embarrassing . with you, vitaly portnikov, we will talk today about what is happening with the war that russia has unleashed against ukraine. it has been almost 6 months already, as well as about trends and events, and our first interlocutor is today a professor of political science of the kyiv-mohyla academy, scientific director of the democratic initiative foundation, oleksiy haran. greetings, oleksiy, mr. oleksiy. good day, i want to start with that sociological survey . what is the public like now ? all the commentators, the majority of the commentators are talking about the fact that you see how the war changed the ukrainian society in the direction of democracy. and it seems to me that such trends have always been there, no serious changes have taken place, am i right or not

comment on this, please, i am the first. i listened carefully to you yesterday, yes, you told all this very interestingly and said that you are a specialist, thank you, thank you for your kind words, yes, but what would i like to say, i would like to announce right away that we are tomorrow yesterday, tomorrow, i'm sorry, we will present our survey, which we conducted together with the razumkovo center before the independence day, which unites ukrainians, and our results are much more optimistic, and i want to explain, i can't fully cite these results now, because they will be presented. it will only be tomorrow. 12:30 these the results will already be on the website, they will be available to everyone. and now i would like to say that a conventional war requires a certain concentration,

concentration of efforts, concentration of the authorities, and this is true . you know , when people are asked, what do you think, now that it has been attacked, can we limit some freedoms? well, people answer yes, and i guess there is a reason for this, because let's remember how ukrainian was literally destroyed statehood in the period from the 14th to the 19th year, when the enemy took advantage of the very fact that we have freedom and when we had a company in social networks and in the mass media, everything disappeared. the government is to blame. the government betrayed all this, the ukrainian government is to blame for everything, and so on so on, so

if we are talking about this, if the specific dimension is the specific dimension of the war, then yes, people understand these limitations, and you and i know very well what is actually happening and the opposition and experts have imposed a censorship on themselves to a certain extent. that is, it does not mean that we do not criticize the government and in this sense i am by the way i wanted to say that we have an unheard of freedom of speech even in the conditions of war, and this must be explained to us , uh, to our western and international partners, that we still have freedoms and the possibility of criticizing the government. and the basic things are, what do you think is democracy better in ukraine or, in certain cases, authoritarianism is better, and

here again i can't give these numbers now because the presentation will only be tomorrow, but the number of ukrainians who stand for what is better for ukraine democracy is the highest for the entire period of the polls. that is, well, let's say i can give you a non-secret figure. yes, until 2014 , there were fewer such people. now, for a minute , less than fifty percent after the revolution of dignity, this the indicator has grown to 54%, and now it is even higher, and if you want to know a specific figure , please follow our press conference, which will be in ukrinform, which will be online, and we will present these figures, and what is interesting, what

is the higher? well and this is understandable, the higher your educational level state, the more you talk about the fact that what should be preserved, must be preserved, must be preserved, democracy is a request for a strong hand, it is also yes , but here why would i like to emphasize that a strong hand is not a must at all necessarily means authoritarianism so de gaulle was a strong leader, margaret thatcher were strong leaders, but all of them, er, reckoned with democracy, and we remember that er, de gaulle lost- lost the referendum in 1969 and went to resignation although no one obliged him to do it, he could not do it but he resigned because of that, and besides,

we had one more question for which we will run the numbers tomorrow - this is again when there is a dichotomy . and i wanted to, but all the same, most ukrainians are ready to endure material difficulties for the sake of freedom and observance of civil civil rights, and er, and this is also very, very important, so if er, um, you know, i’m afraid that we know that our government is very er is very oriented towards sociological research so that someone in power did not perceive this research as a place and on the

order of the support a-a hmm the attitude towards democracy during the war as a kind of indulgence in order to be able to, say, tighten some nuts and er and and not post continue not to allow opposition opposition channels rather to limit the activity of opposition channels and to believe that society is an approver of such indulgence , ukrainian society does not give our survey again - it shows the results will be detailed tomorrow by various categories and uh, and we let's show you if you already have these survey results, no numbers, but you already see how ukrainian society has changed during these six months of war, well, in general, again, i probably won't be original here, we see that ukrainian

society has just shown its maturity, maturity , and this again yes, we can talk here about what , you know, i won't comment on, let's say, the president. yes, but what he said is a person who holds a position called freelance freelance adviser to the head of the office, yes, by the way this is very well, i mean mr. arrestovych, and very often in the west, when they give an interview, they tell me , listen, the adviser to the president said, they don't differentiate, i explain to them. listen, it's not the adviser to the president - it's the adviser to the head of the office, so because such an official means the name, moreover, he is a freelancer. he is not even on the staff, but we do not have this confirmation that he is a part-time adviser . unfortunately, he also said that if it means

that they said that they discussed more about the threat of war, they say that all the ukrainian men left and well, this is clearly not true, and we saw it, for this we did not need to do sociological research . we need to talk, talk honestly, there are things that uh, that cannot be discussed directly, there are some military things that cannot be discussed directly during the war, but the ukrainians have shown themselves to be a mature mature nation and we are really

here, the question is about uh - about citizenship, we are proud of it, the numbers are sky-high, yes identifying ourselves with the fact that we are citizens of ukraine and not our ethnicity, i am saying this for our people who talk about, well, for our patriots, because sometimes it means that we like to emphasize that we are ukrainians, ukrainian-speaking ukrainians not only ukrainian-speaking, not only ethnic ethnic ukrainians, but also many, many others, representatives of other ethnic groups, who protect ukraine, protect ukraine, and it became imperative to understand more about what we are not on the same path with russia, and there are many

tendencies here, including radical ones, which say that we need to sever relations with russia, all the way up to the ban on the entry of russians, er, russians into ukraine. one more moment. if we talk about m- m, again , we are united by the belief in our victory, and here the numbers are also very high, and again, this victory is considered as the restoration of our territorial territorial integrity, that is, the numbers are, the numbers are minimal, that is this is literally a few percent of those who say well what can be agreed there with the occupied crimea, or is it just the restoration of the status quo on february 23, what

was uh, that is, it is literally a few percent. well, i have already told you almost everything about the survey, although we will show the specific numbers tomorrow, overall , the results are positive. although i will say that the number of people has dropped sharply so far. well, we showed that it was before the war and shortly before the war, because the aggressiveness of russia became more and more clear, and especially when the war started then er. if it was enough before a high percentage of those who said that not only russia is to blame, but also the actions of nato and the leadership of ukraine, well, sometimes you can hear it, you know, even on the street, that, well, they say, it was not necessary to annoy russia so much, that is

, we have such people in society, yes, sociology shows that there are some regional distributions and they feel that there is a regional distribution, but actually here i can here i can actually talk about our previous research yes. it is face-to-face, that is, closer to the face, it is on the phone, namely closer to the face, and it showed that in the east in some places there are even more radical attitudes towards the exposure of russian aggression than in the country, on average, because people saw in practice that so what is this russian measure, you know, i will share with you maybe one of my fears, what are the fears, they are that the

longer the war is necessary, the more it will be a war of attrition, the more it will destroy our cities er, the more our people will be directly around us, our relatives and relatives who are either mobilized further or are under fire a-ah hmm if only it were logical yes that the psychology of people is such that people will be worried about this and will say about it well let this end nightmare, we are ready to concede something, let him let him end this nightmare, and you know it is even mysterious to me, but putin is actually counting on this, the truth is, that is, he is counting on the fact that he will be able to intimidate the west with the fact that there is a family the average will pay 500 euros to

more for gas during the war than earlier in the winter ah and he is in a language that will be able to intimidate ukrainians too, so polls do not record this yet, so far this has not been recorded for me eh you know this eh even even a little strange, yes, because we know that human nature is such that well , this fatigue has to start at a certain moment. and we don't see it yet. i would say that this is such a peculiar phenomenon. you know, it happens here according to the law according to newton's third law
