eh, the purpose of how we joke is to relieve anxiety , raise the morale of the population, and also raise funds so that part of it is for a private purpose or for charities, you would be funny if i were like that during the war we want to earn no no no of course not volunteer, different , different, different, if you say that you are collecting funds, then there is no criticism of you. how do you know how to joke now, it is such a difficult time, what is happening, it is difficult because, hmm, some do not need it now. laughter is also in this the difference is that, for example, when a person sees our performances there on youtube, then when they happen to come across this performance, they can say that it is not the right time, for example, because a person does not need laughter at this moment. this is completely his right, but there are quite a few people who now want to laugh to relieve anxiety, er, to cheer themselves up, because russia

is doing everything possible to make our mood bad, and we have to somehow do something about it, as you have decided for yourself. so, after february 24, when it is appropriate, er joking is not even what to get out of with my jokes at people again. yes, in general, it is appropriate to joke. i realized that the cycle of my father began a full-scale invasion. 24 he started getting ready for work, by the way, this is me in my stand-up and i told him, well, now you shouldn't go to work. and he was looking out the window and he says, damn, the rain has gone. well, then everyone was in a state of shock, but he was so naked at the time, where are you kidding, he is like that well , right away, it somehow lifted a little. in general it can be done and that's why i'm enough i am grateful to the team. there is such a team of the league of laughter in vinnytsia. they gave concerts for the soldiers in

vinnytsia, and for the first time since the 24th, i performed in front of the soldiers four times. this is in front of our military . first of all, it was my first performance maybe after three months, when i didn't perform at all in stand-up, it was my first performance on a conventional stage, because it was in kazan at all. that's it, andriy of stand-up. well, this is in front of the military. i understand that i speak before the people who protect the country and who are doing everything right now possible so that i could live on. well, it was quite such an emotional thing, but everything turned out great, all the soldiers laughed somehow, review the jokes with which we go out to people of course 100%. this is completely different vector i have now in comedy there will be before this i joked uh in the absurd and well it was about toilet plugs there cover about

centaurs and you were thank you plus one view on my channel yes and now completely vector has changed this is a surveillance comedy and she has goals in order to give people smiles and uplifting of morale and bring victory closer to the joke - it 's again about your performance in front of the military, what kind of jokes are suitable for the military, if you polish for yourself a repertoire for a performance in front of the people themselves what kind of stand-up should it be, what is it about well, you need to understand where you perform who are you performing in front of and what is the purpose of these jokes? this was my first joke, it was to relieve myself of the tension because i was very nervous. i was such a god, it was my first performance in front of the military and that's why my first joke was i said that it was my first time performing in front of by people what kind of bad joke can you give me an example of

? that i am now here for them and not for something else, that's why they laughed and gave me a funny well of course no no you what is it you have with this for three months already some favorite joke about the war of yours or a colleague or something what you can somewhere there in conversation to mention for to defuse the situation well, you probably don't. you can't be mad about it, but it's like you're not mad about it, that's not quite. it's a joke, you can say it in folklore, because we can't be mad. well, we're baking

. occupation in dymer, they were there for 35 days with them, everything is fine, i'm talking about health. so they brought from there such a story about how two russian military occupiers were doing, and a man and his son managed something in the garden , local soldiers and i asked them what time it was boys, and they told them it's time to go home, boys, this is a real story, these people are alive, everything is fine with them, it's local, here, here, this is my favorite joke, because it seems to me that it shows all our courage, well, i put myself in this place, i don't was able to say such unsuccessful jokes during the war. why do they happen? we will discuss with you some specific ones. but in your opinion, this is quite such a difficult

topic, but it is difficult from the point of view that every comedian in general is looking for the limit. he wants to joke so as to cause some emotions and some comedians cross this line and it turns out that the joke is figurative for some part of the audience's society, it's all an intuitive feeling and the bones stand up randomly, for which he apologizes, someone does it on purpose, but this search for this is probably some kind of limit, now i don't allow myself to reach this limit well , because by crossing it, you can do the opposite, because what i want to do now as a stand-up artist is to support people, make them laugh, lift their spirits and make them not forget about the war and tune in. well, there were two cases that i have found in these three months, first - this is your

colleague andriy shegyn, who also joked about those who actually died near kharkov, second - this is oleg grundik, who also joked about the ukrainian military , eh, do you agree that these jokes are unsuccessful of course well, they are unsuccessful jokes so there's nothing here, there's nothing to talk about, it's just such a topic and i'm quite a difficult topic. okay, let's figure it out, see, uh, about oleg hrynvik, who, if i'm right, uh, i researched it first, oleg grundy, who is oleg grundy, when grundik is a comedian who works in the stand-up genre comedy and at the beginning of the full-scale invasion helped the displaced people helped the children supported raised funds this joke was a failure this genre is short probably for our viewers i will not quote it simply about the fact that a person joked about payments for the dead ukrainian soldiers comparing them to a thousand fire extinguishers this is a bad joke oleg realized this, he apologized, he was

elected twice. that's all, but you also need to understand people who, in short, i really don't like what's starting persecution begins, threats are not worth doing, the person realized he apologized, perhaps it is worth forgiving andriy shegel's joke was also about the dead he said that if he used to go to some page for entertainment content, now, uh, the dead, he unsubscribed, he did not apologize, as far as i i know, he said that he did not understand why the problem is in some kind of sensitivity of the tact, in your opinion, that seems to me to be in andriy's plan - it's just his way of being a comedian, that's how he does it, his apologies were brought in the form that he completely canceled his tour, it seems to me that this was

an apology in his opinion, i cannot comment on anything further here because it was a terrible joke to apologize immediately and all of these two cases are jokes around the dead ukrainians, in your opinion at all or ever we will joke about the tragedies of the war, but we mentioned with colleagues before this recording that, for example, in the usa, there are cases when comedians just joke about september 11 and it still runs into scandals, we have a different culture to understand about this, the culture of american stand-up is different from the culture of ukrainian stand-up, society is different from ukrainian society, yes, indeed, we in america, in examples, there are quite a lot of such examples, for example, there are such comedian hilberg gotfrey, i can even tell it all with seeds, he can even tell it all in one week after the tragedy, they had a roast roast, this is the format when they call a certain comedian or celebrity and start

joking about him on such rather hot topics and the comedian gilbert gotfrey made a joke about 9/11 eh hmm there was something about a plane and the audience took it rather ambiguously they started to make noise and started to show what this joke was he asked what was probably a joke sincere new well it's only sunday came someone shouted yes to him he says ok then let's close it with another joke well and his stories he started to tell another very vulgar joke about aristocrats and he just raised the bar and closed the uh by shifting vector that's how people started laughing but this is american society it will be like that with us, i don't, well, i don't understand. just why , er, i understand it as a mistake, but for example, i won't joke about tragedies. well, why does it hurt me? well, what about me? it's normal. i

'm already over it. you we are sitting in the bar with you i say i promise yes this has helped us once again those jokes can cause pain why there is no sense in this now we have to heal some wounds that were inflicted this is exclusively my opinion that they chose to participate in the league of laughter sparrow theater and you took part in what then when one of the kindergartners was volodymyr zelenskyi, who is now the president. how do you feel about the fact that volodymyr zelenskyi is now not just the president of a country that is in a state of such a full-scale war? well, it's just some kind of movie. i don't know. it's when you watch marvel. some characters are connected something is happening so that you are like wow and this is all in real life well that is, well i well this is yours you understand when you work in the genre of the absurd so you in general you uh so you build even when a full-scale invasion began i

looked at these terrible blows and i wish i hadn't perceived them at first because in my head i am constantly drawing some different interpretations of scenarios or something of what is happening and what i see it was so much i was so unprepared for it that i just it's like in some in a dream it was on the 24th, on the 25th, you were already beginning to realize all this pain, and also exactly what happens when you are like that. cumberbatch is now hosting someone from vinnytsia at his home . it's amazing, you say you don't work well well, you also remember how he stood on the stage and uh asked what you were going through and we are like that well, yes, he ended up fine. you understand that he edited our jokes. well, that is, he didn't edit the jokes, and now you close your eyes you wake up and now he is the

most famous person possible, well, to joke about zelensky no, this is some kind of internal self-censorship i don't see the point now well, that is, he can become part of the joke but in order to support the country but there to joke about him, well, what is it for now we everyone is one big ship that sails to victory and there is no need to look for some cosmic mistakes in order to make fun of them and show them. in fact, your stand-up in the bunker won me over, that is, it came out not so long ago, and when i started to dig more about you, i realized that before that, your speeches were in russian. is this some kind of natural transition or just a sense of the moment? in your opinion, right now it is not worth speaking in russian. now i will explain how it all happened. i am ukrainian-speaking since childhood. i was born in vinnytsia. i have been speaking ukrainian for 17 years, but

of course with the vinnytsia dialect, you can speak like that. then i moved to kharkiv because i entered the law academy and there i began to speak russian, so i was russian speaking for 10 years. so it turns out it works out for 10 years and then during this time when i was a russian speaker, we also made a folk theater of the absurd, the sparrow, and started making jokes in the absurd, i began to grow in humor, i performed in russian because it was quite difficult, i didn’t at all i understand how to switch to the ukrainian language in terms of humor because you are a difficult shorter subject and it is peculiar and the physics when you go out into the hall and the language and the way you speak is one of the elements of how you behave on stage and is such well, the comedian and some are

switching to the ukrainian language, and i thought, well, how can i do it, it will probably be difficult and how can i continue in the absurd, but on the morning of february 24, i clearly realized that i will continue to be only ukrainian-speaking . i still did not really understand, i did not dig into myself why what factors contributed to this, but it is simply the 24th i felt that i want to be. i'm nothing, i just want to be as close as possible to ukrainian society, as close as possible to ukraine and isolate myself from everything russian, everything else is now learning that it's a russian standard. what if february 24 became such a turning point when they decided that they don't accept russian-language content will this mean for ukrainian and ukrainian-speaking stand-up, what is the stage of development

in your opinion ? ukrainian comedian antona tymoshenko discovered for himself ukrainian comedian serhiy chirkov discovered underground stand up discovered so it seems to me that people have really closed themselves off from russian-language content from russian comedians and focus on ukrainian comedians, which is great and i also really like that they're like that too oh, and there's american stand-up and there's british stand-up wow, dutch stand-up is cool, it's cool and i'm a little sorry that it all sounds like that, i'm sorry that i didn't watch russian comedians before of russian comedians today, what was next, not cheap, well , look

, i didn’t like everything. and when everyone started to refuse, i was like, oh, what am i going to refuse? in belarusian, for example, hmm, not looking at yes, no, what’s the point? we need to throw all our efforts into ukrainian, do you think it’s worth banning the performances of russian stand-up artists in ukraine in continuation of this topic? it seems to me that it's so logical that even i think it's so simple and it will be and everything is just comedians, i don't think it's worth focusing on it, there are names that are just like that, that's all we don't want to live in this country in russia and just went from there and there hmm help they collect some funds to ukraine there, they send help to displaced people in europe. well, they left for europe and that's all, but looking at what will happen next. well, it's not worth focusing on it at all. i don't think that a russian comic

can come here with a concert, that's 100%. thank you vasyl, for an interview, let's move from jokes to more serious topics on the map, and air alarms in ukraine have been added in red . -secondly , the volunteers canceled the evacuation from the occupied territories of kharkiv oblast, which was supposed to take place today, monday, june 6. the public was informed about this the day before by the organization helping to leave, which is engaged in preparing for the evacuation. unfortunately, today there will be no evacuation from kharkiv oblast, but one of our employees, journalist georgy spasok ukotskyi , volunteered to join the ranks of the kyiv terrodefense since february 24, changing his microphone to a grenade launcher. now georgy and his comrades are preparing to be sent to the front and will tell about his training unit and his

comrades specially for the public audience. i used to work on television . well, how did the third world war begin? i joined the territorial defense. i met many wonderful people. now our battalion is in in the combat deployment of the 72nd brigade, which covers the northern border of ukraine, people are interesting, beautiful, my collection of people has been replenished during this time, well, simply in geometry, in geometric progression, this is our kubrick, here we live, well, actually, let's conduct a small excu, well, let's go we have a lot of training, stream yes yes, realistic conditions, here you go relaxed contact, including in shooting with grenade launchers, we have an anti-tank grenade launcher unit, there are a lot of

all kinds of goodies, well, actually, let's go, well, we need to mask the image normally, be covered from above in short, we need to dig and re-dig, but we all need a lot of installers and electricians. in short, we need a lot of talent to discover. we are very lucky. words, what can i say,

everything is beautiful. we hope to return again. sevastopol , i am here, everything will be ukraine, just like that, tell me concrete . yes, i wrote the application that i am a mechanical engineer. we have love for the emergency room. funny guys, we will work. did you do it before when i got into the battalion? i worked at the radio market. i worked at a wire trading company. when the aggression came, i had to leave everything to go fight and protect my family, my native place, and yes , i understand a little bit about electronics here, like a little bit that will end soon dosaaf after the class of electronics

, then there is a communication battalion we have bambichnych e-e, there is such a one there in the 14th year, i dumped it yes, my mother is not an aluminum person, it is very sad. get to know each other, this is all the base yorshim balls, it is snowing there, america, well, let’s put it like the others, maybe it’s in the kit. so, the other one. well , since they are not on the others, anu took a photo of me with those heroic boys of ukraine. this story proves that our colleague georgy spasakotskyi remains journalists during the war, excellent personnel in prykarpattia helped evacuated ukrainians not only by local administrations, but also by religious communities in zabolotov

. since the end of february, the philistine sisters of the roman catholic church have actively joined volunteer initiatives and help both displaced persons and to the ukrainian military, how do they do it and where do they get help? let’s look at the story of natalya naumova. shadows of the parish of the holy trinity have been serving in zabolotov for 25 years before the beginning of the invasion. sisters to organize a humanitarian center with its own food warehouse in the premises of the kindergarten to the meetings of the necessary sisters involve all those who care and not only in ukraine in general well, we are very i am often alone in poland, our sisters work there, and they also collect various help from various of their acquaintances. a lot of people respond there,

and also the sisters who work with me here, they have their own families, their acquaintances, and they too. well, they are in contact. they call and we we say what the needs are the most here and then they try to help us in some way, then thanking local volunteers like men and boys who agree and we go for these goods, we will announce it to those who need it the most here, who most of all, of course, it is food. there is always something needed, and clothes. so many people ask for help. especially now that it is already warmer. if it were a warmer season, we have such rare cases when people ask for such individual help to help. we don't always get it with some kind of medication, but to the best of our ability, if there is such an opportunity, we help with this, they do not respect the sisters and the spiritual

pastorate to them. refugees and military volunteers, many people come to us for help, maybe we can help a little. many people come to us for help, we can help parsley. people come and directly ask us when it will end and how it will be mobile, but i am not looking at god can still pray because we have to rely on god to help ourselves with prayer what we have people are going through a lot of trauma and stress and when they come to us they tell us in their own words what they experienced before us i can with words what they survived, we have to patiently listen to them. they have to cry, tell us about everything, survive, and we pray together, we believe, and our only hope is in god, and we have already said about it, we pray, god is our only hope, until

sirens are heard in the village, the sisters cannot resume the work of the kindergarten and return to their usual concerns about teaching the development and preschool education of children, but i really hope that this will happen in the near future. our kindergarten starts at 8:30. children have adventures with their parents. this is the time when we still play together. later, later, eat something. breakfast, next time, at such a time, when we start classes with them, er, this is already serious. we have two groups, a smaller group, these are children 3-4 years old, and an older group that comes to school - these are schoolchildren, we have different lessons in mathematics er the ukrainian language, music, country singing together with the

children, we have a catechism, which was introduced by the father, and we also pray together, for ukraine, for our father , and everything is as it is, and we have it in our hearts, and the children are also coming, well, a lot - a lot of caress you forgive er-e simka you forgive we miss our children and we go to our kindergarten and there are two 32 children, eh, well, we are really, really waiting for them, eh. however, we can’t open another kindergarten for him, eh. well, we just don’t have shelter and we can’t work, but already we miss it so much that we should start working with them again unconquered

cities of ukraine zaporizhzhia, the city of harsh metallurgists , famous engine builders and a powerful hydroelectric power plant on the dnieper. and this is also the cradle of the cossack race of ukraine, and polish cossacks have never knelt before anyone, for centuries they defended ukrainian lands from invaders during the liberation war, the zaporizhia army fought for independence for the whole country in the second world war, the city courageously withstood the soviet undermining of the dnieper and the german occupation, and now zaporizhzhia is full of the cossack

spirit, as always, unyieldingly standing in defense of ukraine. zaporizhzhia is unconquered . to talk about the fact that our nation cannot be destroyed through the left to see the light, i am growing here to live through tears to laugh ." this is what makes us what no one takes away from us. glory to ukraine is great

a beautiful city, but kyiv is more beautiful for me one day russia attacked my country but we were lucky and my mother and i went to poland i like poland but i want to go home water i have a lot of friends in kindergarten i really want to go home and i will return soon i will return i i'll be back i'll be back i'll be back i'll be back i'll be back i'll be back i'll be back i 'll be back ukraine i'll be back
