591 and as it will always be. let all this bring a new year, we are ready to fight for it. that is why each of us is here, i am here, we are here, you are here, we are all here, we are all ukraine. glory to ukraine, happy new year. so we listened to the greetings of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky to all of us i want to congratulate you on the new year and i mean you dear tv viewers and you my dear and dear

colleagues happy new year well, let it be just a victorious one for us, we would really like it and we will do everything for it a-a now we will talk about cultural injuries are cultural achievements and a cultural surge are possible, but ukrainian culture has shown itself to the whole world or has become visible, finally it was noticed , it was seen, ah, ukrainian culture showed itself to ukrainians themselves, and ukrainian culture, in principle, also obviously created a miracle that many probably did not expect from it as the cultural elite as a culture as a phenomenon survived this uh, difficult, terrible, tragic , but also heroic year, let's see in the story, stable, good cinema, the times when ukraine submitted to the oscars just to submit have passed finally, we already have decent films, this is marina ergorbach's klondike, which has been constantly receiving prestigious awards throughout the year. the film

is about a husband and wife who live in the front-line zone. despite her pregnancy, irka is not going to leave. one of the shells destroyed the wall of the house, but this is no reason to leave it . to clean up and continue doing stunts for the winter, meanwhile, the plane of flight mh17 crashes nearby, the director considers her film not only an artistic but also a political statement from the beginning of the great the invasion of the importance of cultural diplomacy has incredibly increased this positioning of our country through art ukrainians call to suspend ties with russian culture , but at the same time it is necessary to offer something of their own kyiv symphony orchestra, for example, had a big tour of germany, they also performed in

france and spain at the nato summit in munich at a literary festival ukrainian writers spoke. and now also the military artem cheh and artem chay. as for serhiy zadanato, among the many and his activities, there was also a speech in the european parliament talking about how did the war affect ukrainian culture , it is clear that already on february 24, theaters, libraries, bookstores and galleries, art galleries stopped working in kharkiv , that is, kharkiv suddenly became a city of empty theaters, closed bookstores and libraries that have no readers. were cheerful and healthy well, by far one of the biggest events of ukrainian cultural

diplomacy was the concert notes from ukraine, which was held on december 4 in one of the most famous music venues in the world, karnygi gol in in new york, the presenters invited the actress vera farmiga and the director martin scorsese, which added a certain amount of media coverage to the event, and the dedicated concert was generous, more precisely, the centenary of its american premiere in the same carnegie hall, i won't even ask anything. and you yura said that martin scorsese a ukrainian also joked no, martin scorsese is not ukrainian, but there are many hollywood actors and actresses who did not even know that they were ukrainians or ukrainians or knew and did not attach much importance to it because there and ukraine, and suddenly after february 24, they all realized their ukrainianness and began

to help, and to be proud, and often it was even sincerely enough. it seems to me that the most striking example was kunis, who, even at the beginning of the war after 2014, said that everything after all, she doesn't really want to speak ukrainian either. she speaks russian, and in general, she only came to ukraine once after she left there as a child and she was not impressed at all. she got off the plane and the men asked me something. you feel skillful, she said no, absolutely nothing, and now we see how my laconist advocates ukraine really sincerely in numerous interviews. she does it very competently, she explains to the americans why it is necessary to help ukraine, and now she has changed her point of view, so e- you see, this is how cultural diplomacy works, in particular, and by the way, the image of our

president. i know that not all of our viewers like him, and in general, there is a long-standing attitude towards volodymyr zelensky, but we must admit that this role of his is extremely cinematic and it is extremely wordy, as he positions himself, as he positions ukraine, and of course he is a very attractive image. and in this story that we saw, it was talking about cultural diplomacy, precisely about tom. what a force that russia has always used very effectively. because culture, what is it? this is something unimportant here. we realized that it is the opposite. and now i am talking. you remembered the times of the ukrainian nationalist republic and why did we lose then because we did not push on many fronts because europe was silent and we were unconvincing in convincing europe, and then simon petliura decided that the europeans should

send a horkoshitz to the americans, because diplomacy, diplomacy, politics, politics, but when such a cool choir performs , of course, people should imitate ukraine if it has such a great culture, and indeed , this choir tours had a great success, but unfortunately, it was not possible to do it brightly enough and on a large enough scale, now it is possible and now we see this century of the performance of the generous man in the penalty goal by marfin scorsese, vera farmiga, it was all very, very, media and very cool, and that's why we're working on it now, and i want to talk about those people who are currently engaged in cultural diplomacy . what kind of cultural managers are they currently traveling to germany to

france to britain to the states and convincing people by listening 100-150 times and often stupid questions stupid lines they explain uh time after time why we don't really understand now pushkin, because they are asked oh pushkin, what did he do to you, what did pushkin do to you, they explain to you that not only that, but also tsnap, it is putin's own, those that it is not only putin's war, they explain what why do we want to cancel russian culture, but we also cannot say the word cancel fly because for the world community, she is dumb enough, we need to find something softer, we need to talk about what hurts us as if we don't feel anything, because we need to convince all these artists, the cannes festival, and so on and so on, we remember the oscars as at the island ceremony, they did not want to take

volodymyr zelenskyi's speech because they did not want to politicize this ceremony. although it has always been politicized, his speeches are at many other events , here, as we talked about, there was also volodymyr zelenskyi, but at zelensky that's why everything seems to be going very well in our country, we can offer tchaikovsky instead of tchaikovsky, as they tell us, now you also want us not to play tchaikovsky, then suggest one of your own, and our musicologists and musicians are coming and myroslav skoryk is also offered. actually, valentina salvestrov and many of our composers. and there are even some rankings of the top of our composers that we can position as ukrainian and gain some points. and the same within the country. i think you noticed that many of our musicians and artists repainted after february 24, it seems to me

that this is quite such a funny story , changed shoes, repainted some, i believe, some did it sincerely enough of course not, but all this shows a reaction to social processes societies change and are different, even opportunists of course want to please them and change themselves, at least superficially, but this still shows that they want to please the audience, which means the audience is changing. these are extremely important processes. i think they are positive, please develop the topic of cultural diplomacy, you had i mean the representatives of ukrainian culture, the representatives who speak the ukrainian language, who are of ukrainian origin, and thanks, of course, to them for what they do in the world, they tell the truth about what is happening in ukraine about the war that russia started on february 24, but what about the other culture of

western culture, how is it now reacting to all this? is there support from representatives of western culture for us? it is extremely large. although i still think that it is possible that you mean some works of art, so maybe some films are already being made there, in general, i wanted to say that there are documentaries that are being made in our country, but still it is important for us to speak for ourselves and not for someone to speak for us although these views are also important support us a lot and it is important for us because we have the opportunity to look at ourselves from the side because we see ourselves one by one and people who come there from france and see us in a completely different way and this is also important to understand and what do we look like we have a-and that's why, of course, well, there is extremely great interest, but what matters is

that we are now, if we are talking about films there, for example, and we have a lot of films released this year, which during the year participated in a-a top film festivals in the world and accordingly, our stories were seen as well directors, our film crews told our stories, too, and in the plot, too. we saw excerpts from the klondike movie, and i strongly advise many foreigners to watch this film. one wall is training, why does it start cleaning and it seems that this situation is absolutely not real, this cannot be, but we can remember how in the summer we complained that during the air alarm, people come out and start mowing lawns and this lawnmower scares us eh or now when during these air raids we

start to do some general cleaning eh and so on and so on. therefore, it is already part of some of our in the world because no one has such experience and of course it is interesting to watch us right now ah a question or alexander ukraine, in particular, artists from other countries manage to attract specific funding, specific grants, or even just to help materially with things for our armed forces of

ukraine . grants a- a and absolutely seriously to cooperate with foreign colleagues, having our own share of money uh, we will join forces with someone else there, with italians, with the french, we will do something of our own, ah, by the way, the movie ukraine was released at the box office italian, that is, the ukrainians together with the italians made the film cosa nostra with the vitov company and a wonderful comedy. of course , now a lot of money is allocated to support ukrainian artists from europe and the united states, and of course they use it, but still, many of our e- e people who are engaged in production, they stand on the fact that we should not just take money, grants that cannot be returned. and we should

position ourselves abroad as serious people, as people with whom it is profitable to cooperate it's profitable to make some kind of joint product that you can then earn money from not just to talk about ukraine, but to find some partners so that later together with them we can produce something and earn money, in particular, not only to spend it, i thank you, uh, we talked about some cultural phenomena maybe unexpected things, maybe waiting, but then in this case the culture has grown over this year. i think that our culture has grown stronger, it has become simply different and it is heard differently in the world, it is heard differently in us, but in ukraine, and now we will talk about ordinary ukrainians. by the way

, i don't like it the word well, it is not very clear to me, it’s just about the ukrainians we are, we all have no higher or lower, it’s just that we ukrainians are in this war, they are ukrainians, we all showed extraordinary strength, resilience, and the most important thing is humanity, love for which we have already spoken today and one of the thousands of these human stories. i think that they will all be told to someone, but this story will be told right now about how in the kyiv region the community turned a medical center into a real hospital. let 's take a look. bypassed this settlement. however, the war was very close in the neighboring villages, so the community became a reliable humanitarian rear, in particular, here local residents deployed a real multidisciplinary hospital on the basis of the medical center there were a lot of patients with shrapnel

wounds, also civilians and they were also severe , there were also those with somatic forms, which were singers, there were a lot of purulent lesions, there was a woman who practically had her own back, a very severe such injury, mine was administered for almost a month, a team of doctors gathered on a case-by-case basis, a doctor - a gynecologist with 27 years of experience who came to her native village on february 24, a local paramedic and nurses who work in the capital. trouble and here's how each of us made at least some contribution in order to get out of this trouble, to help people, local residents already brought here after two hours

bandages, non-material and alcohol, even mattresses and bed linen were here, that is, already everything was ready and in five rooms such small mobiles were created as rooms for the reception of the injured and medicines were brought from home by the local residents themselves and we started work here in a few days the medical center turned into a volunteer mental assistance hub drove volunteers brought us the catch, and the medical workers distributed it to the surrounding villages, the doctors came from the surrounding villages, collected help, and our workers also went out to provide them with help, my station worked in extreme conditions without water and electricity from the frame, they brought water if necessary, turned on the generator, washed the floor antiseptics and even created conditions for receiving patients suspected of

having covid. at the same time, doctors conducted tactical medicine classes for territorial defense volunteers and went to local home and four accepted 700 outpatients in a month and a half, if god forbid it happens again, so that other people do not say, i will do the same again, i will come here to another place where it will be necessary, already last year there was a rumor that in kyiv there were zakippitalov greate people, indeed, kyiv is the capital of great people, and i remember a story about great people, i think that well, all of ukraine is just that kyiv is the capital. of course, mrs. nataliya. i think that you know more than one story, but we saw and heard this story that is really impressive and who are you from your own view of these events to hear and see and how did you possibly see in a new way and discover ukrainians for yourself well, this story

struck me terribly, i am so a little tangential to it because the doctor in question is a good friend of mine and we have known each other for a very long time and i always knew about her high professionalism about such humaneness and because well, what can i say here, often the electricians can be professional, but they are so cold with us, they are such a symbiosis, and i was simply amazed when, well, actually one person with the help of several they simply saved the nurses. well, me there, this number is probably not appropriate at all, but they saved several lives, she is a non-specialist doctor, she even did it, she told me that it looks like they are performing a strip operation, she is there, uh, well, that is, she did do things that she should not have done at all, but as a result, they saved lives and she herself expressed this opinion about the fact that, in fact, in those first days, these are terrible, and ukraine relied on

such simple elders, such simple ones as we call uncles, and he was sick himself, he filled the old car every day with some necessary things or medicine and drove through russian checkpoint well, just putting his life in danger, he was told every time where are you , he says so girls, i went, that is, people are absolutely for me, just all of them, all of these, all of these months, these are our holy people. well, as they say, a person is happy only when she lives not only for herself and for someone, i think each of us has a bunch of such examples, in fact, and this war was to show despite all this horror, well, how did it highlight so many such feats? i call such people silent heroes because, well, they are never themselves. they first of all, they are never recognized as heroes, and this is one of my such shocks, this is such a-, well, such a new discovery of my own people. i think there is definitely an understanding that er, you know zelensky in the interview, er, when you asked about

that why didn't he announce the evacuation? he said that the people will fight for their families who are here, well then you can have a different attitude to this, but i'm just saying what the president said, but people also stayed, he says if people left, we would lose ukraine and in principle surely someone should go obviously, someone should have stayed because without such people, well, without these farmers who were partisans and helped somewhere in sumy oblast, chernihiv oblast, without a man who drove milk to chernihiv, saved chernivtsi, then, in my opinion , he was killed by the russians without this story that you probably told about indeed, they saved the ukrainians by staying and knowingly staying. it was the nucleus that saved the state, these feats, and what do you think is the city's opinion on this ? unconsciously, she offended people for these actions. i think that it is knowingly to say that. unconsciously, it is insulting these people and

humiliating them, because conscious goodness is exactly what is called patriotism, conscious goodness for someone there, for the village, for the neighbor. and in the end even for the country, it is as if we are always ashamed of this word, but it is precisely this simple patriotism that manifested itself so strongly and it showed how much we love our land and we simply will never give it to anyone, and everyone is simply related to this struggle and to this i'm contributing and i'm at this time. i'm not afraid at all. i urge everyone not to be afraid of pathetic words because we ourselves call them pathetic, but in fact it's very, very correct, such normal words . history that showed us ukrainians really in the war, what a great war. so when many people saw just the enemy near their house. because that's the enemy. there was a disease in the donbass in the crimea, but many did not see it. well, millions of ukrainians did not see them. i saw here that people went out somewhere in sumy region or

chernihiv region and saw tanks with the letters z well, just as a fact and er sergey i 'm asking you, i'm just a little different around me, i'm sure i'm familiar with you of course i know people who are directly involved in the creation of of military equipment, who are actually businessmen who understand what needs to be done and, er, new models of weapons, and it is necessary to preserve collectives, but many such people simply gathered people, managers gathered their enterprises, independently ensured their relocation to safer cities, in particular, there in lviv. under the lviv oblast , the ivano-frankivsk region was involved in the production of military equipment, and these are not state-owned enterprises, because, unfortunately, the situation that was connected with the creation of military equipment now remains vulnerable due to the fact that the state is much more inert and slow in these matters, and individual businessmen and you patriots actually did this work and now this equipment , in particular, also drones, is supplied to the

armed forces, the same was the case with bulletproof vests with helmets and clothes, that is, what was done by combining the capabilities of businessmen and people who understand that it must be done in which country and when i asked there the motive for such actions why are you there, you did it with your own money and did not wait for help from the state because it must be done quickly and it must be done almost as early as yesterday and when that's it one of the directors of the company has three children there, she says what he says so that i can explain to my children what i was doing at the time when my friends were there fighting at the front, that's what they say, or this phrase someone is fighting at the front and someone is doing it means that business somewhere in the back in the living room from the front, but it is no less important than sitting in the trenches, it is also an important component of our reality. well, it gives the ukrainians the opportunity to get through to the fullest. maximum effort, everyone is looking for the right

place to make this effort or to have the most effective, understandable result. it is because of such efforts, if you know. i want to turn to mr. natalia, for many people there are certain things of stability comfort and some kind of understandable life and television is actually such a thing for people and mrs. taliya has been talking about the weather on espresso for many years to people and they will also have to, it works, this is action, here you are, what is ms. natalya, she tells this too some kind of stability. and this year, ladies , what is said about the settlements of ukraine are interesting things, and i think that there are actually points that were affected by this war. why is it very important for you to talk about it, preserve it , tell it ? but why did you choose this topic for yourself. to talk about these settlements right now, how you choose them, is very interesting, according to what principle, well, it happened completely spontaneously, and i just thought, well, you know. each of us likes to

be praised or remembered. i already know from experience. if i happen to mention another village somewhere there, people are just so happy because they are just happy that they haven't been forgotten. and this is such a moment to show people that they haven't been forgotten, that it exists not only there let's say kyiv-lviv there, chernihiv there, well here are the capitals, there are regional centers or large cities, and show exactly eh. well, let's remember all the cities, towns, villages and villages, because there are also hamlets, even because, well, everyone fought and is still fighting, and that's how important it is, and when i started to remember these uh well, look for some materials there. of course, television time is limited, but as far as i'm concerned, i've discovered interesting moments for myself, and i'm even already setting myself such a salary that after the victory, i have to go there and there, and i suggested that everyone create such a list because well, the choice is obvious well because it's just incredibly interesting

, so many historical facts, and precisely in the context of world history, not only there. well, what's interesting to us is that everyone . er, vasyl , they asked you where your mother is from, the same where your father is from, with his friends, with his neighbors, and well, all of us are the majority . at least some of us are from some incredibly cute towns with luxurious ukrainian names, and even more so, villages, that is, the basis is the foundation and with this foundation, of course, you have to grow, live and be proud, i always say when i mention this every point, i always say that we will not give away ours, we are proud of ours and we will keep ours. i think that in general, domestic tourism should somehow explode after the war with new strength. well, maybe not immediately everyone is there because, first of all, ukraine is not yet the most mined country in europe. it is definitely not the most mined

country in the world, so serhii will definitely not give the world that reason. of course, now domestic tourism throughout ukraine will definitely be impossible well, the fact that there will be such a demand and interest, i think we remembered how i think it will be possible to publish some kind of guide, you know, where to go, there are some interesting interesting things. well, actually , we still have time, for sure, if lena, you are watching, you definitely want to ask a question can you tell me your story? you had an incredible one, too. well, not that it’s incredible, well, it’s similar to the experience of others, but your own is enough in this war. maybe you would also like to say about what surprised you and impressed the ukrainians. well, i had a happy experience. as it turned out well, honestly speaking, i am more surprised by some very small, seemingly unimportant, not heroic , not pathetic, yes moment, because they are the biggest example when people share their last meal there, for example, when

people ran out during the occupation, they threw away a pack of macaroni, and of course they will bring in a neighbor to share in fact it's uh-uh unbelievable because from some people, for example, i just didn't expect this. that is, did they call and ask how you were, people who i generally thought were there with enough floors, i'm familiar with them, that's why that's right. maybe if they talk about the lack of pathos, maybe they mean exactly such things that are almost everyday but extremely impressive that they have always impressed me the most. where there is a lot of this specific story and it indicated that it is really one of the main components of the fact that we continue to fight and go to our victory. these are the ukrainians. what kind of people, by the way, i think the americans also got the calculation when they counted how many days
