a program concept in place for the coming weeks in each of us. morgan. i said, we don't know what's going to happen to morrow or even today, but what bombs fall there. each 9 are reducing the city to ruin it. but we're still trying to do something that has opened up with watson american festival. for example, a concert in a maternity hospital in the audience, young mothers, nurses and doctors vitalia. lexi knock takes us along to the trinity church in bon. he organizes projects here for refugee musicians from ukraine and galleries together with his friend olga purchase. ah, both come from bella. ruth, where they took to the streets of means to protest against the lucas jenko regime over with another unit. now they're stepping in to help people from ukraine with us 30 and what's and then as i to be, as far as the emotional side is concerned, there wasn't really time to cry or anything. i can feed swine or those of you need

it's really terrible a leaving on this is not a village of wasteful, valentin sylvester. that is perhaps ukraine's most famous composer of contemporary music. ready he managed to get to berlin from kiev. also. thanks to vitale. alexey knock ah, i see it us be sir francis. once he reached the border, i picked him up there and his family. a few other people and a cat ins under philomena on knocking brahmins. that was the 1st time i met him shopping just before he got in the van and glance him auto. whether or not fordham auto says, i never would have imagined that a conductor would get to know a composer fleeing war in a minibus in on him. and that they then have to drive a 1000 kilometers together. so you might have found missing blue . give us a shot. he was extremely exhausted, but he talked well the here, how can they say he's 84 years old after all, and he still composing at this?

ok then there he even did it during the journey. he heard the music in his head short on by the company, and once i brought him to berlin, he played it for us right away. um, thus got there and it was really very moving pads on the service. they say i ruined many other musicians. a still in ukraine from bon alexi knock is in constant contact with his colleagues in hockey. ah, there the concert in a subway station provides a brief moment of hope for the children to the events like this are ray of hope. they help us to believe in the best to hope it'll all be overseen and things will be all right, but us good that life goes on because music and art are part of life there. the rays of light that help the soul survive the soon losing

organizers plan to stage more concerts until the war comes to an end. ah, in russia to many are risking everything by calling for an end to the war. a growing number of artists and intellectuals are leaving the country in protest among them. russian prima ballerina august men of she's just performed in a benefit gala in naples, along with ukrainian dancers and ballet stars like anastasio sky. one of russia's greatest literary voices is now living in exile too. will lose mila lit sky. our stay in berlin forever. will she never be able to return to moscow? can she start a new life at the age of 79? possibly russia's most important living writer, she left her country in mid march,

her oldest son who lived in london convinced her to let him necessarily feel threatened in others goods though, and couldn't entirely understand my son's decision. but i agreed. yeah. because i think he might be able to assess for the current situation a bit better than i do copier. and i still remember when i sent my sons to the us, when they were old enough to be drafted into the army, resemble it. i knew i had to facile form that was during the war in afghanistan, america, we're constantly having walls like that. now when it's sunny show doesn't sit him yesterday and i did my lincoln for 40 years, who lit sky has been married to sculptor and painter. andre crossman, who also came with her to berlin. she was one of the 1st in russia to speak out publicly against the war in ukraine. it is necessary to stop the war that is

flaring off every minute and resist. the propaganda lies fed to us by all media. bullitt sky has never been sparing in her criticism of russia's leaders and says she's in good company. through my, among my acquaintances, i'm not even talking of close friends, but my widest sagel. i've never met a single person who would have agreed to this russian war in ukraine, not won his gift no grey any of these days though. those who dare take to the streets to protest risk being beaten up or arrested. few are as courageous as the writer vladimir sir oakum, who's fiercely criticized the war. more elaina co vasqua, who resigned as artistic director of moscow's mire, whole theatre after the invasion. around the same time, many artists and intellectual signed an open letter of protest. but the letter and names of the signatories were quickly removed from the internet. the risks were

just too high. the muzzle near the chena. i don't have the feeling that to russian intellectual support, the wall. but it's a very difficult to hear their voices. amelia, out legs have been shocked down. for example, radio echo of moscow i do and many other channels and platforms have been shut down . there's a voice of protest, but it's very difficult to hear it. ah, born into a jewish family who lives guy, i worked as a geneticist before starting to write her books have been translated into some 30 languages. in short stories and novels. she's depicted the great terror under stalin and the holocaust as well as everyday life in post soviet russia. her protagonists are mainly women. in this recent collection of stories, she writes about their daily struggles and the power of female friendships

guleski of russia is the country of very strong women, play everywhere, but in power. of course, if this war is stopped to lead to more than it will only be because of women at the would the phenomenon if it isn't the word, it will mean that those in power don't care. one iota about what women think about all this blue. it said no more adventure, but on board who lit sky knows that the impact of this war will be terrible and poison relations between russia and ukraine for generations to come. but she warns against ostracizing russian artists who have not distance themselves from vladimir putin such as world renowned conductor valeri garrity, of and acclaimed opera star on in the trap co, criticized in the west for saying nothing at 1st. she then became persona non grata in russia when she spoke out against the war. yeah,

she does the gluten. i believe that every artist, like every person has a right to their opinion, their political one, to as some dinner, an artist should be judged by. they look if it's was presenting or leave and the artist should be worked with though otherwise, then there's no need to know this number, but a person's political views are their own business. is that the chill area, if they will issue neville. she says many russians only discuss politics and private behind closed doors. but that doesn't mean the majority is pro war. oh, future in the was was the words very important that people here and germany understand that opinion in russia is not as unanimous as the government would like to present at my failure. gloria. what i see is i've seen when it comes to the wall a little know, got a large part of the population, including bullshit ordinary people and educated sectors for,

for this and find it abhorrent in him. ah, you got the and it would be willing to go out on to the streets to stop it with us tonight. here in berlin lit sky is constantly asked how she views the situation in russia. now that's similar. so you're pretty much lobo, which, but i don't like this role at all, and that elim food, i would prefer to be a right to form an observer of like that vision. if sewell, a right to function is to observe and to right. do you. i've never seen myself as an active participant in a process. your food, certainly not a political longer come over, but life is now pulling me into politics. north of again, my will. don't believe me. deactivate political a. so someone puts me with a lender buy. it leads me le, let sky is certain that she'll be able to write during her self imposed exile. but

she hoped to return to her home in moscow one day when the war is over. but what if your homeland lies in ruins like parts of ukraine? can sanctuaries be recreated for those who need it? most children traumatized by conflict, even before this latest war. a documentary about a children's home in eastern ukraine that had to be evacuated in late february. ah, december test regions of eastern ukraine, which have been contested for years now, are only a few kilometers from the lucy shuns children's home. i thought you might be b. a child hoods of the youngsters who lived here were fractured . the children's home was their home when they had lost both parents or was their sanctuary from parents who had abused them. 11 year old kaya was given shelter here
