ukrainian songs and ukrainian carols and carols, because actually this year we will finally have our new year and will we be able to return it? in our form , there will be traditions, there will be ukrainian traditions, i.e. olivier, kirkor, everything should be, no, these are not ukrainian traditions, these are soviet traditions, and by the way , kirkorov was cut from the christmas lights this year because he left in underpants or without underpants, i don't remember, to some party, which would be very not putin liked it, they are now shaming him terribly, so they say that this is actually a russian special operation to cover up the noise, or rather to make you... the hitting of ukrainian rockets in novocherkassk and the fact that 74 russian sailors went aft were covered up, the information embrasure was thrown at kirkorov's bare ass, he was injured, and then as he was cut out, he is back and will lose 74 killed

sailors and one more kirkorov imprisoned in russia, you see, now kirkorov can be said to be a political refugee from russia, he must be sheltered with us, we already still love, you know, now it will be good. and political homeless people or asylum seekers, by the way, about the new year and its celebration in ukraine, so a certain moscow star from moscow came to ukraine to celebrate the new year in bukavel, she made a stariz accordingly, posted, said that hello ukraine, many years we didn't see each other with our family in the carpathians, we came to celebrate the new year in the mountains, in the mountains, i have people from ukraine here, and people from ukraine started to respond to it. this girl, she is such a working girl, because she is already 18 years old and she opened a business with china, and she moved to moscow and created her own product, and she earned the first million in a month, and then she invests another 2 million in the appearance

of veneer surgery, although she speaks honestly about it, in a word for this year, and 21 in 12 countries have been added to her piggy bank and she is still doing something there. spent a lot of money, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that she came to ukraine, you know, during a full-scale invasion, she came from the transnistrian unrecognized so-called republic, that is... exactly what our lpr and dpr, here. and she says, and did, that she anticipates that there will be questions from ukrainians to her, so she immediately decided to explain, and here is her explanation. i am 30% ukrainian, 30% russian, 30% moldovan. i studied ukrainian, moldavian and russian. there is no moldovan, there is romanian, but what is it? she taught everything badly. i love both ukraine and russia, but i'm from moldova.

i have many friends in both countries, and because of political actions i do not want to share this love. i sincerely feel sorry for the victims, i helped the refugees at the beginning of this whole story, but never took anyone's side. i am a man of peace. and here is this bird of peace, it is not known that there is another 10%, what kind of blood flows in it. this bird is a measure in which, by the way, the ukrainian passport is still kept. which she also admitted in her stories, now in the ukrainian bukovel, she cannot call the war of russia against ukraine the war of russia against ukraine, because you understand, she has a career in russia, she collects millions for a loan, we can still there we can show you her good, beautiful photos, i'm here, i'm here i wonder who let this bird of peace into ukraine in the first place, wait, she has a russian passport, a ukrainian passport, and secondly, why does she still have this ukrainian passport, and thirdly, not even before her claims. to all those ukrainians who started writing about how, my god, it's good that

you came, we've been waiting for you for a long time, because she's a russian singer, she's famous in russia, she's 27 years old, she's subject to mobilization, no, she's not subject, okay , i understood your story in principle, a person came, paid money, who continue to support this person, you are serious, full scale invasion, second year. well, listen, well, you have to turn to them, somehow, maybe there is a percentage of them somewhere they don't even watch it, we just can't, those who watch espresso will ask their loved ones if they sometimes don't know half that much... and they will tell them a little that and to what bohdan shimelovich, a historian in touch with us,

you just understand, moldova, ukraine, russia, all this is again this soviet new age, we are just going to talk about it right now, or we can we shake off that soviet new year, or further, will it win ours, that new year, which for a very long time we called the old new year, will the kutya table return to us, will there be such a soviet kutya, olivier, my dear, good to you. good morning we had a christmas table, and no one hid in it, but of course there are traditions that, well, now it is customary to say such nice words about the colonial ones. colonial traditions, they are in all countries, what do i mean by

colonial traditions? the one who dominates usually imposes some form of culture and this can be in any situation even for developed countries, well we know for example india had thousands of years of history but still they too were imposed certain traditions, those who dominated this territory, that is why we have such rather strong and large vestiges. which are quite difficult to root out in some way, that is, they are again in post-colonial theory says that when people accept it as their own, they perceive it as their own, and it is quite difficult to convince them with just words, but we are now we are now, we are now panedane we will have a situation where we have the first, on december 31, 13 in fact. and tomorrow vasyl, and here we have

such an interesting moment, that is, somewhere there was a kind of western ukraine, which somewhere separately celebrated its lightning, where tourists sometimes came from the center and east of ukraine, to look at this interesting thing, wow, how interesting it is and native, and now this is conditional born collides with this olivier, with all that with santa claus and the snow maiden, and something will happen from this impact, that is, there may be different options, maybe just lightning. i don't think so, i think maybe the opposite will happen, volivier's lightning does not dissolve, so what will happen, i think that the request is public, well, i 'm not speaking for myself, i listened to many sociologists and mr. holovakha and such people who can be trusted , they say that, in

principle, the request from ukrainians for changes is big, very big, and... all regions unite us well, here is this tragedy that is happening, that every, every second day, there are deaths both in lviv, odessa and kharkiv, and accordingly there is a demand for those who run businesses to transform these practices, which could at some point dissolve something somehow, as you say, i think there will be more and more demand. to use this something new, authentic, popular in the mainstream, i doubt that it will be possible to kill olivier so easily, i would really like to, but uh, i don't think it will be that easy, but instead uh, for some reason i it's solid conviction that in 10 years, ah, the feast

of st. basil will somehow merge with the new year, and we will have a very good new year. ritual and just as we lived in the past in certain rituals, we will have new rituals , it’s just that our generation will have to reinvent them, well , not to create them, but to adapt them a little bit. the witch befana is on tv, she is in all those shows, she is on the stage, that is, it is their new year’s purely italian character yes, we will also come up with our own, well, we have them, here it is a question of creative reuse, transformation, some mythical characters, some folk ones, er, something needs to be changed in the old rituals, there, well, for example, we have in the light of relations with a global event, we can say so, and

, that is, the age, where, where quite an important partner, perhaps israel will be, but... it is still worth getting rid of the character of the ghrid, for example, in ukrainian nativity scenes, he does not really contribute to our friendship, on the contrary you can stuff it there the character of a russian in different forms in other constructions, well, of course i'm joking a little, but here it is, we will adapt, we will borrow something from the same italians, and of course. a lot depends on what competitive product we can create, because people on such holidays, big holidays, they do repetitive actions, and these repetitive actions usually happen with food and with some, we can call it media, yes, that is, it singing is watching some

tvs or singing from phones and so on further, the ability to create new rituals , to help... to adapt them to the wider community, and i think that in our region, more and more people will turn to others for tips on what to do, here, here, here, here, these reformatted holidays, they will help us to construct something new, in principle to be afraid, but you said earlier that there is a segment of people who gasp, gasp at something incomprehensible, all nations have this, and, that is, there is a segment. a population that does not live, for example, together with others, or tragedy or joy, and they, they live in their small dimensions, they live on some tiktok or youtube, because i agree, not all ukrainians there watch aristovych, well, there is a certain segment of people who need this person, but there is

a huge segment that watched igor's lectures the late kozlovsky, that is, what a very bright person, what a lot. mr. bohdan, of course, the segment of people who listened to igor kozlovsky's lectures is a huge loss for us. moreover, ukrainians learned about ihor kozlovskyi only when he, as if, ukrainians appreciated ihor kozlovsky throughout ukraine, when he was noticed by the muscovites, because it was they who pointed him out, he was arrested, he was beaten, he was tortured, and we unfortunately lost him this year, because all these tortures, all these captures, they do not pass without a trace , but if... you go out and say kozlovsky and say aristovych, well, yes, the answer is obvious, he, he, he is not a media character, because this one is a conscious manipulator, and this one... and this one, on the contrary, tries to treat, to heal, slightly different requests, this year i accidentally came across a video somewhere on instagram

of my friend, who was removing the christmas tree, the main christmas tree of the country in front of st. sophia cathedral, finally she is standing there for such an old ukrainian tradition, and not for the soviet one, as it was on the maidan, that is, something has changed, but it has changed, it has changed, but st. nicholas walked under that christmas tree. and santa claus was following him, and you know it somehow, well, it’s as if they have already let one thing into their lives, and they can’t let go of the other, then i wrote a post about it, and a person sent me this very video, this christmas tree beautiful, and there on the background, so far away you can see, if you remove the title, then they go one after the other, that saint nicholas and his soviet... not a friend, but rather an enemy, you can't see it that way, but i looked closely, i also questioned myself, i say, listen, tell me, there is definitely santa claus,

she says, but she saw one walking, the person who sent me the photos, she has a santa claus, the same as you probably had at home, i have him, but i know that somewhere parents he has already been stuffed somewhere in the attic, mice are gnawing at him, this is santa claus, you see, and here it is, it is something like that, you see, there is a flag here of the european union. and santa claus is already american, and the soviet santa claus has been repainted blue and yellow, it's like, probably, some cossack repaints lenin's monuments, ukrainians also have a little, you know, bees, honey and all sorts of things, and how fight him? you know, it's very difficult, hegel once said that the longest thing to study is consciousness, social consciousness, it's a long process, it, it depends on people like you, that is, the media. there are people who will tell, show such stories, say that this is abnormal, because for many people, paradoxically,

they do not even understand that this is abnormal, they simply do not understand, for them it was some kind of grandfather, they do not know that stalin invented it for to replace nikolay, or to create a character, that is, to create new rituals for the soviet people, and they do not know this, perhaps they never knew it and... for them, it is something unconscious, and, that is, they use it for themselves, as tim olivier, well, it's just food, it's seasonal, it's for or just food, about or it's just that santa claus is just santa claus , actually, what do these people think like that, well, for example , i wear a shirt, and i wear it, just like a shirt and i don't give it any meaning, and here you appear and tell me on the air, you know, your shirt was sewn there by the enemies somewhere. and you're wearing the wrong shirt, well, it's necessary, and that's why it's long, a gesture of awareness, yes, that is, a gesture of awareness - it's for people to understand, and it's necessary

to inform, tell, criticize, laugh a little, somewhere in the film to include such a plot, imagine, some super popular a film where the characters, for example, have a dialogue about nicholas and santa claus, and there comes a character, some one there, well, i don't know, who returned from the war, for example, explains that... that you just bring the enemy to the house, and well, people , they care, but people, they are mimetic creatures, they depend on the media, so they need to be told, but we see that santa claus, roughly speaking, was invented 100 years ago, maybe more, and we have been independent for 30 years, of those 30 years we have stubbornly held on to the soviet union for 20 years, and that is, we still have... a long the process, i think, is already when i will die, how soon i will be 50, somewhere around my 80 years, i am sure, grandfather frosts

will disappear from ukraine as vestiges, and people will say, what a grandfather, what a frost , there will be only mykolay, and then those born in 1976 who will survive until that time, mr. bohdan, i, too , was born in 1976, so, well, that's it, we did our job. may you live long, and santa claus not so long, meanwhile, while ukrainians in part of ukraine still say that christmas is not ours, russians are very then they are surely stealing our christmas and they are stealing it with carols, i don't know if our viewers have seen, or have you seen, for example, how the russians stole, how washing machines are stolen, how they stole, good evening to you, mr. hospodor, master, we can listen to a piece, just to understand that... in order for muscovites not to steal, we must return our own, rejoice!

we have a description of sochelnik and the dressed-up people, i read today, by the way, domskaya odessa , some historian writes about the memories of the 19th century or even the 18th, as they celebrated christmas there, and that there were people from malosiya. some guests came there and they invited to the corner, then they did not know what it was, and thought that it was a funeral and came and came all dressed in black, which scared the hosts very much, yes and no, well, we know, this one of ours, forgive me, my neighbor, they, they mostly borrow phenomena, and then , repackaging them, show them as their own, and whether

it is culture, or it is a weapon, all of them. secondary, and there is no need to worry about it, but that is why they are so admired, for example, europeans, because they take something european there, i don't know, like a short story, a novel, and make something good out of it, like a tchaikovsky or a ballet, and, but uh, well, investing a lot of money there and so on, but all that remains secondary in the sense that these are not their inventions, this culture is built in such a way that it constantly steals, repackages and reformats something from someone. among the russians , people like chaadayu understood it, for example, yes, well, yes, those who were sober, and some of them who left, are quite well they understand this, i think it will be good to save us from their demonism now, and this is this new calendar, the fact that we finally have the opportunity, it is clear that not everyone, you will see how long ukrainians will switch to this calendar, we will see, i think everyone will be very surprised, how many more have gone.

to the church, look, the viewer writes, new year, no olives, no salad, no under a fur coat, not a new year, sorry, dear friends, if you understand that these traditions of celebrating the new year are soviet, then you are very give them up quickly, moreover, if you think about it, disassemble olivier into its components, well, it is very harmful, unhealthy, and if you look at the corner, well, it is a super diet food, just like what nutritionists would recommend, i will tell you how we, for example, in my family, how did we recover from olivier, i had a friend... and they taught us how to bake a banitsa, a new year's banitsa, this is a cake that is made from the inside, there is cheese, it can be so sweet , can be salty and sweet, such a beautiful baked cake, but the peculiarity is that you write your wishes one by one, wrap them in such, well, some kind of foil, and stuff them into this pie, and he and your guests, everyone cuts off a piece and has a wish for the next year, listen,

i have it... already in the family for a bunch of years, like a new ritual, that is, it is simply difficult to fight with olivier, it must be replaced with something, this is important, that is, if you find something, and kutia, she is sweet, we perceive her as a dessert, as a special thing , which will in no way replace the vodka snack that people confidently drink, what we you definitely don’t need to replace it, we already have it, it’s generous, you can be generous today and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow you can be generous, it’s our carol, which the whole world knows and... and they sing it, even not only in america, for example, they heard , as in the station, at the metro station in almaty, the girls sang in ukrainian, but we will already show this generosity in our next part of today's marathon, at 2 p.m. we will return, thank you, mr. bohdan, have a peaceful new year, bohdan shumylovych, the historian was with us, talked about what to celebrate the new year according to soviet traditions or according to ukrainian ones, you choose and you make decisions. dear friends, thank you

for being with us. come back at 14 and stay with us because ether espresso continues and there will be a lot of celebration today. greetings, chas news v eter spresso. katarina shiropoyas works in the studio. air raid alarms sounded in most regions of ukraine at night. ukrainian air defense forces destroyed 21 kamikaze drones. the military recorded a total of 49 shahed launches. this is reported by the air force. russia launched shaheds from three directions of the primorsky-vakhtarsky district, cape chauda, ​​which is in the crimea.
