[000:00:00;00] this is a russian tank that stupidly drove onto my land and just started shooting right and left and killing people, that means it is my enemy automatically and at that moment it was the first step towards that , because the azov guys who remained were demanding the combat path so to speak in the unoccupied territories , they began to create a unit called ssuva , and they were created in kiev, in kharkiv, in other cities. it was very difficult for the azov troops to form in the units, one of the commanders of the poltava units told me that a new azov unit is being recruited in kyiv, people are trying to go there and

talk , maybe you will be hired. i went to kyiv , i went to the azov recruiting center, i came there to them, i told them that everything is possible. the third separate assault brigade, a unit of the commandant's platoon, this is the security of the headquarters, the security, the security of the azov command, that is, thanks to my skills and knowledge. they said that your knowledge may be needed here to teach the boys there, and so on, and i already served officially, but after some time this is the headquarters - this is the rear, uh, i still wanted to go to war, i would like to feel it, see it, because that's what i told the commanders at the time, who is an instructor without combat experience of such

a small company, uh, they told our commander that we want, well, s- get on at that time, the third separate assault brigade went to the war, as it is to this day , it was located in the direction of bakhmut. at that time, the battles for bakhmut were still going on. when the enemy was still approaching it, that is, our guys were defending it. but we understood that we were going to die because we want to do something for our country and for our nation because our guys are worse than us there and we got together and went to the donetsk region. we came to the donetsk region and agreed with the commanders that we would just officially translated we were transferred to the combat unit as part of the second assault battalion, and the third separate storm brigade, and as part of the second assault battalion, we already began to carry out combat tasks in the bahamian

direction, and from that time on, so to speak , a full-fledged combat began . you actually know my path in azov regardless of who you are, you should still be a universal soldier, if you are a natomidnik , you should still be able to drive a car, be able to shoot a machine gun, be able to bleed artillery, control a uav, that is, regardless on the fact that you have some kind of position written on the bbcazov, the soldiers are so versatile that they know how all of us, the boys, when we were on offensive operations, already worked in pairs , that is, a group of uh, four groups goes, or five a-ah, two people go offensive operations and we have to our task is to be there 100 by 200 m behind the assault actions, that is, wounded, killed, we flew

in, took him out and evacuated him there, if necessary , stabilized a-ah and at the moment when we when i with my second number a-ah my second the number was not needed daniil eh with the call sign kremin lived in the city of kremenchuk, that is, roughly speaking , my fellow countryman, we were together with him and served in kyiv . who are you going with and it was very important because when we were looking ahead and ahead , well, there was a battle ahead, it was fire, shots, uh , there are many shell explosions from there, many wounded are running towards us without limbs, there are crawling and we are going there and we understood that we were going to hell itself but we trusted each other and we will say so we accepted this first fight quite easily easily because we trusted each other we covered

each other and it was ok let's say so morally psychologically we were ready for this because during the fight i say you will hear an explosion there may be stupor, fear, vomiting, some other unpredictable reaction of the body when you see a wounded person, when you see a killed person , that is, there may also be some unpleasant reaction that will again distract you from your task at that moment, we felt very good despite the fact that we were actually walking over corpses in the literal sense of the word, because we were already walking along freshly recaptured russian positions and the number of russian killed was very huge. we happened to be between ours and theirs, that is, in the middle, that is, we should be behind our stormtroopers and we were in front of them, and it turned out that we joined the battle with eh with the russian troops, just

the two of us, and began to retreat across the open area. when we retreated, we simply saw that there were some trenches, there were some of our soldiers, we immediately go to them because it was the nearest shelter and we jump all the trenches, we understand that this is exactly the place that we needed, we jump in and there are two wounded, seriously wounded, one with an injury to the pelvic organs and the other with a wound to the chest and of course, at that moment, for the first time in my life, i used my knowledge of medicine, and explosions whistled overhead constantly. we we provided help and at that time, we did everything in our power, but they could not

evacuate us due to the fact that we were located at the very last in the most extreme position at ground zero during the assault and we simply could not stick our heads out because we were just in the palm of the hand of the enemy troops. we pulled out the first wounded man and took him away. we pulled out the second wounded man and took him away . despite the fact that we were running in an open area without any protection and fire cover at all, we just relied on luck because in reality war considered it терея believe that knowledge and preparation are all only 50%. but everything else. it's really luck, because how can you be insured against the fact that some projectile will fly at you right now, that's random. it's just no way, or the track is crazy , and there were far from crazy bullets aimed at us , and at that moment we evacuated two wounded

but during the evacuation, my second number lost the walkie-talkie on the way , called the allied troops who were nearby and said carry the wounded further and i will return back and find a walkie-talkie because without a walkie-talkie we are out of touch if we are without communication, well, that is, the coordination of actions will already fail , we will not understand what to do. i told my number two to evacuate the wounded further because there was really critical bleeding, and i turned back alone and ran back again everything burned through the meat grinder and ran. looking at the ground, i didn't care what was happening around me and looked at the ground and looked for this walkie-talkie, where is it? they didn't see it

i said that then i will sit with you. and after some time, i heard on their walkie-talkie that in front of us, our guys captured another person , a russian cop, destroyed the troops, but at the same moment there was a direct arrival of artillery there and all of ours were destroyed at once, and i was ours. i tell the guys there are probably already wounded, they are like that, but our task is to sit here, i said well, my task is to pull out the wounded, so i left, i will go ahead. and then on that one at the moment i jumped into the trench in which the earth was still falling from the sky after the explosion of the shell and i saw a very large number of eh let

's say so help alone and he had a fragmentary injury to the head, a very large number of holes in the head, and at that moment some two people came to me, i had a machine gun next to me, and i thought so. some two stormtroopers jumped in, screaming in panic, they don't know where they are, they don't know what to do and what to do and they see that i'm doing something and i say let's do it now you're covering and you and i will at least get him out of here and we got him out the guy from the trench somewhere far away from, let's say, this red zone , he was dangerous, they pulled me out , i continued to provide him with medical aid because he was in a serious condition

there. from time to time i understood that my boys then pulled out the wounds and had to go back and uh, time after time i think that now i will meet them, i will take stretchers, i will get help and run back, and when i was already running out in the open area again , i ran to the same the very trench, the previous one, i thought i would meet the troops at the entrance to the trench, right at the entrance to the trench, i was shot by a sniper, he hit me in the back, the bullet went under the bulletproof vest and between the shoulder blades, developing two vertebrae and i was completely disabled legs, and i just like that fell into the trench from a height, er, at the same time, breaking two ribs, and the stormtroopers who were sitting inside dragged me inside and in communication. well, they stabilized me

, everything was fine, that is, i did not lose consciousness, i controlled myself, although i really wanted to sleep i was treated in uman, and already from uman they said you can return to poltava, they gave me leave, but i felt from my well-being that i needed to be treated, that just by sitting out it will not heal. work in general, of our organs, and at that time my main task was, and to this day, to be constantly treated in order to return to order as soon as possible . first of all, my attitude to life changed a lot , let's say personally, i began to value it more , to value it for the simple reason that i i saw how easy it is to take our lives because a lot of guys

were killed in front of my eyes and i saw how human life is. it's a simple thing, and at the same time, it's important that the chevrons bring victory closer and another year when we don't celebrate but choose our own independence is another day when they try to deprive us of the right to be ourselves, another moment of a terrible war that has been going on for centuries, but the whole world has already convinced us of our

independence, don't riddle it, don't drown it, don't burn it, don't shoot it . see august 24 in the specifics of the marathon , the only news, official events on the occasion of the independence day of ukraine, a thorough discussion of all 10 points of the ukrainian peace formula, and

okean elza's charity concert, let's live here independence day in marathon, the only news, tiger. good day to you. congratulations. we are currently in the renovated unium cultural center, which worked at the beginning of the 20th century, tell us about this building, what is its history, the history of this building, uh, it is unique and more unique is its continuation this is exactly what i and the people who are working with me here on this project are already involved in, and what is unique, and you know, every time i talk about it , i feel like ants run up my skin, and then that this building it was built in in 1902, it was built at the expense of the mutual aid society of the jews of the kyzczyk. they bought here first one plot of land, then another, and on these plots they built a building that was

named a-a concert hall building. union, that is, from the very beginning , a cultural and educational center was created here, the building was built for the sake of a huge concert hall , which we have on the second floor, but in addition to the hall, there was a library. there were reading rooms here lectures, that is, the goal was to create a place where people involved in culture could gather, who could give something to other people , and other people, citizens and guests of our city , could attend various events that took place here, this is all original , and we are very much going now the same stairs that we, people, climbed more than 100 years ago and all this beauty, all this stucco, all this

is still there. for me, it is very important , this is our pearl, our pride - this is exactly the hall for which the building was built, we by the way, in the guidebook of 1914, we found a note that despite the fact that the union concert hall is inferior to the building of the new stock exchange in which the philharmonic is now located in terms of luxury, but due to its acoustic capabilities, it is an ideal place for concerts of musical evenings there by the same igor. now we on

the minus first floor of the cultural center , what is happening here shelter is our shelter, which we also use as a gallery, not a space, and there are many exhibitions that reach us today, which are just perfect it becomes a place for them where they can stay. well, today it is impossible to live without a shelter, and we are obliged to have it, here we have it. but we also use the shelter as a space for art. and actually, it is not just a yard where you can breathe in the air. here, too events are held correctly tell about it like this this is our idea angarden yes we named this place and today it is the key event place you are because until summer we want to be just heaven and

every week we arrange some kind of event here with a variety of music with by various artists, and here too. you know, the atmosphere here is incredible, there is one huge difficulty, it is very difficult to leave this place, this building was restored almost in the same form in which it was built and , most importantly, it is now functioning with the same purpose with which it was created, i.e. again, this is a cultural and educational center, the tradition has been preserved . it has existed for more than 100 years, you and other people who are involved in the work of the center and continue . please tell me, everything was opened in april that is, we already have it in may. i'm sorry, we have three months of work, tell me if there were people who said that it's not time. we have a war , what centers, what kind of culture in general, was there such a thing

and how did they fight back? to say i have dollars that everyone likes and of course always when you create something, um, something is very good and you are convinced that your goal is pure , it is beautiful, it is important and necessary, there are still people who shower you with something it's not very pleasant, but the feedback we give. well, first of all, we try very hard to respond so actively to those who say such things to us, and secondly, there are actually very, very, very few such people. well, thirdly, we are talking about the fact that today it is generally very important for us to demonstrate ourselves and do what proves that we did not give up in any sense , what does the enemy want from us, he wants to destroy us not only physically . he also wants to destroy us morally. he wants

us to leave the city or the country. he wants us to be under constant stress of fear that we should be we must act on the contrary despite their desire to destroy us and in the moral sense, including we must act on the contrary and demonstrate that no people , no matter what you do there, no matter how much you bomb us, kill us, destroy us, we will still continue our life, this is how far we have the opportunity today how far we this opportunity is provided by jesus. today we will live that life for the people who today remain in the city, who today work on their front on their patch, and if we are talking about people who are not currently fighting , are engaged in their own affairs, are working they support the economy, they will give it to us, for all of us, it is also very necessary to have this

resource, to have moral strength, and for today, if we talk about the local, today's goal of the center's work, we have this very goal, to give people the opportunity to come here to distract themselves from the news feed and look at these incredibly beautiful pictures er listening to jazz music or other music well, that is, in some way to be inspired and to fill yourself, to fill this void, which exists today in each of us, in each of us it is er, which appeared precisely because of the war in the name the center has such a word international, this internationality, what does it consist of

? -what other ukrainian city ? we know what it is a multicultural, multinational city, and it is precisely this multiculturalism of odessa that has survived even today, because even because of the war, the largest number of temporarily mixed people came to odessa , people gather in the same way as once upon a time, when the city was founded, it does not matter. are we talking about the year 1794 or are we talking about some more er, more has passed anyway , a huge multiculturalism, religion, people , tradition coexisted here, and this is exactly what we want to reflect in our international status, that is, our

doors are open to any culture for any people, of course, who did not come to us with aggression, when she was preparing for our conversation, she came across an article where it was written : what are you, the main odessa tour guide , please do or confirm this opinion , where did it come from, what do you say, i will refute it. it is definitely not me about myself someone may have said something like that. in this way, we did not determine no-no-no . i am not a tour guide at all. i have great respect for people who are representatives of this profession. they work as tour guides. we travel as it is a profession. people learn about it. just not order let's see a tour no but take a walk around the city yes you can i love it and i don't have many hobbies in life but one of my hobbies is to make people fall in love with

odessa actually those who have not yet fallen in love first why should you come to odesa and what is worth seeing, er, i will answer a little bit logically, it is worth coming to odesa, because it is actually odesa, no matter what anyone says that odesa is no longer there, there is no old odesa, odesa very, very yes, but you need to know how to find it in any place people who can become e-e guides for you and introduce you to it cities a-a in odesa absolutely unique architecture in odesa absolutely unique as today it is fashionable to say vape yes such and such yes yes such emotions such feelings that exist in our city well, i have not felt them in almost any

place, then i have been to other places, what uh therefore, to come here to experience odessa emotionally, to taste odessa by eating something from odessa cuisine, even just to breathe the sea, these are also such small pieces from which the general feeling of our odessa is going to find exactly those people who, like me, are in love with their place and ready to sincerely share this love, uh, it's always people, i've felt it many times in my life, when people came from different countries, i just took them by the hand , walked them, and then fed them, of course. first a little spoonful of forshmak works, and then after that you can already enjoy your top dishes. i just understood that this is forshmak. well, if we talk about odesa cuisine, it is primarily everything that can be tasted from fish from fish, and this forshmak is

my parents, my favorite, it is a heifer. i.e first of all, it will be eggplant caviar. well, such and such and such. and since we can cook some other vegetables there , even the same one , the pepper is baking. what to see, of course, there is such a general tourist route and deribasivska to the palera opera theater is ideal, unfortunately today it is impossible to visit primorsky boulevard, it is clear today it is difficult to get into the odessa courtyards without someone, but that’s because they are the vast majority of me, my answer was no i call it an excursion, such a walk was separately odessa courtyards, because when i was still studying at the institute, i really liked walking with my friends a lot in the center of the city and, er, looking for passage yards, er, in odessa, they are called a draft, that is, a draft, hmm, we were looking for it, i know a lot

the number of such incredibly interesting odessa courtyards, but today you need to be lucky and someone will be next to you. who can show you these courtyards for this conversation, somehow we started, you know, from the physical education center and ended with odessa courtyards. and forshmak, i don’t know how it worked out, but thank you for this conversation. today we talked with the creative director of the unian international cultural center igor oksom from odesa. we thank you for bringing victory closer and another year when we do not celebrate but fight for our independence , another day when they try to deprive us of the right to be ourselves. one moment of a terrible

war that has lasted for centuries, but the whole world has already convinced us of our independence, no guns, no drowning, no burning, no shooting, and the more our hatred, the stronger ours independence is closer, our victory is closer, we prove independence every day ukrainian crimea under the crosshairs of russia, it became clear that blood could be spilled at any moment, encroachments on the peninsula began long before 2014. critical moment of the year kyiv showed that it can show its teeth how kyiv showed its teeth and
