boy's disappearance, i'm very sick, what to do. where else to turn and how to find a missing child can't even imagine, that's why i asked everyone who sees me to look carefully at the photo of mykhailo timofeev to remember this face if anyone sees a similar guy call us to the child tracing service and here we received such a message at a bus stop in kyiv where it is called i saw a boy who looked like mykhailo timofeev, but it could be a virgin. the state gave me some dark hair and he asked for a few hryvnias. he said that he wanted to go to the white tserkva . ms. lesya, who called us, told us that saw a guy who looked like mykhailo. here at this stop near the north bridge in kyiv. she says

day that we wanted to be on our calendars , a day that ceased to be just a holiday, a day that not everyone met, a day that could not have happened if it were not for our defenders. we thank the ukrainian soldiers for the independence day of ukraine, more than 150 days without weekend on the front line more than 31 captured enemy equipment tankist yevhen

brings victory closer every day and every day he says i am not tired i am not tired of defending ukraine we are returning in the liberation of the city of denys support is already waiting a miracle volunteers and neighbors ready to lend a shoulder even at work loves not working as they work it unites people very much where what is lost cannot be returned we will create something new i already want to be close to demand people between ukrainians we help we win parabant we tie up we will win whatever you don't news together we are strong we congratulate everyone the marathon continues, the only news in

the studio is oleksiy fadeev, and today we are talking about ukrainian independence in the studio , as a guest maksym yakovlev, head of the department of international relations, director of the kyiv-mohyla school of political analysis academician and historian oleksandr alfiorov , good gentlemen, happy holiday, good night, probably already. so today we are talking not so much about the holiday, but about the very concept of independence, although we will also talk about the holiday, and the first question will be a bit provocative . that on august 24, 1991, our independence seemed to just fall on our heads from the sky like i don’t know a suitcase with money and we somehow took advantage of this chance, do you agree with this opinion, gentlemen, absolutely as a historian let me say that i i do not agree is a thesis because the concept of independence is an accompanying concept of the state, the

concept of the state is also the concept of statehood , the duration of state processes, the creation of different times in different institutions of state governments, in general, name changes, including ukraine, the ukrainian people's republic, the ukrainian state, the zaporozhian army, the hetmanship or rus the medieval ukrainian state, we are talking about durability, but independence, in fact, in the 91st year, is the result of the struggle of our previous ancestors , who relied on the state tradition if we were a people that was formed, for example, at the end of the 70s, well, such a practically ethnic political community gathered as a people and we formed our own independence. this would be the first day, a marker day of the declaration. when it occurs to us, but even in this artificial case, it is not so easy all then, give me one more provocation. and whether ukrainians separated from the soviet union, of which there were quite a lot, i will not say

, the majority, the minority, there was a certain number, were not at that time a relatively new community or people, different from, for example diasporic ukrainians who have preserved some traditions and the diaspora is ukrainians who have preserved the tradition of statehood of the ukrainian people's republic absolutely however, we are talking about the fact that here and there there were people whose spine of memory was broken by famine and war in the 30s and 40s and it is clear that we need to treat and understand statehood i want to remind you when this moscow putsch began on august 19, 1991, who announced a political strike outside of kyiv donetsk miners here are all the myths about from russia and the like it was a little different. maksym, how do you view ukrainian independence in 1991? 11 august 24. it’s a happy coincidence that you agree with mr. oleksandr about that . no, because we had at that time uh. how did you

say the burden of the state budget? i agree that certain historical processes can have their own regularity, because as soon as we start talking about the providence of fate, we will go down the path of my favorite conspiracy theories and so on, but there are things that are connected and are a natural process and a consequence. german researcher of nationalism well, it is not there gel not to unravel andersen all these very famous there are such hans ultrah weller he has a publication about nationalism yes and he writes about the german national law germans by the way as a community and this well they were formed quite late yes i always say that they were very lucky because the german reich was proclaimed in the hall of mirrors of versailles, it is the same as if independent ukraine was proclaimed in the granavit and chamber in the kremlin, yes, it had such a symbolic meaning. but we know that in europe there are many nations were looking for this identity significantly later in 1918 the first austrian republic was called german called itself germans i am such a funny historical joke the great achievement of the austrians will convince the world that

hitler is german and mozart austria - only for them there were no such identities the second er hans oligavel after its establishment there are such concepts of nationalism, writes the elite, nationalism, nationalism, the years that produced meaning , united the community, and so on, and it seems to me that this is a big event that is now repeating itself, such a historical cycle the repetition is now changing, well, in ukraine , there was always an elite that pushed for independence in those times as well as in this one, so dissidents from the ukrainian identity stood there, now it has become massive, and then we got a chance from the elite, one of a certain circle of people who always fought , the diaspora, and so on to make this form of mass nationalism is another effect that i now felt on myself. this is a masterpiece effect . it seems to me that why some things in history happen with different degrees of intensity, there is such an effect in that search, yes, we we can say that i was setting up here while i was waiting on the air for 40 minutes. i was already tired. i had the urge to tell something like that, it happens the same way, you know, once again with the peoples

, there is such an effect when there is a certain delay in waiting , and here it seems to me that the ukrainians spent the strength test because after all, from the effect of fatigue, we moved on to the effect of actions and rebuilding ourselves, and this is the specificity of the ukrainian national that we wanted, wanted for a long time. here you are. here you have to fight for three, well, wait for a long period, the soviet enslavement of the ukrainian of the people of the establishment of the soviet union even at the level of the language, it is a beautiful publication larisa mesenko to talk about tvism and the rails of a whole car , i will try it is a very good publication and we were still not so tired that we were able to rebuild the state again, were there so many analogies in world history uh, with which you can compare such a long reading of your state, finally getting it, um, people, so many daughters , so many ukrainians have been waiting for a long time.

of the jewish people and the creation of israel, ukraine, the state of israel, and this age-old, age-old longing of the jewish people for the creation of their own state. in the 19th and 20th centuries, they will talk about the fact that the ukrainians are a stateless nation, they were beaten, beaten, they lived longingly under serfs, they walked and moaned under polish lords, under any lords. they wrote for us a history that is often spoken about and guided by it, let's see let's just see, the western ukrainian people's republic rose in 1918 at the expense of the popular masses of the revolution, not because the austro-hungarian emperor - the latter declared freedom to the people, and the nations in europe are crowns , and if we are to think today that from the 21st

century we can see how thousands of years ago some positions and historical things happened, you and i are wrong, because our mothers lived clearly differently than our grandmothers, and we want to see the same state with the same border, constitution, stamps, currency, money, international institutions in a thousand years ago, thousands of years ago, 500 years ago, the state is the monarch, and accordingly, all including theses that will talk about the creation of a nation. later, they are a little bit confused. because in reality, russia is our medieval state. we are not talking here about the fact that it was a community of one people and there were columns to the east to the north, but there was also some ethnicity, but rus is a dynasty, the dynasty of our kiev princes, respectively, when we talk about analogues, your question is, did we wait long, let's see, there was rus, then there was royal in russia, because what was bypassed through the usual scheme of the entry of the kingdom by female inheritance into other kingdoms, because

of the polish and lithuanian principalities, then our period of the cossacks, so even though we were also a political nation, in essence, common things, we elected their common king at the diets, not theirs, our common king, we chose our own common laws, then the cossack state and finally the cossack state disappears in 1782 and then begins a small period of 100 years of serfdom and decline, that is, our statehood in reality the decline of the son only in the 19th century is characteristic of all european states, when the empire begins overcoat and panel answering questions in principle there are no analogies, we were not in russia so we always had our own state, we were on our own land and so we had an identity no matter how we formed the circumstances of our life i understand correctly. please tell me the circumstances now, this is the last year. by the way, we are celebrating independence for the first time
