some conclusion that it takes a lot of effort to be beautiful to create something like that in independent ukraine. all his faces learned about the frying pan for 500 hryvnias and bills or on every ukrainian knows at least a few aphorisms of the poet, one of them inspired a young artist from kremenchuk to paint a painting on a military theme, the root of this painting inspired me was the phrase of hryhoriy skovoroda for ukraine one must not die and you kill the light in me and i did not catch this most famous saying of skovoroda written at his request on the philosopher's grave he managed his own life and was somewhat strange in this his strength and attractiveness iryna skripachova oleksandr popenko tv channel espresso for this hour that's all news, the next issue will be at 12:00 , read more on our website espresso.tv, a summary of the main points on our telegram channel, news espresso.tv, the most interesting information and

well, what are we going to continue this marathon because it continues and andriy saichuk says to you, we say goodbye to you in the morning what else is the morning of the day, technically it's probably 11 in the morning for us, it's already a little late in the evening. well, but everything is still ahead, in fact a new day begins and next week a new week will be a new the year of this week on saturday is from saturday to sunday. if i am not mistaken, on the 31st, this means that according to the new calendar, there will actually be that malanka. and so you can calmly drive a goat and so on and so on and so on ukrainians will be ready for this and how will it be, uh, about calendars? we'll talk, but for starters, uh, well, by the way, let's talk with oleg turii, the director of the institute of church history and vice-rector of the ukrainian catholic university, he's already with us,

but oleg, i'd like to suggest and our viewers to view one a beautiful video that was shot in russia, this video was shot about europeans, i don't know if you've seen it about a christmas hamster and his short fate in one minute and about how russians see people living in european countries, so let's see collapse thing cradles angels sleep for us as a family the best in grief and the teacher of sikhs

and songs is gone well in a word i don't know i would say it's amazing whether or not russians in principle understand what christmas is and what the spirit of christmas is if they do well, i just don't know how to say it, it's such a desacralization of everything. we were just there. the end of this video is that a hamster was boiled in that pot and a girl is sitting and eating the tooth that was boiled for christmas . dad and dad asks mom questioningly,

what is zupka from ? yachkov ate well, that's not the point, the point is in the other, just the point, how much well how ugly it is to demonstrate, to shoot, and what they want to say in principle, i'm trying to understand, well, it's clear, that is, the message is simple, we turned off the gas, but today there was a statement from their minister, and the new one says that they say we can turn on the gas pipeline just now, for political reasons, we he was excluded, if he gets it back, we'll give you gas. well , in addition to all the political stuff, there are also some eh some eh stuff so moral or immoral that we wish you

evil so that everyone freezes so that you eat your pets and for all this to happen precisely on your christmas, which we hate and we are all the same to your god, we have some of our own . for some reason it was not shown to me on my screen, but the point is very good that you discussed it in such detail, i can imagine it, and the absurdity of this situation is not only that someone is trying, so to speak, to show their gloating or mock er, by those who found themselves in a difficult situation because of their own politics and aggression - and and aggression er, but here there are probably deeper reasons for

the disorder. in ukraine, at least in those regions where it has preserved the traces of this tradition , despite the persecution, we simply have to understand that in russia, so to speak , there is religiosity, and despite the juggling, you know, of such concepts as orthodox civilization and so on in fact, this civilization does not exist. well, the big question is whether there is a civilization in the modern sense at all, but we can't talk about religiosity because the connection between generations was interrupted, all the repressions and persecutions. precisely led to the fact that traditions as such did not exist, that they were rather storied and

very quickly weathered or replaced by some incredible, you know, mixture of everything, including some western influences, some kind of reconstruction of what they imagine, and all this is mixed with some kind of such orthodox in this double imperialism, this is, so to speak , the essence of what we have today and we must understand that religion in russia does not fulfill its proper function, especially in the face of -e of the orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate , that is, its spiritual function serves as a substitute for ideology. it simply took the place previously occupied by communist ideology. that's all you know yesterday, and actually president zelensky congratulated everyone christians of the western rite, merry christmas ah, in fact, this wording was picked up in particular by all the military

administrations, regional administrations, and everyone further congratulated them vertically downwards , ah, christians of the western rite, is this the correct name for christmas, well, watch it there is only one name for christmas. yes, it is the christmas of christ the savior, as confessors of all denominations recognize it, but the situation with the celebration of christmas is more complicated due to the fact that there are, firstly, different traditions of this celebration, and secondly, there are different ways er, calculation of dates and the same. we call them church calendars, and first of all, there is no single western rite. yes, there are several western, several eastern rites, if the first. well, among the western ones, the most famous is the latin one, but historically there were also other western rites in the eastern tradition we

also have the byzantine byzantine tradition and the armenian tradition and the ethiopian tradition and the kop tradition, i will not, so to speak, go into such far-off depths. of the western rite, perhaps because a large part, more precisely, even the majority of orthodox churches , which we call confessional orthodox, that is, which even belong to the byzantine tradition, they celebrate christmas precisely according to the new so-called style, or as they call it, the new julian calendar, which is practically identical to the gregorian calendar, to be introduced pope gregory, first of all in the latin church, but then this gregorian calendar was first accepted as a church calendar in protestant countries. and over time, it spread to the whole world as a civil as a civil calendar and that's why we have, as it were

, different er years, different scales and every time we try to adjust them somehow and every time we don't guess. because you know, there are always exceptions to every rule. that's why we in ukraine, well, we can talk about what is happening with the celebration of christmas to those who celebrate it according to the so-called new style, mr. oleg. and actually this year, the people who started celebrating christmas on the 25th, and actually on december 24, at least in my bubble in my on my facebook feed, and there was a parade of christmas eve tables of people in embroidered dresses and people just declared that this year we celebrate christmas on the 25th and christmas eve here on the 24th who said that and we will have it twice well, like two new years and now there will be two this year,

two christmases, and we will definitely move on to the next one, and this, uh, i myself was surprised how many people decided uh, that way, if we left before the church left, as someone rightly said, for the first time, the viburnum reform is coming from below. so when the church reacts, it will react ukrainian the church on that on people's desire to finally not be with russia without you yes without russians without light without that without that without that and without celebrating christmas together with you well look, i can answer this question so briefly but i will try to answer in two ways, well, first of all, what does everyone celebrate at least christians of the western and eastern tradition, with the exception of armenians, they celebrate december 25, yes, it is so, it is in the church calendars, it is just that the church calendar used by the orthodox in russia, ukraine, moldova, serbia, and in several other countries, it is

incorrect, that is, it was not corrected, it lags behind the astronomical one, and accordingly, this happens, so to speak, this happens, it lags, more precisely, this shift occurs, so in the dates and um, the paradox is precisely that in the church calendars, the date 25 is written on december 24-25 yes, but in fact, in our real life, it is the same in those years, which we use in our everyday lives , which western christians use . this if the problem was, well, you see, historically, it turned out that way, let's take even western ukraine, where these traditions were preserved the best and for the longest time, the very celebration of christmas according to the old style was a kind of sign that distinguished ukrainians from poles

, later the same tradition was preserved in the parishes in the diaspora, where they defended this old tradition for so long. if it helped preserve their own identity, but the fact is that the majority of both orthodox and greek catholics, well, let's say the absolute majority of ukrainians in the diaspora they celebrate christmas in a new style, i.e. on december 25 in ukraine, these efforts, at least in my bubble, to celebrate christmas, especially those people who you know are now very mobile, were very wary. if a person really lives a deep spiritual life, it is very difficult for him to switch to this almost two-week difference and pretend, so to speak, that you are fasting when everyone around is already celebrating the christmas of the

same savior who is the same for everyone in this, if there is the biggest paradox, the world has changed, you understand, and it has changed primarily for these two reasons, it has become a global e of our flower throughout the world and most ukrainians are probably outside the borders of ukraine. it is definitely celebrated on december 25 together with the majority of other christians. well, he appeared in ukraine there is also this political aspect, so that in conditions where russia is constantly trying to appeal to some common past, or fraternal nations, or some great culture, or something else, a natural instinctive the desire to move away from this deadly fraternal embrace, including due to the difference in the calendar, but i would say that this should not be the main motivation, so the main thing should be that from below, as you correctly said , awareness is growing
