[000:00:00;00] and informed means armed, watch the project news of the economy with andrii yanitsky on weekdays at 8:10 on espresso. congratulations, my friends. oleksandr tkachenko's resignation from the post

of minister of culture and information policy was a real surprise for many people from the cultural community. his answer to the next one a petition that gathered the required number of votes and in general tkachenko was already supposed to resign because of this. earlier it was prophesied to him. and there were such rumors. in general, it is certain that mr. tkachenko is one of the most scandalous ministers. he is currently causing a lot of criticism. however, even the people who are his most desperate critics seem to have come to terms with the fact that he is like this and will remain in office

. let's first see what i how exactly did we come to the point that mr. oleksandr resigned and volodymyr zelensky in his video asked denys shmygelyaty himself, who saw no reason to look for a new candidate now, we will talk about possible price candidates and how they are discussed backstage in the cultural community , what are the various pitfalls there, and what should we do with the ministry of culture and, most importantly, with the funding of culture during the war, because there are many different conversations, in particular, those that we do not need. at the same time there is contrary opinions which, by the way, have been heard since the beginning of the war itself since 2014, that no, friends, it is precisely culture that we are now supposed to finance, so let's generally remember how this situation started, which we now know as this so-called serial scandal, the scandal surrounding the competition where the television companies won, which, well, had to make television content for you and me, in particular, and the new year

's comedy, all kinds of things. in social networks because it seems that the state money from the state budget is used somehow wrongly, for example, they move cobblestones or make some interchanges, buy drums, well, in the end, all this money, many people say , can still be used for the needs

of the military, because this is our main prerogative. but not for the war, but if we talk about this tv series, the budget for them was included in the state budget for 2023. therefore, it is more than 400 million hryvnias, and then you remember that all these detours took place around the coat of arms, which should be on the shield of the motherland, this story has been going on for a long time. private non-state well , surely that is not the biggest wave of disturbance left when people found out that more than uah 500 million had been allocated to the museum on the day of the holodomor museum, and of course it started here. and it started, as it seems to me, that most people started talking about the fact that it is not necessary to do it now. the voices of museum workers have been heard for a short time. in the end, not all museum workers spoke about the fact that it is appropriate, but it was mr. tkachenko who said that this is a very necessary project

, it must be completed because it is a national memory, because this museum is extremely important. it is an intersection. his idea and with with what is happening now and after the victory, it would be good if this museum already fully existed, functioned and was completed. and well, i want to say the following. what, for example, on the air of radio nv a-a, there was yaroslav yurchyshyn, a people's deputy from the voice faction and the voice faction voted. and this decision to allocate such an amount for the completion of the museum, but already in this broadcast, yurchyshyn said that after thinking about it, he realized that and this decision was short-sighted

. are engaged there er and other cultural issues, they believed and then realized that this decision was wrong, let's listen again, the arguments were given at that time, they seemed well -argued, in the end, to get er, let's say yes, and fail the resolution on commemorating the holodomor in the verkhovna rada. in and changes to the budget, well, that's it sometimes the director of the holodomor museum recently gave an interview to ukrainska pravda upa culture and there she said that she was very proud of hasyjak, her name is she said that she was very surprised

that even people who work in the field of culture, who should understand its importance, are still opposed to the completion of the holodomor museum, she compared it to this kind of sausage thinking, so when people think only about hmm something material, they do not think about history, about heritage, about culture, and she reminded in the end that culture is always fair our country unfortunately, they were not funded according to the residual principle, and now they say it continues. but let's listen to mrs. lesya, and this sausage psychology is preserved in most ukrainians, and unfortunately, even shelling with russian missiles does not change the psychology of ukrainians. here is a recent video with a young man in kharkiv who has ideas, listens to russian music, speaks russian and says that he does not care about the fact that half of kharkiv is no longer there. he is bombarded by russian missiles on he is not influenced by such

a person who will always talk about what would be better did something else, but did not invest money in culture. and it seems to me that the issue of cultural funding, of course, was always underdeveloped, we always had to work on it, but it was precisely in this situation with the tv series that i will remind you about now that we are talking about.

series received funding from state funding, it all started with the new year's musicians who pulled in uah 14 million, everyone started talking about them, and then it spilled over into the transparent sanatorium nezabudka, this is a series of several series, all, which is probably the very name of which . to meet her there settles in a sanatorium called nezabudka and meets there a cross-section of ukrainian society, various corrupt people, volunteers, deputies and so on, although you know, my colleague bohdan butkevich rightly remarked that where in the western region can there be a sanatorium called nezabudka, but in the end, probably the peak story that brought out literally

. the first is this is the budget, secondly to his varieties, yuriy gorbunov, a famous person, famous people usually attract more attention. well, also the plot of the series itself, more precisely. one of the characters whose name is a steam locomotive, all this takes place in the village of ingulets. for example, people's deputy volodymyr ariv was the first to draw attention to the fact that this could be the prototype of the well-known media character oleksandr povoroznyuk, who is also the president of the ingulets football club , that is, such coincidences, and an incredible catavassy happened, and people began to draw

parallels between the russian series bugs and this with a ukrainian series that they say is very similar there, the it people left kharkiv to the small town of ingulets in russia . he won with his production, and he believes that it is necessary to support the television industry. he believes that ukrainians need to watch ukrainian content, and he also believes that the budget is not as big as many people think, but in the end, i want to say that i talked to many people who are related to the series, they are uh. many of them tend to say that it is really more than the average because, in general, they are comedy series because they are cheaper than drama series and cost less . 000 and

therefore it is of course more, but let's go let's listen to mr. gorbunov, who complains about the fact that ukrainians, in his opinion, have started to watch more russian content . and one more thing, you know who is in the top 20 requests to ukrainians on youtube. interns with ivan okhlobystin . so that ukrainians googled our ukrainian series , not russian, well, here it is worth noting that the interns, which yuriy gorbunov is talking about, they went with separate ones on ukrainian television and on 1+1 they found a channel that was then headed by oleksandr tkachenko and sewed this series with okhlobystin after the start of the war, there was a lot of disruption, but the series still remained on the air, and i also want to say that

the last season of svaty was released literally for such literally in about two months before a full-scale invasion in december as well there was a lot of confusion around this, i want to say that i watched this series and it wasn't about ukraine at all, in principle there was russia with matryoshka dolls, balalaikas, buttermilk and the law, and the promotion of some kind of sexuality in the families of teenagers, and it was shown here on the same channel 1+1 with scandals. by the way, this series is quite successful

. ingulets, well, i won't forget before that new year's musicals, but let me remind you that of all the projects that have or have already had, i don't know how to get state funding, there are 53, even 52, because one of the participants refused to take money because she said that everything is too bureaucratic and she does not want to participate in it. that is, 52 projects were supposed to receive funding . as well as mr. hormedov about what the television industry needs i support, for example, absolutely in accordance with the fact that ukrainians should watch some ukrainian content that some may like, some may not like, but even those tv series are comedic, which many people call absolutely stupid. they have a commercial component, commercial success, high ratings , and that's why. well, for sure, if someone likes it, especially many people, it must exist, but the situation is still contradictory because now i'll tell

you why in just a minute, but here's the first question. really in the main issue is the transparency of this competition. we do not know who selected these winners. we were not told who was the selector. is there a final say? why did these projects pass and others did not? moreover, we know that people close to the government received funding . well, that's why

there are questions about closeness, i would like to know why these projects received funding, such as the company good morning distribution, there are also many films, er, co-produced by artem kolyubayev, there are projects of the 95th quarter, er, hmm, there is a project of the same gorbunov. also, we have been observing for a long time that quite a lot of money is allocated to television, we mean not only the telethon. quiet the evening that is broadcast on the tv channel, the house, which was worth more than 30 million hryvnias, we see the bayraktar-yus that the participants of the 95th quarter make, it is like a humorous program. i don’t know. they tell something about a news digest

in a funny way, in their opinion , in their opinion. that there is no money for movies, and therefore he advised filmmakers to look for them from various other sources outside the budget and somewhere abroad, and already in his statement well, not in his resignation statement, but in his post on the telegram channel about his resignation, he wrote on the contrary that culture should be financed by public funds, in particular, let's listen to him, private and budget funds during the war are no less important for culture than for drones, because culture is the shield of our identity and our borders. and this is my fundamental position against others, so

you know what i think under by culture, mr. tkachenko means exactly television content, which i repeat is financed by e-e and it is not the first time that television controlled by the authorities will receive a lot of money. there is outrage regarding, for example, the broadcasting of the freedom channel

in russian for russians. tv productions that have already, i don’t know whether or not, should be released after this scandal on the air of our tv channels until the end of the year and next year, the fact is that hmm narimana aliyev, the director, wrote on his instagram, it seems quite appropriate to me, that and why the large number of productions of these particular productions that they have produced for many years, why can’t it be shown on television now, probably because it was filmed in russian and with russian actors amy in the main roles and in fact, we are talking about some kind of neutral territory that is more similar to russia, because i will remind you that before the full-scale invasion, ukrainian producers of tv series content worked with russia, despite any criticism, they made series together with the russians. by the way, ukrainians watched these series on television . for example, with the stb channel, which

wanted to launch a series with a rail actor they replaced the face of a russian actor with the face of a ukrainian actor, but they found out about it. we also know, for example, the situation with the comedy series house of happiness, which was broadcast on the new channel and is currently filming the next season. seasons of this series on the broadcast went out and the audience didn't particularly mind this, now the new season is being filmed without galina bezruk, but still, well, we remember that

the producers of this television content were imprisoned under uh well, let's say it's not exactly patriotic content, we'll talk right here uh, in fact, mostly only uh comedies were filmed in ukrainian, because first of all, it's cheaper to shoot a comedy without partners in the form of russians, and secondly , we also have scandals that happened with one of the managers of 1+1, i forgot her name but she publicly said that the ukrainian language is not suitable for serious dramatic tv series, ah, it's ok with the ukrainian language, only if it's comedies, then it was discussed for a long time, and of course i understand that among people who, hm, in particular, like, if they now began to make this patriotic content, it is patriotic in many moments

. can and looks like of absolute heritage, and i want to remind you that we have many humorous series that, uh, i understand that there should be criticism of our society, we need to fall into the mountains of patriotism, we must definitely criticize some low, good moments in our society, this is all necessary to do irony, sarcasm in relation to ourselves, self-irony - this is all good, but for example, there is such a series as great uncles, in which there is a famous scene when vuyki people from the mountains come to kyiv and they do not they understand what a toilet is , for example, i think that it should be flushed there

garbage is thrown there, garbage is happening. so they tas is getting clogged. i think that this is a little more than self-irony. because such a series could have been filmed by some russian directors and producers with such a scene. well, what will happen in the end after all these scandals ? hmm, he was talking about the fact that this money from foreign donors is not allowed to use for war, but on thursday evening, volodymyr zelenskyi records his next video address, in which he really surprises many ukrainians, because he says that this contest really needs to be reformatted somehow, and he asked denys shmygel to replace oleksandr tkachenko with someone , let's listen, mr. president

. maximum state attention and therefore state resources should go to defense, it is an obvious thing, and every project that can be implemented at the expense of extra-budgetary resources must be implemented at the expense of extra-budgetary resources, and this applies to various spheres, in particular, the field of culture, museums, cultural centers , symbols

, tv shows, all this is important, but now other priorities find extra-budgetary funds. the prime minister to consider replacing the minister of culture and information policy of ukraine well, almost at the same time, not at the same time, but a little later, this statement of mr. tkachenko appears that he himself is leaving this position, we don't know what happened before, did mr. tkachenko bring a statement, did volodymyr zelenskyy record a video, but i still want to say what, for example, on radio svoboda a-a oleksandr tkachenko on this very day, thursday, he said that he is not going to resign and, after all, this is the european soli talent says what will happen to demand your resignation. what is your answer for cinema? it is about cinema, about spending money on cinema

. you are not going to resign. well, i will briefly remind you. friends, what they criticized oleksandr tkachenko for in general, and from the very beginning, when he became the minister of culture and information policy, he received a little bayonet because people did not understand why he was not a culture . and that's why they didn't understand what he was for culture, but the fact that he and information policy are just tangential here seems to me to be true, after the full-scale invasion, oleksandr tkachenko was accused of not preparing museums for evacuation, unfortunately, we lost a huge number of our cultural treasures, but it was the minister who spoke about the fact that museum workers on the ground acted against him and they wanted to even think about evacuating e for the national marathon, tkachenko is criticized for the fact that there is censorship, what in the national marathon

is too positive for a realistic picture build for the viewers and also about the pro-russian presenters who remained on these tv channels, oleksandr tkachenko stood up for them, they say they have changed their point of view, let's let the people work, also the situation with the dovzhenko center began with the fact that oleksandr tkachenko stood up for one of the contestants, whose name was oleksiy dushutin, he is russian, because the competition was held in 2021, and for the position of general director of the dovzhenko center, then olena honcharuk won and the second time, but one of the contestants is russian he connected via skype from canada and stated that he submitted a statement to ask. in his opinion, the competition was held unfairly, and oleksandr tkachenko supported him. that is why olena honcharuk became not the general director, but the acting general director. the ukrainian cultural fund is also actually one of the cultural institutions in ukraine

. oleksandr tkachenko delegated to e-e for example, oleksiy kiryushchenko is the director of the servant of the people, and he came from russia, he is of ukrainian origin, but he is a russian, and now, according to rumors, he has a great influence on the cultural life of ukraine in general, this one, but everyone kiryushchenko, but and now literally two minutes about who can become the successor or successor of oleksandr tkachenko, of course, there are always different rumors, but now they are absolutely what, god, they can put us even worse now, but listen, if the cultural community demanded the resignation of oleksandr tkachenko tkachenko has had to take advantage of this chance to propose someone for so long, i am not sure that these positions will be accepted, but in the end there is probably a more incredible rumor about natalka moseichuk, a tv presenter, but she herself denies it, but we will see. well, it seems that she can be guided by information policy. they talked about

the deputy minister of culture rostislav karandiev. he has been working in the ministry for 15 years and it seems easy to make him just an acting person . it works for me, but i am not sure that this option will pass , even oleksandr once considered it of the soviet union, but this decision would be scandalous enough, because he filmed a lot of propaganda content, but i think mr. oleksandr himself does not need all this fussing with the ministry 300 times, he is now building a career for himself, and he continues to build a producer. well, of course, the most positive positive candidate would be olesya ostrovska lyuta

. she is successful in scandals currently manages the artistic arsenal. she was once the first deputy of the minister of culture yevgeny nyshchuk, so i think that this candidacy will be received as positively as possible. although, of course, you will not envy mrs. olesya if she becomes the minister in this field, but i hope that she will manage again if she is appointed, well, let's keep an eye on the situation, and that's all. at night, not everything is good . in ukraine, at 5:00 p.m., a news release is brought to your attention on the espresso tv channel, in the studio, iryna koval welcomes all viewers to ukraine's accession to the north atlantic alliance and the grain corridor, these topics were discussed by president volodymyr zelenskyi and
