4:34 am
a far right qu plus, nita says he tried to avoid propaganda using only long takes to capture the truth of the historic moment. ah e, but she approaches the yelp see. even the style of my film is in a way opposed to the methods of propaganda like the russian propaganda newsreel, which presented a very different picture of what was happening. so when you grab race id level, great. what last it's a saw was a new ukraine being built before his eyes. e, her id is pier. it was a moment of national wake up up for it's the moment when the nation is borne up. when the nation begins to really construct statehood. if i know that i becomes independent from the russian colonial vision to the 28th, a boucher, i see his name did. oh, my will. you from oklahoma?
4:35 am
chapman obama with my dad works as a time capsule capturing a moment in history. much of his work closely to says is a fight against what the director calls krohn aside the killing of his stork memory . that i get g or got laura that i had when the tragedies that occurred. the traumas that afflicted a society are forgotten or not talked about in a society that what happens is, sooner or later, these traumas come back with them. yeah, the way they resurface and basically come back to hot the society that is trying to forget about them in the garage options. door unhealed. historic trauma is at the heart of lust. it says documentary baba, young context, using archive footage with no commentary. he depicts events outside keys in 1941,
4:36 am
when nazi troops murdered more than 33000 ukranian jews, and dumped them into the baba. yar ravine. alicia to her, she knew by the yard that she, i made the film baba yar about the events of the massacre that throughout the soviet period was never talked about. it was kind of taboo. and in general, soviet propaganda did not even acknowledge the fact that the whole college and a subject was almost completely forgot. ah, of course, it goes without saying that the truth about this event should be told. and the memory of this event that i should live on allah, those lovely res niecy law, the film to pick scenes painful for ukrainians, showing local, celebrating the arrival of the nazis and standing by as they round up the jews. yeah, on las nita's refusal to simplify history angered many in ukraine when after the
4:37 am
ukraine invasion, he refused to support a full boycott of russian cinema. ukrainian film academy kicked him out for a quarter, the anita cheerfully. d got doria, i'm absolutely against the proposed total boycott. of russian cultural figures and russian filmmakers who have actually been opposing the regime. we've actually been condemning the war over. because if we do that, if we boycott them as well as every one else really in a way, we will be betraying them as the rates. ah plus, nita says he's no profit and he's no politician. his films don't speak for ukraine, but tried to depict the world and the war as he sees it, only be nearer because so it's still get unequal. what, what does it do? an artist should do? what he does, bass, what he knows a video, and that is to make art a castle, made guernica we all we artist is have to make films have to produce art that is
4:38 am
narrating. and reflecting upon the events which we are witnessing. we might didn't wake up the rear. ah, with that it's us loosely pressed, i guess. yeah, us and i mean, but it's, i guess you the war in ukraine has catapulted the world into a collective state of shock, including the arts, to demonstrate against the bloodshed russian artists give gun. yeah. you so you have a court fake blood over herself in front of the regional parliament and st. petersburg before swiftly being led away by police. 2 rebellion against russian dominance has a long tradition in the former soviet republics historian and expert on eastern europe. culture logo talks about old alliances and new identities and ukraine. for the past 50 years, he has travelled across eastern europe and specialized in the history of the soviet
4:39 am
union and its successor state logo will be the 1st to admit that for the longest time, he too just saw ukraine as a part of the post soviet cultural fear only after russia's attack on crimea, he began studying the country's uniqueness. hooton's claim that ukraine has always belong to russia. schlagel writes off as pure propaganda a pretext to divert attention from his problems at home. if the man says i'm moon that sufficient in childhood, i see a connection between the failing modernization or re constellation of a post soviet russia and a tendency to blame the outside world for every problem and contradiction within their godson. probably a 1000000 views crishna ost stranger goes to turn in. i think that the intervention or aggression in crimea is zoom, wasn't attempt at rallying the people or society. and by using a small,
4:40 am
successful and triumphal orchestrated war of occupation this for could do 0. so if you didn't do that, to some sushi oh, according to sugar, put in his clueless about the young european identity that has emerged over the past 3 decades. and the cultural diversity thriving between living in the west and the don boss in the east. in the soviet days, however, ukraine was merely seen as a coal supplier and a bread basket. but even back then ukrainians had their own distinct culture dating back centuries. spirit isn't in nonce in their hunger affect no later than in the 19th century. all the characteristics of modern nation building are in place that come such as the fight for a language of one's own speed and the formation of a literary language, given the struggle against russ, if occasion would be for the demand to forge a new state. eigen scout to be common when the student room come this time,
4:41 am
then comes with the collapse of empire. cbs does. that is after world war one, nothing is very true. but the autonomy had only lasted half a year when ukraine became entangled in the world war between stolen ism and naziism. as part of the soviet union, only in 1991 was the country able to step onto the world stage as a sovereign state. as a condition, ukrainians had to give up their nuclear weapons, a price, they were happy to pay for the offers and as a returned garbage. there was a referendum following the breakup of the soviet union with an overwhelming majority in favor of independence for gordon to holler was one. and it's important to remember that don boss played a key role at the time root. even though that was the most soviet ised part of you, crazy to toe go kind of using this often in moscow, the attitude was moscow. we can do this, us,
4:42 am
we can reestablish ourselves to stern ukraine's european orientation challenges putin's old imperial model of society. it's a clash universes, a younger global minded culture, opposing the regressive authoritarian russian regime. who didn't accuses the lensky of being a puppet of meal fashion. he in turn counters with instagram stories, shows himself as a family man. he tells of his jewish heritage and his grandfather's fight against the nazis. ah, if a copper to do this, he embodies this civil pay. those encourage between i think he's great goes out to honda is to can he really is the antithesis of that bitter evil. the dastardly and hateful man you go, talked down as people from his bunker to in the kremlin bunker,
4:43 am
him camera. if you look, i'm looking at that. the historian and eastern europe expert snuggle remains adamant in his support for ukraine's fight against pewter potions attack on ukraine is also possible via the confidence and silent support of brother bruce the neighboring country. that allows prudence troops to pass through a documentary shows how close things came to changing history. minsk, in august 2020. then thousands of bell russians took to the streets and protest against their countries reeked presidential elections. these images were shot by bell, russian director ali x a palo young. his documentary courage were count those days when change was in the air in his homeland authoritarian leader, alexander lucas shank of days, seemed numbered. but 2 years on bell rooster's hopes for freedom have been dashed.
4:44 am
lucas shanker still rules with an iron fist as putin bustle. is mckenzie. it's really awful, it, but the 1st realization was what a shame bell roost wasn't able to stop. putin in 2020 prisons are stopping the vice of vio knows, of changing a country could have made a difference to victor happen. the russian invasion of ukraine makes alexei puddle, yawns, film grimly topical and highlights of bitter truth. the crushing of the protests in bella, ruth strengthened to teams roll in the region. oh, the protagonists of palo yawns, film, or actors at the bell roof, free theater. an underground theatre. immense. that was critical of the ruling regime in 2020 puddle. yon planned to create a portrait of these brave theatre makers who've been harassed and threatened by the regime for years. oh,
4:45 am
on the bus and what those the theater folks dared to do down ah, down all the time and get profit demon that they broach topics that back then and still are only spoken about in private to meet without peasant for then only whispered to trusted individual handlebar told us that they talked about the death penalty in a piece of theatre and food. they spoke about the abduction of politician arthur cooking him up. they made theatre about torture in prisons, ensemble members, wrist persecution, jail sentences and being banned from performing. if of a foot the whole to hit and on ah, the whole one gambler i got was atc a from spectrum on a flip, schiffer nick or english for one or what have you all these guys come christopher? thought them thought i didn't know whether the were from the growing unrest turned the film about the theatre troops into a documentary of the protests and attribute to bel russians who demonstrated civil
4:46 am
courage, was thoroughly. we'll just as fulton dimensions esteemed, haven't people who devoted to her and that the candidates in the presidential elections were tortured in prison in such a way that people outside and could hear the men's voices sas, deloitte and allison kit had, haven't ashton, from a few of them were kilten, i need a mental own garage. i don't want to put it on hold on one second. i did that. oh yeah, you can use dorothy to play with what it was. alexey pablo, yon documented the brutal repression by the regime. these that my see this massive violence give simply left people no room to keep quiet anymore. i've. i can class closets of people are vital to so hundreds of thousands of people said that's
4:47 am
enough for much advocacy crashed oh for a while. it seemed like alexander lucas ankles more than a quarter century long rule might finally be over. i'm up to, i get tired. so i nigger the for a time for a few seconds or minutes. there was hope things were changed, this infinity sir, you said started the film with the scene in front of parliament. how a soldier accepts this flower, the bloom in them, as there was much speculation about whether that scene was staged in that is of business for either always pre planned. i honestly couldn't say, but after 2 months, luca shank oh, brutally cracked out on the protests. the wes tried to exert pressure on the dictator using sanctions, but with tragic results. isolated and economically weakened. lucas shanker needed his close partner, russ. sure, more than ever. in the end, the big winner was vladimir putin as had him moved bliss allowed putin to back the
4:48 am
lucas shanker regime into a corner exits and do with lucas shanker. what he wanted in your thoughts, latin of us, even the huge retaliatory measures what if she had sanctions i served to make lucas shanker, a vessel of futons that the dentist. yes, look, i sank. i rocephin. that's also a consequence of the protests. a fun, fun protest. in 2020 the films protagonists fled bella bruce and went to ukraine. now the war there has forced them to flee once again. this time to poland. ah. but i loiter these 3 people have learned how to start their lives over from scratch. toys, as layman, focuses on the camera. woman for this film still lives in belarus and mince cliff and doesn't want to leave on jesus. i'm living in a historic time back. i want to be here and his voice outside i from here are the artists like writers, also have there. and for me, that's courage to leave and also on the stand behind these personal choices in the
4:49 am
desert presentation, trying to stay on the exit. pol yonce film is a call to stand up to oppression and protest against brutal regimes. can we expect? seems like this will be repeated in russia. oh, is it a review of the door on the line with another year over your life? since in beating ukraine, the russian president has often been portrayed as a fascist. at the same time, the russians were among those who liberated the world from the nazis. in 1945, a world view is disintegrating, especially from the perspective of east germany. the former sibling status of the soviet union. my studio wilson, blue b,
4:50 am
almost hopefully the feeling and frown ally, he was involved with the russian poet yevgeny. you have to shanker published this verse in 1961 while the nuclear threat kept the world awake at night. ah, today the fear is back. the world is in a collective state of shock over putin's invasion of ukraine, especially in east germany, where there had been much sympathy for russia and put in the world has turned upside down. the former ged propaganda phrase, to learn from the soviet union is to learn to triumph, has taken on a bitter aftertaste. thus we kneeled, felt when sparkling, what's being ruined, and by putin himself that is no less than the central monument of soviet history dealt with in their horrifically one victory. and is he, the tragedy of the entire union, st. hoggard the narrative of sacrifice,
4:51 am

4:52 am
communism has now become hyper capitalist of openness and conceived in tea in principle, the parameters of east and west are the same as in the great czarist empire. in this r, as imperial state did often tush, when everything we've learned on top that this is communism fighting capitalism. keegan, this is all just superficial and plastered on bo, and in the end, it always comes back to gio strategy to keep the bond between the former citizens of the g. d. r. and the soviet union shaped several generations affection for the occupier was institutionalized. in the german soviet friendship, this was a mass organization comprising millions of members, soviet art, films and literature were standard subjects of the school curriculum. but despite all this, the often touted german soviet friendship was to a large extent not real and intimidated many to the outset could demand in the
4:53 am
g r years. the eternal drivel about the brotherly bonds with a country of linen simply became unbearable harden. but it was pure imposed ritual vulgar, stooped the sca okay. there were no real and individual and unregulated exchanges with the russians. dean wilson, before not, it wasn't until this superstructure was gone after the end of the g d r. that i could finally approach this history personally. but my with my own feelings focus shift, and neon. ah, there are 3500 soviet military cemeteries in germany. almost all are in the former east. the war memorial in the ship. what's a hide? a public park is the burial site for more than $13000.00 members of the red army. 100 bronze panels. tell us the battle of those who fell to take berlin. diesel old . take me a this place, remind me where i as a post war child in east germany,

4:55 am
and dusty shifter does in the history of soviet martyrdom will sink into ancient history. and that, that evil will say once it was, but it is no longer an videos and look at how the russians behave of they forfeited their right to be remembered. thus, that's dangerous thinking the saga, i think good and bad are not static on ye. those people then are not these people to day mentioned, those people died and sacrifice. you heard these people who are overrunning ukraine or criminals high and ah, liberation from hitler's fascism as the moral core and ethical legacy of soviet history. this shaped the identity of many generations in east germany. putin has forever tarnished this legacy. they call it audio visual terrorism. their new music video about the uprising of the dead has become a viral hit. worldwide. back
