greetings, good evening, my name is myroslava barchuk and this is the "own names" program. a joint project of ukrainian foam and the espresso tv channel. so, today the topic we

want to talk about is ukrainian wartime humor and the post-colonial syndrome. what i mean, for years and decades , the russian empire through... its literature, art, later the soviet empire, through its own show business, comedy shows, kvn and and so on, depicted ukrainians as such weak-willed hochlovs, with oslets, with mustaches that chew lard and so on, this was from the time, this is not a decade, this is a century, because if we take ukrainians, heroes of classical russian literature, for example, ferdyshchenko in dostoyevsky, if... you don’t know , read it, then this is this image of a ukrainian, if he is not an idiot, not a jerk, then a traitor or some very unpleasant person, and 33 years ago we gained independence, but for some reason further on in our humor to the mainstream, we

continue to portray ourselves as these what makes us, or who makes us behave like this, make such jokes about ourselves? and how is this related to the post-colonial syndrome? i am talking about this today with radomir mokryk, my guest. radomir is a historian, cultural expert, and i am happy to do so. i read his book rebellion against the empire of the ukrainian sixties and i highly recommend you to read it, and today we are talking about humor, congratulations radumyrs, congratulations, so why we are talking about it is clear, society was shaken and very outraged by a joke on new year's eve, studios 95th quarter about a mover from skadovsky, who is now an occupied territory, where a girl from skadovsk is mutilating the ukrainian language very badly, as if she looks completely stupid in her attempt to speak

ukrainian, and here people somehow, some intuitively, some completely logically, said that it is not just bad taste, and this is also self-deprecation. so you wrote about the ethos of self-deprecation and the image of this sloppy slob. let's start with - with who from... created and when is this image of this idiotic man? well, in principle, the origins of this phenomenon can really be sought in russian culture, russian literature, somewhere, at least since the 19th century. in the 19th century in russia, it was rather paradoxical, in fact, somewhere in the first half, it was still there in some way. in a certain ukrainophilic sense, in a very peculiar sense, it is when gogol writes, yes, when others write, that there is such

an interest, intrigued by these ukrainians, those who are somewhere in the west of the empire, uh, but interest in the singing and dancing tribe, yes, exactly in this sense, yes, yes, exactly, actually gogol, well, gogol cannot be called a ukrainophobe, and gogol, as always, is paradoxical, and... and it is he who actually creates this idea of ​​a tribe of drinking and dancing, it comes with notes of such, you know, interest in the aborigines, the fact is that then the political situation changes, that is, the polish uprisings take place , the ukrainian national movement gains strength, and it is perceived as a threat, as separatism, that is , the ukrainian national movement for the russian empire is separatism, and so... then this trend changes, and it changes in a sharply negative sense, ukrainians become

with such an interesting element, ukrainians become a dangerous element, and somewhere in the middle of the 19th century, a very typical image of this khokhla, which has some national attributes, is formed, so, that is, this national dress and herringbone appear. and these are always very primitive such characters, they are not so much, well, there are some acutely negative ones, as you mentioned, like in dostoevsky, and this is rather such a mocking, weak-minded, stupid man, and, in order not to be speechless, actually, it's always cool to cover up with authority, i really like it i like it, it is very important that already in the 20th century volodymyr vennychenko wrote an open letter to the russian people. and he writes it there verbatim, he writes that he said, colleagues, come to your senses, you, who are not

ukrainians, are sometimes some kind of fool, then some kind of cunning, lazy, well, simpleton, and that is, this is a trend that during the 19th century acquires, well, really, really such, well, discourse , yes, that is, it is some stereotypical image that is present in turgeniv, yes, he writes about it, well, bilinsky's criticism, of course, yes, which makes fun of the ukrainian language. precisely from russian culture, because it was important for the russians to show that they are the dominant cultural force, i.e. to humiliate this one, this other one, and the inferior one, to show that he is worse, this is extremely important for the empire, and this is what russian culture was engaged in, and then and in the 20th century, and it was somewhere... it was overcrowded until today, do you remember how mina mazayly says, i feel that ukrainianization is

a way to turn me into a provincial, that is, a slob, yes, that is even then, that's how mykola kulish notes that it already exists, that is, we can to say that in the middle of the 20s this phenomenon was already recorded, absolutely, because this tradition, it is transferred to the soviet union according to the same logic, yes, that is, there is... this outbreak of ukrainization, okay, but the logic of the empire does not change , this is this assignment of roles, yes, who is the boss here, who is the best, who, on the contrary, is just... some kind of ridiculous appendage, and some kind of offshoot from the great russian people, it remains in the soviet union unequivocally, and of course, that these best intellectuals it is fixed, and the soviet union is already the doves of the lights of the soviet union, which my generation found, and i remember shtepsel and terapunka, this duo

that was loved by millions of ukrainians, where shtepsel is a russian-speaking person. shown by an intellectual so soviet, yes, and terapunka is also weak, ukrainian-speaking, so sarcastic, well, such an irreproachable uncle, and i think that i ask myself all the time why millions of ukrainians did not notice that this was a mockery of them, yes, why in soviet ukraine, there was no such rejection of such humor, and we have not yet reached that point independence, but how do you explain... that 's how it is and there are still people who love and admire the actor tymoshenko, i also think that he is a good actor, but this drama was his big one, so why didn't people notice this humiliation, well, it seems to me that ukrainian culture in general in the soviet empire, so these slogans are nationally

proletarian in form and content, and then socialist in content, i.e. cultural policy in general. of the soviet union was reduced to the primitivization of national cultures, yes, when, when this culture was small to be reduced to embroidery, to some purely ethnographic things, and to be socialist in content, of course , that is, it is about the fact that culture, it is already suppressed, it stands to a large extent on the tradition of this inferiority, well, fictitious. well, i've been re-thinking a lot lately, purely for academic purposes, of shtepsel and terapunka, well, these stereotypes are pretty well hidden, yes, that is, if you don't think about it, if you just

turn on the tv there before dinner and watch it, you can not notice, you can not to see that... what is it that the roles are very clearly set here, well, now it is very visible, now it is visible, because we, our optics have changed, yes, that is, we are beginning to understand how culture worked as a tool of actual colonization, then against the background of this culture that was basically nailed down, it looked like, well, okay, that's how it works, and i just think that people didn't think about it, they just didn't see it from that point of view, although it, well, it is there, of course. that is, ugh, so already, that is, there was a trap, a mental one some, yes, in which we have already fallen into and fixed ourselves, yes, and i read your article where you talk about kvn, and please tell me, how do you generally perceive the ethics of the kvn itself and the ethics and humor of the kvn itself, and do you

do you share the opinion that it was also a controlled body? in soviet times, the kgb, in particular, and through kvn too, sent the necessary messages. well, you know, as a historian, i like to work with some specific facts, i don’t have documents that confirm that this was controlled by the kgb, but, well, it was possible and not necessary, for this it was there is enough, relatively speaking, ideological, ideological departments of the central committee of the party, the fact that the kvn absolutely definitely... worked like us, as a propaganda tool, well, there is practically no doubt about that, because when you look at the content of these numbers, well, that's all there permeated with, well, different topics, it tells you about the friendship of peoples, and about ideology as such, of course there is the construction of a bright communist future and so on and

so on, and of course again this factor is, well, some kind of self-humiliation of the nation . minorities, this is something that was very popular, and what is important, well, for the sake of justice, it was not some, you know , purely ukrainian trick, the problem, yes, it is, it is in general, there are kazakhs, tajiks, and to come to moscow and there make fun of some of their national, well, real, or invented flaws, well, there were a lot of these, and this, it worked, well, logically, yes, because... you come to this big concert, the bureau, the bureau of the central committee, relatively speaking, and you, you do something that this soviet elite likes, because... well, the soviet union, no matter how much it talks about friendship peoples, well, we know that there was one people who were equal among equals, and accordingly,

accordingly, this is how it worked without a doubt, but here you are talking about what you and i are talking about, that not only we, but also other peoples of other soviet republics, they fell into this trap, well, in fact , you can talk about this as a post-colonial syndrome and self-esteem and self-esteem. tion of those nations that were colonies for a long time, yes, they perceive themselves through the eyes of the metropolis, and they want to please the metropolis, but in the 91st year, we, ukraine, will gain independence, and long decades go by, so long decades in which we, in principle, would have time to think and look at ourselves in the optics of this post-colonial one. and for some reason we did not do it, it seems to me, what is the reason for this and whether we could, or is it possible, an absolutely natural evolutionary path such a post-colonial one after such centuries

of colonialism, well, that is, really, this is this approach of some kind of mirroring of conventional and or regens to the metropolis it really works like that, that is, when a person, when a community is in a colonized position for a long time. she he automatically begins to somehow compare himself to these colonizers, to somehow try to see through their eyes, this is actually this trauma, and it is in us, well, it is possible, thank god, not now, but it lasted for a very long time already in the days of independence, i think that this problem, well, it is very broad, to my deep conviction, in principle, in 1991, there was no mental break with us. there were not many rethinkings, yes, that is, it is some kind of continuation, well, even the very fact that

the soviet nomenclature remained there for a long time in power, yes, well, there was no space for a total reassessment of values, the simplest example, well, these are the dissidents, yes, if we look at how, for example, with the dissident movement eh... society works in the czech republic or in poland, and in us, well, this is a huge difference, yes, you mean reading the texts, recognizing their importance, realizing their role in all this, yes, we, we have just, just in recent years somehow started to move in this direction, but in the same direction czechoslovakia, okay, i understand, vaclav havol came to power there, the situation is different, but this somewhere, the values ​​were reversed, yes, that is , the accents were placed. who was actually right, who was wrong, but this did not happen in our country , and it metastasized into the culture as such, and in particular with regard to this self-presentation of mainstream humor and so on and

the like, and i or when we talk about, let's say, the mainstream comedy shows, not only quarter 95, but there are some diesels, there are some other films, shows, crazy wedding. everything that is considered funny, now, yes, whether it is, whether we can consider it ukrainian humor, is it correct to call it ukrainian humor, is it just some such segment of humor, or is it something, how do you evaluate it from the point of view of a culturologist, well, it seems to me that this is actually to a large extent this post-colonial syndrome, yes, that is, it is humor that er... did not reflect this trauma, which is based on the same things, relatively speaking, well, quarter yes, here he,

well, he continued the same, here in the years of independence, in already as a studio quarter 95 , or what they are doing now is the same diesel and so on, that is, when mockery or self-mockery is actually one of the main features, leitmotives... of one's creativity, because of some national or linguistic features, that is, this continues , this very, very peculiar tradition of humor, well and this also applies to big uncles and all this production, at the same time, it seems to me that we are starting to move despite everything, well, there are signs that we are coming out of this, then fine, if possible, we will talk about that later... we are coming out, we will later let's talk more, i want to dwell on this part, i, if i i understand correctly that you do recognize that this is ukrainian humor, yes, no matter how

post-colonial it is, it is equally true... it is a part of our culture, and what is the reason that it is so popular in society? uh, well, yes, i think whether we like it or not, but it's part of our culture in the broad sense of the word, yes, culture is a very, very large area, uh, and it's somewhere uh somewhere ot a manifestation, yes this, this post-colonial syndrome, i think that... it's actually because of, well, because of a certain upbringing over generations, yes, when, well here it was considered funny, in literature , in pop culture, that is, this is what was imposed, why, well, there was not much of an alternative, yes, that is, we are talking about, about the soviet totalitarian system, which actually shapes tastes, and this it was considered funny, er

, that is, it seems to me that in particular in kvn, yes , the fact that these, these things moved to a large extent already in the times of independence, this is not, you know, there is a conscious operation of diesel or a quarter, when you say these things, you mean that low-quality, not very intelligent humor, yes, what we call russian vulgarity, bullshit, yes, yes, that is, it went with the fact that... that er, i'm sure that these people, the authors of these comedy shows, they don't think about some post-colonial theories, they just know that it works, yes, i mean it worked and it still works , uh, and they're reproducing it, although, well , again, i've had to watch the last few episodes of these shows, well, you can see that the ideas are coming to an end there, so it's really kind of running around in circles. , yes, those same ones

there... are they funny, or are they some kind of bad people mustachioed ukrainians as such , there is nothing else there, it’s actually running in circles, using the same stereotypes, well , but some segment of the ukrainian community, unfortunately, well, they obviously like it, and they obviously like it, but here, for example, we now we are showing this diesel show, it is also some hutsul speaking, he speaks absolutely some language, well... this is how this hutsul is shown, in principle, it seems to me that no one is forcing us, ukrainians, to identify with this a person, so or to identify oneself with these stereotypes, with regard to ukrainians, with this fat, with these endless, endless, these hells, so entering on this on this on this is stupidity, and

it is equally millions. millions of views , except for ukrainians, well, we don’t want it to be like , well, we are smarter than this, we are cooler, we have already shown that we are much cooler than this, yes, we saw ourselves with the eyes of the world, yes, and this not like that, that is, it is somehow, you think that somehow it will change, so now let's be positive, i think, i am without i doubt that it will change , it seems to me, in fact, that we are, well, only these... of this great war, we have actually entered the phase of this decolonization in the broadest sense of the word, rethinking a lot of things, and decolonization not only on levels of some , you know, bubbles of intellectuals, really as a community, so this is not a quick process, it will continue and continue, but it seems to me that even this disturbance, which is now happening around what is happening again. issued

a quarter, this is a very good signal, one of the signals, because this, well, it is much larger than it was before, yes, that is, this is already some kind of talking about problems, and well , for me, this is a certain signal that we, we are more mature, that we stop liking it, wasn't it in the quarter, i forgot whose it was, it seems that in the quarter there were ebonite sticks, signor holodomor, ukraine is a prostitute there. who is looking for money somewhere, and a burning pine tree was burning, what about the burnt house of gontarevo and the head of the national bank, didn't this happen, didn't it, but the reaction was not actually, it seems to me that this, this and the difference is, then there was outrage, yes, but it was not so large-scale, that is , because of the way the community reacts, it seems to me that we are growing, or at least we want to believe, yes, but it seems

this progress appears to be there. that is, there are already some things.
