"Tini zabutykh predkiv" (Ukrainian: Тіні забутих предків, pronounced [ˈt⁽ʲ⁾in⁽ʲ⁾i zɐˈbutɪx ˈprɛdkiu̯]), better known in English as "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors", is a song by Ukrainian singer Alina Pash. The song was scheduled to represent Ukraine at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, after winning Vidbir 2022, Ukraine's national final. However, following controversy surrounding Pash's status as a legitimate participant of Vidbir, she ultimately withdrew. The replacement entry, "Stefania" by Kalush Orchestra, ultimately went on to win the contest.
