[000:00:00;00] and the entire area is used for the cultivation system, all of it is irrigated all the time, i was engaged in agriculture, and what is interesting is that before you joined the ukrainian army, you already had combat experience. of course, i also served for four years as a contract presence. i came from the army 904 year at that time of these er 91st year, on august 19, when the coup was in russia, i served in the declared states with the nicknames and we are the bolgrad pskov and vitiv divisions - this is the division that was sent to russia to fight against the razan taman tank division that is, you took part in those august events when the putsch was unfolding in moscow , i understood correctly, i received my first submission. so

, at that time, i was already in command of the unit, and i was the chief sergeant, so the agreement came to the command that the coup in russia and somewhere on the island of lasoshchiv in the crimea blocked gorbachev, we need to complete the task of moving and you to the airfield , land in balls and wait for the ball , the team did not reach the oil , there will be a bear lake and we have a sign of absolution, we ask very much not to enter. until then she was already 9 man, and then the bomb horn touched you, the major general said that if there are more casualties from our side, i give a full command from them, i fire, and well , the code to moscow . back to the airfield klobulinka and there we already waited further

and our teams took my brother to the unit of nothing that was the end of everything for the last chance for our ukraine to stand on our feet and decide how we should live and if we do not defend the interests of our state for the time being we will perebuschini on not that on a hundred on for a thousand years, this is the last chance given to us for ukraine. to stand up and stand up to them so that we build our state as we want and not as they ordered us. you found yourself right in the crucible of the war when there were events near debaltsevo when our army took up the defense there. what do you think if our army had such equipment and training as now we could

direct the course of events a little differently i would have known if it was now this training there at that time. yes, i don’t know where we would have been. i think that the economic region was knocked out by me. it seems to me. yes, even without the weapons that should have been, even if there was and was no equipment on strilkovo, since there was really not enough of it then but the motivation is the same and now the difference is that all the boys are motivated both at that time and now at the present time . well, i think that with this preparation we have come to a lot of things. i was not ready for what i saw there and not ourselves i was so uncomfortable when it collapses when people are everything they were building for more than a decade, when the state came, they tell you how to live and move, it’s all here, and the inner inspiration rises to drown this enemy, because , well, rage rage rage, and there is a bubble inside rage i think that you, like no one else, can

tell us now about the path of transformation of the ukrainian the army, how has it changed since the 14th year and until now? there was not at the moment, maybe there is no time, but it is even in the combat zone for the training of personnel, and i will tell you that the management is very meticulous about this, there have been such moments that the guys come there somewhere without uh, well, there is basic technical training and they come here and they become part of the staff. they serve, but they are removed, turned back, prepared and brought back here, and i really want to hear the story that happened in 2015 with the film crew of our tv channel, and then you

saved the life of a journalist and a cameraman tell me about it. it all worked out. until approximately somewhere on may 28-29 , the units came to me and said that a film crew of correspondents from the inter tv channel had arrived to shoot a story for our unit. they wanted to come to the front line. they filmed the plot for about 30 minutes, and at that moment i was learning, except for this section of lower lozova , and i made a decision. at first, we went to the shelter, we sat in the shelter for a while, then came out and came back, and i asked them to stay behind the canister fence and i crossed the road myself, there was a car from this side and on the command that

they were coming. well, when i was moving behind them at a distance of about 500-400 m , the mine exploded. that stop, go back, but they didn't hear me and they came to my level. and i caught gennady and put him in front of me. i stopped him and just turned around, and the driver got caught and fell , and this time he was breaking 120, and at that moment, i had no other option. how to stop it and to cover myself because the order was from the commander and to bring all mine out whole mine exploded and cut through the legs through the shoulder blade, the heel and nine fragments of which remained in my body, my friend was here well, he is

currently my second best man, we are with he has been in the city since the 14th year and to this day, all these 10 years, we are friends everywhere. well, he came to visit me. we sat down with him. well , all the men drank 100 g each, and he started playing sports, and he told me that it is difficult to return, but i started this time as i have because i have a partial prosthetic leg and he he says to me, you won't go to serve. i say, let's send the relationship and i will be in the army in three days. well, he left me , the relationship came three days later, i came back and we'll talk about it. i've been back here in the army for the fifth year, that's how it turned out for sports place with him and how did you take that terrible news on february 24, 22nd, when you learned that

the great war with russia had begun ? will release when announced in the state of war and martial law, i had more opportunities to remain a civilian, but since i am a military man, i defend that i am indeed a military man and my duty was to return to the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine, and this is before i took my brother to the regions, although he wanted a second unit i say let's go together to the 30th brigade and the two of us with him arrived on the 24th and we left already near troitske with him on the 26th. we will already be there . i want to tell you that when the war began. they

spoke from irpen and were expelled to belarus believe it personally. my opinion is that i know that it can no longer be won, i can't win it, and this second army is only so that it is verbal. and the difference is far. they are not like me, but since i served in the army and i know how they train, the army is strong the one that is fighting and this army did not fight, it went to conquer and we are defending , i could even list their surnames , i would remember my subordinates by that time well, i would like to issue a challenge to them, let them appear and see and what are we then met with them on the battlefield, and fate had already decided there, but this the enemy and he is on our land, not we on his land, but he is on ours, and who came here to us with a ball, we died from him and let them watch this plot that they realized that they

will not succeed here. maybe you will tell us now about a specific assault operation, it's very interesting to listen to it, our friendly seventh company under the command of yur rostyslav mykolayovych, they were found for the assault and they began to cover them with fire. position to drive what is the role of tankers they play back in such assaults as many as two assaults are planned head on with the support of tanks and they practically cover the flanks when it is necessary they come forward this is a very heroic concession if you look at their combat positions then this position should be knocked out and literally 200 to the right there was another position from the enemy they could no matter what kind of tour or rpg or lng and they could live there, they heroically came out on the level of the expensive talin and destroyed the position

of others, ours got entrenched, so i came back , now the call is going very hard. well, that's all of us we see that people don't think that anyone but us i would give them tours , they don't need them to go to the gray line, they just need them to go a little further than slavic and that they saw what is being done , how people are suffering, i am all devastated and that they understand what this is maybe there in the middle in ukraine, they converted all the men, they became men and realized that they have to go serve and protect the motherland and finally , mr. vitaly, please tell me who you see yourself after our victory at the end of the war i am a disabled person from the war i am already many

she says go home, you haven't fought already, you're already faking , her units tell me what unit and comrades i don't know, but i want to tell you. i'll probably be there until the war ends and i don't see myself in the second place. so when there is victory, then i i really know that i will go to do what i love, i love the land. this is mine . i don't think there will be a turning point this year, but on the 24th it will be really tight and i think they will

regret that they were here. everything starts with gathering information, it is the basis of our knowledge about the enemy, we know how to follow the enemy everywhere on land in the water in the air and even in space we know how to choose the right tools and use them professionally this is how the band works wise rules the mirrors you like everything is normal like children like mother i have more or less everything well, almost of course, of course, insomnia at home, and in no case do not

feel it, because the strength is right here inside us and in those who are close to us. long to your favorite music, and the most important thing, as they say in our village, is agro-fitness, it’s not good to plant tops, it became easier to move forward on beets, the main thing is not to sit within four walls, because then you dig

, i even thought about starting a garden for myself in the city. to help yourself and others go to the site how are you.com an artist in a military uniform where there should have been a thesis culture outside politics this is an absolute lie how do you manage yourself to be silent and shoot only the horse disagreed with this you met the war twice to do nothing you can't. i hate this feeling. you know weapons, you have skills. yes, i thought so when the first flight happened so close . you understand that you can't get to the hardware store. it 's always scary. my entire family, the majority of them live in crimea. fear if they studied history. they knew for sure that it is impossible to win in our country, and

that she speaks the world-famous word maidan, the origin of the crimean tatar. and you, chekhov, turgenev, maybe, please, artem seytyblaev, director, screenwriter a crimean military serviceman was born in a family of deported crimean tatars, he is the director of one of the first ukrainian feature films about the russian-ukrainian war, namely about the defense of the donetsk airport , cyborgs heroes do not die even during the full-scale invasion of the russian federation, his film myrnyi 21 was also released, which told the story of heroic resistance of the luhansk border detachment in 2014, already in russian-occupied luhansk from the beginning of the full-scale invasion, artem seytablaev took up arms and volunteered

units of the tyreo forces are currently filming documentaries about the defense of ukraine together with the tromedia team and units formed from the same volunteers . the military, you are an actor, a director, a military serviceman, all of this is together now, is there anything in the first place, of course , a military serviceman is in the first place, but thank the almighty and fate and circumstances and the commander and the team with which i have the honor to serve by my side, it all comes together quite organically because the essence of the business i am engaged in, on the one hand, most of its part is connected precisely with the completion of military service, but it is precisely this military service that is

predominant for the most part, as of now, precisely combined well, not so much with the actor's toolkit, yes, since with the director, with filming, mostly documentary material, documentary content, artistic content , there is also a lot in it, but mostly this after all, it is a documentary content, so a serviceman who is lucky to be engaged in this profession, which he was engaged in mostly in civilian life, after all, we are engaged in filming, although quite often and directly on the line of conflict, but for six months , together with the 206th battalion of the 20041 brigade, he served in nikolaev well, he was there where he was supposed to be by order of the commander and during this time you were scared, of course he more than once for himself, for others , for whom exactly, what do you not think when you

are scared there and a lot of adrenaline, what is wrong with you this country is always scary for my family, for my family, for my family. especially since my whole family, most of them live in the crimea, and those who want to know where we are in family ties, of course, they know. children, when there was such an opportunity and the opportunity to come they used to come here to mainland ukraine from crimea and constantly sell to me . hello, hello from the russian border guards. i really want to personally convey my greetings to them later , not to the children, but to everyone there. conveying greetings. i am extremely grateful to all representatives of the family that they support me, they are constantly terrorized by the russians, well, in different ways hmm, someone is not hired

, someone is fired, someone is searched, they are reminded of deportation, the first crime against a search is carried out mostly at four in the morning. and what about at 4 in the morning on may 18, 44- th year of the deportation of the people began at 4 in the morning, they want to increase fear in everyone who doesn't care, they are just stupid, uneducated, they are not orcs, they are human, because only a human can

do such nonsense , amen how badly they studied so badly and continue to study and on their history, including which they do not know at all if they studied history they knew for sure that it is impossible to defeat us we can be killed we can be destroyed and how can you explain why it is impossible to destroy because we love what we do because education is our national

sport seriously if you will take any family of crimean tatars , you will make sure that if there are, say, three children in the family, two of them definitely have an education. parents insisted on as wide a geography as possible before your education, because it is more of a toolkit in order to survive and let your family survive, this is the first, the second, i will tell you that you feel better and, uh, have a bigger toolkit in order to destroy in these scumbags who come not only weapons, if you need information and the entire history of this so-called state, i mean the russian federation, it proves that it did not win a single crimean war. well, they will lose this one as well. i

only really hope that it will be for them the last thing is that after our victory, we need to carry out such educational measures, which were carried out, for example, by the allies after the end of the second world war. i mean when the american administration in germany forcibly transported germans to the territory of former concentration camps, they forcibly showed us documentary tapes filmed by the germans themselves and then by the allies about what happened in the forced camps for several years in a row every god's day they have to pay at least such a small price as for me to see with my eyes and hear with my ears and

to feel, at least in the hall, watching the documentary tapes that they supported, at least he was silent, and these tapes you are actually creating now to show people , including together with the team assembled by our commander, the head of the public relations service of the command of the territorial defense forces of the armed forces forces of ukraine , colonel oleksiy dmytrashkivskyi, we have an extraordinary team, for a long time there were such narratives of russian origin that culture and art are not related to politics, but war is the consequences of politics and here is an artist in the military in the form of what do you think? in general, they are divided, man of art, war, military service, are you a man, are you a defender somewhere subconsciously, well, first of all, i want to say that the so-called russian narrative is not a russian negative, i will explain why, because it is precisely the representatives of the aggressor country and, in particular

, the representatives of the cultural landscape yes, or the cultural landscape, which very successfully works on russian propaganda through artistic points through other types of art, they are just such headliners of the promotion of the so-called russian world and throughout the world and for a very long time, they were the headliners of the promotion of the russian world of the russian world here in ukraine through tv series, again through festivals, through representatives of their very well-known, and it must be said, in some places extremely professional people in their profession who thus intimidated the russian world, and this is rather a thesis for all the people who want to close, let's say, or justify their desire to accidentally earn

money, despite the fact that there is a country that started a war against your country as a place to earn money , this is one case, the second case is that this such a fuse in order to justify one's non-participation in any other way than directly in hostilities yes a-a well, at least there are volunteers, i generally believe that every person a-a is not obliged to specifically hold a weapon in their hands if there is an opportunity a man, well, at least, he should have at least minimal training, yes, in order to know , well, in which direction to shoot, yes, and how to handle this weapon, at least in order to be, well , a little calm about what you should do , god forbid you will be able to take care of yourself and protect at least those who are close to you or at least himself, because a person is a consequence and a result of the cultural

background of the environment against which he is born, grows up, acquires knowledge about his values , about his meanings, about his legends, about his context , whether he is ukrainian or crimean tatar or politically ukrainian, yes and it is not interferes with the crimean tatar anya and contemporary anya russian by ethnic origin if he feels he is a part of the ukrainian context to remain on the one hand who he is who i was born by national identity by religious denomination in your native language yes, but at the same time to feel like a political ukrainian especially since we all know perfectly well that it is not the viewer who creates the content, but the content is created by the audience, we are all a consequence of what we read, what we heard in childhood, what fairy tales our parents told us what examples did they give of what is good and what is good? i don't like the communist dialogue at all, but i absolutely agree later with comrade karl

marx, who said that everyday life determines consciousness. to say the least himself in the broadest sense of what he sees around him what does he drink and therefore the thesis culture is outside of politics this is an absolute lie how difficult it is nowadays to make a film about war i still think that creating artistic content is about the present first of all it is very difficult from the point of view well and moral yes let's say so and the viewer's curiosity, i will explain why there is so much and such powerful documentary material that is now something to argue about because trying to film a direct story yes it is very difficult i am just

filming and i am ready to take off my conditional hat before by their colleagues who will dare to do this and make a feature film on the stories we see today because, well, it is extremely difficult to make a documentary. they are so emotional , so meaningful, so diverse because there are so many events that take place that you need to be a very brave artist. let's say yes, to dare to film it. if it will come out in honor and you have been inspired by the story

of the luhansk border detachment . war. have you considered such stories? the very work of our team, especially the girls, who took care of the victims of the film. how did they carry the generator first from the color correction studio to the recording studio? well, this in itself is already the story of such a... it may be a small but still an act and the feat of our girls from our team is thanks to whom or what exactly the example of this film took place for the second time if you are really inspired by a story and you are ready and you know exactly what you are ready to shoot about it honestly what you are ready to do as much as possible
