would like to start, you know, from the personal side of the family. you were born in russia, your family lived there for a while, survived for a while, then moved to crimea. your mother is a teacher of russian literature, which i was, by the way, in the past. well, that is, you know the person who has a certain connection with russia. your family also had a certain connection with russia. please tell me if you and your family are now undergoing a transformation and moving away from this connection of mine mother and her whole family from dnipropetrovsk region, city of kryvyi rih my father is from kirovohrad region, city of oleksandria, he was born and grew up there, and i often spent my childhood there, and as for my birth, it is a very long and difficult story that i have

not explained to the general public because of the fact that there may be some misunderstandings, and i was born in russia only on paper. in fact, i was born in the city of kryvyi rih, as it was then the soviet union, and i do not know that there was some confusion with documents, i only found out about it later. i found out that i was born in kryvyi rih . although all the documents, the birth certificate was issued in such a way that i was supposedly from murmansk, where i served. my dad served on a submarine , and in principle, this is how i was recorded, but in fact, my place of birth is kryvyi rih, if we talk about the place where my father and mother worked on my coming into this world was in normandy. and if we talk about the place where i was born, the maternity hospital, it

is kryvyi rih, so you can laugh at such a very complicated story. and we also lived in the territory of belarus and on the territory of russia, where my father served in the military, and it was there for about five years. well, actually, about the transformation that i asked about, and there is, that is, there must be a transformation if my family is from ukraine and if we have always loved ukraine in the family sang ukrainian songs, if my whole family is on the tax line on my mother's line , they all live in ukraine, what should be the transformation, that is, we didn't have any in our family, there was no such thing as there, we are in russia under the union, this is all even this was not discussed when we lived in peter and we had a lot of guests come to our parents and there was no division. where did you come from? everyone was somehow friends with each other, well, i tried to create this story

because i know other stories because even when we were all together, moscow still said that we were the younger brother that kyiv is a younger sister, a younger brother, well, that is, i heard different stories, that is, it is not enough that the russian federation has always oppressed ukraine, arranged an artificial famine, although this could have been prevented in the same way. by the way, like the blockade of leningrad . to stage a famine is to create the worst possible conditions for the existence of the people of the people of the ukrainian people as a whole. for example, if we are talking about withdrawing from the blockade and returning to ukraine before the holodomor and everything that happened here even during the second soviet war, creating the most difficult and difficult conditions in order to oppress ukrainian culture in order to

tell us that we are unworthy to live a nice, classy life , unworthy of our own thoughts and so forth, unworthy of life, of existence as a nation, therefore all these stories of the union that we are supposed to be brothers, that we are supposed to be together, this is bullshit, it is not true, and only people who do not have critical thinking, who did not have critical thinking at that time, they believed and ate these stories when we came to crimea, even there, dad did not allow us to speak ukrainian languages ​​once a week we made fun of him, said dad well, what kind of nonsense is this, well, that is, it was funny for us as children to see how dad was completely serious and told us everything and then i appreciated it and it is a very cool tradition and now i am grateful to my dad for it and tell me please, you, er, er, are you talking like this about the total propaganda that russia has imposed on

us for many years, in particular, these theses from the manual about the younger sister of the younger brother and so on about this whole story. when did all this understanding come to you about which you just said what can i say do you know your own cut ah or as they say a sociological survey when they do it on the streets, here i am a resident of the crimea who grew up there and in principle i could succumb to the slander that was constantly going on there, these fifth colonies mood for news but a inside me there was something like mistrust mistrust. so when the russians came to us in the summer for vacation. well, if peter is the intelligentsia after all, and when families from peter lived there, resting in an apartment, then it was still possible for them to somehow accept it well, they were more or less adequate, but all

the others, well, in the literal sense, somehow morally wiped their feet against the crimeans in the sense that we come to you, we pay you money, so please shut your mouth and pray to us as to the gods that we bring you all this and you have to live for something it can't be like that. okay, you bring us these funds, but in return we give you housing, delicious food , safety, um, care, and all these well, let's say even all these crimean parties and at which all the people from of all of russia, this kazantype this it was generally like the republic of kazantype where there were a lot of peoples from different countries and after all that, after all the emotions they received in the crimea, telling us that we give you money, that's why you have to kiss our ass i'm sorry

, that's just my rhetoric. when did this happen? transformation with the language, because you spoke russian for a while, well, you also spoke russian and ukrainian, and now in my life i also speak russian, and that is, here is your instagram. he switched to the ukrainian language, which is an example of how we should now support our the culture of our country is the thesis that we are fighting because if there is no language there will be no culture and if we do not nurture our native language it will simply disappear in poland they speak the polish language when did this moment of understanding the bone occur and well, look at my instagram if see the posts i had posts in ukrainian and russian just now just now this is such a principled position when the full-scale invasion began and we must remember that the war has not been going on since february 24, it has been going on since the 14th year

yes, it is just now such a principled position to show an example of the time, they did not think about this principled position there after the 14th year, well , first of all, since the 14th year, i have been constantly going with volunteers to the soldiers with concerts to military units, and we were also in the east and in shiroki. i did not have transformations i always went to the fighters starting from the 14th year and then they told me a very strange thing like why are you going there - it doesn't look like a concern, it's nice there are no cranes, the stage is like that for a minute i don't go there for glamor or screen and scenes fighters need support so that they understand that they are with the people and then i wanted to spit in the face of these people but i am a polite girl and i restrained myself so that they would not say any harsh words now i would say i would say in vain that i

i kept silent then and leveled it all off, and i can still say that now, i believe that there should even be some kind of program at the state level so that ukrainian artists constantly travel to this part and support the fighters. well, so that the fighters understand that they , together with the people, are needed and waiting for them they are loved, they are valued and respected as it is in america, in america it is an honor to do something for the military. i even know such cases when people citizens see the military in the papa in a restaurant in a cafe and they treat them to lunch there, coffee or something. i was in at the airport there is a 20% discount for military personnel on books. and this is everywhere in america, wherever you go, you constantly feel that we have a military and they are very cool, and the state and the people are with them, and we support them as much as we can. let's return to the issue of language, i see in your comments some criticisms

about that that after the 14th year, you still had songs in russian from time to time. and why did you answer now, after february 24, your position became radical, so that i would answer in the same way as then my creativity this song came to me like this and i thought it was necessary to release it so that it would live now i have such a rejection and, um , non-acceptance of the fact that if something comes to me, i won't do it like that in russian, and then this song do i came with these chords. i went through a painful breakup with my husband. i was in a lot of pain and in 10 minutes i went to the piano and in 10 minutes i wrote this song. i really wanted her to live. this was my sublimation into the creativity of my pain and regret. i just see there is still a cast

this guy tried to sit on two chairs . well, without reading hater's comments, i am in a sense the same size as you read, and i don't even remember all that haterism. let people write. i believe that words are one thing, and actions and deeds are another. people judge me by my actions. i am not ashamed of myself and my actions. now the verkhovna rada of ukraine has passed this law regarding the banning of russian songs in the public space . to there is no return to such a point and we do not have the right to return everything to the way it was before those terrifying days before the death of thousands of ukrainians and we simply do not have the right to take a step back therefore normal law i will tell you even more that when on the territory of ukraine you

listen to arctic and asti and people like him, you pay royal, you pay taxes for listening to this content, and the money for this content goes back to russia, to these artists , back to the russian treasury . that is, this is such a small step that is worth thinking about, it also applies to equestrian content, any content that we consume on the territory of ukraine, but it is russian, and we pay them money, then these funds are converted into death, so if we are not talking about of royalties in this situation, for example, let's imagine, let's simulate the situation, you are giving now on the street, which is very often, in principle , i observe and er, some street musician sings a russian song. why, conditionally, i am a soldier, you know

, quite a popular song, would you make a comment we made a very dense exchange and very firmly supported low-quality russian pop, let's say it honestly, because all these basque kirkorovy, well, i'm true, i can't listen to that, for me, it's low quality. i know a lot of ukrainian artists in our country, even back in those days when they they didn't support, that is, the situation is better now, that's why we can't abstract and forget all these years that we lived next to this neighbor, this is an irreversible process, these songs that we know, well, because since soviet times, everyone is together, one language but but again, it shouldn't be like that, and these are the times when a new formation is growing up and it's completely in their hands not to sing on the street. i'm a soldier in their hands to sing on the street. there's a night. what a moon or red

viburnum or a bunch of different ukrainian songs there, i love oh in the cherry tree well, there the nightingale was chirping , it’s still cool to walk down the street and listen as if to the guitar who sings this song uh from our older generation we can’t demand this, let’s also be honest, this is now the choice of each person, but the youth and the new generation they are already seers oh that's all fear, they already understand what they should sing, what they should consume, and where to say no, well, if a young guy sang this song, would they notice or say something? no, i don't do that, i don't do that. er time and energy, i will better spend time on my creativity and my creativity by

my example and with the help of constant publicity, i will give others an example, that is, it is better to focus on this. so i will do more if i , on my part, call to constantly do give this example and act. and after i call from my informational platform to cherish ukrainian and consume ukrainian, then perhaps this is the guy who plays the guitar. i am a soldier, maybe he will be inspired by my example and think and think, and really, what am i going to do ? other , that's what i mean about big things , uh, well, actually, uh, we're writing an interview at the moment when you literally came back from the war zone, and you do a lot of volunteering, and you collect i saw there and on cars and medical equipment,

tools, etc. what is the biggest project you are implementing, and how much do you think it is? what scale did you manage to implement? what can you be proud of? to leave the country that my place is here with the people and the country, especially in such difficult times, at most - i went to america in order to raise funds at charity concerts. we collected more than 4.5 million uah, which were transferred to children's funds, to funds for the aid of the wounded and also to the armed forces of ukraine. i went on a great european tour live win with studio 95 quarter, we collected funds for x-ray tables, this is a very necessary thing, with the help of which

all the debris can be seen during the operation, one such table costs $ 100,000. these are not high amounts when people have already given everything, but we still collected a part of these funds for these x-ray tables, we wanted to collect half a million dollars, we collected a little less, and something, i gave a concert in dnipro, bartolomeo, and thanks to this concert, we also gathered to the nations more than 65,000 hryvnias, thanks to which we arranged a holiday for the children and fully covered all communal debts, the concert in mukachevo was also in support of the 105th battalion of the 63rd or 65th mechanized brigade e so that they had a car because the car is at war - it's here now, but tomorrow it's gone, a projectile hit and that's all, and we need these drones, more cars all the time. when i went to america for general concerts, i also had my charity individual concerts,

for example, in washington, ah, now let's count, they collected about 300,000, for sure uah and these funds i i sent it to a volunteer who was involved in helping the azov unit, that is, these funds were completely gone . i was also in denver at a solo concert in america, and the denver community of ukrainians personally handed me funds for the azov residents to help . i came to kyiv and i met the sister of one of the azov residents. i told her transferred all these funds that will go, i think, to the support of prisoners and wounded and to some legal aspects, because they really need it now, and well, i don't stop, i'm constantly going somewhere, collecting something, so we're back just yesterday i returned from concerts for fighters , there were hot spots, i won't name the artists who refused to go there because it's

scary, well, again, i have the same opinion, if he's a popular artist, it's not because he was given this title in the office on the sidelines and clapped the people's hands, it's like our president volodymyr zelenskyi, who didn't go, who stayed in the country, this is the people's president - he is a person who is with the people, and artists are also a person who should be with the people. i want to show the fighters that i'm not afraid even though i'm a tin how scary because the cities in which we were in are flying in. these cities are divided into sectors by orcs , and then every day three to four to five shells arrive and there are concerts, so if there is an air raid, everything ends and you have to go to the bomb shelter is so scary for me, but the soldiers are fighting for us, i have no right to be afraid, that’s the kind of politics they published and the photo on which the glass in

the car is broken into pieces, yes. on this glass , i wanted to ... that i could there he could not sit in this place. he could not become a turning point in such a way that he would also start to be afraid. as you said some artists. well, i could sleep in kyiv, a rocket. of course, it is scary. well, i lived near kyiv all the time during active hostilities. in kyiv, i went out in the morning, i counted the explosions, i counted 21 explosions one morning and stopped doing them because they continued, so i was very scared when something flew to us in pechersk at night and delayed the house, the glass shook and we were on our knees for another hour. and i was just all wet from that fear, all my t-shirt, the clothes in which i ran out into the corridor with

my sister, my niece. i was very scared, but everyone is scared, but we have to fight in this . we are coming, we all have strength and there is light and i will go to the light as long as my heart beats and my dad is in kharkiv, i am also afraid for him, he is going to the opera and always flies there kharkiv in general well now there is no security there, there is always something there flies to different regions of maine i'm very sorry for all the people who live under these shellings, well, it's terrible."

uh, please tell me, if you had the opportunity to my colleagues who refuse to go to support our military, uh, say something or somehow argue, uh, that moment, the fact that it is necessary to do something for our country, for our military, so that you said that there are different people with different emotional perceptions of reality, but an artist, in my opinion, is exactly the person who should lead, who has strength and should set an example, so i want ukrainian artists to lead and be brave

and were united with their people with their fighters and supported them thank you very much only united together we will win we will understand only in this way we will fight we will resettle we will win and that you are not news together we are strong young mykhailo hrushevsky took the hannibal oath to write a hundred books in the ukrainian language after 30 years he significantly over fulfilled his promise not only described the history of ukraine , proclaimed its independence, independence that we will always defend, the state is us , naval glory, naval courage, naval calm naval justice naval

hearts naval forces of the armed forces of ukraine due to the war started by russia with the support of belarus, silence reigned in the ukrainian halls and the russian and belarusian judokas chose the position of sport outside of politics the people's federation of judo will continue to allow these athletes to compete in neutral status , the position of neutrality - this is direct support for the war in ukraine and the killing of ukrainians .

we must remain silent, i call on everyone to support the boycott of russian and belarusian athletes of national teams and teams, to support ukraine on the sports front, you are the voice of democracy, silence kills with the support of the ministry of youth and sports of ukraine in the most difficult times for the country, faithful only to everything but the state also provides help to everyone who seeks help through the war new job in every city, there are employment centers where vacancies are updated daily, choose conveniently and fill out the form on the official website in action or in the chat body, work, develop, live for the sake of victory, we will convince the paraplay, we will win that

you are not news, together we are so strong, but how kind they are, what a choir, how humane they are, soldiers, a soldier will not offend a child. did you still agree in the ranks of the teroboron? of course, you personally have your own when you made this decision, on what emotions did you make the decision, so you will also go somewhere, exchange the camera for a machine gun, we are not together. if you go there with a camera, then without a weapon, it is somehow

unnatural there, it will just be wrong. i served in the soviet army a long time ago, i remember something primitive and immoral there, but we were prepared that we would have to conduct direct contact fire with the enemy, i will tell you that a weapon is a weapon if there are weapons, if there is something to hand over, it can be anything, and i try not to give in to some romantic or other emotions, but this is just a new situation, a new reality, have you been to donbas before, and when did the war start 8 years ago? mostly, you traveled along the front line. you traveled and showed your paintings of those who passed through the fire, and not only this film would be shown, and with what feelings do you now travel along the front line? if you used to travel as a film artist, well,

that's all changed very much now it's a really hot phase and during the time i was there i filmed lysychansk for the last time and we moved a little to the other side, this is directly near severodonetsk lysychansk, you were somewhere on the eve of brutal battles or during fierce wild animals, and things like that happened very kindly flew to lysychansk i'm not talking about severodonetsk there, the front-line guys used to come and talk about something i had time to film it 's already very serious and there are losses and there is victory the main thing is that the victory is moral because it sounds trite, but i'm to my country and they're not they know what they came for, do you have any things after this trip that you cannot get out of your head, emotional things that hit you hard, well, with age, the perception is a little different, i can't say that i am shocked

, contused by what i saw, but when you see today a person and tomorrow she will be gone, well, it can’t help but stop it, it’s time, and one more very positive impression , i was impressed by what interesting people are fighting there. i’m not talking about the film crew . and a young guy, mykhailo gerasim, says to me, what are you doing here, our graduate? here he is fighting three actors from the movie toloka, which i also showed while there was an opportunity in the war. when i was uh in 15th year in pisky and i would even
