[000:00:00;00] news and summaries of the week every saturday at 9:00 p.m. the war continues and not only for territory, it is also a war for minds russia is throwing millions of petrodollars to turn ukrainians into small-scale ukraine state of the highway analysis and analysis of information about ukraine by russian propagandists concrete facts and methods for with the help of which enemy propaganda turns people into obedient zombies hundred informational attacks of the russians in the project of the chronicle of the information war with olga leni tuesday thursday friday at 17:10 on the espresso tv channel this is the 23rd separate the rifle battalion of the armed forces of ukraine was already in such a significant salient

. and in fact, at the very edge of this salient, we are holding the defense. the battalion has wedged itself into the defense of the orks in donetsk region and is holding its position right now . the military needs our help. the fighters need drones to lead the development and destroy the enemy. every drone is a lost enemy and a saved life of our soldier , join the gathering, let's show our soldiers that we are friends with them. hello, today we continue to talk with you about ukrainian show business, what's up with it so it will not be like that with him, he goes, what transformation is taking place in this incredible environment during the last

year and a half, of course, the trends there are very specific, they are very different from what was before the full-scale invasion, and i think that it is absolutely possible to talk about these trends because their very similar cases have accumulated, there have been an extremely large number, and it is quite possible to talk about some obvious mistakes by artists or, on the contrary, not mistakes, i want to say that the further the further, the more vivid and popular the following thesis that came a very active change of generations, because there are many stars who shone brightly and were popular in the full-scale invasion, they just have to die creatively now . this is the phrase that is heard very often, and they are already starting to criticize, and the discussion begins, ah, well, why don't you die creatively, because they

ca n't to adapt to the circumstances, in general, if we are talking about show business in general, about mass culture, then of course it is the market , at least it should be like that. and if a person cannot adapt to the market, he cannot adapt to any drastic changes in society, this person just falls out of this market, well, that's the truth, you understand. if we are talking about something civilized, then about something market, and not about a culture that is constantly here dated only by the state, of course we have to talk about all these things of people who cannot adapt to there are a lot of current conditions, for sure the worst example of such a star is simply lord svitlana loboda, who still cannot understand what kind of country such a country was formed while

she worked and lived somewhere in russia and svitlana loboda is constantly trying to get into our information flow and into our show business, to return here and start performing here, this is understandable because there is nowhere else she can do this. so she can go to kazakhstan to armenia and so on, but still it is necessary have a base station here, a country with which you are associated, and so far she is not very successful at it. i doubt that she will succeed because loboda absolutely every time she tries to make another attempt to enter our musical party, it turns into a fairy tale, but this week we will talk about one more such person, of course, not of the same level of non-violence as svitlana loboda, but this is serhiy babkin , of course

, who has been talked about in recent days. very good. if you don't know who serhiy babkin is, because he really can be called a prominent ukrainian musician, he is one of the two members of the super popular, even cult band pyatnitsa , they are from kharkiv and they were super popular and as they once said in the spaces of the former sinda, or as there was in the post-soviet space, they used to say that in the end, they really made great music, mainly because they were interested in a completely different, different style, and serhiy was more like that. i don't know how he can be called a bard at some point sensei, the other participants, he liked completely different music, something like reggae, and this is all a combination, and we managed to achieve such a bright result, but in the end, after they began to build their careers in different ways, and if

you remember the case of sensei, he even took participation in the selection contests for eurovision, then ukrainians voted for jamala, who later won eurovision, but on the heels of sensei and his song , which is cool to me, but with such a message , people who tend to see some political conspiracies or political technologies, you know sometimes . by the way, it is difficult to distinguish between a truly conspiracy theory and a really real political technology, but in the end they said that sunsay came to this competition as a creature, like a human being they sent someone from russia there to win, and he went to the eurovision song contest during russia's war against ukraine, well, with such a political message, albeit a disguised one, with which jamala went, and with such a saying, let's all make peace. well, if we talk about serhii babkin, then after a full-scale invasion, he became one of those

male musicians who began to be incredibly criticized for leaving, do you remember ? well, this story continues until now, but then it was just an explosion, just whole lists were there, vlad yama was definitely anatoliy anatolich, many of these men have already returned to ukraine, but at that time it was such a hot topic, and serhii babkin left for germany. i will say that he had an absolute right to do this, he is not a skeptic , he has three children and he went abroad absolutely legally. had the right to do so, but he was still criticized. well, in the end, i will speak for myself, of course, subjectively, because, you know, i have always felt insignificance in these one and a half years when some feminist conversations begin about women's rights in ukraine, so about the fact that women should be equal to men and about equal salaries , about the fact that women can also hold managerial positions. well, it's still

different, but on the other hand, we have almost no discourse about the fact that women and men are equal when it comes to e-war so we often talk about israel, equate israel out loud, and let me remind you, you know without me that women also serve in the army in israel, although not three years like men, but two, but they still serve there, they have to, and even the most famous of them like there are actresses galgadot, what was the place of israel, she joined the army like a bunny in two, when she was there, she was a fitness instructor, but anyway, this is the army for two years, you drop out of life. well, too , when i see women who have gone abroad in which there there are no small children who do not have men in the war who are simply women, as you can see there, for example, they are not from kharkov, they are from

, for example, uzhgorod, from rivne, and now they have gone abroad and they criticize such evasive men who also sit next to them in coffee the young people drink coffee. well, that's what we have there is a situation that i don't like very much, but in the end if we talk about babkin , i say once again that he has three children, he had the right to leave , but then he returned to ukraine and now began to travel abroad to give various concerts , either alone or with the band 5,000 why did the scandal arise, the scandal arose because he posted a song called treason and even two-thirds of his listeners did not like it, babkin himself said that he looked at the statistics and really people who came to watch this song listen to this song on youtube, two-thirds reacted negatively to her, what is the whole point? serhiy babkin wanted

to criticize ukrainian society, but he didn't really succeed because he obviously chose the wrong words and showed himself as a person who is completely out of time. it all started with the fact that servant publishing is a music publication, one of the most popular in ukraine, conducted an investigation . and what is it about with such a headline that friday and serhiy babkin are speaking abroad? open sources of information that could also be found there where the director of babkin himself and babkin that the promoter and ticket operator of these sales are strongly connected with russia and actually there was an investigation about this, and hmm, journalists turned to the wife of the director at the same time serhii babkin snizhany babkin and she said that they didn't know

, they didn't check her, it's a pity that this information turned out to be like this, but let's hear what else she said, the organizer of the concert in prague is our old friend and colleague ilya ostrovsky, who was born and raised in the russian federation, but has been a citizen of israel for many years, where he lives permanently, he takes an anti-war and anti-putin position and actively helps the struggle of ukraine with all the means available to him, in particular by organizing concerts, the money from which goes to the azsa . they say they don't write much about the music of her husband, her artist. and this is quite a strange look, because um , responding to such a slur, well, it's not that such an investigation will slander, so you, uh, you found out that you are cooperating with the russians in one way or another. yes, you may not know this, but

all the information must be checked . moreover, this is not the first time that ukrainian musicians, organizing concerts abroad, fall into the hands of russians and those concerts are organized with the help of russians. are they musicians ? they knew this and did not consider whether they really did not check the information, but already in the musical environment, people need to understand that one way or another such facts emerge and it is necessary to check it actually snezhana babkina, instead of simply explaining that ok, we didn't check, we screwed up, we will check all these stories, she couldn't, er, not show what is possible, she was offended by this investigation. you don’t write them, but here , when serhii got into some kind of scandal, you wrote about this beard. i’m not announcing that

it’s not dirt. journalists should find such facts to investigate if our musicians -is it is not unworthy to check the information with whom they work and continue to cooperate with the russians knowingly or unknowingly, the journalists should search for it, find it, prove it and cover it. this is absolutely normal practice , but you see, musicians are often offended by such things, but the situation is absolutely what is called, you are confused and you do not continue everyone forgot about this babkin. well, it was about this incident with the russians, but he was obviously so offended by this investigation that literally a week, he threw himself into this you can find his track on youtube treason, and it was a big mistake on the part of sergey babkin, because most likely he wanted to criticize

society, to call us not to fight there, not to look for treason everywhere, to live more peacefully, but he got a completely different result because there are a lot of words in this song , they show, you know, at least they showed many people that serhiy babkin lives in some kind of paradigm of ukrainians, ukrainian culture as a harem culture. they say if you don't drink vodka and don't eat banosh it means treason although of course not these ukrainians who drink vodka eat lard is an absolute caricature stereotype that we russians russia has always divided us after all what i'm telling you let's listen to this track the passage was spelled correctly, banoshny, you drink

vodka from cancer like pugacheva, but there is no treachery, he betrayed the shells so that their ships were hailed or looked at from the impact , it fell out of my mouth. well, after that, babkin began to be criticized, as i already said, which he later wrote in the explanation that two-thirds of his viewers had a negative attitude to this track, but only then, serhiy, on the second day after this whole discussion, wrote an explanation on youtube with a large comment and he repeated the same mistake again and which is repeated by our musicians who constantly do not get out of scandals, he started instead of just saying ok, i made a not very good track , well, you have to think if half of your listeners don't like the track, it's worth thinking about what's there, just

check and think. and if the majority doesn't like it, then you definitely need to think even more. probably , something is wrong with your track and not with people, but serhiy babkin obviously thinks in a completely different way , because in his explanation to dovgoi he wrote about the fact that people did not understand him in the same way, and for people, again, to make fun of him, to attack someone, what he said was completely different , he meant it, let's listen to what he said. for me, there can be no mocking of language or embroidery, because it meant to make fun of myself. i am ukrainian not in the sense of nationality, because by nationality i am russian. i am ukrainian by political nation by choice of values ​​and culture, so this song is not a mockery of ukrainian identity, what can it be about? only a week before the betrayal, i made a post about how and why did i switch to ukrainian, first in songs and then in life, i

wear embroidered clothes and i am proud of that, and serhii did not say that this track of his is actually a plagiarism and from a poem by york kosmyna yurko kosmyna, poet, satirist, ukrainian, he is in 2016 in 2016, on the website detector media, he published his poem about the information space, it is also about treason, it is similar simply because the text of serhiy babkin is just there, the style is identical, and i don’t know, there is of course a chance that serhiy babkin himself also invented such a style and it all coincided, but very similar to the pleiades, serhii did not mention this, but he was hungry , what i want to say is that serhii babkin dali did not even understand the claims that were made to him, perhaps some of the most rude, the most hateful, some of them, well, let's say emotional he understood there when

he was called a little russian and so on and so on . he answered exactly that, but he did not answer the accusations that serhii does not understand the society in which he is now, and from my point of view, this is really how he does not understand, and far from it because he spent a lot of time abroad , i have many friends and acquaintances who left even before the full-scale invasion, and they are absolutely in the context of the ukrainian agenda, they are not detached from our political or social events that's why staying abroad and you know it's far from being a sign of the fact that some ukrainians are no longer the same , unlike those who live in ukraine, they didn't go anywhere, but in the end, it's babkina's story. he shows us such a sad picture of

the ukrainian show- business, when do you know people who er, well, they were never particularly interested in the history of ukraine, who were indifferent to the war that had been going on since 2014, only after february 24 did they not understand that the war was going on , they insisted that the aggressor russia was them they realized it. thank god, of course, but when these people begin to make themselves such thinkers, people of opinion, in the sense that they will now show society where to go , they will look deeply into our processes because they know how to do this, because they are artists, they will show society what society does not see itself, this is absolutely not the story, unfortunately, unfortunately, among the representatives not only of our show business, but of culture in general , there are very few people who are really

educated, who understand politics who have been interested in this for not the first, not the second, not the third year, who actually know some prominent ukrainian people who can ultimately draw parallels between the period of the unr directory and something now, and there are really few such people, and therefore definitely when they start to pretend to be people like me i already told the thinkers yes and this looks like enough, well, sometimes funny and sometimes fatal, it is possible for these musicians . well, let's see what will happen to sergiy babkin, because this is what we say to him very often now. this is the thesis about what a musician is. who is waiting for a creative death because he can have good songs, but if you constantly fall in. these are similar skas. i absolutely do not understand what your viewers and listeners want from you. after all, when your listeners

are your fans, your fans are already on the second step above you in the understanding of what is happening in this country well, for sure, in the end, you will simply become an uninteresting and uninteresting musician for them - this is exactly what creative death is, so we wish serhiy babkin to learn a little to read, maybe some there are really smart people, yes, bloggers, not those who have a lot of views. let's just say that there are sometimes absolutely rubbish, and the people there, i won't even name them now , let them look at least in timati snyder's collection, they are so easy for people who do not understand anything at all in history, so we, snyder, recorded it for our foreign friends, so i don’t know what the history of ukraine is. well, probably people from our show business don’t know very well how

ukraine used to live, so these lectures will be ok, well, now we will move on to one more scandal , which seems to me to be much more important, because it is about the ministry of culture and information policy, our much-suffering one, which is now without a head, without a head since the removal of oleksandr tkachenko, of course , but as i always do in such in various cases, various whispers began , various rumors about what and who will replace him , and they talked about, oh my god, even about natalka natalya moseichuk, about the tv presenter, they talked about deputy minister rostyslav karadeev, well in fact, he began to perform these duties until he got into scandals with the fact that he once drove a car. there is no last one . well, they also considered the candidacy of lesya ostrovskaya february, who now manages the artistic arsenal. she has a very good

reputation. professional reputation, and so she never got into any scandals, but something, no, she was not appointed , and just two weeks ago, new rumors began that it is possible that julia will be appointed a fairy. well , here the cultural community in general was incredibly happy, but at the same time did not believe it what well, yulia fedium is really one of the coolest cultural managers in ukraine. she managed the ukrainian cultural fund , and during her tenure, the cultural fund naturally became an extremely popular and popular institution and also gained a very good reputation. let me remind you that it was formed only in 2018 and the ukrainian cultural fund is a fund that distributes grants to artists on a competitive basis, and thanks to this fund

, we saw a lot of different cultural projects , from books to various concerts to performances and so on and so on. yulia fediv of her time already applied for a competition in 2021 to head this institution for the second time. however, she suddenly withdrew her candidacy . it all happened because, hmm, such a union was formed , the concert union of ukraine, which literally because of a month after its formation, she accused the federation of allegedly performing her duties poorly, in particular, she and the representatives of the union talked about the fact that in kved, some contestants who won grants in the ucf did not

coincide with those questions that are in the applications that they filled out, and the representatives of the union found such inaccuracies and accused yulia fedieva of corruption. after some time, they really opened a case against her. hryvnia well, this is the story after that, of course, yulia fediv did not go to the competition. well, in the end, she headed public television, then she went to the united states to study, and now no one dreamed that such a cool person could to head the ministry of culture because our cultural community has already agreed on someone well, maybe not very professional, but at least better than tkachenko, and it turns out that there were rumors that julia fedium could head the ministry of culture, but for now it remained at the level of rumors, however

, there was such an interesting story , ah, mykola chernotytskyi, who i am the manager of public affairs, he posted to the public access on facebook, and, uh, the chests from the message of uh, the journalist of the government, tsurkan, she wrote to the journalist of public affairs with an offer to make a commissioned material against the yuliifers the authorities introduced themselves as representing the interests of one of the employees of the ukrainian cultural fund and said that they needed to remind people that yuliya fediv was said to be a terrible corrupter and stole 57 million uah, and among her words, the government of surkan included what i am quoting, of course, to hang of course , we are ready to thank you financially for the coverage of this news event, of course there was a scandal

because, to be honest, in the journalistic community for a long time, there were no such cases of a frank offer of jeans jinsation is called on television in general in the media when some material against someone or for support is posted for money, and what is interesting is what everyone started to think. if such companies have already started, even with bribery of journalists . by the way, we have started to monitor the media and the cultural community , because if they offered money to the public , then surely they should have offered more and other media people, so far such materials against yodi yulia have been fed in the media, and i have not seen them, but i have seen many bloggers who have already

started to write exactly the theses proposed by vlada tsurkany. this is how these bloggers got burned, some started deleting their posts , explaining something there, you know. well, if you look at our various bloggers, of course you have to be very careful with them. and i just recently heard the prices, for example , what average bloggers charge for such a denim post, on average , you can get 500 dollars for what you write for i don't know much about someone or against someone. is it a lot? if you write such posts all the time, you can do quite well of course . well, it's funny that this vlada is a surkan, she is a tsurkan, she worked on tv channel dom, then on tv channel kyiv , in the end, she resigned from kyiv a few weeks ago. she wrote to herself on facebook, the explanation is not good enough, she started

saying that she is acting and acting like this simply because she cares for the country, she is against corruption , that is why she got together and with her own strength tried to draw the attention of journalists to such problems that they say everyone praises this julia fedia and she is a corruptionist , it can't be like that and she said thank you and i did not offer any conditional materials and acted on my behalf and not on behalf of someone in the ukrainian cultural fund, although the message to her was written in black and white well here are also such scandals very often in our country after scandals , people do not know how to properly explain the right way out of these scandals, but we will definitely monitor the situation with yulia flute because we would really like to finally get to the ministry culture and information policy was headed by a professional person, and we have such a chance . but we see that, after all, there are still people who do not want such a person to become

the head of this ministry. we will definitely follow up with you. farewell, i wish you a traditionally calm day, a calm evening, a good night, and see you on espresso at 5 p.m. in ukraine, for your attention , a news release on the espresso tv channel in the studio, iryna koval welcomes all viewers the village of strelecha in the kharkiv region was under enemy fire there the russians hit a civilian car with a guided anti-tank missile, a man and a woman died on the spot, another man was wounded and hospitalized , the head of the regional military administration, oleg sinogubov, said they will not cross
