it is outside germany on the territory of the soviet union, i will remind you of this constantly today, for those who do not remember how the second world war began, how this day is perceived in zaporizhzhia today, and again, are there people who still want to go back to the past, please, well, as for today, you know, the zaporozhian people were a little not up to it, precisely because of the massive attacks, but if you look at how it happened during the last two years, of course , that... there is no longer such a victory beast, as we say, it was there eight years ago, and five years ago, but this wave is still a little abated, and of course, we cannot say that all of us in zaporizhzhia are now exclusively ukrainian patriots, and the influence of the russian peace, which lasted for many, many years, but at least we can say for sure that these people have become fewer, and if there are, they do not advertise their position now, because... zaporizhzhia

is a front-line city, the war is very felt here especially, we have a lot of soldiers, we probably have in every family or an acquaintance, or someone who is currently serving, and you know, if there were some people there before who gathered people and even tried to organize a retreat of this immortal regiment in zaporizhzhia, then there is no such thing now and they will definitely not succeed , because people will not understand it. therefore, we will believe that it will continue to be so, and in the end, this is all irrigation, it will remain somewhere in the past, well , i will ask you finally, there was a statement from the ukrainian energy experts that the enemy will not be able to heal crimea with the zaporizhia nuclear power plant, but again, it will not technically be possible, there were mentioned such more political and legislative problems, which definitely never stopped the enemy. implementation of his

plans, he may or may not be able to according to some laws, well, russia has always not cared about it, it does not care about its own laws, let alone the laws of ukraine or international law, then is there any information that comes to the point that is the enemy still trying to throw something over there, as they say plus and minus, and heal crimea or the occupied territories from the zaporizhia nuclear plant? please, unfortunately, i can't add anything new in this regard, you said the latest operational one. more information is coming from the nuclear power plant about what the russians are doing there, recently it was reported that they have deployed a training ground for their own uavs there, and as for such energy issues, well, in principle, there is very little information, only here these are the official comments you make on air, thank you very much for joining in, thank you for your comments. and

as part of this premiere , a charity event aimed at collecting books by ukrainian writers was also held. all the people who came to today's premiere brought books by ukrainian authors, these books are kept on the shelf right here in the ukrainian house, where the premieres will later be transferred to ukrainian libraries, these books will be collected from today until may 17. what is the essence and purpose of such an action? let's hear the next comment. we've always wanted to do some support. on the tragic date of may 13 - it is the day of commemoration of the death of mykola khvylovy, and we had this idea that we can show with such an action that ukrainian writers are alive, that the memory about them is not destroyed,

the word house is an endless novel above the tape, the film team worked for more than 10 years, the premiere was supposed to take place in 2022. however , a full-scale russian invasion prevented it, the scenes were shot in kharkiv, but all the main scenes were in the capital. the tape was also presented at the warsaw film festival in the 21st year. ukrainians will be able to see it starting tomorrow, may 9. so from tomorrow , this film will be released, this film will be released in the national cinema distribution. at the moment, i have all the information, so i will pass it on to vasyl. you! thank you very much, tetyana golonova, our correspondent for the presentation of the movie: the house of the word, the endless roman. i strongly advise you to go and see it, to support the ukrainian film producer, of course, and in general to get pleasure and more information about those times and about those great and suffering people.

from now on, general valery zaluzhnyi, an honorary citizen of kyiv. the former commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine was awarded this title by the kyiv council. zaluzhnyi became an honorary citizen of the capital for merit. in defense of the sovereignty of ukraine and for repelling the enemy during the defense of the capital, the title of honorary citizen of the capital was awarded to the outstanding poet and legend of ukrainian literature lina kostenko. let me remind you that in march, lari zaluzhny became the ambassador of ukraine to great britain. the day of remembrance and victory over nazism in the second world war, volodymyr zelenskyi took part in a commemoration near the monument of his mother's homeland, during his speech the president compared nazism 80 years ago with the current russian terror, the head of state also presented the order of the golden star to relatives of fallen heroes of ukraine, too the commander-in-chief awarded the soldiers with the cross of combat merits. as it was 80

years ago, now humanity should remember the victory over nazism, not the ruins, and it will be, and let those whose courage, whose strength with... never disappear from human memory. preserve life on earth, let cooperation and law prevail, which ensure normal, peaceful coexistence between peoples. on may 8, ukraine commemorates the day of remembrance and victory over nazism in the second world war of 1939-1945. about replacing symbols and path of our state before rethinking this date, more details in our story.

victory day was celebrated on one of the ukrainian tv channels in 2021 with such a large-scale concert. even before the great invasion , traditional russian pathos around the triumph of the red army was imposed on us. people went crazy over the so -called victory day, well, that's... just a manifestation of what happens when memory is erased, and when a memorial day becomes part of an ideology that has nothing to do with history. in russia, even defeats are greeted with parades of equipment and st. george ribbons. as the experts point out, there is nothing to do with the holiday so... symbols, because orders and military symbols are just the same, instead of a narrative, they never

hint again, we can't repeat it. russia justified and led preparations for a new war, because the cult of the victory monster is the devaluation of suffering, the devaluation of the crime of war, the devaluation of the losses and the scale and tragedy of the war, because in the cult of victory , instead of... this truth about the war, there is only a victory parade in ukraine since 2014, it has become a symbol of the memory of the second world war red poppy its flowers represent the bloody traces of bullets. this symbol honors the victims of military and civil armed conflicts all over the world. therefore, since 2015 , ukraine, together with all civilized states, pays tribute to the victims and winners of that war. war on may 8 with a red poppy on his chest, the first moment of peace. poppy became such

a symbol of a delicate transition from this, which replaced all this, sorry, brutal russian slander with something calm, with dignity and respect. this transition, respectively, from all these russia's victory-mongering practices, such as we can repeat and so on, to this slogan never again, but i am glad that it has, in principle , acquired such a thing. the actual ukrainian interpretation and under the slogan we remember we win. experts add that the new date and the correct meanings of the day of victory and reconciliation should take root among ukrainians in the right years. although nowadays everyone already understands that the war is not celebrated, but only remembered with fear. last year, may 9 became europe day, a symbol of our hard-fought struggle for freedom and european rights. future, today, ukrainians are more europeans than europeans themselves, because it is

ukraine and ukrainians today who are the bearers of those general principles and values ​​of the free world formulated in recent times, because ukrainians pay daily with their blood for these values, not just theirs declare may 8 and 9 became not just replacements of dates, but part... of a much broader process of decolonization and changes in ukraine. today, we, like the entire developed world, honor, not celebrate. well, actually, and now our special project begins. i have a memory of 10 years and i i would like to introduce the guest who visited us today to talk about this, yerena yasenevich,

she is the director of the liberation movement research center, i congratulate you, i congratulate you, and we will actually start anyway, probably with the plot, in which we will tell and show more , then we will discuss it and you will definitely bring more important information both about this date and about the war that raged many decades ago, about the participation of ukrainians in this war, so a tragedy lasting six years for... losses according to various data from 50 up to 75 million people, among them from eight to 10 million ukrainians, who won in the second world war and why ukrainians are not... not indirectly involved in the destruction of nazism, let's look further, now the story is being prepared for the ether, just a few seconds i want to say, you know, there was once such a story, when either putin or some russian representatives came to poland, they talked about how they liberated this concentration camp, the prisoners of this concentration camp, and then the poles said, well, it was done by the soldiers

of the ukrainian front, this verbatim about how they remember ukrainians in world war ii. let's watch the story, then we'll discuss. we remember, we win. the day of remembrance and victory over nazism is a symbolic day of the surrender of germany and the end of the war in europe. until recently, the russians tried to impose on us that it was the soviet army that triumphed in the second world war. completely neglecting the significant contribution of ukrainians to the victory of the anti-hitler coalition. at the time after the start of the war, the ukrainian people were forcibly divided between several states, so in some places ukrainians were forced to kill ukrainians and fight for other people's interests, moreover, ukrainian territories also became the arena of atrocities. in general, our ancestors fought in the armies of the ussr, poland, the usa, great britain, canada, france and the upa itself.

together, this is more than 7 million people. ukrainian oleksiy berest raised the flag of the ussr. above the reichstag, the ukrainian michael strang, the us flag on iwo jima, the tank that demolished the gate of the auschwitz birkinau concentration camp was commanded by the ukrainian ihor pobirchenko. cumulative demographic losses of ukrainians and citizens of ukraine and other nationalities during 1939-1945, currently estimated at over 8 million people. in fact, ukrainians had to stand on different sides of the front. after that, there was no enmity left, only a bitter understanding of the losses. this is precisely what united both the veterans of the red army and the veterans of the upa, who lived to be able to speak calmly among themselves, lived to dialogue, and who understood each other very quickly, in fact, well, quite quickly, maybe as quickly as we would like them, their grandchildren, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, but

got along, understood each other, because they... understood the price, that's why by 2023 may 8 was officially considered a day of remembrance and reconciliation, the reconciliation of both sides for the sake of world peace, which russia could not resist violating, it is not about someone winning over someone, but that it is the day of victory over nazism, something has passed and reconciliation between europeans, it is obvious that now in ukraine, for example, it cannot be formulated in this way, because... the understanding of that terrible struggle continues to be formed among ukrainians. it is important to understand that the victory was not won by the red army, but by the anti-hitler coalition, and not in the great patriotic war, but in the second world war, and the contribution of ukrainians to this victory cannot be overestimated. the evolution took place in the direction

that, initially, there are two versions, two variants of views on the second world war. well, that the great patriotic war is only a segment of the second world war, because of the explanation, and how and when it was selected, for what politically, and already because of the explanation of this, to the fact that ukraine gradually began to move more in the direction of the western concept of europe the second world war brought death factories, the holocaust and atomic bombing into world history. then participants on both sides the chinese sides... violated all laws and rules of hostilities. today, russia continues this trend, and ukrainians, as in the past, give their lives for peace in europe and the world. let's talk about it, irena yasenevich, i remind you, she is the director of the liberation movement research center. let's start with why

today, well let's start with the main why stalin and hitler started world war 2, the key fact. which may open someone's eyes, although i think everyone already understands how for someone they will be a reminder that this war was started not only in berlin? on august 23, 1939, they signed the molotov ribetrop pact, well , they signed the molotov ribetrop pact, as the representatives of those two countries signed the non-aggression pact, and with that document of stalin, the stalinist ussr freed hitler's hands to attack. to western europe, in the body hitler believed that everything was calm with him, moreover, he not only solved, they also provided methodological and military assistance to the germans until the moment, as they believed there in the soviet union, of a treacherous attack on the soviet union, but then already at that moment hitler felt quite confident, so he launched a war on two fronts, but

if, well, history does not know this connection, but if the soviet union did not help hitler, perhaps he would not have so easily marched through western europe, not captured, and this war would be localized on... much earlier, i read sovorov's book, it's called operation thunderstorm, where he talks about the fact that the germans had already invaded the territory of the soviet union, and the echelons with resources continued to go, well, some kind of rolled metal, something else necessary for the german army from the territory of the soviet union, well, plus i will remind you that luftwaffe pilots were trained at the training grounds of the soviet union, marshal paulus also trained in the future. and here he trained in the soviet union, because there could not be these formations on the territory of germany, it’s simple, and again, when hitler attacked, well, first there were the sudetenland, then the anschluss of

austria, but the war itself began with the attack on poland, and at the same time hitler was tearing apart the baltic countries, then finland, then this joint parade in brest, where the nazis and soviet troops, and western ukraine, that is, us, when we talk about the annexation of poland. to say that it concerned western ukrainians, and this whole concept of memory, which he gave up 10 years ago, was about returning to history the people who were in it, and that is from 39 to 41 years, supposedly ukrainians did not exist, as if there was no attack on carpathian ukraine, as if western ukraine did not come under occupation, and how come we simply did not mention them, because... not to mention that the soviets came and that they did by entering western ukraine and what they did in the 41st year and what the soviets did, what the hitlerites did and what

hitler's allies did, we mean now, let's remember the horthy regime at the time, if i'm not mistaken hungary, what they did in zakarpattia, today's zakaratta, yes, and well, it's great, it's two years of tragedy for several million people, and only if we think about it, only in the 14th year ukraine officially said this: we remember them, we remembered, we this dating of the 41st and 45th was still extended to the war period, and here if the following challenges, which are about seeing that, well, for carpathian ukraine, the war began on march 15, 39, that is, before this official world date, and in the end, for ukrainians , the war continued for a long time, because in the face of the ukrainian pistan army, it lasted until, well, until the 50th year of the fourth , while there was an osta, the last commander-in-chief of the upa fought, and the last battles took place in the 60s, that is, this is the framework of the war, but they cannot be so

narrowly defined in the ukrainian experience, and now it seems to me that even over time , which it is important to talk about the real ukrainian experience in the second world war, because we are slowly turning our faces towards ourselves. and we recall all these varieties of experience, unfortunately, we recall in conditions when we, well, in the same terrible conditions as people, in the period of the forties, here it is important to say that ukrainians are not only on several fronts, there the first ukrainian, the second ukrainian went to liberate europe, ukrainians were members of the army's combat units. countries allied to the anti-hitler coalition with canada, from the united states of america, from great britain, came here to the continent to fight ukrainians, perhaps the most interesting stories that i know, that there was a ukrainian

hero who received an award from the hands, from the hands of the then british king for his exploits on the battlefield, i just don't remember his last name, unfortunately, but i know for sure that ukrainians manifested themselves in various armies, is this being investigated and again, are there... well, at least approximate numbers of ukrainians in the armies, well and likewise in the polish army when it was attacked by hitler and stalin from one side and the other, you know that, this is such a big dark spot that we are trying to clear up, because, for example, ukrainians in concentration camps, you mentioned auschwitz, about the fact that the ukrainians were liberated front, and so the ukrainian first ukrainian front mainly. six of the soldiers were still ukrainians, although it was called that not only because it was exclusively composed and commanded by a ukrainian, but when we talk, for example, about the prisoners of auschwitz,

as well as about the soldiers of others. armies, or they were revealed by the ukrainians, because somewhere in auschwitz several hundred people who were prisoners, who were recorded as ukrainians, were members of the uun and the upa, but their position was to record them that way, and the rest of the ukrainians, who were many, many thousands there, were recorded either by russians, because it was all soviet people, or, accordingly , by poles, if they got there from the territory that ukrainians...belonged to poland, and now these detailed studies are just continuing, but i know specifically pauschwitz, an employee of our center , dr. olesya isayuk, she researches it, if we talk about participants in other armies, well, it’s like now with this great cultural restitution, access to the archives, let’s say the same canadians, their surnames, their origins, because for example , here i went, all the broadcasts about

michael strenk ended. which is recorded in this age-old photograph of the flag raising over yevodzima, well, strank is not a ukrainian surname, it was researched in order to find out that he is a ukrainian, and moreover, a person who at that time recognized himself as ukrainian, but there is a lot of that, and we still are we know very little of ourselves, ourselves in this war of the past. you know, in the story we were watching, there were initially shots of the celebration of may 9, 2021 in ukraine. it was presented on one of the tv channels, well , we remember all these words that we will not, i just do not want to speak russian, i even know very well these presenters who voiced it personally, but what does it mean that we will not call the streets by their names nazi henchmen, it had already been renamed and here in kyiv bandera avenue was also shukhevych, we remember it well, it was 21 years ago, it was a year before

full-scale i want to understand here why it worked in ukraine for a long time, that it is only the work of the russian agency in the media and politics, which allowed this, but this is the 21st year, 2021, it is not the 12th, well, i think in including the position of those people, because in the 21st year, being on the tv channel, everyone is at the marathon, now they are all for victory, but here is the archive, they are not collecting it, let's give credit that every person has a time of enlightenment, and a moment of insight. if even he came with rockets, after all, it is our people, why did they do it yes, because for a long time ukraine generally preferred not to mention the past and the second world war, and even in russia, by the way, well , in the early 90s, everyone was busy with the crisis and survival, later, when the russians began to actively build their own myth, which was obviously built on the need for this revenge,

and we can repeat this slogan... these are huge resources, nothing further happened here, and the information field at that time was also largely occupied, and where it was not occupied, there was simply no alternative product offered because there was always not enough money for this, and well , this narrative of the great patriotic war and a single people, the winner, was built and entered the heads of some people later... what are you giving an example, although i believe that it was me too, i it seemed that in ukraine, when she said on the tv channel, i understood what it was about, i think that it was a political position, and a valuable position, to belong to something big, bigger, to those who lack a country of 50 million and the creation of some kind of product , a creative product

his own "who looks up to the elder brother, and in the shadow of the elder brother, tells this and approached, in fact approached, well, we can estimate how close the russian missiles were, but not that, well, it did not depend on us, after all, the russians release them, but that , what depended on us was that our ukrainians, the people, were unprepared and did not expect the kind of russian behavior that was happening here in busha, vorzel, i and my neighbors from vorzel, when i said, leave, they said, there is nothing wrong with the russians will do, and this broadcast on the 21st year, the boys came, not even the ones they expected, the ones that, i am talking about those people who did not want the russians, they would not do anything bad, they thought that there was nothing bad, these are the consequences of this propaganda, which was actually broadcast by tv channels in which the russian media had a share, that is, it is simple.

people who took part in this should ask themselves this.
