millions of dollars for russian content, what makes ukrainians still listen and watch russian, what is the probability of completely switching to their own, we gathered. opinions of critics and experts and calculated how much ukrainians pay to the russian treasury. this is bbc ukraine, i'm olga polomaryuk. in the third year since the start of the full-scale war, despite russian military aggression, ukrainians still listen to russian music and watch russian films. and they don't just watch, but also pay money into the russian budget. a little spoiler, we're talking about millions of dollars. statistics show the songs of russian artists until now. in the top of the apple music and spotify applications,

not only teenagers, but a lot of the adult population of ukraine were hooked on the tv series "boy". in this program, we would like to understand why this is happening, is it the lack of interesting ukrainian content, or the reluctance to switch to our own, and what to do in such a case? but about everything in order. let's start with music and here is a screenshot of the apple music application, it is recent. there are 17 russian songs in the top 100 daily songs. this is less than, for example, in the same period last year, but still, almost every sixth song by a russian artist, but every sixth russian song is more or less, enough to finance the russian budget, a third of which goes to military needs, well, you can ask, what's the point of the army, music outside of the war, in fact, everything is much more serious, in short, for each listening of his song on any platform, the artist receives a royalty, that is money.

a percentage of the profit goes to the russian budget. in january, economic truth calculated that russian authors earned more than ukrainians for the year 81 million dollars, of which 5 million dollars are taxes paid to the russian treasury. and if this amount is converted into weapons, russia could potentially buy 10,000 fpv drones or more than 400 unmanned aerial vehicles of the lancet or pri' type with the taxes paid by ukrainians. of the ukrainian military, and a few more numbers, let's take youtube as an example, a weekly chart of the top 100 most popular songs in ukraine, 21 of which are russian. well, i'll be honest, two weeks ago there were 17 of them. so, in one week, ukrainians listened to these russian songs more than 6 million times. on average, youtube pays performers one dollar per thousand. of listening, therefore, in just one week

, russians earned more than 600 dollars from ukrainians, and this is only for listening to and watching the most popular video clips. so, who are these people who watch and listen to russian, or are they ready to completely abandon the russian-language product. we asked oleksiy antipovovich, head of the rating sociological group, about this. before the war, about half of ukrainians used to communicate constantly in everyday life in the ukrainian language. today this figure is about 60%, i.e the percentage of growth is quite significant, but it is still not total, and accordingly, if a citizen, if a person is in a russian-speaking environment or russian thinks in russian, of course she is much more used to receiving music content , film content in the actual russian language, the fact that the trend is on the increase of the ukrainian language, this

is clear, but there remains a large share of people, it is approximately 10% of ukrainians, who constantly use the russian language in everyday life, and about a third say that they use both ukrainian and russian language in everyday life, of course we asked there , and how do you plan to switch to ukrainian , how much has your use of the language changed, and we also see very positive shifts, and well, for example, 40% of the russian-speaking population, or those, those, those people , who use both russian and ukrainian in their daily lives, they began to speak ukrainian much more often, this is a very high indicator, but we also asked ukrainians about their attitude to the ban on the broadcast of russian artists or russian, russian film productions. and there at the beginning of the war, if i

'm not mistaken, in august 22, we made this measure, then in august 22, about 15% of ukrainians were against it. the ban on russian content, and 15% is one in six ukrainians, this is a very significant proportion of those who opposed it, but today i am also sure that these indicators have decreased, we will definitely investigate them, the topic is relevant, why did they decrease, and because of the actions of russia, because of the war that has been going on for two years, because of the crimes committed by the russians, or on the territory of ukraine because bombing, through blackouts, through everything , that is, russia remains in... the enemy for 100% of ukrainians, accordingly, everything connected with the word moscow or russia, or the russian language, it is all equally toxic and, let's say, outwardly speaking about the fact that you listen to russian music, even many would not

say so openly, because it is not dangerous, but let's say it is unpopular, yes, an unpopular step in ukraine. well, how are these charts formed by geolocation. the system sees which compositions are the most frequent users from ukraine are listening. by the way, there are still no moderators of streaming platforms in ukraine, this is done from abroad. well, while researching this topic, i talked with tv presenter and producer ihor kondratyuk. he is convinced that the presence of russian in the ukrainian space is natural, because there are genres in which there is simply not enough ukrainian content. musical devils show. that out of 100 songs that ukrainians now listen to the most, most often, 17 are russian, whether it's more or less, it's a victory, 17 out of 100 is a victory, because if you looked at any ukrainian chart in january 2014, despite the fact that it was already a maidan and already

some of the editors even supported this maidan, probably walked or was on the maidan, i am not ready to say the name, but... that this story is not just yes, it's just a victory, that's why the presence of russian music there in the amount that you just said, well , it's even, even natural, i would say so, because ukraine is a territory where 100% understand russian, you can't do anything to do with the inertia of thinking, with an understanding of ukraine, russian songs, we just know this language, and of course there may be some very interesting performers there, which we do not have, for example, i know that... for example, there is such a thing, there is such a phenomenon as russian rap, he is sorry for the catchy words, ukrainians do not write yes, ukrainians do, even if they do write , it is very, very rare and as simple as a sprinkling, and there is checkmate, they have everything in tradition, it is

suitable for teenagers, so we know a lot of teenage gossip despite the war there with the russians , ukrainian teenagers, the state has finally split, sorry for that... and in in the 22nd year, russian content was banned everywhere, although it should have been done not in the summer of the 22nd year, but on the 14th, okay, not in the summer, when the parliament was elected in the fall, in the fall of the 14th year completely, but for some reason the authorities held back a little catering activities of russians, regardless of their positions in life, and the new government decided what could happen, but thank god, i repeat, it has already been closed at the legislative level. we have nowhere to listen to russians, download, listen at full volume, except youtube, there is spotify and so on, and then, i i don’t know to what extent spotify and all other streaming platforms are moderated in ukraine, because it was a very big issue after

the 14th year, and many ukrainian associates who wanted, well said, didn’t want, said, wrote letters, did when and round tables that... apple music, spotify, some other media that you know, they moderated on this territory from kyiv. we are not without sin, all of us, including citizens of ukraine who listen to russian, despite the fact that this russian is killing it. that is, it is generally such a phantasmagoric picture, you are sitting somewhere in odesa, at this time a fragment from the russian shaheed is flying at you, or god forbid a rocket, but it doesn't change anything for you at all. so how can it be, is it possible to block russian content on the territory of ukraine? earlier, the minister of digital transformation mykhailo fedorov called on the leading music services to ban russian artists, because he says that this money will then be converted into rockets. the head

of the president's office, andriy yarmak, also said that he asked the streaming service spotify to join the sanctions against russia. ukrainians even signed petitions about it, but for... the appeals did not work and russian music regularly appears in ukrainian charts, but not the only music, ukrainians are still fanatical about russian video content, for what it's worth and... the recent russian series slovo patsana , yes, yes, the same one, in particular, which was removed for russian state money, as analytics show, the peak of search queries about this tape fell on the beginning of december 2023, it was mainly searched for in the occupied crimea, luhansk and donetsk regions, and although viewing the film on streaming platforms is prohibited in ukraine, it is watched on pirate sites, that is, in violation of the law. so, why is russian content returning to ukraine? and what is so attractive about those films, i asked the actor and author of the youtube channel squad

of cinematicians, vitaliy gordienko. a lot of people have low socio-national responsibility, i am sure, that is, they are like that, well, in the end, the fact that i look at something there will not change anything globally, because i am not some kind of person who can change something this viewing will not change anything in our country, will not bring any grief to anyone or anything else, i just watched something at home and , accordingly, a person does not feel responsible for it, plus also a low social consciousness due to the fact that people do not understand that this is the product of our enemy, and if we are really all together against him now, then we should not watch what our enemy is doing, but we should support what our country, ukraine, is doing, this is the second, third - this, that that the russians have enough of the product. they too are trying to ensure that their series are in ukraine and are at a high level, and they have

the funds for this, because believe me, the money allocated is not small, you can even look at what is in open sources, it is billions of dollars for years, and they have a vision for the development of this content, plus everything in these films looks as if it could also happen in, i don’t know, in the rivne region somewhere events in the union are taking place conditionally, well... that is, if you watch this, for example, series, who voiced, then, in principle, events can happen anywhere, it doesn't matter if it's a krivnyi horn, or kazan, well, that is, people can associate themselves more with that, the same panel houses, the same songs that sounded all over the union, plus before that i started like that for ukrainian, unfortunately, in our country now there are a number of problems with the production of a ukrainian film serial product, because the state cinema deals with incomprehensible things and... ukrainian filmmakers do not trust this state body, and money, unfortunately, is not

allocated, or is not allocated in those amounts, and we understand why can't money to stand out, but in the end, to so strongly ignore the fact of the need for propaganda , propaganda of common sense, now in ukrainian society, it is strange for me, and here is a series of factors that i... laid out influence the fact that a certain number of ukrainians, i i am not saying that this is a huge amount, but there is a certain number of ukrainians who still consume russian products, but what can ukraine offer instead of russian content, and is there anything to replace it, and how high-quality can this content be? replacement? it is clear that we need more of our product, but this is a huge challenge that will not be solved tomorrow, that is... we need a system, a large number of specialists who can provide

a structure that will constantly allocate funds, in the end, i am sure that we have certain funds for culture in particular, which cannot be used on a military basis, i know many super talented guys, girls, directors, directors, who do not have the opportunity to make a full-length film now, because it is literally unreal for them, because there is no possibility for them to do this, if they have not already lit up. there before, if no one still trusts them, because there is no funding for such people, but there are, they are, and the question is, what kind of people will be allowed to do this to those who know acquaintances, or really tv news boys and girls who have to this inspiration, gift and talent to create a product, here too, if you have something to say, write comments on youtube, and we... see you tomorrow, all the best.

a parliamentary crisis is such a thing that should be very pre... clearly, most often a sign of a parliamentary crisis is the inability parliament to make important decisions, blocking of the legislative process or failure to form a government, etc., to date there are certain hints or prerequisites for a parliamentary crisis, but in some acute phase and hopeless situation it has not yet reached my opinion. thank you, mr. vitaly, there is a political crisis in ukraine, it is no longer parliamentary, it is already political, as it covers other areas as well, it is the relationship between the center and local self-government, it is the relationship between the state, more precisely, the bureaucracy and the authorities and business, this is the relationship between the government and

civil society, and this is , strictly speaking, a parliamentary crisis as well, i see signs of a parliamentary... crisis, i see the inefficiency of parliamentary mechanisms, the reconciliation of some contradictions within the parliament, even within the so-called monomajority, and therefore active we will all see the phase, the acute phase of this parliamentary crisis in april. thank you, mr. oleg, i would say that we are half a step away from a parliamentary crisis, we already have certain signs of it, but here i am closer to mr. maxim, we really haven't seen her yet. and so far it does not look reversed, but we can observe a management crisis, which manifests itself in the institutional crisis and in the crisis of the management model that we have been observing for a long time, and in fact, if it was suitable for a short war, then the regime of manual management in the conditions of a long war, it shows all its weaknesses and in the end, today it leads to the fact that we

are forced to talk about separate elements of the parliamentary crisis or the parliamentary the crisis that followed is controversial. in relation to this, and not in relation to how to effectively work ukrainian institutions, and in fact, that tomorrow, for example, the parliament is going to accept. well, in parallel with this , information appears with reference to sources in the service of the people that the faction is now close to final disorganization, and several dozen people's deputies immediately expressed a desire to draft a mandate due to the lack of motivation for this, that these people wanted leave the presidential faction. said, to things, and davyda rahamia, the head of the faction in the verkhovna rada of ukraine, but there is another people's deputy of ukraine in the servant of the people, serhii demchenko, who declared that the dictatorship. in ukraine as a tool can help defeat the enemy, let's listen to what demchenko said. i can tell you that

, indeed, the maximum number of decisions are made by the president, the maximum number of state bodies are oriented to the president, and for sure the full responsibility for war issues, international issues is one hundred percent on the president, and we for today. we have it, and it is probably the only thing that now centralizes and optimizes decision-making for our country in a timely manner and, probably, quite reasonably. for the country, for the people, dictatorship is definitely always a negative, but for the victory of the war, perhaps this is the tool that can help. defeat the enemy mr. maksym, mr. demchenko says that the dictatorship will help ukraine win the war with russia.

what could you say to this people's deputy of ukraine regarding the use of dictatorship during war, and obviously it will not end in victory? well, here it should be admitted, purely in a theoretical political scientist. aspect that authoritarian regimes and totalitarian regimes quite often have great advantages in conditions of war, that is, putin has the opportunity not to count too much, for example, with the loss of manpower, and, as we can see, he does not even lose the votes of the voters, that is, on at certain historical stages, authoritarian regimes and other forms of dictatorship, so to speak... have certain advantages in some components, but i would like to say here that the situation in ukraine, the specific situation that we have today, it is, so to speak

, the least favorable, it is favorable for any dictatorship or such a monologue of the authorities, that is, the authorities very often demonstrate such obvious helplessness and incompetence in their own. decisions that, well, it's even scary to think what could happen in the event of an attempt even by some kind of dictatorship or such a complete monopolization of power, well, actually , we see how it is possible to win in a war, on the example of how the processes around the idea of ​​mobilization, around the passing a new law and so on , that is, well, this is done in the worst way to... could it have been worse to organize additional mobilization or additional means for mobilization than the way it was done, so i think that, well, these

considerations, they only confirm , that the ruling team today does not assess the situation and its capabilities very adequately, mr. olezh, is this the inadequacy of one deputy, or is it still a test case. society on this is a test for dictatorship or how people will perceive during the war, or this is it possible or is it impossible? and no, i would not yet equate the statements of one deputy with testing, let alone with the position of the authorities, after all, we don’t see dozens of speakers who say the same thing from different cans , and affiliated ones, for example, or public ones, we you plus or minus understand how such things are usually tested, and it is usually not one deputy. this whole cascade of similar statements is made, but the fact that this deputy reflects the thoughts of a part of the government inside, they are confused about how to get out of the crisis situation

of today's management model, that's for sure, in this case it seems to me that it is sufficiently representative from the point of view of those opinions that circulate in various offices and that are held by some, in particular, the deputy corps. regarding dictatorship or democracy, then it is necessary to expand the horizon a little, as a minimum. to talk about it in two dimensions: firstly, dictatorships can be more effective in the short distance, in the long run, in a long confrontation, which no dictatorship has won in open and democratic societies, the moreover, when we talk about a crisis of a general educational level, and today the russian-ukrainian war is far from a local war, not even a regional conflict, it is already the first, i would say the first and the first glocal world war, since it has one side of the sign. locality, and on the other hand, both by its nature and its influence, it is already a global war. but the second aspect is important, it is the symphony or harmony between the social system and the management model

that exists. of course, if you have a dictatorship is built on a submissive society, where the paternal type of political culture, or the subject type, dominates, and accordingly, then for you , an effective management model is to take everything under control and take it to the nail. war is not the time to change these patterns. the army is always an extension of society. you cannot build a decentralized army in a centralized society. where in a centralized society it is decentralized on the contrary. you can't do. army more innovative than your society can be, same with governance models: in wartime , if you try to transform a democratic society into a dictatorial type of governance, it will break, and vice versa, if you try to play with democracy in a society that is used to running in order, you will end up with anarchy, so here is the strangeness and the challenge is not how to optimize management models by

simplifying them and taking manual control. on the contrary , through the construction of a management model organic to society, which would be legitimate in the eyes of this society, and it will be the most effective from the point of view of organization of processes, because in a long war, a war of attrition, the winner is not the strongest, the best organized, who manages to work with the greatest coefficient of useful action, distributing efforts along the length, being able to renew them and synchronizing the front and the rear, so... this one wins the subject, and not the one who simply concentrated all the power in one striking fist and tries to use it as a club to solve the issue. thank you, mr. olezh, mr. vitaly, is it possible for the concentration of power, well, in this case , a dictatorship, as the people's deputy says ukraine, overcome not even the parliamentary crisis, you said that there is a political crisis in the country, can the dictatorship overcome the political crisis? well, actually speaking, this is

a simple solution. just a solution to a complex issue, well, if you have different tensions in different spheres of society, you have economic problems, you have misunderstandings or, let's say, dissonance in relations with business, you have accumulated problems in relations with civil society, with activists , you are constantly in the focus of media criticism, actually does not work bureaucratic vertical, which is ... blood clots are formed, problems of a corrupt nature accumulate, management inefficiency in general, inability to strategize processes, in addition, you still have problems related to the struggle of various groups, own political forces, then obviously a simple solution is centralize everything, strengthen the vertical of power as much as possible, appoint people loyal to you and manage in manual mode, and indeed, i will agree with my colleagues, in ukraine manual mode

is always... do such an authoritarian turn, it encounters resistance, and such a conscious, clear resistance from a large part of society and even the power apparatus, which is not ready to return to such methods, as a result we will have deepened political crises, and then even elections during the war will not help, believe me , even reformatting the government and a new prime minister will not help the current government, because it will already be... measures that will be delayed at the call and request of society, which will rise against the attempt to tighten the nuts like this and establish a direct authoritarianism, but the fact is that i was in this studio when this deputy stated this, we were the next to enter the microphone, i heard the entire discussion in which he participated, he actually admitted that there were problems with relations with

the locals. communities, for example, he honestly said that he should collect all taxes from local communities, and this causes opposition, that after taxes come powers, that there is an informal flow of power to state military-civilian administrations from local local self-governments, which means that in terms of territorial communities, who have certain political ambitions, this causes not just sabotage, but it causes , well... active political opposition, that is, people start somehow to unite, communicate, conduct certain political campaigns, and this is already a thawing of the entire political process , and we we are already observing it, the same thing is happening in business, well, with all the statements about some new social contracts, someone is going to sign with someone, or there are entrepreneurship councils to be formed.
