creatures are not able to choose something else. and we in ukraine like to choose everything, even if it is insurance on hotline-finance hotline finance insurance, of course, online our temporarily occupied ukrainian cities of heroes ukrainians under occupation are heroically resisting the enemy and waiting for the day of liberation support their people join the flash mob with the hashtag city of heroes write about the occupied cities in on social networks and put their geolocation in the posts, publish a photo with a yellow ribbon, it is a symbol of support for the people in the occupation, ukrainians will have wars, support the cities of heroes, without ukraine , it is impossible to destroy the soviet union and this day has come,

believe in your luck, we are also independent, declare ukraine independent on august 24, 1991 a democratic state, ukrainians understand more than ever what independence really is. those who were deprived of freedom understand well what a great value it is. we will win and make such a state where ukrainians will not die because independence is a state that protects each of its citizens fear is natural you don't choose to feel it or not but it's only your choice what to do with it whether it will win or you will turn

it into a righteous anger anger that will ignite the heart and give strength to move forward this fear in we have something to lose, and therefore to defend at such an incredible cost, but great freedom is not gained for a small amount, every step we take today is a step into a happy future. each of us is here because we tamed the city, learned to manage it, made it our ally if it wasn't difficult for us, but it certainly won't be a shame in the cockpits of airplanes behind the monitors of radar stations at the control points of anti-aircraft missile systems at thousands of combat positions throughout the territory of our country, they are getting closer every day, congratulations, friends. we continue our series of

interviews until independence day, it is war for independence and we talk about culture, of course today my guest is bohdan beniuk mr. bohdan i wish you good health i am very pleased to be in the audience with you today and i think that something is on the way i will be able to say well, we ask each of our guests the same question, the first and the last , and this is logical, because the concept of independence has been transformed for the past eight years, many people are getting more and more information, and that is why i ask you: what does independence mean to you now, well , now it has intensified and this is the aspiration of independence from uh to get what we got and to keep it. it uh should call all of us citizens of ukraine who really love their country love their language their land uh twice as much work on it and don't get tired, ukrainians love to get tired, we quickly catch fire like

a bundle of straw and burn out very quickly and think what is it , it goes on for a long time and now we even hear the words and when it all ends and so on and we don't catch it the most important moment is that the ukrainians now have a chance, with the help of america and the european union, to defeat their enemy in a conflict that has been tormenting us for 14 years, and the philosophers say the truth that no generation has yet been born in ukraine that would not bear a blow from the russians bullying is destruction and so on, and that's why it's very important here that we use this moment now. but there will definitely be many different options, but the final victory is what we need to try now, we need to return to our borders once and remember because we understand that this war will be long and we can't say that we will do it before the anniversary , all these tricks with the fact that we have a five-year plan in 5 years

must be forgotten and thrown away, we must have weapons, we must work with our allies so that they do not fall out of love with us and help us we will continue to do everything to the country of russia itself has collapsed. it can fall apart . well, the time will come when we will have such weapons that we will be responsible for all the crimes they committed for us, and it will be early, very happy. when beer will be sold in moscow, and it will be 17-15 from lviv, waiting what is it to me, and in general, all these years of independence, we took many issues lightly, we took the issue of the army lightly, they said until 2014 why do we need it at all, then it turned out that somehow it was necessary, they say the same thing about culture , why is culture - it is absolutely some kind of territorial thing now we are talking about the fact that russian culture kills, we have to fight against russian culture, what about ours, did the question of the importance

of culture reach us? i have such a plan that the army, which we treated as you say, so inappropriately, let's remember who led that army during the years of independence, there are many people left who are cool, what are they called, that is, they work for another state and the ministers of defense and ministers in other industries, they were russians by nationality and worked for russia and did everything to make ukraine the weakest. therefore , this process is still going on in our country. we have many collaborators and many traitors and many who sit and wait for fresh news that we know and school principals and all-all-all, well, there are a huge number of them, and it is very important that we come to a period where we could calculate them and bring them to the water

. her judges they were not released on bail of uah 500,000 and they would continue to work in ukraine because each ukraine must protect itself and we must protect it mercilessly, i.e. do not spare those enemies who have harmed us, we must be tough, we must overcome our softness inside each of us ukrainians has the ability to be tough, because with such an enemy we have to learn to live like russia and we understand that we are ideal. as for me, we should turn into such ukraine should be similar to the state of israel, where we should know what is nearby and it will be because we must know how to handle weapons, not shacks. we must pass training. we must be physically trained. we must walk without healthy bellies and fight so that we can

run 2-3 km and be physically ready to protect our homeland, because that enemy is nearby, he will never calm down, and you and i should know and understand this well, and ukrainians should simply be educated from the very beginning with this thing that we have a wall of visuality on from this russia, it is intellectual, it is economic, 2 it military 3 and this wall will hold them back , there is simply no other way for us to survive, because if we only show weakness, everything will start again at once and everything will be at once then we will suffer more than one generation of ukrainians if they stay. do you think this will happen at all if they continue from childhood children should be told this because we have been living through russian aggression for at least the first century, but somehow it still doesn't really dawn on us that we need to beware of such a neighbor , the dance didn't stop, we must beware of our

weaknesses in ukrainian, the neighbor does as we allow him to do, first of all, look 30 years already 31 years of independence 30 years who taught in schools what program was taught in universities, which program in what language was taught there and many, many factors of the fact that the ukrainian state as ideally, it should be a state, it exists in every world, it actually did not exist, because there were many true opinions that said that we do not need this, we need to make cantons, we need to do something there, and there are many peacekeepers like me i called them to this day they sit like sheep, they themselves look like wolves, and that is why, for the first time, kindergarten, school and all public institutions are unambiguous. moreover , we have already reached the point where we must understand that our language is a business card, this is indicative the card is the language of each state,

we will know a russian by their russian language, how is it that i say to all those who think that it should still be russian, we don’t have it, we ukrainians know it by the ukrainian language , the ministry of culture has proposed to increase the status of the english language is not the state language, but the one that should be studied much more powerfully, you. i accept it correctly. i came to georgia and was very happy that the younger generation does not know or do not speak russian. this is me as a ukrainian bourgeois nationalist. i don’t know what bourgeois, but that’s what they called me, i am very positive. so, the further away we are from russia, the easier it will be for us to live in this world. let's talk about the ukrainian television managers from that year who are engaged in the production of tv series.

already addressed and said let's stop working with russia on the russian market, but they openly said that we will not stop doing this because there are certain economic reasons, we will not be able to survive without the russian market now, after a full-scale invasion, it seems that everyone expected that these relations would stop, but they did not stop, we recently saw a certain scandal with the serf series a, in which russian actors took part, and i understand that the producers are still aiming to drag out at least russian actors. what do you think about this? why is this happening? why are there such close ties? why is it so difficult to abandon the russian language altogether in tv shows? it seems to me that this issue should be resolved manually and the president should take care of it first and foremost. no discussions, no voting, democracy is

a double-edged sword, and that is why democracy in our country absolutely does not understand that such a democracy in the vast majority cannot be played with, that is, in order for us to get our independence to strengthen it ukraine actually did not have a moment of respite all the famines of the war that were going on all the repressions that were and in fact we were being destroyed all the time the most important and talented people who took part in the defense of this country and that is why there remained those people who were joined by the liberators who came and started teachers in my village, there was a school director from the east of ukraine , they did a lot of such things, mixed things up. the soviet state is our ukrainian people, and that's why we didn't have satisfaction for the renaissance, and we need it too. the military should do the same thing with these soapy ducks, you say it should be tough. i completely agree with you here. but if we talk about some

sanctions or prohibitions in culture, for example , not to film russian actors at the legislative level . bohdane, the russians are good, as they say they are, you are just radical, these people will tell you, let them say they are good, but the russians, how are they radical against ukraine? yes, there is a good one among them, so they shoot the radicals are also shooting at us, what do you and i have to do and what kind of russians do you think they are good or not radical in our country, we have to make our state ukrainian and that's all . money for productions from russia , then who is the traitor? well, it is now about money from russia, namely russian actors. many people i know know that every state supports russian

actors. well, of course they are unhappy. they are also victims of the regime, some cunning thoughts that are simply necessary clearly, a sickle is immediately taken and this blade of grass is empty, what a field is a garden, and that's why , if a citizen of ukraine says such things, then he is not a citizen of ukraine, he is a cunning exile, there is no other way. believe me, i look simple now in these holidays, the days before the holidays, i look like some lump of such protection but there is no other way. and you and i all understand very well that if we go on such a half thing, then we will suffer for many more years, there will be many years of cinema, it must be ukrainian cinema, it must be filmed ukrainian actors should shoot, ukrainian directors and producers should be ukrainian, and ukrainian rental should also be on

television . in ukraine , and not only that, if a person cannot go to the cinema, then television must have funds from the state to pay for the rental of this scrolling of this film and on the air. we watched the latest films in which i starred in recent years, there are a lot of them, but there are no cinemas anywhere, and in fact, no one knows them, and now i have to finish these films, which are me and the sky and the umbrella and the oriental and the mother of the apostles, which took 50 more than 50 prizes abroad, received another award, yes, much more mother of the apostles in general, it is already something 70 she is already in the leadership e prizes that you took ukrainian films and therefore many all kinds of things that can be done if it is about the ukrainian wise leadership of the state, then it is very easily done, it is done simply by resolutions that are not you can violate these liberal things about which you

say that they need to be saved, there is no need to save them, we need to be reborn from them and forget that they exist, how can i convince those artists with whom i filmed when they hate ukraine fiercely, that i will explain to them that they are wrong in well, this is nonsense, you don't need to waste your energy on such people, you just need to forget them, turn away from them, when a husband and wife can't live, what do they do? our brains are powdered, then we understand that i had no brothers and that this war happened, it was inevitable, unfortunately, it had to be , and this war will save us because otherwise we would have been destroyed as a nation. by the way, this all the cooperation with the russians in the movies and in the tv series took place. well, there were still some ukrainian-language tv shows there in the 90s. you were filming black council. it

seems like the year before the 1,000th year. and then everything went to waste. bourgeois's birthday with the russians began to be filmed and according to this principle, they began to shoot serials and with the principle that russian actors in the main roles have everything filmed in russian , ukrainian actors play something either episodic or secondary, and they are treated accordingly. what do you think, what results do we get from such cooperation? what exactly did this lead to? i will just give you one from the examples, there was a very popular, very scandalous case when one of the producers of the serials said that the ukrainian language is suitable only for comedy, for serious dramas , the russian language should be used. and when something fooling around on the screen is what happens. okay, in ukrainian, this is a wise person said a wise producer, the ukrainian producer is in quotation marks, and there is nothing to be surprised about. because such producers who

held on to russian funds with one hand and filmed here because it was cheaper here and if they filmed russian actors, why did they film russian actors? actors and because money was given by russia and they put up a columnist for themselves because then there was a sale in russia of their favorite actors and everything was very simple mathematics was and ukrainian actors they were so supportive there for mass production and so on and that's why those all the producers that you said are from the 90s or from which their surnames are known, so you can look at them on the list and understand who is a collaborator, who is the mole disguised next, who is what money and for whose money he existed in ukraine and what propaganda he did and for what purpose this propaganda reached the orange maidan, then another maidan, then a full-scale war - these are all the things that went against these people, those who

live in us in ukraine, and i, the russians, if they did not have such a support, if they did not have the support of all the other things, means mass information those who he lives here in ukraine and they said, let's go, but right now it's a very cool moment, you can meet everything without flowers, we met them with flowers, and that's why it's very important here that we have this moment with you, together with the audience who are watching us, we used it, but we understood that it's not easy the situation is a long situation - we will also talk about the great traumas that every family in ukraine will have about the dead of our loved ones . write it all here with coal in the stone in everyone's head , there is no other way to save ourselves, and that is why we are here with our people who help us, we must always keep them as the most frequent friendship, be able to keep them and understand them. so now

ukraine is a lot for me, even yesterday i went i was driving and they told me that our americans use it and the european union. i say oh-oh-oh, and the russians, what have you been doing for how many years? to have a joint business with those people who have at least the most important things who say that we must all fight for democracy in that direction to the east, the sun rises because of evil to us and that is why, unfortunately, it will be like this for the time being and that is why we need without i doubt to hold on to those people who are helping us now, and this is a chance, as i repeat, which must be used. me too . by the way, i hear a lot of talk about the fact that the americans are something, some kind of people forget, again, that

without american weapons, it is unlikely that we would continue to hold on like this now on the third day here we are it wasn't actually, well, first of all, the weapons that were given to us, then help, and we understand. when three or four days 5 came, and we resisted because everyone thought yes, yes , well, the russians are conquering half of the country over there somewhere in western ukraine, the partisanship begins. well, something like that, and here when it happened differently, then right away, the point of view on this relationship between the americans and the european union began to change, if this turning point had not happened. what do you think will happen to ukrainian cinema , because since 2014 we have had such a powerful surge, in particular, because there was state funding pilsings of the pre-school ministry of culture but now the ministry of culture and information policy said that you are calling but we don't have money for cinema , and that's why many cinematographers also started saying that we will start a process of stagnation and

there will be no ukrainian cinema and everything will be bad, i see that you are not so pessimistic that no, the madness of the brave sings a song. and when in the tenth and twelfth years they said that there was no ukrainian cinema, there was a film festival called open night. mykhailo illenko made it, there were young directors, young cameramen, we lived until that time and thought that if the state would give us money for one film, but this film should be given to the person who must bring the palm, the winner of all all festivals, and we did not understand that, after all, quality comes from quantity and we must first create a platform for our films to win some prizes, now this period is going on and now i want to make movies and we make movies without any financial support, so for some reason state support and without any support how do you do it

but it's very simple, but how do baryachters buy? yes, and how do they bring body armor? and how do they bring cars across the border for the armed forces of ukraine? and there will be a movie with us and there will be actors because we have never made money from film authors, we just the process itself is very interesting because when you meet a wonderful cameraman, director and actors, believe me, the work in this group is a huge creative opportunity people, and what we get there for bread and butter, it is very good if it is money, because somewhere we have to earn money, otherwise how will we live, but it is very important that it be self-sacrifice, and films will now be made en masse, where people will be made simply for to your desire and desire with good people, and those who complain and say that there is no funding. well, let's

sit with you in a chair and think that there is no funding. with- behind the cars, and there i talked with at our pawnshops and the head of the pawnshop told me a simply fantastic thing. on february 27, says mr. benyuk, i will never forget because our pawnshop went to the number. she named 240,000 women with children, a large mass of men who hid in boxes who made their way to the border with fake documents, and there are big boards hanging up to the border, don't run away from ukraine, help ukraine, there was no such thing, you should take a machine gun, if your hands are like that, you can't stand or be a pacifist, you're afraid of this matter, help otherwise by chopping firewood, eating, preparing positions, potatoes, 2 hectares and processing, which are given to the front in various ways, and she says 240,000

passed on february 27, but on the other hand, on the same day , 82,000 wage-earners went from poland to defend ukraine, here is a human box and a human heart that each of us has one lives in this ukraine and i think i live because i am a great person i was born and for me the world was created and does not think about what we are a generation i do not think about the state i do not think who will live on who will work in this state which people will stay in this country so hard, you can get more of that money anywhere, but right away someone has to make maps in order to exist in the center of europe, our country is on the map, storks fly here from faraway lands and nest here , regardless of the war nothing. and we are the people who were born here, where they are in trouble, it would be better if they didn't come back. and even more so when they are still taking

huge amounts of loot abroad and others are talking about it, then we understand that those people are not people, but in pharisees who live in ukraine and that's why this one the pharisaic state of ukraine, which still exists today, must disappear. it must disappear from the face of the earth and another generation will be born that will be clean and other leaders of the state who will not pull the collar and relations with each other and this. well, we have to go through this because otherwise we will not survive the existence of my country well, we exist like this, but how do we exist, what exists in quotes if we exist and talk about the fact that we have to save russian actors, then we do not exist, we breathe incense and when we will exist like any other a european country that is a model for me, for example there well, let's take canada or

france, which protects its interests and in a cultural way, also what films are shown only in french, even american ones from hollywood, they translate them and dub them and show them for what a to preserve the existence of their language either the language is the code and the code of the state, and therefore this code of the state is primarily hidden as the express ukrainian language , so it will make this code. and who will exist in this state and how purposeful it will be and you are crystallises, it depends on us too, thank you, i am absolutely with you, but i think it will take years to come to an absolute understanding of what you say and to put it into practice, because it is one thing to speak and understand that it is right, and another thing really on sunday love ukraine to the depths of your pocket as you say like chikalenko - i said before that i think we have

a lot of work ahead of us and after the victory we also have a lot of work i think those moments are very important we have to aim that this is not short-term program to save the state, and this is a huge number of years, we will spend on it and we must be internally prepared that we will live in such conditions that it will not be the same as it was before february 20 my lesya and we in the morning so that she came at half past five in the morning and we told us that the war was his birthday and this birthday , february 2004, he began to give birth to a different awareness of life in us where even my dog ​​labrador stood and looked with such square eyes cats froze because they understood that people stand and solve such matters with their guts, everyone felt energetically because all living things want to live and every living thing has its territory dogs keep their territory cats mark their territory man

marks his territory and this territory must be protected according to this people thank you for this interview , friends, it was bohdan beniuk and our series of interviews until the day of independence, please stay with espresso and watch colleagues have prepared many other interviews with other interesting and important people hello everyone
