on the second anniversary of the liberation of kyiv region, volodymyr zelenskyi honored the memory of the ukrainians who were killed by the invaders under during the occupation of the buchansk community. the head of state installed a lamp to the wall of memory near the church of the holy apostle andrew the first-called. currently, the memorial contains 509 names of dead civilians who have been identified. some plates are still nameless. the ukrainians killed by the occupiers in buch are proof that... no one can remain aloof from this battle - zelenskyi said. the president thanked everyone who helps ukraine. when our soldiers expelled russia from buchi, zerpen, from borodyanka, from the entire kyiv region, and then from sumy region, from chernihiv region, everyone was able to see that these victories were not only due to ukrainian courage. and weapons, but also

of human morality, and may the whole world never forget what price this battle costs, and what evil we are stopping here on our land. on the second anniversary of the liberation of buchi in the kyiv region, the police identified more than a thousand russian invaders who stormed the city in february 2022, identified more than 100 soldiers who directly killed and tortured people. their profile data, positions held, places of residence, telephone numbers and data of relatives are known, noted in the national police. law enforcement officers know every russian commander who gave criminal orders to destroy buchi and its inhabitants. police officers not only document the actions of the enemy, but also study his tactics and way of thinking. let me remind you that after the deoccupation , 422 murdered persons were found in buchi. in total , 1190 were found in the area. they were not something

unforeseen or special, for example, the excess of individual performers, but were the result of specific orders and instructions that were proven by russian commanders in their personnel. we see clear the connection between the commands given by the immediate commanders to the personnel and the number of those killed in the territory of the city of bucha. on the eve of the elections to the european parliament, czech counter-intelligence with the participation of the sbu hijacked a russian network of influence on meps, behind it was the traitorous former people's deputy and putin's best man viktor medvedchuk. this is reported in corinforum with reference to its own sources: politicians were paid money for excoriating russia and the russian dictator in the european media. they also published anti-ukrainian and anti-european materials on... created

an artist who was born in podil, studied in odesa, at the krakow art academy, glorified lviv and all. ukraine, today has a guest - this is dzvenislava novakivska, pra law, great-granddaughter of oleks novakivskyi and the initiator of the novakivskyi special project. congratulations. congratulations. thank you for the invitation. dzvenoslava, thank you for finding the opportunity to come to us and talk about oleks novakivskyi. i will start with one phrase that resonates with me terribly. this is the phrase of taras lozynskyi, an icon painter of the lviv collector. a collector who said the following: i hate the expression novakivskyi is a talented ukrainian artist, he is a world -class artist, no one will put him on a pedestal, except for ourselves, i think that it is not only about novakivskyi can be said the same about many

ukrainian artists who are not understood and not liked by us, yes, please tell me, what is the uniqueness and value of novakivskyi? and why is he still not on the pedestal, in your opinion? i think it will be easier with the first, with the second more difficult, why these, why the value, well , we know all the world names, this is klimt, monet, van gogh, and these are the people who essentially helped world civilization, world art to move from such monochrome photographic art, which was... what about photographing reality, to move into a completely different world, where there is an understanding of oneself in this life through art, and this is how various currents were born, in particular impressionism and expressionism, and then, on these very foundations, there was already an avant-garde, which began

to move itself further, that is, in essence, that as industrialization in the economy was very important, and the one who fell out of this process, he became... a third world country there, art, it is the same as industrialization, it was important if it was a marker of what a country that was able to give birth in itself reinterpretation through art. could actually be considered civilized, and in fact novakivskyi, who made a leap from classical art, from symbolic art, and made an independent leap into impressionism, and then into expressionism, and, in fact, he did it not by himself, but with his students , with the environment that he taught this, we can say, this is essentially the road to equality with others. european countries, where this also happened, so he is a world-class

artist, and why is he in ukraine, and still not perceived as such by most people, and again here is still a mystery to me, yes, but if we look at the history of other people's classics, because in essence it is a classic, and how many years did it take us to start unpacking and... to think of lesya ukrainka, not just like a forest song, but the one who actually reinterpreted, through antiquity, reinterpreted who ukrainians are, what is the fate of ukrainians, and, through ancient works, she rearranged them , rebroadcast. novakivskyi , for a large part of his works, is exactly what he is also, it was based on rebirth, and there's a lot of rebirth symbolism, very much so. there are many reinterpreted myths that he carried, which are, well, let's say, for

the average person, in soviet times, it was very harmful, uh, it was not possible to introduce it into the world context at all, it was, it was dangerous, it was dangerous , and that's why, actually, if we're talking about him, one of the reasons is that he was procrastinated by the soviet authorities, i'm sorry, but at one time we had the scrap of shevchenko and, as a singer of the poor people, well, it was a scrap of a man who actually could paint peasants, and that is, this ethnography, that is the only thing that was left, how it could be inscribed at least somehow in the socialist realist life, and if. some certain, like some certain element, at the same time, like the same

taras luzynskyi, he said, there is a big problem with us art historians, precisely because we are a school of art historians, it was in moscow, yes, that what was happening in kyiv at the level of knowledge and art research was very strongly persecuted and limited, and it went through the colonial narrative, and that is why it is absolutely normal that now... we have a lack of well-educated art researchers who could unpack such strata and reinterpret them in modern and modern realities, so you are very well explained his pulsating style, what is it, how do you feel it, what is the pulsating style of novakivskyi? oh, this is a very good story, because i have to say to the promotion expert that i was lucky, because the godmother... diana klitschko, and she

just paid attention to what she was saying, look, all living objects, that is, all of them, both people and plants, and in novakivskyi, they have a pulsating contour, which means that it is a multi-layered one, so you know, and when we started discussing with her what it was about could mean, but we investigated that it is possible that it is precisely about this pressure of time. and with the beginning of a full-scale war, i realized that it fits very well into this concept, because when we are under strong psychological or physical pressure, then essentially our body is compressed and when compressed, it begins to vibrate, and this the vibration of the body compressed under the pressure of time, challenge and crisis, it is exactly what he depicted it like that, and this is his discovery, his style, which... has not been researched, has not been named yet, but it is clearly, well, his, his paintings can be recognized very quickly precisely because it

is precisely his style and his, his paintings, because of this special outline, and you very correctly say that this feeling, this feeling of the tension of the war, the uncertainty of what it was, and this is exactly the type that goes through and and and works in the times of the first world war. war, as well before the second world war, and before the second world war, but i am now referring to this particular work of his, the angel of death, an impressive work where the angel stands and holds. a young man, a young man's body, can you tell me about this picture, what it means, what it means to him, what was there, who is this young man? and i will say right away that this is one of the works that he dedicated to the sich marksmen, and actually to those soldiers who went to defend, i wanted to say,

the country, but not yet, not the country. and this work is actually just us again let's take an ancient image, this is an angel of death, who with dignity gives the opportunity to pass to someone who fought for his country, to go through this path, it is interesting that in fact it is very much about the angel of death about the river styx, it has a lot there is an understanding of reflections, and... and he also has such a story that what is the end is the beginning, and actually this transition, it is important for this beginning to have a different energy, a different intention , and it is significant that he dressed the angel of death not just in the usual wings, but he gave him hutsul clothes, as it were, just exactly

hutsul clothes that flutter. as if the wings are behind, behind this angel, and it is as if it is a special feature that gives respect, because angels do not wear clothes, and they do not wear hutsul clothes even more so, but it is like this certain connection between the respect for this dignity that this person has in himself this warrior, and this dignity as a connection with the roots for which you stood, and then this root is in transition and it is being built further in... the life of the deceased, as well as the next generations. listen, this means that he had a very good understanding of world culture and art. did the karakiv academy of arts or something else give him this education, where did he get this knowledge? there is an interesting point that ivan

golubovsky's memoirs are there, it is actually his biographer, it must be said that this is his biographer, a person who is his friend, right? well, it’s almost like a brother , as vangoga was his brother, who worried about him, and there was actually ivan golubovsky, who was like the named brother, and in these memories, he mentions odessa, with novakivski, as he talks about odessa , and it's an ode, it's not even the krakow academy yet , it's odesa, in which he spent almost all the money he earned on books, ugh, and there 's one of the scenes there when, i mean, he... portrays, portrays exactly that family , to which i invited them, and in the process they consider what else he has there, and there is a lacoon, and actually he says that i research, research mythology, i research michelangelo, i research the renaissance itself and try to reproduce and to catch this art, to know it and

learn to follow it, so that is, for was it important to him even before the krakow academy? since you have already talked about odessa, i will ask you now about studying in odessa and about studying in krakow, you know that i was interested in the fact that studying in odessa was actually paid for by a local forestry engineer, i understand that this podillia, yes, who obviously saw talent in this child, and this child. 16-year-old , since he is still sending him to study in odesa at the workshop of pylyp klymenko, you are actually talking about this family, yes and no, no, the family was different about another, he lived in another family in odessa, well, this is such a story that before he went to odessa, he was already studying, and when he came to odessa, he already came with

certain knowledge, with a certain artistic level, and klymenko accepted him as. someone who could make a living, and therefore he painted portraits in order to make a living. yes, of course, that’s not it anymore, he was not such a simple child, a child who is not ready at all, and i am also curious that the scholarship for studying in krakow was also allocated by the bzozowski family, it is the employers of his father, who was a forester, so in this family that is... in both situations, i remembered , you know that little myron franko, franko's story, yes, when, when someone notices, when the child is lucky, and someone notices the talent and gives. it's the same with shevchenko, and we are with many people there, let's say this, if

we go through a lot of names of ukrainian sculpture, history repeated itself and that it was an exceptional talent of a child from a not very rich family there, which was so exceptionally manifested and strengthened by charisma or stubbornness in my case, even actually. just his stubbornness, because he told dad the forester, who had already prepared his destiny for him, at a young age he had a vision when he met god, and god told him that he, well, you will be a magician, and he, as they say, there if it was like a bird, it if there was tuk-tuk-tuk, tuk-tuk-tuk, and he actually persuaded his dad to do this, and in the end they let him go to odessa, they just let him go to study, uh, and then he came back, so that dad lost his job. he had to go to work as a clerk, but then, when the situation had stabilized a little, right there they sent him to odesa, then they returned back and

a teacher from kraków came to the brzezowskis from kraków, i don't remember if from the kraków academy, but from kraków, and he just saw oleksa's talent, and he too , time and time again once he persuaded, it was also a very difficult decision, he persuaded the brzezowskis to give him a scholarship to send him to the krakow academy, and then in krakow he had an identity conflict. conflict as the choice, although you may be right, that actually here is a situation about a moment because of a conflict , that is, because of a confrontation, when brzesovsky actually gave a scholarship, then, when he was accepted, they looked at him and bet on a very promising polish artist who could stand next to the names of great polish artists. he

is the only one from the ukrainian galaxy who graduated from the krakow academy with a gold scholarship, which gave him the right to study at any university in europe, and he has there were absolutely brilliant teachers, and that too, but also the scholarship... it was the same with full maintenance, there was only one rule, one rule, and the rule sounded like this: you become a polish artist, and at that moment i understand , that they overprinted, overprinted , and because until a certain period he even signed paintings in two languages, sometimes he could sign in ukrainian, sometimes he could sign in polish, that is, this game, it, it was, well , my great-grandmother, it was... polish vodka, she has polish, polish blood, polish roots, and er, that is, it's mine it seems that it was very much about the fact that he was probably overwhelmed by this desire to make him

a polish artist, and he at that moment, he made his own decision to resist, er, and - most likely, it was his talent and this ability to be yourself... this connection with identity played a role in his partnership with sheptytskyi and subsequently precisely in those projects that they created together, so they met before 1923, so that is, on the 23rd, shaptytskyi offers him to establish an art school, even earlier, earlier, it's just that this school was already founded in 1923, since they met, please tell me, and oh... now i don't remember the date, but they met earlier, it was through golubovsky, they got to know each other through golubovsky , because golubovsky was a lawyer, yes

he is a lawyer, yes he was an advocate lawyer, a lawyer, and actually just with oleksya, they met in a very strange way, because when he graduated from the academy, he ended up near krakow, well, i don’t know buch there, relatively speaking, he is from kyiv moved to bucha, and in bucha he... he just lay there the patient and the doctor asked one to stop by and take a look, and this doctor, he simply saw his paintings and realized that he must be invested in him, and he put him on his feet, and the doctor turned out to be the husband of golobovsky's sister, and that's how they became friends, and that's how they ended up in the cedar chambers. sheptytskyi, who were in the carpathians, because in the carpathians at that time it was very fashionable to go to the country, in fact, they had such places there, this one, country houses like that, and they

met everything was discussed there very much, they were in a very interesting , intelligent environment, and in fact, just as if cheptytsky and cheptytsky met for the first time, then when there was a big personal exhibition of nowakivskyi in kraków, it was actually just that sheptytsky was at this exhibition, he saw it , this exhibition and eh - well, i think that it's just that he thought to himself that when they actually lost. we just signed the treaty of versailles, after the treaty of versailles ukraine was unable to gain its separate independence, yes, let me remind you that this is the collapse of the empire in our country, while poland was able to do it anyway, ukraine was not able to prove its right to an independent country, er, there is a version that actually, shaptytsky thought that there was not enough support, in poland there was support on the nobility,

and... . in ukraine, there was not enough reliance on the elite, there were not enough highly educated people, who would not just be highly educated, but who would have wealth and could have a sufficient influence on society, and that is, what we are actually facing now, history is very much repeating itself , and he then thought that it is necessary to make her a school, which in fact would not be just like an art academy, but one that would, well... a person of the renaissance era, i would say so, create from those people who could come and take on this choice to be ukrainians, it amazes me that sheptytsky understood this need so deeply that he invested money in it, yes, he allocated scholarships for later, when this school had already emerged, yes, he invested

scholarships in... children, there were many children there, how many people studied there, about 100, about 100 people, and he, it’s him , he also went to the carpathians, actually their trips to the carpathians, sheptytskyi financed this too, it’s even more systematic, but, when they say that there is a sheptytskyi patron, and, well then, firstly, it is a myth that sheptytskyi was a patron of novakivskyi, it was not so, and secondly, sheptytskyi, in fact, created the system. which could then support art, culture and education, and very often it was the case that these were not his funds, but it was a certain system that helped exactly, well there there with studies, with trips and so on , yes, because, for example, when they went out for plein air, because plein air is when artists go out into nature and paint, they actually paint in nature, novakivskyi brought

this fashion to lviv, he. .. took his students out into nature, because, well, if you make a photographic story, then you can sit there in the room and draw, he said that if you really want to catch the spirit, and learn to catch the true spirit of what you depict, it is necessary to go and and to draw, but this is how leonardo da vinci walked there with a notebook, and they did the same, he taught his students in the same way and did so himself, that is, there are a lot of sketches in search of that, and... how to reveal this story of this soul, this imprint of truth , and well, on the other hand, it is the creation of a cultural environment, because i understood that a community had already been created there, here, here was the story, that there were, well, the scientific society named after taras shevchenko, it was one story, there was education, and there were other groups, sheptytskyi contributed to the creation of different ones groups, because the story is there, that is, he,

for example, had a bank. that's how the bank was created, the bank gave the opportunity, gave credit to small businesses, but then when the small businesses started to get on their feet there, they laughed that they all started paying social tax, voluntary social tax, and this voluntary social tax, that was what helped all this grow, the ukrainian secret university is the phenomenal history of an institution that stood alone. on the payments of those people like us as volunteer payments, yes, what are there guys, this is an amazing story about the ukrainian secret university, unfortunately we don't have much time to talk about it, but if you could in a few words, i'm sure that many people don't know about the ukrainian secret university, if you could tell, literally say a few words, because i understand that novakivskyi also headed the cafe at the ukrainian secret university.
