[000:00:00;00] and kyiv is a book festival that will last for several days. first of all, we can see books as usual. it is logical that you can buy books here. and i want to say that it is convenient because you can not only buy a book, but also grab a writer somewhere and ask for an autograph if you you like it, well, and secondly, here you can constantly listen to some performances by writers and the writer now . there in the back is dara korneeva, a children's author. speeches, for example, if you turn to the left, there is a conversation about linguicide, which is also very interesting and important, because the speakers talk about the fact that in our country there is blingocide, and in fact

, nowhere else in the world is they actively talking about it, they are not talking about the extermination of the language, we they should talk about it not only in their own country, but also somehow convey it abroad because well, it is true there, well, in some countries they do not understand it at all, but if you turn to the right, you will be able to hear the discussion, quite lively and emotional representatives of the cultural and cultural industry in general and publishers actually about the problems of reading in ukraine, the problems of publishing in ukraine, several such discussions are planned here because the topic is really not just large-scale and important, it is also a small talk and here i went to listen and got to a rather emotional speech of the former minister of culture and a-a body manager volodymyr borodyansky p volodymyr called on publishers to finally save money and conduct some kind of human sociological research on whether ukrainians read

they read little do they read or not a little they read because the question has been raised for many years and many of the radophils around all this say that we generally read very little ukrainians are not interested in this topic and it may turn out that everything is not at all as pessimistic as many who thinks in one word a-a come to this forum there is a lot of interesting things here , in fact, you can't spend the whole day here, it's also called hanging out and spending time with interest and benefit and now i'm announcing my interview from kharkiv blogger anna gin. perhaps you are subscribed to her, for example, on facebook. she is extremely popular. she also published a book from this diary. she was in kharkiv from the first day of the full-scale war and from the first day of the it large-scale war. she started keeping diaries, but now she has published a book based on them based on her descriptions

of the first year of the full-scale war, and she says that she is now giving various presentations, and i was told that the first edition of this book was almost completely sold out, so i think that this there is just an answer to the question of whether ukrainians read a lot. do they not read a lot because there is interest in books? but you have to remember that books are a product like any other , it needs to be advertised, promoted somehow , then they will buy it and then we will have such writers, writers, stars. although what am i saying, we already have them. well, uh , i urge you to watch this interview . i think that anna told a lot of interesting things. this is a diary, in fact , this is a diary. the first year of the war full-scale war with i started the first post on february 24, and the last post

in this collection was made on february 24, 2023 , that is, this is the year of the war, the diary of a woman from kharkiv is so, so the book is called how are you there, i called it so, i thought that this question to everyone who stayed, who, god forbid, is now in the occupation, who left for a safe place somewhere in europe, there are no ukrainians, and the last year and a half have been bad for everyone, well, i 'm sure of that, regardless of where you enter, that's why i'm asking how are you all readers, where did they read these diaries, are they from kharkiv or from lviv, are they now somewhere in poland or, god forbid, in mariupol, yes, this is the question how are you there for every ukrainian and

not only for a ukrainian ? people who once emigrated a long, long time ago, several decades ago, it seems to me that this is also a question for people, for people, how are you, what is your relationship to what is happening now in ukraine, to this war . somehow different for each er he accepts it, but the people who worked on the publication of the publishing house called this book among themselves the diary of a woman from kharkiv, and in fact it is

the diary of a woman from kharkiv. i was in the dnipro for several months. i am also describing them, but still, this is the diary of a woman from kharkiv. can you say what exactly you wrote? you wrote on the 24th, because i remember myself on the 24th. and i was in buch and stayed here for two weeks. and i remember that i really regret that i did not keep diaries because, well, memory is such that many things are forgotten or distorted. so on the first day i panicked terribly there, i didn't know where to run, but tell me what exactly you wrote in the first post, i described in detail everything i saw around and heard around me and on the morning of february 24, in detail how i went out to

my balcony at home i live on the 17th floor in kharkiv on saltivka and my windows overlook the border with the russian federation, so i not only heard explosions, i saw flames , there was such a glow on the balcony, orange, red, and i was standing smoking, i lit what sorry and looked at caesar and thought to wake up my daughter, what to tell her, what to go out, should i go for a walk with the dog in the morning, or what should i do ? i went out. i didn't wake up my daughter. i went with the dog because

i had to take the dog outside and i saw what was going on in kharkiv on saltovka and it was chaos, crazy people, it was five in the morning or at half past six, people were running out under on the way to their homes, the children were crying, some suitcases were being packed, everything was being packed people were going somewhere, there was a traffic jam at 5:30, apparently. we went out with the dog and the traffic was already at the gas stations

. i drove up to the gas station, and there is a traffic jam for 1.5 km. people are already there, they are cursing, everyone is cursing among themselves, who was there and who was not, i realized that i will not buy anything. i will not even be able to go there. there was such a panic. people did not understand what what what this is, or did they understand, but everyone in my own way and i wrote about it, i wrote about what the explosions were like, when they happened, how i came home, how my daughter woke up and how she cried, i sat and they asked me constantly , you said that nothing would happen, you told me that it was nothing, you told me she said that it was impossible, you told me that it was them. they somehow broke through like

this. you promised me that this cannot happen in the 21st century . you promised me. she sobs and says, you promised me, that is, from the first day i described the feeling is what i see from the window, what i see on the streets, what happens to me friends, what do i feel my fears or people or hatred? i wrote about all this and it came out like this diary, a diary of kharkiv residents . it turns out to be his car, and many ukrainians do not know some basic facts about life in occupied mariupol. although there are many diaries that are completely open access

, you can read them, there are many testimonies, but these facts are still unclear. i am sure that such there are facts there and the circumstances that happened in kharkiv. maybe you can remember which of your stories about what your stories caused your facebook audience to admire the most, why people from other regions were incredibly surprised and wrote that we couldn’t imagine such a thing there. something is happening in kharkiv that was really a surprise . first of all i want to say about uh, about that movie yurik uh, i was asked there six months ago.

do you worry when you write or something and i didn't really know what to answer to that i, well, i write because i write i always wrote and wrote all my life i write with - everything i do is somehow connected with the word i didn't know i couldn't formulate an answer. why are you writing this? well, i'm writing. i can't write like that. but when this movie yurik came out and i watched it, now i can answer anya's question. why are you writing this? i can answer now because there was no yuryk, that's why i'm writing this. i encourage everyone to write and shoot record write write somewhere on the table so that it will not be forgotten and that yurik will not appear so that this story

will not be there after a few years, well, with the armor splashed with just an elementary face, i was very indignant , i am a kharkiv woman, i have never been in mariupol, but when i watched this movie, my hands were shaking, i wrote it. here is a post about it. how , how is it possible ? two bedroom two bedroom basements with with little beds with pillows, dudes, well, this is just a spit in the face of all those people who sat in those basements with rats, where i had a baby in four days, uh, pneumonia

, i got the shakes after these shots , seriously and here is the answer to your question, what this was what surprised people about kharkiv. well, i don't know. somehow there was such a discussion when, well, we already have a normal picture when all the windows were taped over with scotch tape . the cross, well, it's just such a picture that it's not that it doesn't surprise. this norm is surprising if it's not crossed out, i don't remember exactly, i don't remember, but something like, what kind of tape or something . will

masking tape be suitable, and people from ternopil oblast asked what is it , what is it? people who, regardless of which corner of ukraine they are in, whether there is active active hostilities there, whether missiles are flying there or not, people who are included, how is it in ukrainian, included there, yes, in the context of the situation there, there was a mountain tragedy, which is happening in this country now, and they are included regardless of that devan and there are people who are not included, regardless of where they are, do you think here in kharkiv everything is straight, everyone is directly included well, let's not lie , it seems to me that it does not depend geographically where a person is located and now you can tell us all , first of all, to me

it seems that it is possible to generalize here, we have all experienced transformations , some are bigger, some are smaller, so what are the biggest transformations you see in yourself, perhaps unexpected things that you could never think about yourself and what you can to say about how kharkiv has changed, at least according to your observations, on the one hand, it has changed over the course of many years , it has changed in different ways . who somehow hide in their clothes in hoods, these are people who don't communicate much, these are people who are always under some kind of anxiety, people

who constantly discuss what is arrival and departure what is this what is this what is an mlrs or s300 what is a scanner and here are these conversations conversations that it was so a where and where people flew in who were immersed in the shelling, and where did you buy food for the dog ? and what about the store opened there? yes, she ran and the child was completely and it felt like that, there are no children, but on the first of september, i remember writing about this in the year 22 when there is not a single child on the streets with a flower or an embroidered dress or in a suit, not a single teacher with a bouquet, not a single handsome father there, and it was very felt , children are not summer children, children are riding big

skates on roller skates and this is one kharkiv a-a and now it is another kharkiv a year ago i was standing we were on the parking lot near the house. there was a parking lot for cars. me and mine, and my neighbor, we had two of us, and we are like that. where would i put it today? and what do you think? they discussed me if here . maybe it's safer here. maybe here ? debris will fly there, and here we discussed with him where we should stand on such a big parking lot at two o'clock, two of us, so now i'm already arriving. -e well, not

so much as before a full-scale invasion but there are children, they are there with flowers, they are neat vyshivanochka came to the subway on the first of september to study, but they left some barvy returned to kharkiv, works well, i think 70 percent is exactly what worked shops there, hair salons , beauty salons, pet store, little ones, they are 70 percent life was revealed, it returned to this place , it returned, it was changing. well , bogdan is transforming, transforming , to say the least, in these 1.5 years, how has it been , a lot of people are trying to communicate

in ukrainian, and it is audible, it was not. it was audible on it's a pity before kharkiv, well, it's true, it wasn't. and now we're trying, i can hear myself. i don't like it here, it's not ukrainian, it's something , but we're trying. excuse us, people, but we 're trying. a lot of people went out, take to the streets every day, the symbolism of vyshyvanka, something ukrainian, big, so, so. patriotism that was not hmm inherent in kharkiv, well, in general, every day. well, there on holidays , yes. but every day was not about kharkiv , now it is about kharkiv . i think it seems a little warmer to me. to one i think if before you stand in the supermarket at the cash register if someone came up there without waiting in line, he is such a risky guy from kharkiv, then there could be

some sort of showdown, so go through now . please go through, well, something. well, he is so soft. i think he has become friendly to each other, they warned we survived a lot here and we survived together and we exchanged water and bread and who has what and who has food for the dog and people carried well there was a lot of help because support from neighbors when who before could not say hello that's all well they could but somehow paid i think the city has paid i think so it is very nice to hear because on the other hand we are constantly hearing such calls not to quarrel especially in social networks that we ukrainians quarrel a lot we do not need to do so and that is why it is very nice what are you really what is there in kharkiv

yes, such a warm relationship, i wanted to ask you which clothes are personally considered the most important. well, send them in your book. what would you like to convey to other ukrainians so that you would like them to know that it is possible that what they do not know, they have not experienced but they must know the first and second things if we are talking about foreigners. i don't know if your book will be published. and there they are in other languages. i really wanted it to be. because it is any such diary and this is important and uh. maybe you are we also thought about what exactly foreigners in different countries need to know in order for their opinion to change on something , and then they simply knew that it is important when

we are here inside the country, it seems to us that other people feel the same, see the same and you the emotions themselves live, but that which is not so i understood somewhere and then i decided that i will print this diary. then i decided , er, somewhere at the beginning of the summer of the 22nd year , a friend of mine who was somewhere in lithuania. and by the way , my book has already been published in lithuania, it has already been translated to anya on september 15 it will come out, it has already been translated, it is printed in lithuania, so here is my friend in lithuania, and what about us, if we watch something, some kind of extract, yes there on telegram channels or maybe on television, then we are shown that

country and country and country and country with ukrainian flags and there us support some kind of rally there with the support of ukraine and you think the world is for us, the world knows about us, the world is worried about us, we are not here, we are not, well, not alone, this is the feeling. and when a person goes to lithuania, i talk to her on the phone. and she says, women came up to me and asked if you are from ukraine. we don't understand what's going on with you, so we looked at his type solovyov, for example, they call the name of some russian propagandist and

i 'll be skabeev. i can't hear her well because something is flying over my roof and i'm so confused by everything. well, how is it that way, or you at that moment , four or five months of the war already, everyone has already written everything, but simple, well, ordinary people somewhere in lithuania they say well somewhere in the middle is the truth and i can't blame them i can't it's wrong sitting with you in kyiv or in

ukraine no, no, that's why i'm there, at some point, i stopped getting annoyed by it, i think, stop. why does it annoy me? well, i know very well that the war in georgia has been announced the other day. in general, i know, but it kept me busy for 24 hours 7 days a week is not very much and that's why i decided i will write. i will write. well, i wrote anyway, but it's uh... after six months of war . i already wrote understanding that i will print it for girls or boys or whoever and outside of ukraine, they read and listened to the same

ordinary person, but what about ukrainians? it is important that they know for sure about kharkiv, so that there are no jurists, in particular, so that people are not surprised because, oh my god, the candles turn out to be economical, so it seems to me, again, it seems to me that how in ukraine does someone not know about kharkiv well, it seems so, but well what would it matter to me that people should know about kharkiv, because sometimes two or three times i heard such horror about kharkiv, allegedly from the west of ukraine, that kharkiv right away, everyone was waiting for russian

peace. i shudder when i hear this. i hear good people, it's not true, it's true never was, never and never will be, it seems to me that he knows the people of kharkiv. well, we left with our bare hands. if these tanks reached a little bit further than they did. a separate topic for discussion, how did it turn out like that? well, we ukrainians, this is not discussed, we were ukrainians, we remain

and will not remain forever. this is in general. there is no such question at all, because when i hear something like that , well, kharkiv is russian-speaking. it's 40,000 kilometers from my house to belgorod, it's about 40 kilometers from my house to belgorod. what did they want there? no , they're good people, i 'm very serious. please don't spread it. not by a single letter m- we never wanted we didn't want and we won't want to get there we ukrainians it's well, fundamentally it would be important for me that everyone heard, well , no one was in kharkiv, not a single person would meet here with bread, salt or

cloves, no it something in your imagination, so if someone has it, then it's not true, it's a myth no no this is yours dear tv viewers, this is the news with you in java melnyk and the situation in kherson region is starting, the enemy fired at the village of sunny in kherson region, russian shells hit private houses, a 48-year-old man died on the spot, the head of the region oleksandr prokudin told, and then what about the countries of group 20 - you published a joint communiqué in which ukraine is mentioned, the leaders of the states called for
