In late October, the city council in Mukachevo, in Zakarpattia region, installed one of Ukraine’s most recognised symbols, the tryzub (trident) in the town’s landmark tenth-century Palanok castle. The tryzub, representing historical heroism, has extra weight in today’s Ukraine as the country fights for its sovereignty in the wake of Russia’s invasion. The trident, however, replaced a turul, a bronze eagle statue and symbol of Hungary’s history on the 14-metre pedestal.
