ah, feeling he to do into the words, into the sentences and trying to see, worked through literature as, as something which is very complicated. malia chuck's latest novel is about the power of the past called the blue whale of memory, and it's about the fragility of ukrainian identity, obedience, and fear. and he asked is, smiling, here is my main emotion, was this man, everything that i've done in my life is everything i've said or written has only come to be by overcoming great fear and fun. and i would love to be as career is as many ukrainians at the moment and when were taking up arms and fighting on does if he can are published in 2019 the novel charts, the life of historian, an activist viet islov lipinski who in the early 20th century,

fought for ukrainian independence and failed to plug that sheds light on ukraine's resilience to day inland. as during the 1st hours of the war, i thought maybe it's the same again but, but there's a big difference that was immediately apparent to the thought that his arm he saw that ukrainians a no longer victim. there is an opposing, but fight info for her ukraine. is cast off, it's historical victim hood. her own friends are fighting an entire generation as under threat. monkish dado, new people don't understand that ukraine's entire cultural elite is on the front line leg that publishes the writers, musicians, artists, discarded. i lived there in the war, and if they all die once when they were there, nobody left them lip. this me. mm hm. no. what's maria? chuck doesn't only want to think about how much is at stake. she's holding fast to

a last shred of hope. in these m l m, i don't want to live in this misery. that's why off the burden myself to think about the future. so thinking yet right now, it's important to be in the present to i to act, to speak, to ask you to write to cry. and so everything is possible, you see, the time is now here, every day of successful defense means the end of the russian empire. but i did this and that the symptoms wilson optimism against the odds in lebanon, the deadly bay root port explosion in 2020 claimed lives and caused blasting socio economic problems. many left the country artists who remain are determined to salvage its troll identity. the massive explosion in the port nearly delta death blow to culture in beirut. the music conservatory was heavily damaged, shrapnel, p. a double base is like arrows. hardly an instrument survived unscathed,

but the once beautiful. now wounded city is rebelling against the attack on its culture, against the silence, with portraits along the road side, lest the more than 200 dead be forgotten, and with sounds thanks to a donation of 16 pianos. music is now returning to the conservatory. oh, this is so small sign of resistance against the moral decay of the country to this day. those responsible for the explosion in the port have not been brought to justice. political cronyism, blocks, old investigations. we just received a shock. it, i would say that every scholar, every musician, every politician, should fight in their own way to oppose the theocracy of them last part of which is supported here by has all us. if we more to savannah, our real mission is to defend the cultural identity of lebanon,

a phone to please other, to present lebanon is still feeling the explosions aftershocks in the worst economic crisis in its history. the lebanese pound has lost 90 percent of its value in the last 2 years. inflation and poverty are rampant tens of thousands, a leaving the country among them many artists and academics, the n g o bloody warns that lebanon's cultural heritage is in danger. as the best minds turned their backs on the country, that's the night where all the sectors are losing it at their being if they've been out of the company by the financial crisis. and the loss, as i said, the loss will be enormous. and at a baby, we cannot replace it, it will take us years to replace them. not everybody is going and beirut remains the liveliest, freest city in the arab world. there's a hunger for distraction,

pleasure and culture. theaters are packed. people make fun of the corrupt to lease and continue to celebrate their freedom. ah, surely you belong to you and no fear. so a lot of positives about what's happening is that the atmosphere, the population is changing moment. hello. there is no quality of resistance. of course, we're all heavily affected by the crisis men and what i think new are to us emerging from the suffering pod lancer a d j and lebanon smoke kind. this rock singer would agree that the crisis has acted as a catalyst for art. he chose to return from voluntary exile in paris to the chaos, a favorite, a and this city will, will, will forever have life. you can, you can have all of your to buy and all of your so the radio. but you will never
