[000:00:00;00] creativity that is, it is not so much lyrics as songs , er, people like that fought for freedom. so when from the beginning when ukraine began to fight for independence, in fact, i had songs based on the poems of oleksandr oles, oh, not kvitneve, my people are in chains, my people are at home, their eyes are in sorrow his heart is in wounds and his life is in the mists, but it was more than 30 years ago, so it is clear that during this time , a lot of different songs were written, battle songs were written, indeed, there were lyrical songs, songs were written that were not even recorded, because song i hug you, mariupol, i wrote it, but i haven't recorded it yet, because the recording of songs requires funds, and now all possible funds go to donations, of course, and the song victory was written by the day of the independence of ukraine and i made a video , and i'm very pleased that now they are asking for a song

me to sing and sing in concerts, but besides that, for example, i wrote the song come back alive in 2014, they wrote the song kiss me goodbye because the war did not start on february 24 of this year, it started in 2014. these two songs resonate with each other. farewell in 2014, come back alive, in fact, in the spring of this year, when i wrote the song hug me goodbye, it was 2014 , i wrote it, recorded it just for the guitar, put it on e-e on my youtube channel and on the facebook page and literally two days later me a slide show has arrived, which was made by the soldiers. thank you to maria burmak, a bormat woman, for the song and the song, come back, lives on the front line and for my military colleagues, i sing here, for example. there is a brigade that comes on rotations. and literally now there will be several performances, but about these performances. as a rule, i speak after the fact not to say where i will be in the near future, this brigade is based and what brigade is on rotations , it will already happen, but the other day i will write on facebook and tell that uh, you actually

know how to sing to boys in the war about the war, it’s not so much that uh, i’m some songs i sing about love songs they know the sun is raining on us don't be afraid to live we are all going in a song they know once wrote a song a long time ago hope remains now everyone started listening to the song that was recorded for the e-e album of heroic songs by oleg skrypka gay on the mountain on makivka i her i sing it, i recorded it 10 years ago, and now for some reason she often plays it in supermarkets and shops, so uh, i sing what they want to sing together, the songs they know. well, kiss me goodbye and come back alive, this is me, uh, well, i sing in other concerts because i sing to the guys who are on the front lines , come back alive, and so we pray for it and we are so afraid to think, and this song is not only about a loved one, it is a song about all loved ones i have

a brother, for example, he is in the 43rd brigade he is an artilleryman at war, he is now in a military hospital. therefore, this is about everyone we are waiting for from the war , it is not only boys, because i have many girls who are also on the front lines recently. come back alive clips, a lot of photos of the heroes were used , that is, when the photos were taken, there are a lot of photos , first of all, which was taken by igor zakharenko, who is currently working as a well-known traveler, but who is currently working as a military correspondent, he i took a lot of portraits and i turned to him because i wanted to take portraits of the people he photographed. there are already people who are no longer alive, but when i made the video , the people were all alive . in addition, there are many musicians who went to defend ukraine. -th vitaliy kyrychenko good morning ukraine is coming back already little one wake up already little one this is taras kompanichenko - this is andrii khlyvnyuk this is foma and many, many people i know these are

people who are absolutely not of military professions this is artem cheh the writer this is artem polizhaka the poet this is ion zenkov, the video director is misha panchyshyn, who was the winner of the talent show, and my brother is also there, and valery fedorovych is there, and i, after the fact, know everyone who is yurchenko, by the way . i wrote that i took my or your photo there, was it good or was it possible , and i also wrote to valery fedorovych, and he wrote that it was possible, and for me it is not an honor. the song, but i don't know, maybe someone in the audience didn't hear it, let's play it for him come on, all the songs that i write - they are written to the guitar and this song. well, i was wrong and cried because when you write , you don't think. now i'm going to write a song about that, that, those are the words that just break my heart

so that to be told where my soul is, there are battles going on, we will not give up my native land where is my land, my heart is there, i, he, you, we will not give up , bring me back alive, i pray to you, only god, how i love you, where you are, now there is only war and you, me come back alive, the voices of relatives are crying and close to the worlds, the war scattered them, they

are crucifying us, but the moment stands still, but i pray come back alive, i pray to you, only god knows how much i love you, where you are, now only the war is going on, but i pray, come back alive, ukraine is all one, not a fist, and it is important to us. victory is a sign . hey, in the battle ahead, an angel will protect you. embrace your wings, come back alive. and i pray to you

love how i love you where you are now there is only war we are going but i want you come back alive come back hello i am begging you only god knows how i love you where you are now there is only war go but i am begging you come back alive you know i think this song is just a hymn you know it in recent months these are the words that are actually a prayer, this is what we say and what you know, there are a lot of close friends on the front lines, you said about my girlfriend's son, this is a novel, raushnyi is the son of svitlana povalyaeva, taras raushnyi, i remember how this child was born, we worked in television and these people worked with me, i remember how roman was born, i uh, i remember artemia demid, every guy, every person , uh, this is a person in the heart, and uh, when i say my prayer in my own words, even then i ask you

to come back alive about of all when my brother was on he's on the front line, vitaliy, it hurts, but thank god he's alive for everyone dmytro linartovych actor we now saw that he was wounded and i just when i pray i say come back alive and so about every son brother father it is a terrible war, we are losing beautiful people, and this is possibly the most terrible thing that is happening now, because the victory will be sooner or later, you know that i am, it is clear that i am an optimist , i do everything possible, that it depends on me to bring this victory closer, i collect funds, i record songs, well, that is, i i help as i can i am helping the military hospital, everything that can be done, i can do something, i am doing even more , it seems that i am not doing enough, i think that all the volunteers are victory, i do not know when, but it will be because good must defeat evil, and it is terribly painful to understand that so many people

gave their lives for this they won't see our probable future victory, that's why it's all work, that's why it's all volunteering, and that's why, uh, now this year, you know, he took away some kind of layering of fake show business because these are all some fake uh cardboard values ​​and you just ho - you want well, i always do i tried not to give up. it seems to me that now everyone is trying to be and not to give up. yes, but there is. unfortunately, we talked about a song that really has a soul in it and it is for them. ukrainian, where there are too many, as i think, too many swear words, guys, we need girls to sing with matyuks , eh, yes, is it necessary to do that? you know, i won’t be

a moralizer here, i’ll tell you why. because i, i can’t use vocabulary aimlessly. serhiy zhadan he was my father, he taught and he often took us as guests, and dad he brought viktor pavlovych's book about the war and reconstruction there to all his friends and mariyka for their innateness i won't say this word, let's say it's rudeness or recklessness but it was said that way and dad sometimes says it's not about you, i say no, dad, it's not about me, but my father, he was a historian, and he didn't really understand when you say, why are there only so many mothers here, but you know, times are hard now everyone expresses themselves as i can after all, i think that uh, well, first of all, you don't need to worry about the hype , you know, we don't know, let it always be on everything, people write about what surrounds them, we are not, we are not the measure of sincerity, who is sincere and who is not sincere, of course people

they live in a war, they write about the war, for some it is sincere, for some we understand that it may not be sincere, but i will not give ratings because someone can , it seems to me that it is not so much that it is not from the heart, but a hype person does not think so, i will not like anything well, now the modern boys and girls who shot in the last year young people that i had never heard of before, but now they are in the top. do you like any of the modern ukrainian pop songs from the songs that i heard that impressed me from the musicians, maybe it doesn't seem very young to you, but arsen mirzoyan without restrictions eh band fiolet eh yurko yurchenko writes very cool, in fact, you can watch it on youtube, er, more, er, er, well, you want to say there from the generation of young jericho , just fantastic songs about what she feels and lives such projects, young how is it then, a very, very young guy - this is the tik-tok hero golubenko denys golubenko from vinnytsia. he's like that right now. i listen to it all and i really like

it. dima recorded a very cool song, it's lyrical , but you know even lyrical songs, we understand that it's being written now during the war, that's why uh, that's all i listen to, what i like and what i note, and those people who hyped like that , they've always hyped up, now they're hyped, they 're not in my playlist, there's something in my playlist that's really my heart, yes. what do you think ? now we already on the way to overcome to eradicate the remnants of the russian soviet e-e culture in ukraine, yes, which has been imposed on us for years, young artists, they can, well, kill all those whom we are used to seeing on billboards. it is still necessary to wait in order to move away from the concept imposed on us that one nation and so on. well, in fact, the struggle goes

on for centuries and centuries. parallels and when my father was still alive, he has been gone since the 16th year, he said that there would be a big war because the empire would not let go of the countries that it had already conquered, so i understood what it would be, i also understood if you listen to my interviews and that what i wrote well, it wasn't popular and only a few people understood that and show business , pop music is a sovpover, it's that light power that conquers the mind, conquers, had to conquer hearts, in fact, philip kirkorov and baskov, they were on our earth for that, so that later people which well, there is more mass of those who are not, those who are there they ask themselves the question and those who listen to mass culture, so that they meet with flowers as relatives of these people, it was done specially and everything was thrown into huge funds and it tried and tried

to receive ukrainian performers in moscow to show that this is one people this it was clear that it would be like this, you just had to be able to think and read and draw historical parallels , it was so what is happening now, now this understanding comes with blood with pain and in fact so much with pain with uh, with such a frequency that the eyes are uprooted and removed monuments to pushkin and tchaikovsky, for example, even though tchaikovsky supposedly what does he have to do with this and or russian ballet , and what does he have to do with it, because it is the legitimization of the great russian culture. it can be said that in general great russian culture did not cope with this task because what the russian military is doing goes beyond the boundaries of humanism and civilization in general, so it may be possible to return to this someday

you know how uh to people who wrote works in the times of hitler's germany but art is not just art why art is needed to awaken the soul in a person and we will see a huge country that listened to morgenstern listen to these texts in general well, he he may have said something there. but listen, listen to these texts, these are immoral texts, they are more terrible in our country, they listened to it, you understand, a person who thinks like an animal , whose soul is corrupted, she has no values , she does not think in terms of christian values ​​or, er, principles, she thinks because it was imposed, and then it turns out that a person can kill other people, for example. but what did this culture do, so again, you know. we also cannot say that show business is an ideal mass culture, but we had such and there are people who are at least some kind of moral authority, that is, they still broke through this mass wall

of some kind of cheapness and cheapness of the soul, and there these voices were not heard , obviously that's why it actually happened. er, the more they stick at us, the more our people like them hates, you said that you knew about that, that you studied history, you knew that there would be a big war, that is, february 24 was not a surprise for you , well, first of all, february 24 was a surprise for everyone that started with the bombing. i will tell you what i had planned for this year project e-e i made such a project favorite classics from shevchenko to stus e this project e-e there were concerts at leading universities in 2001 in kharkiv we are alma mater in vinnytsia stus university e in zhytomyr in lviv in eye and on this year, a project of favorite classics was planned for our defenders that is, there was already an agreement by the national guard that these would be held in the military

units, in the universities, in the educational units, there were such concerts. that is, these are songs with musicians, i played, sang, i wrote these songs and told the story of our classics, but not what they teach at school, what do you know? i found pearls somewhere, something interesting, and the letter was signed by oleg duk from the minister of defense for cyber ​​security and anna malyar. i was at a meeting with them to support this project because it is necessary because our soldiers protect our territories our people but our history and our culture, and we talked about the fact that an attack was possible, but no one thought that it would be so brutal . that is, it is possible to bomb civilian houses in the 21st century. that there will be a full-scale invasion, before that, all the warnings , the development in general, what happened, that is, i understood what it would be. i

bought a sledgehammer in january of last year and an ax to chop firewood, my friends said that what would you do if there was a war, but it was clear that putin would not stop from the 14th year, but even before that independence was de jure but it was not de facto all economic ties cultural ties political ties russia she felt at home and sooner or later she would like it, she wanted it back, that is, historically , it was very often, so it was felt that sooner or later it would happen, and this is how volunteering began, and how did full-scale volunteering begin? well , you are a lot of volunteers, and besides what do you sing and give charity concerts? what do you do? here we have a photo here, it's the revive fund , what's the correct name of it, look at it, in fact, it's a lot of volunteer activities , it's different, it's been fishing with the sweetness of cream since

the beginning of the war, that is, i've done a lot of cooking borscht, teroborony, this is volunteering. of course, yes well, i just cooked it at home in the kitchen, i brought it out. i fed them like this in a few times. singing the anthem from the window, volunteering, i just sang for the children to sing, too, volunteering, uh, in our district, we uh, there was such an initiative in the first month of the war older people do not they went down to the shelter and didn’t even open the door and didn’t go for medicine. my popularity played like a king. they just know me and that’s why they open the door for me . that’s why they bought medicine, food and distributed it to pensioners and old people. i was invited to poland to help the foundation of the humanitarian aid center, that is, it is also logistics , it is not, don’t sing, it is eh, they send cargo to me and people find this humanitarian aid through me, trust, yes, the question of trust was broken

similarities ukraine is absolutely fantastic fund in america and in december i was with concerts together with taras chuy and about $100,000 was collected, minus the expenses, that is, clean because it is very important because you know sometimes they organize concerts of musicians and the expenses for they watch $10,000 for the scene, and then they spent more than this situation, this is the fund that collects for the prosthetics of our fighters, and here are these fighters who came with us, here is iryna vashchuk, the head of the fund, you see me, borys kharchuk, a hero of ukraine and a national hero the hero from zhytomyr is people who are without an arm without two legs without a leg and this is the money for their prosthetics, that is, minus the expenses of $100,000. we gathered at these concerts, there were also auctions, and even with us, these guys were prosthetics, because bionic prostheses are made without being present. they come , and it brings tears to your eyes when you see that in three days

, the prosthesis has already been put to the test. she starts walking. that is, this it was in december, it was a fundraiser in october, there was a trip to edmonton, the invitation was a few years ago, but then the lockdown started, the war started and so i arrived in four days, there were six concerts, and we collected funds, and these funds were transferred to the military hospital through the charity fund around er there for the project of expanding the reception department, and that's why now , for example, my friends in prague have collected funds. i will also transfer them to iryn's volunteers soloshenko military hospital, that is, you know, volunteering, it can be done in different ways, someone weaves nets, it is important, someone sorts things, humanitarian aid, someone delivers ruslan horovy, for example, this is the husband of lyudmila horova, who wrote her eyes to you the writer ruslan horovy, he just drives around the kyiv region, er, help, that is, everyone does what he can, i do this in

america, in canada there were also poland, germany , yes and there who comes to concerts, you say six concerts in 4 days. that's a lot of people i love it. who are these people? for example, this example is six concerts in 4 days. for example, i had two concerts. one performance is the ukrainian diaspora. these are songs with a guitar. songs they know. these are folk songs. you know, i can do it myself. a full-fledged concert of various songs with a guitar songs now minus the instrumental because musicians are difficult to carry with you now, but they still wrote a lot of songs for children in the franka theater, a performance is going on. mom said no to my children's songs and i was invited to sing for children and there were four concerts in schools, these are the first grades in edmonton, for example western canada is in a school where there were two or three ukrainian children, 200 to 250 children each, and these are all children, they are in the gym in a small combination with a guitar and i am at a concert . that is, these are concerts for children, but these are 200-300

children who were sheltered by one or another school yes for example, in germany, in ireland, a ukrainian school near nuremberg, i came up with a play about st. nicholas , and we staged this play there in prague, as well as st. nicholas in europe, st. nicholas comes to us on the 19th, and here to the catholics on the 6th, that is, on the 5th. st. nicholas for children, because children ask, and mykolaiv why he comes from the 6th and not the fifth and not the 19th of our refugees, a lot of children ask, and mykolaiv will find me in prague or in munich or somewhere there. there are many children , it's really cool that they respond to them ukrainian songs. it's very tight in schools, for example, especially there. i remember this case when a little boy approaches in canada and says a m kg, that is, our children study with canadian children, ours with german children and they somehow communicate and they like it, they sing together and the children approach a

i'm note ukrainian i canadian boy i say i thank you for being friends with ukrainian children you sang songs i saw it thank you because you know for adults for children someone remembers the 89th year of the songs that i sang there 30 years ago and someone will start singing just now children's song and there is a song that resonates with foreigners or not at concerts abroad, what is the most interesting for them, let's say you know if we talk about now we were talking about children's songs, i'll sing you a song by pavel tychyna's poem that resonates absolutely everyone, well, in the second, it is also my ruhanka , for example. let's sing the ruhanka when i'm at home. you've been looking out the window for a long time , what to do

. hands up hands down stretch your arms stretch your arms to your sides turn your arms to your sides turn left right bend left right bend your head i leave my head around china and hands wave and wave hands with us the world is moving with us the world is moving hello to you all at the end and everyone in the morning but also every day like this there are a lot of videos of ruhanka, where children in schools just spread out, but ruhanka is made under ruhanka. believe me, there are no indifferent ruhanka, and i like it, all ukrainian-speaking children are foreign, and they are not foreign, but children from those countries. they study in the ukrainian language because it gives them optimism, so actually, i will tell you that these children's songs are for soldiers and

a hairy spider. you can be a dog, you can be a cat , everyone just does it with such gusto, and for a moment everyone feels like children, singing about the front with such positive emotions well, you know, it doesn't hurt that much, that's why i sing such songs at big concerts. and when i already meet with the military, the children go to ora, that's why we have a different mood with the russian troops. because our boys here they listen to such cheerful songs at the front, and they listen to batyan and kombat, but we will be about them, the victory that will soon be, what will it be , how do you see it, and what will you see later, not just ukraine, but why give us the music of our variety show, what will it be like after victory is a very bloody and very painful lesson. we don’t know how things will turn out. you and i don’t even know if we will be alive at this moment, that is, now such things are happening, terrible explosions yesterday, for example , yes, that is, how many people died who

ate apples since the evening. we saw this kitchen and then them it's gone that's why uh-uh now everything is for victory and as it will be uh-uh we will appreciate what we have and literally one verse that is, i have already said everything in this song our weapon of truth is strength will honor fire take out our weapon strength faith that the leader puts on the banners each of us goes to battle to be forever loyal to us we need victory in a free world victory honor and glory victory blood and pain for the strength of our state we learned in the struggle let it be against the crash and the hordes
