for smart and caring people in the evening with espresso. kanal espresso and ukrainian pen present a project of their own name with myroslaya barchuk. a series of conversations with ukrainian and western intellectuals who analyze and comment on the most relevant social debates. 10 for espresso. espresso - interesting facts. for 10 years of existence of the tv channel. espresso published more than 220,000 news items, in 10 years the espresso tv channel was on the air for 3,652 days, or 87,648 hours. these are experiencing now. this is a very difficult question, even for those who have been professionally working with history for many years by memory in fact, it is important that it passes.

time, so that there is a historical distance, it is important to document, and since we are in the middle, our grandchildren will really reflect, to whom we will hand over this, briefcase, flash drives, i don’t know, there is this evidence and they will already understand what happened, so what we find from the war, we are all victims of the war, but there is one important nuance here, we are not ashamed to talk about what is happening, because from that experience, for example, we learned by reading about the holocaust, about the holodomor, people they were afraid to talk, they were afraid to tell about it, even there to their relatives and friends, and it took many years for the grandchildren to start asking. we tell everything that happens to us, we support each other for our common stability, not to close in on ourselves and talk, talk, talk, the more talking we pass on to the next generations for reflection.

so much the better, this time we have to do everything we can so that our descendants learn the lessons of these events well, and also that the aggressor is convicted, the words are never spoken again with an empty password. there is a large array of photographs that show life in deportations, prisons , or even number plates. unfortunately, history does not always teach, but in principle one must learn from one's mistakes, in fact what people experienced in those times, well, if we are talking about, for example, the communist regime, then this is all very, very similar to what is happening now, the nkkvadists, that is, the current fsbnists, kgbsts, and therefore here you can see these historical parallels, at least understand the reasons why events are unfolding. not even sleep once

they gave, forced to arrange at night, long live the eighth company of russia, those who did not show interest for 2-3 days, those who , as it were, in my case, here the guys were the same truushniks, atushniks, they stayed for a long time, my wife was here alone, he hung in a mobile state in handcuffs for a day, his hands were completely cut off, which is very similar to stalinsky or some other tycoon, now we are watching the very picture that putin's regime is already transforming from a car into a totalitarian, real one a totalitarian regime, the same as in stalin 's time, you can see it, almost one to one, if you entered the cell, you had to shout, precisely shout, glory to russia, glory to putin, glory to shay, practically every day they came out to sing the national anthem, sing together separately, according to terms.

the communist soviet regime was not condemned, it was not said that it was a crime, and therefore it continues to live , yes, that is, the final point was not set, these older people, they sometimes even come to talk to us, but they are still afraid, they they are afraid that someone will punish them for it, yes, you have so much freedom to live the life you want, drive, speak the language you want, we didn't have that. that is why all of us, each in his place, must work for victory, even if we have to do something that we have never done before or even planned, we went to uzhhorod to find out if this chain of nakas has arrived, and your car is on service, well, the type is already at work. come on, i

'll go to the old man's place first, and then to yours, okay, come on, my name is andrii lyubka, i am a ukrainian writer, translator and now a volunteer, my now. the current main activity is the revival of the car market in the uk, in the purchase of cars for the war zone and transfer by the official army unit, this is what i do all the time, and what is now my main and probably the most productive occupation. as a writer , andrii lyubka began to work on auto-tivs for the military. there is a separate story about this, worth at least. it started before easter last year on the 22nd with my call to my second, the key holiday in the transcarpathian cycle of holidays, we have our own specific culinary traditions for this holiday, despite the fact that , for example, i am an atheist, i

at least follow these culinary traditions, and the culinary tradition is that we prepare such a whole pig leg, which is called shouder, and we decided to send this transcarpathian unit, conditionally speaking, 100 kg of home-made imported sausage and 100 kg of pork leg so that they would have everything that will be here for easter, i then called him and said: listen, you are there, we are with friends have gathered, and he says, yes, but here there is such a problem that how to send, we do not have transport, accordingly, even to get from the point of our location to the nearest city, where there is a nova poshta there 40-50 km, it was unrealistic, accordingly , where to send this sausage. and we decided that we should buy such a jeep, it should have been done already, i decided to collect at least part of this amount simply on facebook, then i wrote this ad and after 5 minutes the phone started vibrating non-stop, you couldn't do anything open because new, new notifications came, i simply turned it off and when i turned it off in the morning,

there was money for two jeeps in the account. to ukraine a week ago, now it is being prepared, that is, it first comes here completely, raw, we don't know it, because since we buy cars that have been in use, this is always the biggest risk, because a car that has its history, a biography that is conventionally speaking 15 years old, she is like a person, she has a map of diseases, if she has already arrived, it means that she is already more or less alive, this good, but still it turns out to be a bunch of hidden or unhidden ones... flaws, minuses, flaws, glitches start to work, when it reaches a certain level, we paint it, we have a recognizable pixel, which you can basically follow anywhere and everywhere dear car, then my own, if they asked me what i want to do, i definitely don't want to do

cars, i drive a car, but it's not my passion, because if it was one car, then i would buy it, pass it on , loaded the sausage there and that would be the end of the matter. but since after this one cars, the first car arrived in donbas and a friend sent me a photo next to this car in uniform, i posted this photo again on facebook and said thank you, and 100 people wrote to me privately asking if i could help them from the car. in the first months there, i bought 20 cars, i decided that i should set myself such a goal and by the new year i should have 100 cars. and we achieved this goal. however, these were not at all the plans that... lyubka wanted to implement in 2022 as early as april 1, and then he was supposed to spend three months at a university in canada, and in fact, i it was almost a year, it meant that i would be abroad writing my historical novel , i don’t do that, i don’t write, i continue to write posts

on facebook, they mostly consist of three sentences: yuhuhu, i bought such and such a car, this is so -that's a brand, came from there, thank you all, here is the link, and although andriy does not write fiction yet, in 2022, his new book, something is wrong with me, was published, it is a collection of essays that was ready for publication before the full-scale invasion, and already issued during the great war. andriy lyubka had her support literary tour of the largest cities of ukraine. the writer also has speeches abroad, but in europe he does not talk about books , he tries to convey the truth about the events in ukraine and to reach europeans that the need to unite against the enemy is a very politically incorrect thing, like what i said about germany , about its role, about supporting culture, i.e., the time of cultural diplomacy in the sense that we all culturally sat down there, smiled, smiled and waved, passed, later, for example, we went on a tour of germany already in

in october, the general mood in germany changed, and they began to support us with weapons, and not only with pillows, and these performances were replaced, that is, the main message shifted to the approach of victory, it can be seen that the auto mechanics, see how many cars, we are driving , this is our ambulance, this is an example of what it looks like in practice, a person works in his garage, at home, an already repaired car will be delivered to the front line, very often andriy is in such a slightly different world, when you return from empty, in fact de-occupied territories where there are no people, where mainly the military themselves drive where they live. it is impossible to restore the activity, and when you see that there are coffee shops here, we had cherry blossoms at the end of april and like

, the center is closed because there are a lot of tourists and everyone is walking in crowds, taking pictures, well, to say that it is strange is nothing to say, i survived this burnout, but it helped me, for example, it is very scary, a lot of people, and with whom i communicated, during this year a lot of people died, they are no longer there, if you think about it and if - live it like this, how is it worth living, i don't know how to give advice this is psychological, at some point, that’s why i also stopped going to military funerals , because if it’s regular, it ’s impossible to endure it, and for me salvation is routine work, routine runs, the more i shower, but thanks to this i don’t think and not to allow yourself this time alone, so as not to look into this abyss, to keep psychologically... during the war, it is worth looking for light in people who are nearby and together help our

defenders go to victory, great, hello, hello, we are at the car service on atp in uzhhorod, made the first transcarpathian buggy, this is such a specific car , despite all the other cars that we buy , we also create, it is very nice, the carpathian bear is one, we already... handed it over to the colonel last fall, he serves in intelligence, during the winter max assembled and formed a new buggy, this is the carpathian bear 2. a buggy is a car that differs from other cars in principle due to its speed and convenience. the first car we tested, we tested it at a tank range where they can only tanks can pass. the war is felt, well, for example, in transcarpathia in such a small region, it is very acute, because

everyone knows everyone here, transcarpathia is the most rural region of ukraine, a significant part of the productive, active, healthy, male population was employed, people actually did not was in transcarpathia, because of this every family has someone who serves in the army, plus another aspect is the number of people who came to live in transcarpathia, the communities grew, it is also the need to learn how to live here together, another aspect that it seems interesting to me that transcarpathia has become one of those regions that show a fairly significant increase of hundreds of millions, when all others are falling, and this is important, because somewhere there must be that base that ee what budget... fills. the west of ukraine became its reliable

rear. all efforts are now aimed at driving the enemy out of the country. faith in victory and plans for the future give strength to continue the struggle. i really want to get back to writing, at least to get back to writing it all down. and to record is not there, happened counteroffensive, nancy pelosi flew to where she flew to taiwan, but to write down what is being forgotten. and what no one will ever write about, about some everyday things , this is what this war and life during the war looks like from the inside, to write down people's phrases, to write down some funny situations, i don't know, these are funny, they are the closest to me, because i have always loved shveika, i have always loved, for me , central europe, one of the shapers for central europe is humor, it is common humor. the glory of the nation, we are death to enemies, we are ukraine above all, and he is like that, he says, guys, we are collecting goodies, and it looks so patriotic. young man, i say for whom, he says, for himself, a good sense of humor

is characteristic of ukrainians, this became especially noticeable during the war, perhaps our new literature will have its shveik or ostap cherry of the new time. it seems that not only ukrainians are waiting for their appearance, but also the world. time to collect stones, yes, we collect experiences. then, later, we will somehow rework it all, omit it, form it into texts, but it will happen sometime and later, besides, this is probably the time of the greatest success of the ukrainian literature abroad, a bunch of invitations, a bunch of translations, a bunch of buying rights. in abroad and so on and so on , i.e. a lot of attention, we have never had so much, for example, it appeared in my time, it was not me who was looking for it, it will continue, there will be a trend that will last 10-15 years , i think we can see this by the example of balkan literature after the balkan wars, when media interest is transformed into a certain fashion, when

books about the war will appear, we will be read and then there will be a surge of tourism to ukraine, people will want to see these places. with our own eyes, this is what we see in the balkans, for the last 20 years, what awaits us ahead after victory, and support. it was in the west of ukraine, where a large number of displaced people had settled since the first days of the invasion, that cultural events were quickly restored, such as the one staged in the courtyard of the frankiv theater, where people could not only experience air anxiety, but also participate in artistic activities. i am deeply convinced that theater, in particular art in general... can have a therapeutic function and heal people, and i want to the land of the whole family,

guests will lie down. performances in the shelter were also organized in chernivtsi. we visited this city to find out how the war changed the local theatrical life. congratulations. chernivtsi, kobylyanskyi drama theater. actually, here is olga kobylyanska, and our wonderful main. the premises of the theater, but i will show you something more interesting, you have to go there a little, the city of chernivtsi, like uzhhorod, was not densely populated before the full-scale invasion, and after february 24, a lot of people from all over the country found shelter here, as a theater

respond to all these changes in the city and in the country? this will be. the theater was built 120 years ago and all this time it functioned exactly as a theater building, but in the same period a workshop for the theater was also built, this is the creative laboratory where they actually made scenery, props, sewed costumes, and here in that space now we have also created a platform in which we can additionally implement theater projects. the question arose, which repertoire, or is it time to create a new one, at the request of a thirsty request. i already had music by oleg kadanov, this one from kharkiv the artist is my friend, and this music resonated with me in relation to the theme, and already under it , i understand exactly who will play from the actors, which

elements of this hall we will use the window under the patron wrote the play, which at the expense of this, that everything was predicted, we could implement it in a month, young family, everything related to the war, it is always very close, but it does not shout, it does not work as in some such propaganda format, in a poster format, it simply triggers in their mutual relations , and because of these main characters, we already are

we include ourselves and can draw some analogies. to bring the viewer to the fact that it is not separate, together with the war, children are born , people fall in love, and it has not stopped, it is there, but at the same time it is not separate from the war. i understand that it is a good thing that we did not take goethe's faust in the original and put it on stage. where everyone, knowing the plot, just watched, we have an alternative version, we have our own unique plot in this, and the audience cannot predict what is happening, but the language we use to communicate with them, it is born now, don't forget, when you get up from the desert, who repulsed this anxiety

, who sowed the black earth with enemies, who sweetened the song of the sirens, who is still with us in memory, victoria. don't forget and correctly, well, as usual in plays, as well as in cinema and in literature, the bad characters of that mephistopheles in our country, for example, who is called mephisto in our country, are also remembered, this is a big gambling field for him, this is the territory where it is possible for him to embody a lot of... manipulations with people, what is the truth now, what are the values ​​that are real now, you still you hear, that person sneezes, i'm just starting

to think about a visit to you, how the whole planet is filled with opportunities, offering him to feel like a winner, he announces, a delegation, representatives of the government of ukraine. aggressors who are ready to sign the act of surrender. mephistopheles offers faust to become the signatory and this great savior, this historical figure who will bring victory to ukraine, but he does not find an answer in this, or how we can compare the joy of victory with the evil that has already happened and is happening. whether we can be again at that point of happiness after the victory, well, our faust, he

didn't, he didn't believe in it, remember dumich, when you were with yourself, the question of what happiness is in our realities becomes even more interesting for us . that's why he offers faust to turn back time and find himself in the pre-war era, but it turns out that the problems that were on the personal front, they simply cannot be solved much earlier than in 2014. we often want to think about such a thing in some historical moments. alternative history, and what if it it would go one way or the other, you can do it in the theater, gather yourself in a heap, you yourself can see that my child is dying, my wife, i

can’t look myself in the eyes, even i didn’t fire a single beam shot and i just cover my ears , i plug my ears all my life, maybe i have a congenital contusion, i in the finale of the play we see that this story, this is the delusion of a ukrainian prisoner of war, how because of the physical and mental pressure, torture, he fights for himself, he fights for his family, for his values, and he does not break down, and we already have reviews, feedbacks, to achieve the point that, despite the complexity of the topic , no one rejects this issue, that is, there is no such thing as why you raise it, it is so difficult for us, it’s just that someone else gets involved, someone

may have reactions,
