[000:00:00;00] good evening glory to ukraine glory well, let's talk about how, in your opinion, as a leader, ukrainian culture should be presented now in europe abroad by demonstrating thus , these are the important contents that we talked about today in our program about the peculiarity i would say ukrainian cultural heritage i'll start with the fact that i've been living abroad for 30 years, at first it was poland for 26 years and the last few years from the 19th i live in berlin eh and eh first of all i would like to catch the eye and the fertile difference is colossal between how ukrainians perceive us and what they know about us in poland and how they perceive us and what they don't know about us, they don't know anything about us in germany, in berlin, and the further west it

is, the worse it is now since the beginning of the war especially there is a lot of organization of good e-e actions forever e-e red viburnum with yuriy ukraine and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so forth and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so forth and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on. organizing things festivals concerts with my own funds de facto or with some help provided by germany this is the picture i also act thanks to the help of germany i received a scholarship twice from music founds such a fund music fons and thanks to this annual scholarship i had the opportunity to create a cycle of projects continue

the cycle of projects e in total, these are 12 projects, 12 programs, these are no longer projects, these are programs , most of them are implemented and shown in germany, and some of them are also in poland, and i created almost half of these programs during the past year from may to may of this year, from may 22nd to may 23rd, and already some screenings have taken place and now the details are now the details. er to the average citizen of germany why is this war what is its cause and here i am coming to an interesting moment that is actually very difficult

as well because um from the central accounts that is to say the central scenes about the history of ukraine er that is about the history of this war causes wars what is happening between ukraine and russia now ? wars, but at the moment there are so that the average german, the largest percentage, er, um, understands that this war began on february 24, 22, a slightly smaller percentage. well, i would say a much smaller

percentage understands that the war began on the 14th of the 14th year and almost no one except specialists e.e. slavists, historians, ukrainophiles, even a tiny percentage of those who understand that the conflict is actually the first bloody conflict between ukraine and russia began in 1169 and no one knows about andriy bogolyubsky, no one at all, and that's when i m-m when discussions begin, it was even before the war and i say friends and this is us russia , they say as if they know that i am a ukrainian from ukraine i say and this is how russia is rusych and when i explain that the root of slavism is ukraine that ukraine is the motherland of slavic languages ​​and cultures of east slavic i apologize for east slavic languages ​​and cultures and when i explain that russia is there is no

slavic language root what is russia what is moscow how did suzdal appear and what are swamps what is uh-e hungary countess they start someone starts to yawn someone starts to laugh disdainfully with disbelief because i repeat for them the root of slavism is moscow when i explain that er russia appeared the name russia appeared just at the beginning of the 18th century believe me, they are so shocked it is great, great, works to this day, if they didn’t ban russia there, russian propaganda is working there

, that’s what russia is all about for decades. meaning how many ukrainians are raping and killing germans in russia , they are sure that this is the average opinion the opinion of the average citizen of germany why are you dying there why do you need this war you have been one country all your life well, the roots are the same. you have always lived peacefully and give back. why should you give back? make peace with russia. everything will be fine as it always was and we will have gas and oil and an explosion. everything will be fine. that you are dying why am i explaining this to you and when i realize that i have to explain to myself that i have to start from the egg that i have to start 800 years ago so before that was

uh then i understand that i am drinking champagne at the opening of some exhibition or after my concert which takes place in some polar city and i am not moved by this topic. that's right, even though it is necessary to play in the villages here and everywhere and everywhere to show and tell about the history of the culture of ukraine and so on, why didn't i say that my projects are aimed at er washing ukrainian history and the cultures of ukrainian e-e rites, this master-classes where the vyshyvanka where i don’t just rostyachkova show it in my closets of my collections of vyshyvankas and this ukrainian folk instrument plays on four and it’s all explained in the native language, that is, well, in germany if it’s if i explain about our m-m rites then say this look from svarog to christ von svarog without christas it is about our winter rites and explain it in the native language

from paganism to the present day i.e. i dig i try to dig as deep as i can everyone from all over every region of ukraine and i distribute these translations of this material to the public and, believe me , 70% take it away because the german really does not like not knowing something. oksana vakalyuk arrives hmm and says then uncle aunt but it wasn’t like that at all and for them this information is like like lowering everything into very cold icy water but who comes to these concerts an average german mostly that is , these are people, these are my acquaintances, acquaintances, acquaintances, it is possible to invite someone, the field is ukrainian, which we send information

here. but again, so that it would come to uh in a few, so these are small halls for 50 to 100 people, these are club halls once. i managed to from the very beginning to tell about the holodomor in joint efforts with mr. andrii melnyk and the ambassador of ukraine in berlin in the 19th year, before the pandemic itself, we played a play about the holodomor in the very center of berlin , the text of which was created by zakhvostinska and petro was received by prominent figures of ukrainian of polish origin, who are active in the ukrainian-polish dialogue. well , i translated it into german. i showed the invited politicians of the bundestag and we showed this performance. after this performance , we returned to the conversation of the politicians of the bundestag with

by the representatives of ukraine, uh, before the conversation on the topic of recognizing the holodomor as a fact, the holodomor as a fact. i apologize for the genocide. thanks to the german, er, german support, i created this cycle, i started a cycle of projects where it is about history, i want to make a project based on the history of ukraine. well , you understand, friends, if you show it, if you do it, well, this is a separate topic, also about the process creation and how difficult it all is, in fact, how difficult it is to get the support of ukrainian historians about this, i probably also have to say that there is such a project to show it, this is a representative project that represents ukraine, these are terribly

important things, that is, if this is the year oksana vikalyuk will appear on scene and in a dark language, this is how the text will show. of course, it is certified in ukraine, i will still make sure that it is not a fifth of the eye , and that it is a text that is at the level required by ukraine. somewhere in the club, then this will be one dimension of information. if it is shown in the central theater in berlin before cleaning the chau-bion, i don’t know if admiral flash is the central stage, very expensive stage, then it will be promoted properly at the level at which it is necessary to distribute - to disband this this will be another level, but for this we need funds, we need funds , regarding the funds, i am contacting you first of all, i understood one thing that i want to share with you, you and i also talked about

this topic in italy what about the front of ukraine in us kryvava peredova we say we are a united front kryvava is absolutely true in my understanding, the united front is kryvava peredova and cultural, including informational, this is a united front for me if you don't tell stories outside of ukraine in the language of the stage, you can give dry lectures, you can, but it will have a different dimension if you tell the story in the language of the stage, in a live language, with music, with projections, with acting , to present this material, a historical, very clear document in its form - this is a theater, that's it, then it will have a completely different choice.

it is important, extremely important to understand one thing. the average german citizen does not understand why this war is happening because he does not understand the history of ukraine and the history of the bloody relationship between ukraine and russia . he does not know the root of this war, what is going on in the mind of such a person, he begins to feel that's what he's starting with. he still hasn't figured out where he's going to submit his taxes and why are these weapons and this money for ukraine , the mood in germany has been very weak for a long time , pretty bad, and it's starting slowly build up a protest, bombs don't fall on their heads they don't understand the reasons for the war, they want ukraine and russia to live in harmony in the future, and they don't understand that this has never happened between us, they have no one to tell about it , and what is the head of the country doing, mr. scholtz is

a worthy successor of all previous leaders, a follower of all previous leaders, that is, he, like all previous leaders of germany, listens first of all to the sentiments of his people and not to his political environment, because his environment is very competent, very competent, and we can see it of the protests that we organize, and such ones are organized by the vichy and the red viburnum , to which i join, it will be true to say so, and in politics they know what the matter is. so this is the right-wing pro-russian party that opposes the immigration

of foreigners, and this party is gaining strength here. the situation but there is extremely many, still the vast majority of those who want to know in germany what ukraine is and why this war is, and they are open to information, but how many people will come to the club , 50-100, it should be done at the appropriate level . anna netrebko is such a beautiful singer, but a career putinist with a huge career, and it's all on the internet, i ask you to open it. well, if the prague opera refused, the vyper theater refused her performance now on august 17, then

other countries, uh, it's austria this is france this italy as well as germany. the berlin opera did not refuse her performances at all. here she changed her color, she said that no, no, she has nothing to do with russia, she will not go there to perform again, and the opera in germany said well, it's a case like this, you have to give a person a chance, you have to give a person the chance of a name and me, we will not cancel these concerts , let it spin like this, dance beautifully, and now on the 15th, near the opera house in berlin , there will be a sanction for a renewed rally organized by the red crown organization, at which i will also be speak out, but friends should also remember that protesting against is only 50%

, but fighting for and this is the next 50% which create 100% of this information front, which i emphasize once again which we have one bloody advanced informational and cultural and the cultural and informational front without the public in germany this appearance of netrebko on the poster, well, you know mostly in in sluggishly perceives sluggishly perceives as far as i know rather sluggishly perceives protesting ukrainians and some maybe german circles about ukrainian or conscious germany you know germany not so much she understands this and it hurts, but she doesn't understand because she doesn't know what the problem is, why do we react so painfully to it, and we need to tell them about it, by the way, it's an interesting observation that the issue is not how ukrainians

are trying to abolish russian culture in europe. the most important thing is how they represent their history and culture, this is still the central point and this is the question of who should organize it, should it be milk, if it is for german or polish money , should it be a ukrainian state issue politicians, this is a very, very interesting question, so according to my information, which i already have , and from my own experience . in kyiv, uh, in berlin, uh, and java, i received or did not receive a response at all, or how from ukrainian institutes i received a refusal, they cannot support my uh , this is not sorry, these are not my projects, they were created by me

, but these are our projects, these are projects they tell about the history and culture of ukraine, they cannot support this financially. okay, in response to my question. and what do you support? why do you have three questions? why do you not want to support my project if you did not even receive detailed descriptions of them, there were only a few phrases and a link video, what do you not like, music, submission of material, an idea , please, explain two projects that you support so that i know three, please, please send me links so that i can see what exactly supports my answer to my the answer is to my questions and to my reminders , i am a question, i will answer my question and i have not received an answer

. maybe they were like that before, i think they were and appeared in germany, there are not many of them , but they are there with a request for my support , mmm, in terms of creating a text that will form the basis of a performance on the topic of the history of ukraine which will shed light on the causes of today's war and whether i received an answer or not i received a response, if i received a response, it was mainly a pat on the shoulder and so-so you do, but we can't help you with this. no one has extended a helping hand to me. from this i am from this

day embassy of their leadership, which has changed now from recently , i received a letter of recommendation, so on, uh, the embassy of ukraine. well, in general, the consulate of ukraine in uh, in hamburg supported me somewhere. everything and i still started to write and gave me the text. my brother yanvyka luk is not a titled historian, but the author of the only non-national calendar that he created in the 90s, and my father is a professor of medicine, but apparently not a single publication on the history of ukraine passed by his attention. and so when i had already written the beginning and turned to the rusnych er-e activist of the public er-e thing of the ukrainian-polish dialogue, she extended a helping hand to me and she said that she supports me in terms of the text, that's it, that's it, that's

it, that's it if it's like that now let's go let's all answer this question if it's if it's called the project uh-uh it's called the history of ukraine covering the causes of the war then it's a representative project a ukrainian project that represents ukraine so if it's so then who should support it music fonce berlin or in frankfurt on the other side of some organizations or hamburg or who or whether ukraine should still support it. i think it is the second. well, this is a very important question of how cultural policy will develop in our country and abroad to ukrainian cultural politicians. by the way, we are talking about hungarians not only during the war, i have been telling you about this for ten years, i would say that only in recent years, maybe even after 2014 , after the maidan of 2014, certain

steps began, although to create an institution capable of supporting these cultural projects , and now we make sure that what is effective and what is not so well, this is also experience, these institutions are taking the first steps, the ukrainian institute in berlin exists in march of this year , in fact, the ukrainian institute in kyiv, if i am correct, if this information is correct, five years in total exists somehow i understand that these are the first steps, but well, at least respond to e-mails and messages , i offer something concrete. well, who will write who will write a play on the topic of the history of ukraine, it is terribly difficult. i understand that i have taken on a very serious topic because the history of ukraine that is actually written has been rewritten a lot, that's why, but it's me, i don't want

it to be because that's why i'm asking for the support of historians who are well-known in ukraine, and they can't support me, i don't quite understand why they can't support well can't not they can't explain the reasons, they say that they can't support it, ok, maybe something will appear here, but in order to create a play , to bring it to the stage, these are all funds, these are all serious funds, and i have 12 such plays, plus more concert programs, theatricalized concerts , there were also master classes and they are all also aimed at cooperation, it is not only ufos that oksana does. no, it is all aimed at cooperation, but it is very, very important to understand. it is very important to take an example from russia here. please do not kill me, i will explain why russia has been taking so long during almost all of its history, propaganda created itself from such strong peacekeepers, it created millions

by investing in its culture, it still works here, but we didn't have that. well, okay, but now an opportunity has appeared that we are heard, we are ready to be heard and there is a misunderstanding why this war in ukraine is absolutely and this is what i am summarizing, this is all that i have said . this means that this is an excellent foundation for talking about abroad . hands of support, but i explain once again that such serious topics must be discussed from the central abon, as i say it, the central maidans of theaters, university churches, where there are large audiences, where the action is great advertising and it all costs for example, one day, the whole thing

one of the central stages of berlin is to be rented for one day, you have to pay 15 or so euros, and the maintenance of the stage will be all of 20,000, it is only one day, it is not a day, it is one day , and you also have to pay for the product , pay for all the products and advertising, that's all solid money is all that is needed for this, these are very serious funds . that is why i would write to whom i would explain what i would say. i cooperate with several organizations and foundations in poland and in berlin. i cooperate officially , that is, i officially exist somewhere there but it's probably not the same level, they just can't give such an individual money , right. so, i'm asking, i'm asking. i'm calling, i'm writing, and i 'm explaining. it seems like a possibility to me, and i wonder which ones

your terms i don't get answers to my letters i don't know what's the matter i don't know why so i'm asking to explain i'm silent here or i get rejections so it needs to be taken to some other level and i also have questions and also to the honorable listeners of the audience now how who hears us if uh, also the channel will allow me espresso to leave your email your contacts we can to do something concrete for ukraine if ukraine is not ready now to support it for some reason if it does not see such a need well, it is as it is yes, if it is really so sad, but if it is so well, fine , but that does not mean that there is no need to talk about it if it

i don't fully understand this, i just have to come to terms with it and continue to do my work, and i am ready to continue doing it and i will continue to do it at the level at which i can, and i really hope that you and i, together with those who can support such projects, will be able to get out to a higher level, but it's all financial financial investments are very serious. thank you, oksan, and i must say at the end of our conversation that when ukrainians are heard, there is still such a window of opportunity, which, too, over time, may not be the same as it was at the time of this great war, and this should also be remembered when we speak about the presentation of historical and cultural ambitions in the world, we also need to remember the time when this window can now be said to be open because it is important for people to know what is happening in ukraine and what happened before roksanovikaluk ukrainian singer the composer actress was on the air, we thank her for participating in our program, all that remains for me is to say goodbye to you and

respect all the best victory and peace to you, dear friends, see you, join the community with a ukrainian view of the world , become a sponsor of the youtube channel espresso and this is access to an exclusive content, personal thanks, fixed comments, special icons and the possibility of personal communication with the espresso team, click to sponsor and become part of the community with a ukrainian point of view, and later on our broadcast, a documentary the film from the main intelligence agency shot down pilots of russia is a documentary film with the stories of eight russian pilots shot down in the sky of ukraine, as well as the chronology of the special operation of the military intelligence tit, during which the russian flew to the side of good

together with his mi-8 helicopter, the term as translated from french is the oldest here a card in a deck of playing cards figuratively skillful bold term arose in france during the first world war to denote the best combat pilots i.e. ace master air combat, then the pilot who shot down five more enemy planes was called an ace, and in the world war with aces of cards, especially spades of diamonds , the fuselages of the planes of various armies were inflated, this tradition was transferred to modern combat aviation, to mark your planes with aces means to consider yourself
