argumentatively, we have to give examples and we have to talk about what they can roughly understand and still cannot bypass such a topic. you are the author of the book invisible about people who have vadim . to hide at home, not to appear on the streets, why did i even talk about this, because our present shows that after the end of the war, there will be many, many people among us who passed the front and lost some part of their body. do you know the stories of those who fought for the acceptance and support of society and can you now give some advice to our society on how to remain humane and

grateful to those who protect us? which have interesting exteriors with uh somehow different ah long they really gave me the impression that i live in a certain bubble and because i was surrounded by people who were as tolerant as possible to people and other things skin color to lgbt representatives actually to people who simply differed in different ways. unfortunately, while researching this topic, i understood that this is not the case, and our society lacks a certain orderliness and various unpleasant situations that these people face, nevertheless, i i see a lot of potential in our country in general, both economic and military and cultural and , at the same time, social. i consider ukrainians to be good and empathetic by nature, and i understand that, most likely, we simply will not be left

of the choice er to be somehow different, she will not leave the choice to treat people somehow incorrectly, er, with certain special needs, because it will be engraved in us for a long time. this is how the collective memory we will associate these people er, not like people who certain differences as with the heroes who made this sacrifice in order for us to have independence and our future, that's why i'm sure that everything will be absolutely normal. i really hope that this war will teach our nation to be more tolerant of all people, whoever they are. well, one way or another, why with some reasons are used to consider well, not like that, not like that. we thank you for an interesting and topical conversation. it was a writer, the author of a column published by ukranian pravda , ivan

the event of a lack of light and heat, the state will take care , let's defeat the darkness together, the english town of kovel is no different today from many others and it is hard to imagine that its middle place was wiped off the face of the earth, and most of these buildings were rebuilt after the second world war, they survived the most powerful

air attack of the german luftwaffe when the whole night the city was destroyed by more than half a thousand airplanes it was after this attack that german propaganda invented the word coventry, it meant to destroy the city completely, as it happened in kovel. the bombardment beam from the air was still a new and frightening phenomenon. on november 14, 1940, the most difficult night in the history of the city, the bomber raids continued for a long time at 11 o'clock, the strikes disabled all communications, water supply, electricity , gas pipelines, telephone communications - this bombing went down in history as the coventry blitz. they bombed from a height of one and a half kilometers so that they were not hit by anti-aircraft strikes, so they did not aim and just flew across the city, dropping rows of bombs

to level kovel three to the ground. here in the war museum - one of these bombs rammed a residential building, followed by large shells and immediately flew these are much smaller and they caused the most damage, the german aviation dropped more than 30,000 such bombs, and the language thank you, did ordinary bombs work like that? german bombers dropped high-explosive substances that made holes in buildings and then there they threw incendiary bombs that caught fire and covered everything with fire, that is, very quickly everything in kovel went up in flames, the tour guide kate tells that the day after the blitz became black and not only metaphorically because of the numerous fires on november 15, it never dawned here, this is how kovel looked the next morning for those who survived that terrible at night, the attackers

of the destruction wrote one of the entire residents of lvivtek, tea, a woman named flo wrote to her friend after the raid, she is happy to report that we are all alive and well after the most terrible night of our lives 35,000 houses are unfit for habitation and i can't even imagine how many thousands of people died, in fact, many were saved because they went to spend the night in the surrounding villages, in addition, many people went to shelters, a simple woman saw the terrible destruction of her city and thought that the attack took many more lives than it actually was almost 600 people died that night. most of them were firefighters and rescuers. there were so many dead that they were buried in a mass grave. here is a photo of the mass funeral in kovel after the attack until this night

coventry has already survived 17 air attacks, but this raid was the first. when the germans deliberately went to the destruction of civilian objects and residential buildings, the goal of the luftwaffe was to destroy everything in the city, the city expert paul maddox tells us. he gives us a tour of the restored city. in 1940, the germans had an advantage in in the air and at first they visited british airfields near the counter, everything started in july. and when the air battle of britain did not go according to the german plan and more of their planes were shot down than british ones, they they changed their tactics in order to remove from the game factories that manufactured airplanes and other military products, and kovel, in this regard, was the first in the list of threats, one of the factories of the largest industrial

employer in kovelry at the time of the second world war, the city was the center of the country's automobile industry, dailer jaguar rover singer, a total of 143 large and small car factories had their workshops in the comments, all of them until the last switched to serving the military needs of britain, the reorientation of industry can be clearly seen in the transport museum, if you already have a car, then its it is easy to convert into a vehicle for the transportation of personnel , here they produced trucks and large vehicles. that is, it was not difficult to make them into armored vehicles. in addition, there were specialists in the manufacture of engines, you can see their variety around, and airplanes needed them. the germans tried to disable the aviation industry because they understood that britain gains air superiority however, the germans did not manage to break production,

all factories had underground bunkers, so people remained safe during attacks, many workshops were moved outside the city to the so-called shadow factories or to cause more damage to buildings than to metal machines, so already three weeks after the bombing, most factories returned to their previous capacities, and it was in this way that the organization became the driving force of the reconstruction of the city after the war. it was very successful in attracting patrons. he came to the automobile industry giants and said this is what i would like to do. could you give me money for this and often he said that some other competitor company had already given half the money, wasn't it always true but he then went to that other company and said that this tycoon had already given money and this scheme worked, he received money from kovel somehow at the end of the war in order to

develop a project for the city of the future, the immediate reconstruction committee was founded three weeks after the devastating night, it was headed by the automobile tycoon william roots, here are the projects as buildings in the city center were supposed to look like, this is the desk of the chief architect of coventry in the 40s, donald gibson, he was only 29 years old, he really believed in the idea that you can improve society if you improve the city space in particular he decided to divide coventry into different zones separately an area for trade separately for industry separately for residential but he also wanted to create open spaces for the sun and relaxation eleono is in love with the architecture of the coventries she is completing her doctoral thesis on the post-war renaissance says here you will not find pompous and majestic buildings which grew up in

many european cities after the war, the seventh will not see this bold european modernism, there are no blocks of high-rise buildings, buildings quite muffled, inconspicuous, this is a kind of regional modernism that was unique to post-war britain, there is a noticeable scandinavian influence here, in particular, low buildings out of respect for the horizon line, when there are only three spires shelters instead of victorian curls they wanted clean lines more than squares, rectangles, geometry in the 60s - this city looked very cool and very modern, even futuristic at that time, many ideas of the young architect gibson became innovative, they are used all over the world and to this day, shops on the first and second floors

connected by stairs and ramps, they are all protected from the rain, flowers, bushes and trees make it a very pleasant place. all deliveries are brought from the black entrance, and the central entrance on the sidewalk is only for visitors, this was invented in kovel, among other architectural inventions of gibson. for the first time in the world, a car can be parked on the roof of a building, the first public theater and the first market in the shape of a circle, despite the devastating consequences of the blitz and the emotional exhaustion of the population, the city government of kovel tri did everything possible to switch the attention of the locals from hopelessness and desolation to new opportunities that arose after the destruction, they say, finally there was a chance to modernize the medieval city whose streets

were already too narrow and populated, the city is broken, destroyed, but not conquered, today the new city rises from under the ruins of the luftwaffe, one of the most innovative innovations of the young architect, closed to automobile traffic among places so that people could enjoy shopping and walking, and in those days there was more traffic in covel than in any other city in britain, such a pedestrian center became the first in europe, as well as the inner ring road, to cross this ring road you need to use a bridge or an underpass, people do not i liked it very much and even now the city is looking for new ways of crossing to make it more convenient for pedestrians to get to the center, this is what happens with many things if you do something first in the world, other people see your mistakes and will repeat your idea in a slightly different way

. on the one hand, this square is a symbol of the ambition of the architects , and on the other hand, the mistakes that were made in chasing visas with innovations for ukrainians. and always tried to be ahead of fashion if you look at the ribs on this building they look like a motorcycle cylinder block but they were made by snakes so at first they looked nice and shiny but then they turned a weird greenish shade, but the architect experimented, they didn't want to make everything out of cement or brick . next year, these post-war buildings are going to be demolished, they will be replaced by high-rise buildings, although the majority of the place is somehow this central square is inviolable. these buildings are included in the list of architectural monuments and are protected by

the state. britain's monuments of post-war architecture and it is also known for its huge collection of street art, it is sculpture, mosaics, stained glass windows, they are here on every steps, it looks like a street lamp, in fact, an artu-bier is a symbol from the coat of arms of the city. and here is a monument just under your feet, you fold it over and it looks like a simple piece of cement. in fact, it is much more. it is probably one of the most important objects of post-war public art in kovel. a piece of the famous westmarlen shale, it symbolized the beginning of the reconstruction scheme that rises from the ashes, this is what kovel saw three after the german bombing of choreos khan, but this phoenix also has a practical application, this is a metal circle - it the measuring point was placed in the very

center of samisinka, the whole countdown to the surrounding buildings started from it. and this is one of the examples of how the spirits of the locals were raised after the war, the monument to the legendary residents of the three gudiev covens , everyone knows this story here, when a naked young lady came to the center of the city on a horse so that her husband could play reduced taxes for the peasants, it is still not known for sure whether this was really the case in the tenth century, but lady gudieva is a key figure in the history of kovelring, a symbol in this post-war period, they were looking for symbols with which the city could associate itself, because it was destroyed after the blitz. and a few meters from this statue there is another monument in honor of lady hudiva. for 70 years, there have been disputes about the appropriateness of such a comical clock on the main

square of the city, but it is one of the main tourist attractions through siri, she did not forget the same answer the seriousness of the lady monument suits gibson very much that there were objects of intrigue, artistic, but also familiar, so that they united the future and the past, it was symbolic that the old city is not simply forgotten and abandoned, but taken his with him into the future the combination of the past and the future is best seen here, it is probably the most famous place in kovel and the main attraction of the bombing of the ruins of the medieval st. michael's cathedral, it burned on that fateful night of the blitz during the reconstruction, church leaders insisted on leaving these ruins as a reminder of the horrors of war and

build a new cathedral nearby, this church became one of the first victims of an air attack, believers together with the abbot tried to put out the fire simply between the waves of bombing, but it was all in vain, all the incendiaries the shells melted the lead, the roof caught fire and fell, the walls remained almost intact, but nothing else inside survived, it was immediately obvious that after the war it would be rebuilt and at first they were going to recreate what was before the war in a kind of neo-gothic style, but the city authorities did not agree with this approach, they wanted a new building for a new era looking back now the cathedral is proud of its main mission of reconciliation of the nation, but now even here spiritual leaders understand that the war in ukraine is very different from the second svitova, on behalf of the ukrainians, i managed

to get an indulgence from the current abbot of the shepherdess, the predecessor in 1940 spoke about the fact that we need to give up revenge in our hearts and thoughts, but what he did not say is that we need to stop fighting, in fact, he said that we must continue this task rid the world of tyranny and evil, that is, he knew that it was necessary to win the war ukrainians are innocent victims of the aggressor and it is not your job to try to forgive them only god can forgive now it is very difficult to imagine how ukrainians can feel anything other than hatred for russians. gate, then your flash. the germans

get rid of the consequences of the work of their aviation. and not only labor force, but also money for construction came from germany. it was collected by local churches , schools and public organizations. our situation was much simpler in how long have we experienced devastation, but in order to achieve peace with germany, we did not have to make any concessions, and the situation in ukraine is now such that the achievement of peace requires negotiations. i completely understand the reluctance to negotiate with the aggressor the only thing that can be said to him is to go home and we will try not to hate you completely. the renaissance of mentri became symbolic not only for

great britain but also far beyond its borders. the most daring plans come to life, this level is so new and so different that people in different countries admired it and considered it a model of how new cities can be built at that time it really was new and modern, although looking at it now, far from everyone will think so, but imagine that it replaced the old medieval city, the car industry did not work, the industry went into decline after the boom in the late 70s, but now koven tri is gaining the status of a student city, there are three universities here and the population is growing looking back at the post-war reconstruction of aries three, obviously a lot could have been done differently better somewhere there was not enough money somewhere the details were not thought through but nevertheless kovel is an excellent example of how it is possible to give
