[000:00:00;00] and we are colleagues, and one way or another, they a fall into the pit, it’s just that it’s completely different, and you know how it seems to me that ’s the same in the literary community already, more or less a, a certain consensus is emerging that says that no, we will not act together with the russians a who will speak together with the russians, we will criticize him. so, on september 24, mr. andrii will speak at these meetings, not only masha hesen , but also margaret edwood, a well-known canadian writer, she is known first of all for her the work is the diary of a random girl, the story of a maid well, there will be nala a , she is also

a fairly well - known canadian journalist. point of view will speak and will broadcast the ukrainian point of view together with its own on the next platform. you have seen such a prestigious one. but not because ah, we can now mentally transfer to the grass, will you remember what is inside two months were held around the american pen - this is such a well-known literary organization and the festival they held in new york, they invited three ukrainian writers and two of the writers had a writer artem chekh artem chapai iryna all went to new york to perform there and they told the organizers of the previous er, after telling them that we have such a position, we will not perform on the same platform with the russians, they were told ok, we understand you, we came to new york and it turned out that there will be a panel with

by the russians, it turned out that the organizers simply misunderstood them. they thought that ours would not sit at the same table with the russians. and when they will perform on some other day , then ok, they found out that the organizers apologized and, on top of that, this situation should not attract at all draw attention, but not because these russians were kicked out of the festival and of course they were upset, and masha hesen, who was supposed to lead, was supposed to moderate this platform, they actually gave a very angry comment to a well-known publication, more famous in our country they gave all the platforms and people today, and the comment is quite competent. they said that this is the next word, that this is a list of any democratic values. this is how expelling people simply because they are russians is in general some kind of racism and chauvinism. in that material in the atlantic, and there the author will even point out that ukrainian writers are

too cruel to their colleagues. and by the way, then viktoria merina petrified this definition of cruel ukrainian writers. brutal ukrainian writers or writers yes, they and i will remind you literally after a month and a half of victoria 's life, she died from a missile attack on kramatorsk by the hands of the russians this is such a cruel ukrainian writer of course it 's all very terrible, but such terrible moments are very difficult for us to convey in english of the foreign public to the intellectual one, too , who should understand everything, that's the thing , i'll explain to everyone in general why i'm talking about your geisin, they say that because it's not binary, you see sometimes

about a slip- slips in me, they don't binary they moved to such people belong to say they and not she what he they moved from russia in 2013 there they were opposition journalists as always and because of the danger they moved to the united states there they also made a good enough career although they had previously written in various american publications consider them to be so popular, such publicist journalists , writers. actually, they have a sufficiently large authority, so this story gained enormous publicity at the time, and our researchers, journalists, colleagues and writers they began to study them again, masha found that there are quite a lot of good rusyns

, there are not always crimean natives. people who said that here they experienced such humiliation that they were criticized for speaking russian well, i don't know you probably that it's not worth explaining this i'm probably these stories i should tell foreigners but my dad was russian in half and he spoke russian, and i was born in the rivne region, and in my entire life i don't remember him complaining about any infringements, oppression, that he speaks russian, but of course at work, he was a school director, a sports coach, he spoke exclusively ukrainian because he thought that this is an absolutely correct story and he did not say that this is how he is, he is poor, unhappy, he is forced to speak ukrainian, so you know , for an opportunity, they will constantly tell this story to people who behave like this abroad, but i advised him distributed masha hessen, in particular, a good russian woman, yes well, this is not the first time we see this. unfortunately, for andriy kurkov

, this is a background story if you have forgotten, and here is andriy kurkov, despite the fact that the hessen match has such a bad reputation among ukrainian authors that ukrainian authors mostly treat them very - very, very yes well, i will show you with a cool one, whose wariness for some reason , mr. andrii agreed to participate with her on the same platform, it is not clear why he did not explain this, by the way. well, for sure, he has his own certain motivation, there are a lot of explanations. things all these stories why is it necessary why is it still necessary to communicate with russians, in particular abroad, we will also talk about this i will remind you but i will say this story in general with krokov became known a-and in particular well, not in particular probably, first of all, thanks to artem cheku he is a military serviceman, he is already a former i understand that he is already on leave and he is also a writer and in the end he wrote and posted on facebook in some

way that it was so resonant and popular that he was not hater in any case because in general artem check-n by the way and his wife iryna, they are even characterized by aggression, on the contrary, they always demonstrate their opinions fairly tolerantly and with respect . well, artem wrote this to the description. mr. andriy, let's listen to an excerpt from his post. at that time, our position was such that it was adamant, and andriy kurkov could not help but know about this scandal . he knew of course and is unlikely to have forgotten. even this will probably bring some benefit to ukraine, but all this will stink a little with the russian

context and the swamp mud with a post. well, what is terrible, i say this because there is no line. i did not notice it because almost all writers agree with the czech, because i am repeating myself. in our literary environment, it is also already this consensus that we speak with the russians, from which mr. andrii left, but andrii came in the comments and i understand that despite the fact that he is so tolerant , artyom's intonation is such was offended or took the criticism as it is appropriate, let's listen, prepare the frontal area for me, let's not get used to it. hessen sent tens of thousands of dollars to help ukraine. russia has even less to do with shishkin, a citizen of switzerland, if you hold a referendum on it , am i a traitor or not, and the people will vote that traitor , then i shut up and

i will no longer speak on the subject of russian aggression in the international public space, well, in the end , this story has been going on until now, usually we have such scandals, they they last for a few days, then they are forgotten, then they are remembered, but i want to note that with regard to mr. kurkov in general, i want to remind you that he is truly one of the most unknown ukrainian writers in the world, and obviously, this is because he got bored early enough with such issues of marketing, promotion, he has a good reputation agents which make his books popular and recognizable, and this is of course very good, because i have already seen that some people criticize , saying that of course any writer here will become so popular, but not because this all the same, such a lot of work and marketing and promotion, it is very important for writers who are easily

weighed by this story, that andriy kurkov is not as popular as some, but now a lot of our people abroad say that they often meet and most often meet kurkov's books in various bookstores and even then, i saw a comment that seems to be czech. with this post, a person said that she went to a bookstore and saw books by andriy kurkov in the russian literature section. she asked what was going on, and they explained to her that it was because it translations from russian are so good, they decided that this is a translation from russian, it should be in the section of russian literature . well, in the bookstore, a person wrote that the consultant did not agree with this position, but as it is , for example, people who live in britain are not alone that's how a person told me that actually, you can also see almost the only kurkov about bookstores and when you go in, you can

find a stork and often no one else, well, uh , in the end, uh, uh, kurkov himself, uh, kurkov is treated quite differently in ukraine, this thirdly, it must also be admitted that some people really like his works, they are really so for a mass audience, they are always of interest to many people . they are usually fascinated by his stories , but many consider him to be a person with some kind of pro-russian views. maybe because he writes in russian, for many it is a big argument in general is kurkov himself, at least before he called himself a-a ukrainian nationalist-nationalist writing in russian. but that was his definition, and many people don’t like it nowadays, and he always defended well, there he usually defended those whom we call good russians defended the russian language eh that's how all things were , but eh, in the end eh, i still need to say about him

this comment that was under the post of artem the czech . he said that he wrote that masha hessen is like a good person because she contributes a lot there. she spends a lot of money on ukraine, and it annoys me a little. so when i hear such arguments because it is a measurement of some kind of money, they are not. people can buy themselves off with money. imperial views will forgive them everything because they allocate some money, well, this argument is used quite often to protect good russians, liberals, as there are also in quotation marks, or people, if you have noticed ukrainians who also get into various such pitfalls , they also very often when they start to justify themselves they say that you know, we earned money for the army with our concerts, you know how much we have already given to the defense forces, but you hate us, damned people, by the way, there is also speculation on the word hate, i constantly pay

attention to it. i think that this is important because what is criticism and hate is very often the concept of hate, that is, it is translated from english as hate, after all, hate is different from constructive criticism, agree and that's why when you are criticized, especially if you massively call it hate, then this is such a position, from my point of view, a little infantile, sometimes it is necessary to wonder why your actions or your words cause such a violent reaction in society, not always it is some kind of herd instinct, not always it is simple things just to relieve people of some nervous tension not really often these are absolutely constructive stories. so now we will turn again to the topic of whether or not ukrainians should perform at various venues together with the russians .

it is possible because we are losing the platform, because , for example, if the writer does not want to speak, refuses to speak, they simply will not speak and express their point of view and will not say something in defense of ukraine, that is correct definitely but at the same time, russians very often use ukrainians until now , it’s theirs. this tactic began with the beginning of a full-scale invasion. this was done, for example, by kyryll serebrynnikov in his performance, he invited a ukrainian to sing, which he most likely did not need at all, but then he said, look, we work with ukrainians, they are good to us treat us well, you treat us well too, give us a visa, give us a pass, give us a green card and don't

apply any sanctions to us at all, but it must also be said that there are, hmm, a lot of such controversial moments when, for example , our cinematographers drive on various film festivals, and there are russians there too, but there are no objections from society. neither from society, nor from colleagues . there were russians, especially in cannes - it’s a fairly pro-russian film festival site, and films were already openly sold there, and in the russian box office, they cooperated not only with russians who left and fled from the regime of this meandering no, they cooperated with people who remained there and continue to work and that’s why around there are enough manipulations of this issue, and still i believe that each specific case should be considered separately, because somewhere it is appropriate to speak with the russians, somewhere it is inappropriate, and

in the end, it would probably be super if the ministry of foreign affairs would deal with this question, this clarification and the formation of some of the rules from the strategy, it would be very cool , of course, they probably don't have time for such a thing , but the truth is, it is very important because there is such a thing as cultural diplomacy. by the way, about this question the ukrainian institute, which is in the ministry of foreign affairs, is involved, and it seems to me that it would be very good if they eventually developed some rules and decided what to do with these unfortunate artists, because so far it all happens on such a basis in social networks, so it is not always effective. well what i will also remind you, my friends, of the main events that took place in the literature on this issue, because again, i will remind you that in the literature it is already considered that it is not possible to speak with the russians, and probably the

most vivid case of slander happened to yuri andruhovich a year ago, and he i was thinking of speaking with the writer shishkin, he is russian, but by citizenship he has long been a citizen of norway. here he is going to speak with him about the fate of ukraine and in general about all these political things. and so he spoke and it was great. received a huge portion of dissatisfaction and it was really very rude to comment, but mr. yuriy also reacted so offended and , well, in the end, this case, on the other hand, served as such an example for other writers that look what can happen, and also, unfortunately , the incident happened with oksana zabuzhko for example, which is always well, it seems that we should not get involved in such a scandal, but the fact is that a collection called posle tretyhego zvonka was published , it is a collection of translations by ukrainian writers

, the publisher is the institute prospective studies, yes, the sciences of the university of edinburgh, where there is a department of slavic studies that studies slavic countries , there and there, too, not in literature, where russian literature has always dominated, and here actually, ms. oksana was attacked the most although of the other authors there were maria matios mar yevgenia kononenko was from kiyanovsk, but ms. oksana received the most . by the way, she explained her position in a comment to the limit detector. she said that this is such a good strategic step because, in general, in the world, slavic studies departments russia still dominates and the imperial agenda there dominates, and very often only russian literature is studied. and all the others are so -so or little studied or not studied at all , and therefore this collection should serve as an incentive for the study of local students who

know russian and ukrainian literature, at least in russian translate, but they don't know ukrainian, so read it in russian, gentlemen, let's listen to ms. oksana, what they said, then they will now teach their russian students in ukrainian literature translated into russian. this is where colonization is called. this is such a cunning way. we are taking funds from russian departments that used to promote russian literature in the west. this is a good cultural and political move, so to speak . well, we have finished with the issue of literature, but i think we will continue it and further, because these cases will be repeated, now we will move on to other topics briefly so the movie dovbush i think you have already watched this movie by lesya sanin, you had time to enjoy it and the movie was announced to the producer who became the most beautiful

feature film of 20-23, i emphasize that it is not the highest-grossing in the history of ukrainian cinema. not the highest-grossing feature film in 2023, namely a feature film, it has collected uah 43 million in four weeks so far, it will collect even more, i'm sure because the rental is still ongoing if you haven't watched it by all means, do it, it is one of the most expensive films produced by us, our directors , our authors, it is worth 120 million uah, and i will say that it is the highest-grossing film, for sure. in principle, mavka is ukrainian, and she collected, i'm not mistaken, almost 200 million, this is an amount that, to be honest, even the most optimistic forecasts could not have predicted, even the best forecasters - this is some kind of super sum, and i already think that someone will beat it soon because it's just

very, very much money, in general, many people did not think that in principle , even an american blockbuster can raise so much in the ukrainian market. imagine such cool results. well, it also became known about the most beautiful documentary we became him became the film 20 days in mariupol well, of course, this film earned 500,000 uah at the box office and four such excellent sums that documentaries and ogre films cartoons can collect, you have to take this into account, you also see that 500,000 for a documentary is a lot and very cool and also 20 days in mariupol claims to have already claimed from ukraine for oscar i emphasize not nominated many others say so no nominations we will find out sometime in the winter in february and now he is just claiming but the decision is ours the skeliv committee that selected the films is extremely correct from my point of view, because this

film has a huge chance to really get into the nomination. awards and , most importantly, a lot of audience recognition is extremely positive in the summer from people and viewers all over the world, you can check it there on the most popular aggregators, so those who are engaged in this collect reviews and there is rotin they will wash or imdby, there are such websites and there you can read a lot of good things about this tape, they bombed yes well, i will also tell you about another film that i should watch, it is freely available , it is called children who will never be warned, the film is difficult will be for many viewers because it talks about the murders

of our ukrainian children by the russian military . meters, the film tells about ten-year-old kateryna yunatska, about 12-year-old vladyslav magdyk, and about mykhailo ustyanivskyi, who was only 15 years old, they were killed by the russian military, and the authors set themselves the goal of proving that these murders were not accidental, as happens in war, they happened by chance there, in some kind of shootout, not a second one proves that these are systematic murders and that they were done on purpose

, on purpose to cause the death of a child and still do these actions can already be considered a deliberate action and also the authors remind that more than 500 children have already died at the hands of the russian military and this film should not turn them into statistics and give these three children they are already in this film are shown as personalities whose lives were interrupted and whose dreams were interrupted and did not come true. and along with them, the other children did not have time to live it, of course, it is terrible, but on the other hand, it is good that this film is in the english version, that is why on the website of kyiv independt they are the producers you can find an english-language version of this film and share it with your friends abroad, and if you do not speak english well or do not

speak english, there is this film on the website of ukrainian truth . and they cut off the entire perimeter of the alley and shoot. so everything is normal. also, the ukrainian film euro donbas was released . people who are interested in our cinema have been waiting for it for a very long time. it was directed by korniy hrytsyuk. this film seems to me to be he is one of the most talented authors of documentary films, which at the same time is popular, which is watched by fans of co-actor movies and the mass audience of euro donbass. he talks about the ukrainian donbass and destroys the myth about the soviet donbass. the myth that the soviet union brought industrialization there. when there was still no ussr, when in donbas, more precisely

in luhansk region, in donetsk region, yes. yes, it is more warm to say so. probably , many businessmen from different countries brought their investments there. there were also americans and belgians the germans , the french, the americans, the british also built a lot of different factories there, and that is why it is not the merit of the soviet union at all . i was sure since 1954, and the french and hospitals built it all in the 19th century, they brought money and advanced technologies, the first hospitals and parks in mariupol were built by the americans, the first cinemas were opened when they did not exist, for example, in kyiv

belgian germans founded about 100 settlements, which the soviet authorities turned into model villages with large enterprises. also earlier, kornii hrytsyuk shot the film kyiv train kyiv - war. he told about the story he used to travel to his home in donetsk region. he got on this train and i just started filming people and their thoughts. they were so different and it was so interesting to watch it all and to realize that there are people who are absolutely ukrainian, there are people who are simply under the influence of propaganda, nothing is wrong with them you will do or you can drink because it is optimistic to think that no, after all, it is possible to convey some truth to these people over the years. the president fed the whole of ukraine, and also his friends serhiy zhadan and the dogs released a new clip

called hurricanes, the presentation took place in a new pathos or stylish famous in the noise i don't know how to call cool famous in short bookshops are beautiful, what is the name of radit and scandalous, the word scandalous must be used in relation to this book, the premiere was held there, there was an incredible number of people, well, it is clear that it is serhiy zhadana hlib shot the music video , antonio luki shot it, or who do i think you are too you know, this is his first music video . i also hope that you, in his film luxemburg and luxemburg and my thoughts, have also seen those. if you haven't seen them, they are also legally available. well , this famous music video tells about the rogan residential quarter in kharkiv, my native city. the city, or rather the place where serhiy zhadan studied. and here is the film about kocher, the video tells musically about a boy whose bicycle was stolen by a bandit, but the boy did not lose his mind, gathered his friends and bought off

this bandit, of course, the ending of the clip is quite harsh, so in many it may seem like it, but you know the truth. you don't need to touch, you don't need to steal other people's bikes in the yard, hooligans, where is it? we're all sold, not that we're ready. you're going . at the request of our quarters, i'm fine. thank you. what's up, friends? culture, we will follow in particular the literary life of ukraine, it is extremely interesting. i sometimes even for people who have never been interested in literature to be interested in and read ukrainian writers , we actually have a lot of interesting literature , scandals. i am sure that interest is fueled , in particular, for sure. have a calm evening and at night

, be sure to stay with espresso and see you. greetings, dear viewers, this is the news with you on eva melnyk, and i will start with the military of the russian federation in the kherson region mykolaivka was attacked with a drone, explosives were dropped on a 78-year-old man, he lost part of his arm and was wounded in the chest of the wounded in the oleg hospital. the regional military administration reported that the zaporizhzhya npp remains mined. this was confirmed by the director of megaterafel, mariano grossi, during a tour of the nuclear power plant . the team of the international nuclear safety agency recorded that the second and fifth power units are the last of the cold shutdown and the sixth is in the state of
