you were ukraine in the world, thank you very much, thank you very much for your comments, experts. thank you for joining. take care , oleksiy a. oleksiy, general scientific director of the foundation for democratic initiatives, inilka kucherev, and professor of the political science department of the national university of kyiv-mohyla academy . and i don't even fully understand who is asking about what and where and how, but in any case, he said and said, er, different people interpreted it differently. i think that tomorrow in lviv, when will it be maybe there will be a joint briefing from utershyn with erdogan, maybe there will be an approach to the press, maybe the president will somehow explain what he just had in mind, well, in any case, i am only in favor of really fighting against the same enemy with all our forces. well, i couldn't actually do anything. the main thing is that people who work for the state work for the state. and those who work against the state do not have access to any levers. this is the most important thing at this time. well, and then there will be. then there will be. as they say, investigate who didn't do what. well, what? now in

we are scandalous by the way, the topic of culture during the war, or did it find a scandal on checherin well, how did he find himself alina, we will just tell us now mirin good evening please two words, and especially now they are related to state structures, related to the ministry of culture, information politicians and now today's scandal is directly connected with the dovzhenko center, with the dovzhenko center - this is the archive of cinematographic ukraine and with the state agency for cinema affairs, the fact is that the latter, that is, the state cinema i wanted to say that i intended to reorganize the dovzhenka center, but the dovzhenka center announced that it was a liquidation, and i will tell you that now we will talk with the acting director of the

dovzhenka center, necessarily with olena honcharuk, but i will tell you in a few words i'll tell you what happened today and why the film community was terribly upset. well, because the dovzhenko center actually announced a threat to the entire film fund that will be collected there. see it, there are more than 10,000 names of different films, objects, units. yes, preservation, that is, all the ukrainian cinema that we know may disappear somewhere because they want to transfer it to some completely incomprehensible organization, which is called a dormant organization. we will also talk about it . but the fact is that the head of the state cinema, maryna kudyrchuk, unlike her predecessor pylyp ilenka, practically does not communicate with the press. it is almost impossible to get an interview. well, many representatives of the cinema and the media support this

on the fact that she is not competent and that is why she is afraid to give interviews because she will not be able to answer a-a number of questions by the way . she has already had scandalous interviews and that is why she does not give them now she talks to the press mostly on her page it is closed on facebook and comments are also closed. i am on the state cinema facebook page where people started leaving comments today. of course, they are outraged . they saw that such a panic was spreading and they disabled the possibility to comment absolutely democratically, so openly in quotes, of course. ironic, i'm saying, well, of course, we also appealed to mrs. maryna kudarchuk to take part in our broadcast and explain what was going on, but we didn't call her, we didn't get through, she didn't pick up the phone, and accordingly, we can't

write on facebook because she closed herself off from everyone and so that no one wrote anything bad about her well then, let's talk with solena honcharuk, the representative of the dovzhenka center, they are clearly performing the duties of the director of the dovzhenka center, uh, today, elena's living room, good evening. well, first of all, i'm i will tell you that there is no way they can appoint you so definitively tell me what the reason is. i would like him to answer this question that minister tkachenko who held a competition for the post of general director of the dovzhenko center in 2021 and the competition was held according to all the rules, but the ministry undermined him and the contract was not concluded as it was explained to me at

one meeting in the ministry that my development strategy proposed during the competition did not correspond to the ministry's plans for the further development of the dovzhenko center, therefore they could not accept accordingly accept me for the position of general director, well, that's clear. now let 's deal with uh, about the statement. i'm sorry, i forgot to say that the state agency for cinema issues, here uh, put out a statement, its response to your statement. although they don't comment on the media , it's very- such a long statement, there are many different explanations. that's why ms. marina doesn't want to take part in our broadcast. let me, then, maybe refute it. or somehow explain certain such and such points that are in this explanation of their answers. well first of all, they say that they are not going to liquidate the dovzhenko center, but that it will only be an organization and, well, they say that your work

will become more effective after it, what do you say about that? well, first of all, i would like to say that in civilized societies, such a decision is a very serious decision for not just for the dovzhenko center, it is serious for ukrainian cinematography and for culture in general, and even in such a very difficult war period, such things will usually be preceded by the drafting of discussion strategies and careful planning with consideration of all risks the positive sides of the negative sides and, as a rule, similar orders. they are already the result of careful thinking before that, the development strategy of

the center was not approved by the ministry. on this development strategy. then many questions could be removed or discussed in some working mode, because this previous work was not done. we received the order in this form, as it was published today, only yesterday and it came as a shock to us because we really talked to doshkin earlier about the initiative to separate ukraine and there was an agreement that we should work out a road map, although there is no strategy , but there must be some kind of road map and we should have understood then what it would be the consequences for both institutions and the dovzhenko center and the newly created or revived theft machine of this road map did not happen. instead, we received a very complex

order on reorganization and transfer of powers. there are many points formulated quite optically in within the framework of legislation, although this is something that needs to be studied . but the most important thing is why we classified the reorganization as liquidation, because it is actually written between the lines, because if the core of the dovzhenko center's activity, which is the film font and the film collection , is transferred to the management of another institution , the activities of the dovzhenko center are put under great question by ms. olena a. in general and let's - please explain to our viewers because well, you know the activity of dovzhenka of the center, yes, she is, well, she has been quite active in recent years there and the renovation is new and there are a lot of different parties, it’s even live. you used such a word because it really

was such parties. there were many young people there and they came. you showed films. you had many different e exhibitions, but uh, uh, uh, uh, far from all of them. ukrainians know what a center is and its importance. can you explain in general, what is this danger ? why is this reorganization liquidation? how do you interpret it? what can it bring ? which from the outside as well as from the inside, well, if from, if from the ukrainians themselves, what is the threat then in this case a-a well, what you told elena about the activity of the center is the visible part yes from which spectators, visitors, guests of kyiv, foreign guests, uh, could come into contact directly that there really were

performances, festivals, film screenings, exhibitions, but there are actually activities that made it possible to hold all these events since 1994, when the dovzhenko center was formed. the center collected the difference from all over ukraine and the world, e.e. ukrainian films on various media, because it was not stored in its entirety before, the films were in film studios or in rental agencies, in some places they were stored in museums or even privately in people's homes, e.e. the center started gradually these films, collect, accumulate, describe , catalog, er, the function of scientific research was organically born, and it gave the opportunity to

make exhibitions later on . such a large-scale study of ukrainian cinema, avant-garde, that is, unfortunately, this part of our activity is invisible, but it is like an iceberg that is hidden under the water, so if something threatens the collection, there is, for example, a threat of its dispersion and distribution. documents, scripts, manuscripts, works of art, if the collection is divided, then it falls apart accordingly, well, this is the integrity, if the study. now they organized it like that and there is a risk of this, i am a risk that if someone perceives the

material simply as unnecessary, and bohdan, many people from the management bodies believe that the film is junk, it should be thrown away, it is also, unfortunately, a very careless , incompetent approach because the film is the original material that must be preserved, if it is lost, we will lose the opportunity to restore the films if the digit falls, but the storage of the film does not cancel the modern one, and we are now constantly working to ensure that as much as possible films to be converted into digital format at least we are doing what ours allows us now olena literally stays with us for 30 seconds tell me what you are going to do because it is really such a big scandal what what what are your plans because i hear even proposals to call for the resignation of maryna kudarchuk for her particular inaction, here i

have to say that such complex decisions are made not only by the manager, but also by the work of the team. i still have a division that would work on legacy movies. that is, it was not their work. they recently started doing it . rather, i worked on this decision that was brought to our head, that is, our goal now, by communicating with the management bodies as well, is to ensure that the dovzhenko center is preserved in its integrity, that the collection is preserved, so that we can continue

to work so that the dovzhenko center will finally receive the status of a state film fund in the legislative field, and it is possible to achieve this only through communication , because we still come across the fact that the governing bodies do not really understand the value of what the dovzhenko center does or not they want to understand this, olena, thank you very much, but for the time being, we have run out of time, but we will continue to monitor the situation regarding communication, i absolutely agree with you and repeat once again that we are ready to provide air to ms. maryna kudarchuk, and the main state cinemas if she will of course come out somehow in communication olena honcharuk was the acting director of the dovzhenka center, and i will remind you that this great film fund of ukraine is a place where ukrainian cinema is stored, studied, researched, wants to reform the state cinema, but representatives of the

dovzhenka dovzhenka center fear that they will be liquidated together with a huge film heritage in glasses, comforting information, i have a word for you, so that ukrainians don't think about, no matter what they talk about, the first place is still the war, the war is ours victory seven days a week from monday to sunday seven different spheres of human activity sports culture politics eight presenters of express journalists experts opinion leaders in real time about the most relevant events through the prism of war every day author's projects on espresso february 24 the date that changed us the date that changed the world and now what interests us the most is our victory, when we will defeat the enemy, how to predict the course of the war, the

. so, august 18 in most regions of ukraine warm to hot weather will prevail, the weather is hot - this applies more to the eastern part of ukraine, the southeast, well, the south, but finally, the territory of ukraine, too, well, it will not be cold, what about the rains, dear residents of the western regions, especially lviv residents, who have recently complained a lot about frequent rains such a break from the rains is expected on the 18th in the western regions, in the northern regions of ukraine, dry weather will prevail, there will be a lot of sun, but rains are expected in the east in the local center in the southern part of ukraine, to put it simply er hmm somewhere in the afternoon of tomorrow or in the evening well, we will talk about this when we will review each of our regions in detail. no fewer people react

negatively to the increase in the magnetic e-e of the magnetic activity of the earth, please take it into account, take some preventive measures, which is necessary and, of course, on the advice of specialist doctors we are returning to the metrological picture , we are starting from the traditionally western regions, as i have already said, tomorrow in the western part of ukraine, no precipitation is expected, the air temperature will be , er, moderate, comfortable, somewhere around 24-28° in transcarpathia , it may be higher in the northern part of ukraine, in the kyiv region, in the zhytomyr region in sumy region, in chernihiv region, there is also no significant precipitation , the air temperature is from 26 to 25 ° heat, in the eastern part of ukraine, hot weather will prevail, strong heat, fortunately, it will not be as it was recently there when the air temperature reached 36 or 38 degrees, but somewhere it will be in the range of 28-30 e-e

degrees e and in luhansk region it may be higher up to 30-33 and as i already said in the east there is a high probability in the afternoon and evening of short-term thunderstorm rains in the central part of ukraine, the rains will be local, short-term, and of an elitist nature. therefore, it is possible even a downpour during a downpour, a thunderstorm raged, the strengthening of the wind has developed and the strengthening of the wind is such a modern strengthening, but of course be careful in the southern part of ukraine the air temperature will be high 28-30 28 32°, and there is a high probability of short-term heavy rains in kyiv and in kyiv tomorrow dry weather will prevail in the capital with an air temperature of about plus 27°. i just want to say that on august 19, this is the distribution of precipitation and air temperature will not change significantly for now. keep an eye on our

current forecasts on our favorite espresso channel. finally, i want to say that there is a loud growl . it is now in moscow. gloomy horse lavrov really wants to go to new york. at the general assembly of the organization united nations maybe i just want to go to new york, and in moscow they said that they demand to give a laurel visa , an american visa, an american one, he doesn't have many relatives of the russian political elite, first of all , and representatives of the authorities were sent home from the united states of america, in particular medvedev's son, let me remind you well and here lavrov is not given a visa in the russian federation, they say that the united states is hindering diplomatic activity and they say that we would very much like to see sergey lavrov at the general assembly of the united nations and visas for him they don't give about it, says the russian ambassador to the united states of america, antonov, and it creates certain inconveniences for lavrov and his team, well, you know

, i don't know how this issue will be resolved. well, it may be obvious that there will be some diplomatic concessions from the other side. i think that we should expect certain concessions from russia, because they are used to being insolent and always demanding something, as if they have the right to it . they don't have any right to it now. well, the fact that there is a loud growl over there in moscow is already nice , now for your attention i offer a news release from them colleagues from the ukrainian editorial office of bbc news are watching together good evening we are from ukraine on bbc news ukraine my name is hryhoriy zhigalov during the next half hour we are talking about such new explosions in the russian rear ukrainian armed forces destroyed the russian base in the kherson region at the energoatom created a headquarters what considers the threat scenario
