[000:00:00;00] they are worried about whether in the future there will be enough reserves of means for the ukrainian forces to counterattack effectively. well , let's say they liberated and de-occupied the territories , what was the resource for this? do they simply disagree with something specifically regarding this issue earlier russia clearly thought that bakhmut would be a trap for ukrainian troops we would throw all our reserves there as it turned out not to be the case after all i i want to remind you that here is this publication, which economist was last week, where there is a reference to the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, general zaluzhnyi, where he said that our reserves are being prepared abroad and there is strength, i think that such statements should calm some of our partners, oleksandr, thank you

very much oleksandr musienko, head of the center for military and legal research, we talked about the situation in the bakhmut region, in particular , thank you, thank you, and oscar, which outraged ukrainians , the film by canadian director daniel roer navalny won the academy award for best documentary 95. the award ceremony of the american academy of motion picture arts and sciences took place tonight in los angeles. the film navalny tells about the poisoning of alexei navalny by a novice, his treatment and his return to russia. of the tape, he declared that he was dedicating the film , as he said, to all the political prisoners of the world . at the same time, the film house of rocks, which tells about an orphanage in the east of ukraine, namely in lysychansk, also struggled awards in this category, but did not win. this picture is a joint production of ukraine, denmark, sweden, finland. and

it was the ukrainian director azad safarov, who worked on the film house of chips, who commented on the academy's decision. he said that the fact that navalny's film won the oscar shows that the russian propaganda works very well and knows how to promote pseudo-heroes where there are no heroes , this is literally a quote well, but the fact that the film about navalny won the oscar actually quite outraged ukrainians, including top officials it is clear to the masses. they recalled the comparison of crimea with a sandwich, the adviser to the head of the president's office, mykhailo podolyak, called the decision of the film academy politicized , and the fact that for the second year in a row the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, was given a speech at the ceremony, where he could once again remind a large audience pro-russian crimes in ukraine, and the main question is what is the basis of the decision of the academy of cinema, cinema or politics, if it is politics , then how should the decision of the academy be perceived and interpreted in ukraine before our broadcast

joins film producer television manager oleksandr rodnyansky oleksandr my congratulations my congratulations as well yes you have been and are a member of the american academy of motion picture arts and sciences for a long time. navalny and why can you explain because i like him very much and because i consider it important to support films that are protests against the totalitarian repressive regime of russia and it seems to me that the reaction of ukrainians and those who were outraged by this picture is based on the fact that most of them have never seen this film from the other side. they do not understand the reaction , precisely because of the motives that caused the support of this film by the entire professional community in this world, all over the world.

that this film won practically all the most important awards in this season in the world , it also won the award of the british film academy and many other prizes, that is , most people outside and outside the borders of ukraine and russia perceive the story of the mass as a history of repression of the totalitarian regime inside the country and war crimes in ukraine, for many people it is combined further, with your permission, i will also add that you are the director of the film, daniel royar, a canadian director, who made enough, enough , interesting, this film is such a real political thriller, follow, watch it is very interesting from the point of view of such a purely professional, he commands respect, he is a very famous director, the director of his previous film was the opening of the most powerful

and important film festival in the northern america in toronto and he actually quoted navalny when he received this award, he said that navalny is against russia's aggressive aggressive war of aggression, that it is waging it in ukraine, it is important, next is the film you mentioned. he is not ukrainian, he is a dachshund , and the director of this film was quite well -known danish cinematographer, director seling, and a person like ukrainians, whom you quoted, who calls himself a director, he works as an administrator. let's be more precise in terms of mentions, this film attracted a lot of attention, but the favorite the favorite was not the favorite, there was another film that won the venice festival and was called the olde beauty and

the bloods, and these two films actually argued with each other and most members of the academy supported the film about navalnoy because for them it is a film, as i said criticism of the repressive russian regime, and the reaction in ukraine strangely coincides with the reaction in russia, just as mykhailo podolyak , putin's press secretary peskov, said about the politicization of the oscars and said about an anti-russian film, moreover, today i in the morning after the broadcast of the ceremony, i looked at the academy’s twitter account and one of the first flowers was from one

of the pro-russian twitter users. with them and says no, it is pro-russian, i conclude by saying that this film is banned for viewing in russia, it was made , it was made, it was ordered by the best streaming platform in the world, hbo max and tv channels hbo showed on cnn the name of navalny, i remind you to mention it is impossible in russia, it is forbidden in the mass media, you practically cannot meet him, he is called by any name in any way, but by his last name, he is behind bars, where he is practically tortured, and this caused support of the entire film, first of all, considering its cinematic, first of all , quality features, and this made me want to support this film as a cinematographer

, but do you understand the indignation of the ukrainian audience because in ukraine even ordinary ukrainians and officials call the decision of the film academy a disgrace. this is a frank quote from politicians . the absolute majority of ukrainians believe that navalny is the same emperor . they said that no, he doesn't see it of course, these are the reactions of ukrainians, which i completely understand and emotionally share regarding the invasion, he is not my personal hero, i am him personally, well, you are quite critical of him, but today he is definitely an uncompromising leader of the russians

who, while behind bars, repeatedly condemned russian aggression and demanded to return to the borders of 1991, and i think that many ukrainians do not know this about the bulk or do not pay attention to it. they are not very interested in what is going on in ukraine during the bloody war. i understand, but on the other hand, it seems important to me to support those who may be in opposition to this regime and to the absolute majority of russians who support the war, and secondly, on the other hand , i'm sorry, but this is an american academy that already presents its awards for the 95th time, it has its own rules, its own regulations, its own laws . i think that the reaction of ukrainians is also a very important fact related to the fact that the academy denied president zelensky

the opportunity to speak during the ceremony, and this was connected with the decision of the members academy to award this film as i understand it and share it emotionally, i would be happy to see the president of ukraine addressing an audience of approximately 15 billion viewers. but did i understand correctly, that is , did i understand you correctly? that volodymyr zelensky, by the way, was not allowed to speak at the oscars for the second time, precisely because the film about navalny won the oscar, they did not want to put them on the same site. no, it is not related in any way, in general, no one knows which films receive the oscar. i saw 30 ceremonies on in four, and in four he participated as an oscar nominee , and i know for sure. believe me like none of the ukrainians, because none of the ukrainians has such experience that not a single

person from the members of the academy knows the winners , even the statuettes that are issued and they do not have inscription and further after the ceremony there is a long line of winners who want to make their inscription with their surnames to insist, i.e. no one knew the problem was different in the 95 years of the ceremony's existence, no politician who was not associated with a specific film was a winner or even a nominee, not a single american president no senator or congressman , not to mention the president in other countries , that's why all political events that take place at the protest ceremony are always related to specific films, if there was a powerful ukrainian film about president zelenskyi

it's the ukrainian one, don't give it to her, and not just about ukraine, about president zelenskyi or this bloody war of aggression that russia started and has been waging for 9 years, of course president zelenskyi would be able to speak, but now as far as i know i am not a lawyer of the academy , but i am a member of the academy, there are already many years and i roughly understand the logic of this organization , they do not want to create a precedent because next year several more politicians will be invited from other countries and maybe from america and president trump will want to to speak approximately well, let's say, therefore, i assume that this was logic. why did they deny president zelensky twice in a row the importance. well, to the members of the academy , then to the oscar audience, and navalny's victory is anti-russian from the russian point of view, then there

he mentions the oscar ceremony, condemns this decision of the academy and mentions double standards, and it is strange to me that ukrainians condemn the awarding of the same film with the same prize, but for completely different reasons, it happened oleksandr. i also watched my wife's speech navalny yulianavala, she also gave a short speech. she said that my husband is in prison only because he speaks the truth , that he is in prison only because he defends democracy, and from my point of view, it looked like such a political speech or with a political color and i will tell you honestly and frankly. i was surprised. maybe i had high expectations. i was surprised that she didn't say a word about the war in ukraine because, in the grand scheme of things, only the victory of ukraine can be a salvation to some extent

for her husband. it seemed to me that there was no understanding in the team and in the family and in the team who created this film. well, why one minute before that, less than 30 seconds before that , the director of the film, daniel royar, said about russia's war of aggression and that the political in among whom the film is dedicated to all political prisoners, i agree with you absolutely that ukraine can bring freedom en masse, and not only with its victory, but in general, i would say with its position. she can force them to exchange en masse for someone from russia of prisoners this can happen, but the performance was by the authors of the film and it consisted of two parts, the director daniel royer spoke and condemned

the aggression with the words of navalny and then the wife of navalny, who in my opinion does not speak english very well and just learned three sentences said literally and stay strong my love and all that you have just quoted, and before that the director, who spoke perfectly there in english, said that it was necessary to say, it was like that and everyone forgot about it, and by the way, i see that the russian bots are driving this very thing to me all the time, they are there russian bots are attacking and they write exactly this, that navalny's wife did not say anything about the war. she, in difficulty , uttered three sentences about what awaits his freedom and the freedom of russia. and from the authors

of the ukrainian film, it is not completely ukrainian, there was an eco-production with other countries, but there are objections that this is still a consequence of the fact that russian propaganda in hollywood is winning, how great is the russian pro-russian influence still kept on hollywood as the war changed hollywood's attitude towards russia in general i have never heard of russian influence on hollywood at all, it never existed and cannot be beat because there they know nothing at all except about russia today except that it is a repressive totalitarian regime hollywood is one of the most important ideas about the idea of ​​supporting ukraine, how many stars came to ukraine , how many heads of hollywood studios and streaming platforms spoke about

ukraine and supporting the ukrainian struggle people, no one, no personality exists in hollywood. well, maybe some freaks, that is, some crazy people who do not command any respect , could say something like what oliver stone did, who was paid money for through medvedchuk, against money for those documentaries made by a ukrainian who lives in los -angelesi but somehow he involved oliver stone there, no other hollywood , let alone an influential cinematographer who would support russia does not exist at all hollywood is one hundred percent pro-ukrainian there there are ukrainian flags everywhere everyone supports there and the words that there are pro-russian sentiments would surprise everyone who in hollywood did not attend the ceremony at all or watched it on television. believe me, i

disagree. i talk to my colleagues every day at work. everything is as they say in russia, definitely, generally, definitely , thank you very much for joining our broadcast oleksandr rodnyanskyi, film producer , television manager, we talked about this year's oscar, thank you, head of the committee for the taras national award of ukraine shevchenko yury makarov resigned from his position as the head of the committee. this happened against the background of the scandal surrounding the shevchenko prize itself, and here it probably makes sense to tell what and why. well, i will remind you first of all that the shevchenko prize is the most prestigious state art award in ukraine, which is awarded for a significant contribution to the development of culture, the winners are traditionally announced on march 9, on the birthday of taras shevchenko, but this year, for the first time in the history of the award on the birthday of taras shevchenko, the names of the laureates

were not made public, as well as the corresponding decree the president who actually announces the results well, this became a source of controversy for the scandal. people's deputy of ukraine, representative of the committee on humanitarian information policy, mykola knyazhytskyi, the absence of a presidential decree on awarding the shevchenko prize until march 9, was directly called a shame on march 10 by the chairman of the prize committee yuriy makarov , who announced today about the resignation with an explanation and said that they decided to supplement the nominations with an additional competition for a contribution to the victory and to announce all the laureates taken together not on march 9, but as traditionally on the 22nd may, on the day of kobzar's reburial, late in the evening on march 11, the committee named some of the names of the laureates among them. by the way, vitaliy portnikov, a journalist and columnist of radio svoboda . he received an award for his journalistic articles, speeches in recent years, but there is still no presidential decree. well, even today yuriy makarov announced his resignation stated that since it was his idea

to introduce a nomination for a contribution to the victory and postpone the announcement of the winners to may 22 , such proposals were not supported by the rest of the members of the shevchenko committee, and because of this, he submits to resign, the proposal arose almost impromptu, but during a meeting of cultural figures with the president of ukraine on march 9 of this year, she met his support . tribute to those artists who raise ukrainian culture to a fundamentally new level, involve in it our heroic soldiers and residents of liberated territories , promote the country in the world came across

aggressive misunderstanding, an active part of society is convinced that i am carrying out someone's order, working out, bending over and so on . for me, this is a new experience that i would not like to go through again. the philosopher and professor of the shevchenko national university joins the air , who is a watchman at the mohyla academy. my greetings. good evening. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. from your point of view, how likely is political interference in the work of the national award committee, what, as yuriy makarov says, could have been and could have been the cause of all these dissatisfactions on the part of the artists, and not only me, but i cannot evaluate it. i am not an employee of

the president's office, just as i am not a member of the jury that's why it's difficult for me to receive the shevchenko prize, it's not that it's difficult, i'm just not able. this is fine , but i 'm just asking. it was proposed to create another nomination there for the contribution to the victory and it seems that this is exactly what caused the committee members to quarrel. well, it surprises me because it seems to be at first glance. it is a completely technical issue to add another nomination to some award, and as far as i am concerned, it should be decided by the jury. there are separate rules and norms written there that i don't know either. and here are the awards or what documents are relevant in this situation? i am more concerned that again with a very powerful cultural institution, which

fortunately they have become at the moment, 6 awards are doing something again not good, with the suspicion of some conflicts there, with the suspicion of a conflict of interests, etc., because, well, i watched the development of the shevchenko prize in recent years , and i could happily say that finally this prize , which was completely conservative in the post-soviet period , was incomprehensible and turned into a prize that honors the best artists of the countries and let's say those people and projects who received almost all of what i know this year, at least in the field where i can act competently show do those people receive these awards

, that is, i am asking, please. it's so simple for people perhaps who have not followed the award for years, you note the transformation of the award in a positive direction, as well as of all cultural institutions after 2014, after the victory of the maidan and after the start of the war with russia, which and our cultural justice were the first to emerge, new cultural institutions were created by the state secondly, those old cultural institutions that were very far from us got closer to the actual artists of people who create cultural ukrainian and this was a positive process, and now we are observing some negative processes when some institutions are under attack some institutions their legitimacy and authority are undermined some disputes are starting within these institutions around these

institutions i am not a fan of spirological theories i just really would not like this to happen in our country we have an enemy we have a terrible terrible enemy the enemy of humanity is russia that kills destroys us physically , destroys our culture , destroys our churches , theaters, libraries, robs museum funds, kills artists in particular. to our land, and against the background of all this, some incomprehensible disputes are starting again within our community. i really don't like it. i really didn't want it . well, it seems to me that the awarding of shevchenko laureates was accompanied by certain scandals every year, maybe not as big as now, when the entire head of the committee is involved but there was also a place

for scandals. well, it’s hard for me to say again. i don’t follow all the awards, but too many state awards. i’m just happy when these awards are given to worthy artists who really deserve them and if in we have been and i hope there will be such a tool, if we do not forget the english award, in whose name it is, we are like taras shevchenko, the poets, the creator of our language, the literature of the native armed creators, the political nation of ukrainians, then if we have such a fantastic , powerful tool of consolidation, then we must use it as a tool for consolidation, and not a field for quarrels about relationships , etc. , it infuriates me. and here is such a question, so vaktant. and here is such a question

, too. i was outraged that for the first time in history, on march 9, on kobzar's birthday, the winners of the shevchenko prize were not announced. this had an important symbolic meaning, after all, they should not have deviated from this tradition and announced that nothing terrible had happened to bring it to may 22, as it is perceived in the circle of cultural figures to be honest, i haven't formed my opinion about it yet. it seems clear to me that this is a cool tradition, the right tradition, that this particular date should be announced. why was it postponed? i don't understand yet either, but again the postponement of the announcement of the award winners cannot be the reason for the destruction of the status of the legitimacy of the authority. i always have some kind of feeling and impression that

something is wrong here . leaders of society and our state well, because i call on everyone to stop these quarrels about which, with a beautiful award, which is finally really not awarded to worthy winners, but to see who received this work. at least from those whom i know, the personal creativity of whom i i know literature very well. there are no questions about journalism. that is, we have no objection to these people receiving this award. there were many conversations before. no, we are not against it. for example , there are accusations from representatives of the political opposition regarding the shevchenko prize that it was almost the government and

the president's office that somehow decided it. to one's advantage to fulfill and use this award well, yuri makarov also gave a certain explanation that he was also accused of this, which allow me to be so general. yes, i would say. unfortunately for the authorities, the political authorities, which should take care of other issues, defend the country from external aggression, instead of creating it whether they want it or not , create such an incident within society, and this also scares me, a writer, a philosopher and an artist, but just an ordinary citizen because the government should deal with other issues today and deal with security and defense etc. in a very professional manner if, against the background of the external aggression of the russian government, it cannot afford

the great prize and still interfere with something it's a bad sign, but again, i hope that our government is constantly learning . in 2019, she came unprepared for the tasks that are handed over to her. today , it seems to me that she has learned a lot. may god grant that this case of shevchenkovska's prize is also a lesson that it is not necessary to do so, we still need our strengths, what is cool about us, what promotes us, cultural countries should be used for their own benefit, and not created from this, it is not clear that when a bunch of people for some reason start around this quarrel i will never get involved in this and i would not like it my colleagues friends and writers succeed poets understand you thank
