, just on may 23rd they celebrate the day of heroes, what kind of holiday is this where did it come from? and how is it related to modern realities? we will talk with lesya bondaruk , an employee of the ukrainian institute of national remembrance. such a short introduction, it’s actually quite old in ukraine, but in ukraine it started to be celebrated not so long ago. well, let’s say it’s an unofficial holiday that we inherited as a tradition from the participants of the national dependency of ukraine. the first time it was seen in in april 1901, by the resolution of the second great meeting of

the organization of ukrainian nationalists, which was held in kraków, and there was a certain ceremony for dry children who were going to arrive, the celebration was cited as a feast, but there was also the tradition of honoring the memory of heroes is on this day. well , the holiday itself was conceived as a commemoration of the lithuanians who, under mysterious circumstances, were mistaken for a letter from the un and the leader of the liberation movement simon petlyura, but over time the holiday was also celebrated by the ukrainian rebel army, the importance of national-patriotic education of both soldiers and the population in ukraine during the

soviet period was celebrated by the countries of the championship and sold parallels with the defenders of ukraine from the time of kyivan rus to at that time, in addition to that, they commemorated the political prisoners of the soviet era, who were also in our time - this holiday was revived in 1991 and with the gaining of independence of ukraine, and such a mass commemoration took place in the western regions of ukraine in 2014 with an emphasis on e-e commemorating the memory of fallen heroes in the modern russian-ukrainian war and today, more than ever, this holiday again acquires, let's say, a very characteristic national-patriotic direction, because we have

it e-e as a tradition of commemorating heroes. and our heroes today are defenders of ukraine military and volunteers who help and journalists who work around the clock to keep people in er correct information, to fight against misinformation spread by the enemy and that is why today we must perceive this holiday in the broad context of national er congratulations, look , well, we are a humble nation even from my journalistic experience, i will say that when you communicate with heroes, with people who save hundreds of people there, who close them, i don't know, mines , etc. well, that is, they say they are not call us heroes we are not heroes but why

is it important to have heroes why is it important to talk about them why is it important to call them heroes and especially in our realities now if we take into account historical experience now people show everyone their attitude towards society towards those who defend ukrainian state independence, that is, deep respect for them is also honoring fallen heroes and it is also very important not to forget and constantly remind about it and this is what educates the young generation in the spirit of patriotism, what gives us all examples of hope and faith in victory over history, well, us and russia, well , russia is constantly attacking us there in the course of all these last centuries, they already have their own tradition, but hmm. if you compare them and us, how

different is our tradition of honoring heroes, who do we consider heroes, and who they consider themselves heroes and why is it important to understand this difference because it is, you see, russia does not have a tradition of national liberation struggle, there is a totalitarian society, that is, totalitarian conditions in which this society lives are perceived as normal and, accordingly, there is no one to compare their heroes to far-fetched and very contradictory, these are really our heroes who leave no doubt in their devotion to the ideal of freedom of struggle in love for ukraine, that is, they do not have such heroes and soon they will

be . at the same time, the propaganda that they have there works powerfully. they invent heroes, heroize them somehow as murderers of those who are currently raping our women, children, and men. when they return home, they are in plastic bags , i apologize, but they also call them heroes. fake titling that has no justification and in fact they could be a hero if they had a proper attitude to, let 's say, history and other peoples, but for example, their heroine could be the same valeria novodvorskaya who fought against putin all her life

against of soviet totalitarianism but i apologize to them for their very distorted concept of real heroism and this indicates the disease of the russian people at the level of even psychological perception. if we return to our day of heroes, in your opinion, this holiday would be quite enter the official calendar and whether it can happen in the near future, you know, it doesn't matter whether it will be official or not. we have many holidays in our lives and we , er, during several holidays a year, commemorate the memory of ukrainian heroes. the main thing here is that we remember talked about those heroes and that these heroes inspire us to defend ukraine to victory, and your advice is something that every ukrainian should do today. today , may 23, is the day of heroes. honor

the fallen heroes with a prayer. help modern heroes fight for ukraine. somehow to nato to support the army and who is a good deed for internally displaced persons and to believe that ukraine has always won only because it fought for its own independence and for independence and this time we will definitely win i am very grateful to you for this conversation lesya bondaruk employee of the ukrainian institute of national remembrance about the day of heroes about our nation of heroes about the fact that heroism is actually in our blood, that's why only victory well, about creative defense, let's talk more about the songs of the times of war, which they should be or is it appropriate to joke in these

songs because humor is also a negative component and it is in our blood, our country . but the hadyukin brothers also continue to support the ukrainian people and ukrainian defenders. of the independence of ukraine, because you were known before the announcement of the independence of ukraine, and before that, you used such steps with your creativity to declare this independence at the world level. and how can you describe the situation now? did you expect

what might happen this is the case now with our state. hm. i think that the first thing to do at that time in moscow at the pugachov these evenings after our native tarser eh there were such words rock and roll until the morning it was a bomb in general eh not only for ukraine, which was still part of the soviet union, and for everything of the soviet union, and i think that when gorbachev heard this song, he said trumpet to the soviet union, ah, if we talk about the present, well, i did not expect that, in principle, ah, orcs would dare to attack us , in fact, you know. well, to be honest, until this moment, we are actually sitting and you can't believe what's happening, but it's happening in the 21st century and it's a catch that our military i think knew more and

were preparing because when you see what's happening now like our vali and theirs is big and thank you, they were probably ready kyiv region in lviv between each phrase what we are going to say now is a big thank you to those people who protect us, it is just a huge feat and i think that every person in a situation should do his job as a language honestly and professionally and at the same time contribute to the victory of his people, the studio was mined, well, it turned out that way she was almost in the war zone, thank god, almost to my daughter, thank god, all the things related to the studio, our studio, which is there, and we don’t even have the opportunity to

visit because there is demining going on and so on. we decided to come to lviv with pavel. where are we from ? on those roads and now we have united and we are going to concerts, we have already given chernivtsi, lviv, there are other places that we will not talk about, and now we are going to ternopil, now we are going to vinnytsia , kamianets-podilskyi. that is, we are collecting and accumulating funds for refugees for the landslide and we believe that this is our duty and the duties of kuzma skryabin, in which of us do you remember me, there was such a phrase . development will go because i used to go on patrols by policemen here a little at night it's scary, but you feel

involved in the events to the extent that the artists are still idle or someone is volunteering. and how do you think it is now important for artists and musicians to continue their activities? well, i think that music is eternal for the first time. and how? it will consist of musicians, they will write something, they won't write something, but songs about the war are being written, you listen to the radio a lot. it's not a day, the new song is very cool. and there are such opportunistic ones, in my opinion. we continue to do our own thing, because when we arrived in lviv, guys, well, i didn't know what to do , i was so blinded, because you don't know, i went to teroborona, they told me, the old man, go write music, it was better than yesterday. well, here you see, it turned out

that you can collect funds and i will also say that at concerts, people are a little bit stressed, well, after all, for all of us. and, at a concert, you see how they untie them little by little, and then this person comes to theirs and the same thing. i think this is a kind of relief because you can't be in all the time this condition and this function as well. i think for all musicians, i would tell them to go and play for people, of course we have changed some things in our repertoire that were not in ours before there were songs about the war and really about the war and we made this correction so that there is no, you know, as they say, the first time of the plague there, well, it means drug addicts in the garden, for example, we don't play now, it's necessary because it might be inappropriate, and in the same way, if artists have songs that are related to the time or songs that are not in dissonance , then i i would advise, i will say that this is an eternal topic

now at that moment uhu is it worth uh-uh now to use funny songs uh-uh you know the answer was still with us we hesitated for a long time to go for the first time uh-uh hmm to the boys back in the 14th 16th years uh in field conditions and and well to be honest, they were afraid because it was the first time, and they weren’t afraid, they were afraid of the reaction, mom, i’m conditional, even when we saw those eyes and when we talked with them, actually, after the concert, you stupid guys, we need a lot of it, and i listen to it on the radio there if i’m in the kitchen i play it all the time, and many songs really shouldn't be so sad, but i wouldn't i went through the same thing with this one. well, for the sake of my life, they should click on this one because you are listening

to the shelling there and there. and what if it goes? well, a lot of this in music will go like this. well, you have to breathe with optimism, they are standing. but of course i am beautiful here songs and if people are given the opportunity to live in peace with a good mood with a smile, even when it comes to shopping, this is the very state that will add to our strength, because strength and mood are categorically the basis of victory. what i wanted to do was to change the direction of our communication a little at the gadyukin brothers. there are probably still fans and colleagues in russia, what was mentioned earlier, cooperation with alla pugacheva, what is happening now, did those fans write to you, our colleagues from russia already from the 14th year,

if we went, there were contacts there, by the way, in the 14th- we have been going for a long time and we have offered such interesting facts, but people can listen to your music. i mean, in the 14th, we were offered to go to crimea already after the annexation, and the fee was something like 10 times more than what ours said in the certificates. and what do you think why they offered to go why this is how they try to distance themselves somehow, but they still invite artists accordingly, so that everything is normal, this is all a provocation, it's a fact that how

harshly they sent a with and from the 14th year. it's kind of understandable. it was in such a case that people don't listen to our music 100%, even those smart people who have left now, well , for example, but galkin is going to the military, a few more people left, not supporting the mood of their country. i think they are in their free time the brothers of the gadyukin brothers are listening. and what do you think , should we talk to them through art, through music, for example, those who support

this horror do not make sense. there is nothing to talk about with them at all. and , er, those who support ukraine, conditionally speaking, well, they are really more like he says north korea is terrified well, we can't when stalin collapsed at one time and you remember how it turned out that he was the father of the people and then everyone shouted that he was rubbing it and went astray. i think the same thing will happen in russia too, in their music, people are actually needed it is some leitmotifs, but if you compare in ukrainian music, what russians, russian pop music, have never been able to repeat the truth, they have been philharmonic all their lives, they speak rudely, this post is sovkovy, this rock music is a little better, of course, but if you take our pop music, for example, what do you understand, just say a few words about the victory of kalush, we are

just light, now it is important for ukraine. it is this moment that, after all, the whole world once again showed that he supports ukraine and it is wonderful that he sang a song in ukrainian. we can say that we were not afraid to say for mariupoli for the zone. by the way, and because in the languages ​​of those who are now there, let's say prisoner of health and we support them and wait for them to return. these are just titans, it's the same as the cyborgs in donetsk showed themselves at the time of the airport, the same. well, soldiers with a capital letter, i had something, all this, uh, are songs being written now, taking into account our servicemen, it is difficult to write for ukrainians, but

i am somehow collecting materials . do you miss those uh festivals that used to be when ukrainians will finally be able to hold festivals with names that come from your songs, this is banderstadt and a nice city, when will we be ready for this and is there probably a place for such festivals during the war it seems to me well, as we have already said, there is always a place for music, and now we did zhadan a-a and dogs er-er elsa's ocean this is not a mekar er-er, in my opinion, in kharkiv they held such a mini-festival, some kind of resistance music or they will do, i don't know, i only see the poster number, so what they are already doing it and uh well, it really needs to be done and it’s a

good name for them, music of resistance, we can also say music of light from our side, and there is probably a place for the festival, including how ukraine will play after the news that russia was completely defeated and ukraine won. i think that these festivals will start to grow like trees the day after the victory. yes, we can say that it will be important the next day. they were hit and wounded and that everyone should return home, and actually now they are on the front line, but it must be said that the whole of ukraine has risen there, a volunteer movement and everything and everything, ordinary people from lviv take russian-speaking people, everything will live back home and when there is a lie that there is русский язык

let someone come to lviv and look at this tax, they will simply listen to these signs and let the drunks know from the nest and to themselves so that a country that constantly lies and we are constantly aware of this, to go through belarus and destroy mariupol the russian-speaking bridge of ukraine. i just want to say that if a person and people are imprisoned in lies, they have no chance of victory. therefore, we continue to create, create music that will inspire , raise the fighting spirit, it is far from a fact that we may

someday change guitars to weapons, it can all happen to her you have to be ready for it, that's right, i'll tell you honestly that i'm very angry inside, what do you think will be the winning song of the ukrainians, red viburnum, how did the boombox cool, it's not dead yet in ukraine, our people, er, some decent square, such an opinion about what you should not wait for some kind of victory because victory is with us every day. there is nothing to take away from your words. there is nothing to add. this is the whole video. thank you to our servicemen and soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine . every father, mother, who lives on our land, who fights in his place with his emotions. victory for our country, we are united thinkers, i

thank you for today's conversation, the group against gadyukina we see, we will convince , we will win, we will win together, we are strong ukrainian marines, elite warriors who destroy the invaders, recruit on land and in the air, these are trained and motivated warriors of the three elements who passed a hellish test to win the proud right of an assault soldier to fight and win. the indomitable marines held on to the last in crimea during the seizure of the peninsula by russian troops. they will continue to do this in 2022 together with azov residents and border guards, the 36th separate brigade of marines named after
