiece fans and connoisseurs, a COSC-validated timepiece isn’t just a item of technology but a demonstration to lasting quality and precision. It symbolizes a watch that:
Provides excellent dependability and accuracy.
Provides assurance of quality across the entire construction of the watch.
Is apt to retain its value more efficiently, making it a smart investment.
Popular Timepiece Brands
Several famous brands prioritize COSC validation for their watches, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, presents collections like the Record and Soul, which showcase COSC-accredited mechanisms equipped with cutting-edge materials like silicon balance springs to enhance durability and performance.
Historic Background and the Development of Timepieces
The notion of the chronometer dates back to the need for precise timekeeping for navigational at sea, highlighted by John Harrison’s work in the 18th century. Since the formal foundation of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the validation has become a benchmark for evaluating the precision of luxury timepieces, sustaining a tradition of superiority in horology.
Conclusion
Owning a COSC-accredited watch is more than an aesthetic choice; it’s a dedication to excellence and precision. For those appreciating accuracy above all, the COSC accreditation provides peace of thoughts, guaranteeing that each certified watch will operate reliably under various conditions. Whether for personal contentment or as an investment decision, COSC-validated watches distinguish themselves in the world of horology, carrying on a legacy of careful chronometry.
