and there are also a lot of scandals , because we have a lot of unspeakable questions, so let's start: first of all, let's start with the good, let's start with a little bit of bad, but still good, and music streaming in ukraine started to announce their tops, what does this mean, people , who are subscribed to various streaming platforms to legally listen to music, well, listen to this music, it's all recorded and at the end of the year, all these streaming apple music, spotify, deazer and so on, they announce what you and i have listened to during the year and announce 50 hundred or one hundred the most popular songs in ukraine. what was the betrayal before the full-scale invasion, i think you've heard all about it, because almost all of these ratings, they were made up of russian music, specifically russian hookah rap, which, personally, i don't understand how you can s... listen, but it’s just that the vast

majority of these ratings consisted of these russian tracks, and the top ten in particular, after the full-scale invasion, of course the situation began to change, in particular on youtube, where it is also constantly in the top ten there were various russian bloggers whom ukrainians looked at for love, now, thank god, we have our own bloggers, there are quite a few of them, we are waiting for the rating from youtube, but let's now see what at least two ratings from apple music and spotify look like , well, the first ten in apple music, maala cirus is on the first place, then shumey, zlata ognivych, then like that, dorofeeva, parfenyuk, setsvit, velboy, samsmith, skovka, parfenyuk, again, that is, the top ten consists entirely of ukrainian performers, and well only from two. british-american, yes,

that is, eight ukrainian performers, two non- ukrainian. and the same situation with spotify, because there we see completely ukrainian artists in the top ten, however, if we talk a little further, for example about apple music, then already in the 17th place there was a little betrayal, i counted in the hundreds the most popular songs according to the version of apple music, 14 russian tracks and this is exactly the music that is mainly listened to by young people, teenagers, these are different instagram girls, you know for this music, after all, 14 tracks it remains, i don't know, i haven't decided for myself personally, it's more bad or good, because on the one hand it's cool that now we have a little more than 10 songs by russian artists, it's just a lot less than we had before that, but many people believe that russian music in general. should not be

in such streams neither in the first ten , nor in the first 50, nor in the hundred, in general, and if there is even one russian musician, or a female musician, this is already something bad, and you need to deal with it, you know, there is a popular the idea is that i don't like the youth, when they complain about the youth there, it's great in our country, but you know, you often hear from teenagers that they simply don't connect the war with culture, the war with music, and the biggest one is... .' the argument in favor of not listening to russian music on legal streams is, well, you pay them money, in fact, because there is a deduction, yes, to musicians for each viewing and listening , and this money goes to russia, to russian musicians, they they pay taxes there, and you know what the taxes are for, so no listen to all this, so let's move on to another news, you can laugh, so again about the good russians, because

three writers, one writer, two writers, wrote an official appeal, an official statement that they do not support any ukrainian military, nor russian soldiers who serve in ukraine, protect ukraine, and do not support, as they themselves wrote, terrorism, so we are talking about supposedly good writers opposed to the regime, this is lyudmila ulytska, this is volodymyr, volodymyr sorokin, volodymyr and viktor erofeev, these writers have been declaring for a long time that they hate this totalitarian regime, they are against it, they support ukraine, they are all abroad now and perform at various venues, they are invited, they are very popular and authoritative, and so it happened that an auction was taking place, and at this auction the auctioneers were free. russia, it was called, at the auction,

various things were sold, and which should have gone to the aid of these russians, in particular the military, who serve in the armed forces of ukraine, defend ukraine. well, they sold a book there with the autographs of these three writers, and then kisilyov, such a well-known propagandist, found out about it and made a story about it, and after this story, our three opposition authors were terribly frightened and made such a statement that they would save my god, they don't finance any terrorism, katya margolis wrote about it by the way, and i can call her a good russian. many ukrainians as well, because even those who are skeptical about it, in the end, because she, well, constantly, she consistent with her position , and i have never heard such similar statements from her, on the contrary, she stands very much in opposition to the actual russian opposition, and a lot of people

simply hate her because of this shuffling of theirs, because she prevents them from suffering and being victims of the regime , and here she wrote in her post that she was on very good terms with these... writers and it is very painful and insulting that they allowed themselves such moments, i will just say about two writers, but lyudmila olitska was shown, she is not like a long time ago, she made a little mistake, yes, when she and the same katya margolis discussed in berlin, there was such a meeting, kateryna moderated it all, many people came, and then lyudmila olitska, i said, they discussed that in her opinion russia is not yet waged some... truly large-scale wars, yes, which could somehow shake russian society, because in her opinion, what was happening on the periphery of the country did not matter so much, and here she also meant the war in to ukraine, the war in chechnya, the war in georgia, in her opinion, this is something

little that is happening on the periphery, margolis herself was a little indignant at the time, and as for vladimir sorokin, he also had a very good reputation among many ukrainians, in particular intellectuals, and they highly valued him for his two books, dystopias called sugar the kremlin and april fool's day, he depicted russia there in 2029, it is an isolated country, it is a satellite of china, so we see many prophecies there, really troubled times have come in that country, everything has returned to the cruel times of ivan the terrible, and the country is actually living, therefore ... what it serves as a transfer area for the transportation of chinese goods to europe, and yet they still sell gas, there is simply something, some kind of outrage, and here sorokin was respected for these books, they said that look how he could foresee all these moments even then, that will happen to russia, but

no, we see that it has also unfortunately fallen apart, and you see, at such moments, when it comes to the financing of the armed forces, all these russian liberals start to look away and say that no, no , we are terrorism we do not finance, i will remind you that they wrote so in their statement, well, well, many people were not, they were not surprised, absolutely, let’s now move on to the scandals that took place in ukraine, there were two of them this week, one such let's say it's a big scandal, and the second one is more of a scandal, let's start with this scandal, it's about dmytro feliksov, i think you heard him, he showed himself loudly enough ...' a little less, on the ukrainian book market, and here it is, this is the owner and founder of the relitika nova bookstore opened, and he was marked by a scandal even before the opening, because he decided to help him advertise his bookstore,

a well-known marketer, andriy federev, and he wrote a post in which, well, he said that ukrainians do not read , there were few bookstores and generally trouble-trouble, and here they ran over him and said, listen. andriyeva, you simply do not understand the ukrainian book market, because everyone reads normally, there are many bookstores, but researches say the opposite, sociological researches also say that what, for example, the head of the book institute says, well, in the end, when felixov opened his bookstore, everyone came there, it is very beautiful there, there are various beautiful furniture, and here he is now, then he said that he was just about to make a breakthrough to the book... market, which they say no one knows how to do it correctly , i know, and now he is on forbes, we can now show this article of his, his column, he wrote a column on forbes, which talked about his thoughts, how everything should be improved, and in particular he wrote about the fact that we have such

publishing houses are unscrupulous, they take, open their bookstores and sell their books in their bookstores, because they sell them on their websites and encourage people to buy books, precisely from the publishing house at the prices of the publishing house, and this, they say, is wrong, because you do not allow bookstores to live, you have to share with the distributors, and you have to give all the books to them, and that's where it started. because almost all the people who are professionally engaged in book publishing there, writers, translators, and people in the book industry in general, they began to scoff at the presumptuous dmytro feliksov, to say that he has no idea at all about the ukrainian book market, because it is somehow developing, previously bookstores in general, not ho, were very undeveloped, and large stores did not really want to buy books from publishers, and now a publishing house to get away with selling books and opening its own stores, and since dmytro does not know

all these processes, he, as my colleague, the editor of ukrainian pravda kultury, tetyana pushnova, said, is a neophyte in all this, and he is constantly trying to invent bicycle, and that's it, i liked this discussion, although probably dmitri didn't feel very good about it, but we just had another reason for all... our people from the book industry to get together and think about the questions, problems of our book industry industry and they started trying to somehow find, well, better options than it is now, and by the way, there were many such opinions that dmytro feliksov was promoting his bookstore in such a way, with such black pr, such constant scandals, i don’t know how effective it is, we'll see you have to go and see if there are queues to his bookstore, by the way, he... to open a whole range of bookstores, which will simply be the most popular in this country, well, okay, i, for example, am always in favor of

increasing bookstores by popularizing reading, any, almost, by almost any methods, and then i will also say something pleasant, today in the theater, in the young theater , the premiere of the musical cabaret starts, this is a musical that is probably considered the most expensive in the young theater, to me the artistic director, andriy bilaus, on rehearsals, i asked him, he said that yes, it is the most expensive, probably the project of their theater, and the production was made by a famous director, olena kolyadenko, now you can see the footage from the rehearsal we were at, but don’t pay attention, the costumes should be completely different there, maybe now we will also show you there, because we were invited to the theater, we also filmed the costumes, there will be ballet freedom, conditionally, and well, it is also such an interesting system, by the way, the purchase of licenses

to show such legendary works, because the work takes, he is definitely legendary, and a play, and a musical, it was on broadway, still ideas, it's very, very like that, well, it's already a classic piece, yes, which other theaters there are trying to stage, and now we're showing you a movie with liza minnelli, right now we are talking about the theater. well, well, mr. bilaus also told me that they bought this license, it costs a lot of money, a license costs somewhere around 40,000 dollars to legally take the rights to stage this musical, and i will also say that in the operetta theater too, we are already promised chicago, it is also a legendary musical, there, by the way, there is a license we managed to get this one for free, there are a certain number of first screenings, the fact is that some authors come to us, well, not

to make concessions, but to give us, as ukrainians , such a gift, and here they suggest that we give it to the first time, we will give you a few first screenings there or six months of screenings, then you will buy a license, and about the movie cabaret, which we started showing, i think that it is possible if you want to go to this musical, to the young theater, somehow compare, because you won't make it to broadway. and with this you can compare with the legendary cinema , i'm sure you know all these songs that were sung there, and about money, about cabaret in general, the musical is about the musical is about berlin, and this is the end of the 20s, the beginning of the 30s, on the one hand, we are told such an interesting story about love, about the fun world of such a cabaret called tiktok, eh, and there, and there, here are these two heroes, one of them is a writer, he and such an interesting

relationship begins with this worker, dancer and singer of cabaret, but at the same time there is not enough, not so much - the story is funny, because the nazis come to power and we can already see in the background what the first such bells are, what all this will lead to in the future, well, and further, i do not know how well they will sell: tickets for this, for this muyucle, i really hope that there will always be soldadut, that is, all the tickets will be bought, and this can already be said for sure about the performances... the host, which was staged by ivan uryvskyi in the theater in podil and which all social networks are buzzing about this week. let me remind you why? because in this production, there is a hero, if you remember, an original work karpenka karahoy, there is a hero with the surname zelensky. and he somehow disappeared from this

production, but he is still there. a character with the last name zaluzky appeared, and lavred, a colleague of the glavkom publication, wrote about it on his facebook, and it spread, well, that is, he wrote the post as if it were a kind of betrayal, as if it were almost censorship or self-censorship, and what it could come out at all, and of course, this so-called triggered many people, and of course they started to write to themselves in social networks that this is treason, that this is censorship, that how is it possible, and you know, despite the fact that there is a stereotype, well as if a theatrical tussle , it’s usually like that, they want to set each other up, that there is competition, no, on the contrary , they stood up for ivan uryvskyi, many colleagues, well almost all colleagues, started saying that listen, there is no betrayal, these are theatrical experiments,

in general, the whole performance is changed, the story has flowed from the ukrainian village to the office in modern times. many characters were united there and ivan uryvsky himself explained it, and therefore it is not so rare that some characters are renamed and thrown away, but ivan himself finally explained in his post, that i didn't want to speculate on this last name and, well, i was afraid that somehow they would pay attention to it, and it would divert their own attention from the story itself, but not everyone believed him, i want to say that the series was also released last june the owner and this character was not there at all, the character of zelensky, he is so negative, by the way, i also want to say about communication, because, for example, my colleagues and i, bohdan bonyuk, the artistic director of the theater in podol, refused to give comments, did not pick up the phone , although i promised to comment, i think that such scandals need to be communicated,

people need to be explained to what and how all this is happening, and in the end i will show you, because december 1st is the world day of the fight against cattle rustling, and here at we launched such a social campaign, one of the many stars told in videos about how they were tested for wilsnide, how to protect yourself, how you should treat this virus in general, that there is now a lot of good treatment, it not a sentence now, and all these... videos and the film is so short, you can watch it in various online cinemas, online platforms, let's watch, let's watch a small excerpt of what the granddaughter says, if you have problems with modern medicines you can love, love, live and give life.

get checked, protect yourself, get treated. so we move on. now also to the theater topic, because once i was invited quite recently to a movie house to a bar, and it turns out there are courtyards, two bars, i thought there was only one on the second floor, the legendary babylon, there where prominent ukrainian cinematographers are constantly hanging out and the hall is occupied, but there is a larger bar on the first floor, and there they have now set up such an experimental theater, a studio, a theater club, where theatrical, actually experiments will take place, what kind of experiments are these, how should we understand these experiments , do these theatrical experiments need to be communicated to a wide audience in order to explain it to them, now we will talk with romana soutus, who is ukrainian, is an american of ukrainian origin, please and she is the founder of this theater, which

is called, our etsera, if, if romana is already in contact with us, then i will say hello to her. roman, can you hear me? good day, good day, hello, hello, romano , briefly, we have 10 minutes with you, first i want to ask you, in general, what are these shits called in our country, yes, i, we have a lot of cultural shits now , you know, it makes me happy, because we rarely paid attention to culture before, but now, my god, after a full-scale invasion, this topic is of interest to everyone. but we have we also say, we constantly quarrel, quarrel, quarrel and at the same time say that we do not need to quarrel, this is our very negative trait of ukrainians, which is not the case in other countries, you americans know very well. society, you can say, is the same thing going on in the cultural sphere in general and around culture, show business, or is it really just us, and i think it's a little

complicated because the way we think about theater in america and the way we think about theater in ukraine, and they are different roots, then, because in ukraine we really live theater. to understand these traditional ukrainian narratives and what they mean for our people for the future, who we were, who we are and who we can be, in america, we have different conversations in the theater, then we also have different respects for the very structure and reconstruction of the theater itself. but actually, if we are talking about experiments, can you say, from the ukrainian productions, what do you think is the most daring, the most experimental, what do you remember the most? i would say

that what will impress me the most is the way young people look at the war and how they live the culture in order to have a modern conversation about the war and how it changes the ukrainian people, and. i was talking to someone yesterday about the fact that young artists understand that we are going through such intense trauma during this time, but just because we have this trauma, it does not mean that there is a lot of potential for change, for something new, to try something new, and i think this is the root of our experimentalism in our, and i think it is very easy to make mistakes, many people say our exera, but in fact it is our etc,

experimental theater club, yes, and in general, what really impresses me about our conversations about experimentalism in ours is that they all have their roots, in this potential that ukraine... can to be after the victory, how can we start today to have these conversations about these values ​​and how can we then find other ways to talk about these topics and also show them on stage, then it is very related to the potential of ukrainian arts, it is very ukrainian in this experiment, it is not it is simple to restore these experiments that already existed in western europe or america. roman, i was at your production, i really liked it, first of all, the place

is wonderful, i just thank you for opening another bar in the movie house for me, i didn’t know about it, and here it is, such a small one chamber, club atmosphere, there is very cool lighting, our viewers can now see some excerpts, yes, which i shot, by the way, you can shoot there, because very often before in theaters. don't shoot our play, don't you dare, it's now it is possible to do, on the contrary , you are telling the story, everything is allowed, if you want , please tell me how it will all happen in your place, ours , etc., that’s right, i said this time, yes, and i, what exactly, what exactly will it be, but for our audience, tell me, you can buy tickets there, if you buy tickets , what do you get, what are experiments, what are these experiments for, or will it be like this in our kurbas theater, there is a story that in the kurbas theater, a small a scene, some production is made, and if it is recognized that it is cool an experiment, this production can

already be transferred to larger theaters, will you do that, how and where and where to buy tickets, actually, great, okay, then first of all we will start with the fact that we will still have performances, i think that we we still have a couple of tickets, for our performance on december 7th and december 21st, and then we will continue to have performances in january, and we will also have a public workshop, then, these are opportunities where we will collaborate with our partner from new york lamam experimental theater club, where they show the ways that we bring these digital elements to life in our performance, and how you can use digital elements to make it... theatrical and not, and it feels like it's alive, it's in place, it's theater , and what your viewers can see is that we worked with five

different groups, young theater groups that have completely different feelings and respects, on the theme of crossing borders, we lived this cabaret format, i was very pleased when i saw that the young theater also talks about cabaret, we have such a conversation, where we understand that culture and war are , whether we like it or not, very, very connected, they greatly influence each other, and even then we understood that this form of cabaret, which means that these are different novellas or are tricks on one general theme, but with different, or interpretations, or respect for this theme, then we worked with these collectives, and they all looked at what it was borders. what does this

mean in their practice not only as netizens, but also as ukrainians, and how they could then show it through digital elements, for our premiere we did a live stream internationally, and viewers from america, from europe, i think there were even people from korea and south america who watched our performance, and they saw the premiere in ". the time itself as ukrainians in the cinema house, and what we really liked is that this is also a crossing of borders, that ukraine is part of this modern conversation, as theater, how ukrainian narratives can cross these borders, even when they are all - in ukrainian, about ukrainian conversations and ukrainian narratives, and that in fact, ukraine

is an international nation... the country in this, that our the narratives are international, they are universal , and then you, your audience, can come and see five different new collectives, and that, i'm sorry, we're running out of time, unfortunately, we have it here, thank you very much , - first of all, for the play and for the fact that you found time to talk with us, and by all means, i advise you to watch it, it's really cool when you come. to the theater for a performance and you can see five groups at once, evaluate, well, actually also evaluate the cool room, which was chosen in general - chosen by our founders etc, it’s called an experimental club, it’s an experimental theater club, we already have several such experimental clubs with different names in ukraine, and it’s very cool that we experiment and these

experiments are really perceived by people in different countries, and here we are again talking about the effectiveness and importance of cultural diplomacy, because it is culture, it is stories, emotions, they influence people very strongly, and we should definitely use this tool and we use it, i think, very often, quite successfully, well, well, that's all, friends, i bid you farewell, traditionally i wish you a good evening, good night and watch espresso. tingling and crawling sensations arise spontaneously and disturb you . dolgit antineuralgia helps to return to usual activities without tingling and numbness in the limbs.
