army needs, so every time you see some qr codes, card numbers, be active, meanwhile we will talk with our guest now in ours. studio is oleksandr muzychko, doctor of historical sciences from odesa, and we will talk about very important issues that concern our national identity, mr. oleksandr, congratulations, thank you for coming. good morning, you are a member toponymic commission under the odesa regional council. yes, well, at the odesa military administration, we know that already yesterday they agreed on the list of streets to be renamed. we would like to ask you whether this list is sufficient, whether the correct surnames appeared in this list, or whether everything is okay there? i would start by saying that all of this happens in context. decolonization, decolonization, let me remind you, must differ from decommunization and

differs in greater depth, because if decommunization was only about the communist part of the history of ukraine, about the times of the communist occupation, to my deep conviction, and these processes in odessa, it must be said, they were even earlier than in the whole of ukraine, well, if we do not take the west, the west of ukraine, that is, i will remind you that in... 990- in the 1980s, there were many monuments to lenin, but not all, but with decolonization in odessa and in the south of ukraine in general, and not only in the south of ukraine, even in kyiv, i think you know, you remember many questions, there was a big problem, because there were even manipulations here, and what is decolonization, they and now there is, that is, decolonization is quite simple, for example, remove the papidnik from catherine or some russian tsars, and that's it, and that's it, i'm a supporter of... a larger -scale, deeper view of decolonization, that is, decolonization is

a total reformatting of consciousness ukrainians from inferiority, from little russianism, from pro-russianness to deep ukrainian meanings, that is, i am concerned about exactly this, and as a member of this toponomic commission, i personally, i will speak for myself, but obviously some of my associates also support this opinion, for example, mr. artem kartashov, he made a great... contribution, the odesa lawyer represented by the veteran shhab, we did exactly this in this context, that is, we were not just talking about overthrowing, so to speak, names streets, to eliminate street names named after russian tsars, government officials, various russian and soviet poets, writers, but also to replace them with truly ukrainian surnames and not only ethnically ukrainian, but also those that represented. such a context of ukrainian patriotism, that is why figures of the 19th

century and the beginning of the 20th century appeared on the toponymic map of odessa, even ancient figures, if we talk about prince yaroslav, prince volodymyr, who may not be directly related to odessa, of course, yes, but they reflect such a certain cultural code of ukraine, and also a lot of those who gave their lives most dearly for the freedom of ukraine now appeared on the map. that is, the heroes of the russian-ukrainian war, and this is also a very important segment of renaming. i don't think now your question meant to i directly revealed each surname, but if you need such examples, i will tell a few so that it is clear, maybe someone does not know, the names of svyatoslav karavanskyi have now appeared on the toponymic map of odessa, maybe not everyone knows who he is, but here now they will find out, yes, that is, odesa by birth, that in odesa they are very interested in who was born where, well, i, for example, was born. odesa, i'll tell you right away, not to throw me on a plane, on a parachute from galicia, as is often said about me,

right? and this is nina strakata, his wife, this long-term fighters for the freedom of ukraine, i would say so, that is, well, but the more well-known concept of dissidents, that is, of the second half of the 20th century, this is also a whole series of outstanding figures, well, for example, the same lesya ukrainka, now , well, in fact, in the very in the center of odessa, this is... the former gagarin avenue will be named crimea, why is it very important, and we are now with you on shevchenko street, so that there will now be a certain intersection, that is , we have shevchenko avenue in odessa and its will go perpendicularly to lesya ukrainka, that's great, that is, we wanted such a certain one of composition, i, my colleagues, can also name taras honcheruk, a very famous odessa historian, public figure, that is, therefore. i believe that of course a lot has been done, but not everything, answering your question, about not everything, actually, how will you overcome the resistance

of the greek gennadius uzolopus, yes, uzopoulos, like him, or a fallen angel, i mean, or a member party of regions trukhanov, or the mayor of odesa, trukhanov, who loves varantsov and pushkin very much, and says he won't give it, well, i won't give it, i don't know, maybe he'll climb right on this one. monument will hug him, you can do it together with him, by the way, together with him - this is very important, because you correctly ask the question, what is decolonization, i believe that decolonization is also reformatting. modernity too, modernity, that is, we can rename the names of the streets, but until we change the current government, which has been tainted by pro-russianness for many years, and this is trukanov's own government in odesa and this entire vertical, well, i will have an impression and not only the fact that it didn't all happen to the end, indeed, that there is no sense of the irreversibility of the processes, then

at any moment, what trukhanov did, the monument to catherine, was... to throw it like that, but he carefully took it to the museum, and where it lies, that is, there is also the impression that now it will stand there and again it will be put there, and why, because this pedestal is not yet occupied, that is, the question of what will stand there has not yet been resolved, instead of resisting, well, resisting - it is necessary to organize, you need public life, so that it is necessary to organize, mr. oleksandr, i remember eduard yosypovovich hurwitz, he was like that. and now trukhanov is her carefully somewhere, how it is born and how it disappears, you mean exactly these historical ones, let's put catherine the second and the second that, how it all appeared, it appeared, all these monuments, all the names, they are of course from on the one hand, they reflected

the political struggle that was taking place, and this is always the case, because historical memory, historical monuments, they do not exist. vacuum, yes, why hurwitz once erected a monument to catherine, because hurwitz, like many of our politicians, sat on two chairs, if not on three, that is, on one on the one hand, he said certain things that the national democrats liked, he was on good terms even with vyacheslav chornovol, and by the way, chornovola street appeared in odessa a long time ago, but on the other hand, he wanted to play along with this savka pro-russian electorate , yes, that's why a tarpan was put up in memory of kateryna at the expense of a completely pro-russian figure, despite the protests of ukrainians, that is, it was a method of literally political struggle, a method of feeding one's electorate, since the situation has changed, then, well, i would say that they gradually remind me of those people who, if we, the ukrainian public,

remind me of such, you know, those who want to be cleansed. well taken away, well, why aren’t you satisfied yet, well, then keep something else, that is, they have a very hard time giving up their treasures, so to speak, and why is it so hard for them to say goodbye to it after it already becomes, as they say, the information is better known, i am not talking about odesa, for example, but i will move to podilsk, so one... a known looter, a bandit who worked at the waiting station, kotovskyi yes, and there is a mausoleum, kotovsky’s mausoleum, well , people now know what this was doing in bessarabia and in moldova, well , people know your phrase, it’s actually not that simple, because for people, what is

a person in general, yes , that is, who is such a person, it is a bunch of different layers, including, excuse me, even such a... entno, not to say, schizophrenic property, that is , for many people, they are not consistent in their value system, i would even say more, many people do not have a complex value system at all, they can with one hand there or today to say that i love ukraine and let russia disappear, yes, but on the other hand to hold on to the values ​​of the soviet union, because this is their youth, yes, because they used to kiss there, well, they didn't kiss. well, not with kotovskyi, i mean that this is their youth, you see, they lived there, there was some kind of tree near which, that is, they are whole psycho-emotional complexes, i understand it perfectly, for example, for them zhvanetsky, i absolutely i'm sure that most of them can't quote zhvanetsko, whom we renamed by the way, and i was clearly in favor of this, for this slob

putinsky, who loved odessa from moscow, you see, in odessa there is such a very interesting segment of people who talk about real odessans. for example, in their understanding, i am not a real odesa, yes, although i have lived in odesa all my life, because i speak ukrainian , i am ukrainian, but you can live under 40 in moscow, love ukraine, love odesa and visit there, show off , the boulevard on which i grew up, by the way, that is, when it was not named yet, will be named after you during your lifetime zhvanetskyi, zhvanetskyi, well, real doctors will call you out, so these people don't know a thing.' and most of them, yes, for them it's just a certain symbol of this, these psycho-emotional complexes, and that's why we have to rename the objects, because to finally break this umbilical cord, it wo n't be... not immediately, that's all , i, for example, and not only me, we are perfectly aware that these are only such bricks, these are chains, because

but you never said, this mausoleum of kotovsky, it will disappear, or will continue to disappear, all this will disappear , it will definitely disappear, it's not that my optimism is so fleeting, i'm more of a realist than an optimist, but it will definitely disappear, the memory of these things is already perceived, it is perceived completely differently, young people obviously do not perceive all this. these are just certain electoral games, i perceive it that way, that is , politicians do not want, realizing that people of a certain age come to the polling station, basically, yes, they do not want to somehow, so to speak, from entering into discussions with these people , to lose my electorate, i perceive it this way, and secondly, what is even more difficult, i mean, even a serious crime, some of our politicians still have certain ... problems and business related to the fact that their capital, and opinions, and connections with russia, despite the fact that we are in the third year full-scale war, i

have been in a state of war since the 14th year, but i understand, i am aware of what i say, and i think that many often have the impression that it is not over, hence the search for good russians, you understand that and many other things, by the way, we too, many members of the commissions were convinced of exactly this, which should be left many actors. they say they are good russians, well , that is, not even in a national sense, but necessarily russians, well, in the sense that there are bloody people like lenin, stalin, well, there are some such, well, for example, utyosov, yes, well, what's wrong with utsov, well, just an act, but excuse me for a certain context, that's what decommunization is, when the funny guys were filmed, and when they were filmed at the beginning of the first half of the 30s, i understand that everyone knows.

they literally wrote in the comments: what did volodymyr semenovych vysotskyi not guess, for example, we renamed his street too, and because volodymyr semenovych vysotsky, as mr. volodymyr vetrovych rightly pointed out, once upon a time, you may remember, there was such a scandal when he wrote that tsoi and vysotsky are tentacles of the russian world, you probably remember , yes, the showcase, yes, these people, well, you can talk a lot about this topic, but they carry a certain code, well, a psycho-emotional code in general. certain news and decolonization is not just sorting into good bad people and looking at some such small fragmentary things in their biography, in

my opinion, although not everyone shares it, but a much broader concept, yes, are others, not these surnames, but others trying somewhere to advance to a new toponymy, along with karavanskyi, a connoisseur, a fan of the ukrainian language, is anyone trying... to promote the names of those who also carry the russian peace, they are trying, of course, i say once again that the processes in kharkov and odesa, that is, in those cities that, despite the shelling, are numerous, unfortunately, not can get rid of everything mentally and in any way of the russian world, i understand that we did everything we could, but as you understand, both my capabilities and those of some of my associates, they are not complete, because we... are representatives of the authorities, unfortunately, it seems to me that some people were pushed through the 25th frame, whom i would never name, given my position

on decolonization, for example, kira muratov, well , at first glance, a person, well, a film director, well , what is the problem here, she was not a representative of a party, but of some kind there, she is, but on the other hand, as mr. yuriy shevchuk rightly pointed out, maybe you remember our famous linguist. from columbia university, he once wrote a wonderful post, also scandalous, he was, i wrote that this person lived in ukraine, worked and did not notice ukraine, this is a very interesting moment, that is, she worked as if a director worked in moscow, otherwise, that is why she deserved, i believe, the order of friendship from the hands of putin, and how such a person can be, that is, decolonization - this, i emphasize once again, is not an assessment of certain fragmentary ... for example, cultural moments, we cannot objectively assess for example, the contribution of an artist, a film director, these are artistic moments, but street names

can only have people who have absolutely earned it by their activities in relation to ukraine, that is, ukrainian patriotism, in other words, these are people who are role models, one way or another, because we , we do not reject history, history is very controversial, we have museums, archives, institutes, yes, which study history, and there are absolutely objectively written all the pros, cons, yes, but in the names of the streets, there cannot be figures who carry such a charge russian measure, because we have these names are then explained to students, so students will do certain local history projects in schools, students will do the same, and they will one way or another when researching or popularizing, face these, well, absolutely shameful moments, and there will be ambivalence in the cities again, yes , then they will not understand, or they will understand, or it is possible, yes, it is possible to support something ukrainian there with one hand, and with the other hand to be friends with putin, actually, does this explanation go into the complex, i am

not talking about... about the same surnames about that muratovo or someone else, and about karavanskyi, well, it must be said that all of us ukrainian historians are not quite equal in strength, you must understand this, as well as, for example, the activity of church communities, we have somewhere around 20 priests of the ocu, and even 400 of the moscow patriarchate, i would say so, i am speaking so metaphorically, yes, this is approximately the ratio of local historians, local historians, i emphasize, and local historians, these are different people, yes, that is, some want to understand in the ukrainian context. all processes, and others want very cunningly, holding this umbilical cord of the russian world, so it is clear that i have been for many years, i did not wake up just today, yes, i have been giving lectures for many years, writing articles in the press, appearing on television, as well as my colleagues, where, well, i mean those colleagues , who really engaged in this, there are not many of them, unfortunately, but they did, that is , we have been engaged in this for many years and will continue

to engage in it, and... of course, we cannot convince those people who sit in a shell and who do not they don't want to hear anything, but there is such a category of people, they say, well, why do you want us? tell me who karavansky is, because after all, i was born with a zhvanetsk utiosov, a babel, and so on and a pomruzy, well, that is , sealed people, but we can still convince young people, we can also convince older people, those who are open to everything - yes, those who are open and understand what is happening, and now, of course, the odessa media, the telegram channel and... and they are very cleverly channeling this electorate, unfortunately, it is not good, let's be frank, they do it a lot, in they have him, they are currently conducting a survey, where they 100% condemn these renamings and all that, but if you carefully read social networks, talk to many people who, let's say, do not have such direct access to the media, or to these cotton channels, they simply do not graze there in this telegram, you understand , and they don’t take it, then there are a lot of approving

votes, you just won’t hear them... often, yes, but some comments just warm my soul, but i already looked, when people are older and younger, there is no difference here, i would not engage in any discrimination here century, and they write, yes, we understand everything, we perfectly understand why, what do you mean by decolonization, we perfectly understand why even we, perhaps, yes, we grew up on vysotsky’s songs there or on tesov’s songs there or on the works of babel, but we understand that times are changing. and that it is obvious that it is impossible to build ukraine with such a cut-off, even if one foot is in the quagmire of some russian world and the old old world, but there are, of course, quite a lot of those people, this does not change immediately, who oppose, well, the laws, i once again i emphasize, they do not exist so that after they have accepted to mess up

the situation, there is a law. and we carried out the law exactly, you understand, and under this law we looked clearly every time, we still avoided emotions, although we are human, it is impossible to avoid them completely, but we looked clearly and clearly justified, and in particular, mr. kortashov, lawyer, i emphasize, legally, these people should be fully covered by the two laws on decommunization and decolonization, that's all, that is, there are arguments. mr. oleksandr, thank you, thank you for what you do, for that. what explained to us how it all works, we hope that there will be more and more people who understand, oleksandr muzechko, doctor of historical sciences from odesa, was with us, they talked about decommunization and decolonization in this case of a rooster, but these processes take place according our whole country. a short pause on the air of the tv channel, then we will return to the front, we will continue to talk, stay with us.
