this must be fixed, i saw that not everyone was active, then it seemed to me that anton was also in a certain stupor, when i saw that the first lines appeared from him, it seemed that it would be very important now busy with what you know how to do best, that's how the musicians began to create together, and later presented their repertoire to the public. you say i don't look good, my complexion and hair are stale, i agree with that, my friend, but how can i look the same when the sleeping districts are ironed with rockets, when peaceful buildings are hit with cannons, and i was also targeted and destroyed somewhere on the 24th or 25th, it's all about pain, about hope, about that whirlwind of emotions, and everyone probably feels it,

the red cross is on vacation, we hold an encouraging competition in the warehouses, like children create an anti-war picture, with tracks about the complex emotions of wartime, andriy and anton perform at charity concerts in various cities of ukraine, including front-line and de-occupied cities. cannot be compared with anything, for example, the feeling when you perform in kherson, after he was fired, with what kind of eyes do people look at it there, i would give an example, probably kharkiv, kharkiv, yes , chernihiv, well, in short, all these beaten cities, humiliated, by russians, in many of these cities, these were the first... in general, any public

events since february 24 22, so they took everything, it's just some kind of revelation, when you come to a city that is closest to the border and suffers from constant artillery attacks, but when you go in, you see those people on the square, and that spirit that rages there, he is so strong, he is like that very. only evil is evil in a good way and well, then i think so damn kharkiv is very powerful and it does not destroy the most important thing , they will be responsible for all the destroyed houses and factories, shopping centers and tv stations, so a lot depends on us too. the lyrics

tell stories about how the war changed us, which became our new reality. for the authors themselves, the described experience also became a turning point. on february 24, like many people, the world will be divided into black and white, for yourself inside you simply decided that you will not be able to cut everything in one fell swoop, because you you're bleeding, but you want to... have a minimum in common with the barbarians who come here to rob, rape and kill, on one of the first days, i transferred all my internet communication, and since it makes up the majority of my communication, to ukrainian, i warned my parents about it, they treated it normally. anton slipakov also previously used russian. both in creativity and in everyday life.

of course, we didn't switch at the same time, that's all, we communicate only in ukrainian, but gradually, gradually, it became more environment, more people with whom you communicate, many more people who wanted to help you with this, just as gradually the musician began to cooperate with ukrainian-language projects and create in ukrainian. in the 16th year, the center invited dovzhenko to make a soundtrack for the film arrest warrant. and then i asked oleksandr mihed to help me adapt all the literary part that we use in this film. he adapted everything very well. and already in the reference album, which we started working on in the 17th year, we finally started appear ukrainian texts in which i simply felt. some more stable soil, what i can,

i can, now the musicians themselves are ready to share the experience of the transition to ukrainian and sincerely support others in this. are you listening, are you here? yes, we know distance and angle, we can know height, range, angle, height, protect people, defend cities, stop, you have already flown away, stop and count enough, communicate more, read ukrainian, translate all your gadgets into ukrainian, in everyday life to speak ukrainian, understanding that russian now can really traumatize some people, it's just respect for all other ukrainians who are now with you in one or another space, well, in transport, on the street and so on.

just a year ago, it seemed like it was possible to release some tracks, write lyrics, shoot a movie, now look, some books have already been announced, some films have already been shot, there are whole albums, that means this process is happening, artists are working, the existence of culture during the war in general, there is a very important function, because when a person surpasses something other than biological, he begins to create its certain identity, some... identity of this people living in this territory. the first thing the invaders who come to our lands do, what they do, they cross out the letter i in the name of mariupol and put russian there, they burn books, this is

very eloquent, because they very precisely cut out the meaningful component, the cultural component itself. the essence of ukrainianness for the people who live here, if it is so important for our enemy to destroy our identity, i do not understand why the people who live on this the territory of the ukrainian people, the issue of preservation and open culture, even during the war, remains an issue, there are some physical things, such as the preservation of the territory, and there is the preservation of meanings. squeaky tabs, but bring the culture of withdrawal to the end, buy the first post-war book. according to the musicians , it is important not only to realize the negative influence of russian culture, but also to get rid of the feeling of inferiority in relation to ukrainian possessions. for

many years, ukrainian culture was in the shadow of russian culture, because there is much of it stronger, it is much more influential. this is how it happened historically and for many years it dominated, very often ukrainian musicians were invited to warm up russian headliners, because they had to be present at all concerts, festivals, dj parties, because of course, it's cool to bring them from somewhere, our well, they are always there, you can always call them last, but now we have a unique opportunity. finally, to get rid of this influence of the grandiose, which has been built up for millennia, it is necessary to use it, varniakanya project continues to capture complex and painful emotions in candid songs, as well as

to collect concerts. yes, these scratches and rust will always be with me to my great regret. artists during war, if they have something to say, they shouldn't be silent, but they should share it, we don't stop working on our victory, we can't get tired, we can't switch gears, because the victory is still very, very far away, but it is definitely it will be, glory to ukraine, goodbye, friends, have a quiet, calm evening, we will definitely see each other. it seemed to me that now is a bit out of time, well, to engage in creativity in its pure form, but i was told by documentary film directors that they do not think, they just take out a camera and start filming everything that is happening around, well, i acted like this by the method itself. if musicians record

feelings in songs, then cameramen and directors create documentary video evidence of modern times. we also talked to masters of this genre. this is a miracle of interaction between art and its viewer, you felt it and it was born, then how our activities affect actual reality. the passing red viburnum will raise our glorious, this is the footage of babylon 13, a creative association that arose from the first days of the revolution of dignity and became a mirror of these events for ukrainians and the world in general. the concept was the first time we were doing it to let the world see what it really was. what is happening here, we are primarily talking about people, about the household component, the social

component, during the maidan there, and what will it tell the world there that it is not some radicals there or there, well, because it is we show ordinary people, yes, and you yourself are from there, and when we decided that we had to go there , when we were beaten by a student, literally because of... it became clear that in fact what we do is primarily needed by these people, who are on the square, that is, they see themselves, and what they do is perceived in a completely different way. babylon 13 artists helped protestors make sense of their experiences. it helped many not to lose faith and move forward towards a common goal. on the one hand, there are reports of some kind, and on the other hand, they see themselves as a part of some

reality that has already happened, some document of some cultural space of this maidan, and because of this they perceive themselves differently. babylon 13 has been around for almost 10 years, now they have recognition in the world of cinema and continue to release films about the russian-ukrainian war. we have such a rally, we have installers here, we have a place there where we store equipment, a place where we built a server, after all, it is very powerful. from the first days of the war in eastern ukraine in 2014, documentaries babylon 13 was filled with the course of hostilities. on february 24, we were, i would say, a sect of war witnesses, that is, we were talking about it, the work of babylon. was primarily directed at what was happening in the east, and there was a war there, which was first called ato,

then oos, that is, these were processes that, for the most part, society, well, somehow it was not ready to talk about it very much , and this was a big problem, that problem, it turned out to be many problems that actually exist now, and actually we were doing what we said, there war, kill there, there are such problems, then it’s like here they will be injured, it’s people who fought there, they are here now, that is, this process has always existed for us, and the threat of russian aggression, it’s not the same as it was for us , if it was obvious, we knew it would happen on february 24, when the russian full-scale invasion began. artists from babylon-13 not only worked as documentarians, but also helped the armed forces. many guys who are now

engaged in the fact that they work with drones, zsu. all these stories began with this one rooms, they literally leaned here, got into the car and drove specifically to irpin, well , they already flew to irpin, looked at the beach. to gostomel, that is, they worked there with our armed forces, they were informed that there is actually a lot of footage from drones, which we use very often to this day, when we make some documentaries , about buchu, about what is connected with the similar one near kyiv, and actually at that time it was very important to understand that what you see from above, that's why all these examples were printed equipment of the russians and so that... you could understand from above that this is a nona, this is an armored personnel carrier, this

is a tank, you understand, and then in turn it became clear that on the one hand you are flying, and the russians are also flying, and they have there are also many of their bplla, and how they look, that you also need to know that, as it was hung then, so it hangs, because it is, in principle, such a cultural layer of such an existence of babylon 13, yes, my friend, you are here, what is your name, it was we who went with the cameramen, precisely in the direction of bakhmut, and he worked there. with several brigades, i.e. traveled, took their medical records this stabilization point, this is already the material that was previously filmed by yaroslav pilunsky, a native of babylon, now an employee of the armed forces, works in intelligence, and he also filmed it near kharkov. our father, let the kingdom, and

power, and your will be, if only they would not shoot at us. we are now making screen adaptations, already the understanding of what is happening by the fighters themselves, this is their reflection, yes, which we can scale more due to the fact that it will be read by a classy professional actor, actress, in order to bring all the living and healthy people alive and well, very cool operator, this will shoot some kind of indirect allegory of some kind of combat plots. the music will be written by some great anton baibakov, a film composer, and all this will give birth to a certain already synthesized, small film, if it were not for you, valkyrie and their shovel would have been late for you, kolya, pasha, and even vitya,

who arrived on time for the first summer parties , would have been late lessons from the old woman. when in the village of holoskovych, full managers, we work with already finished works, we probably have our own such a small team there, there are 20 people, where there is something there ideas are shared, something is published, someone there again brings a poem zhadana, let's zhadana , we say no, we agreed that it won't happen, everything will be just like this story from the earth, not from some stars there, but from ordinary people , who do it because they just can't help but write it. he moved to bucha in the middle of march 2021. he rented a small apartment in tsokola and got a cat whose fur was the color of a éclair. he went to the gym and confession for english. he loved

watching the snow fall and disappear in the mist street. these shots have quite a lot. it is also a tool for preserving our historical memory, we know that they stole it, they killed ukraine, they tried to destroy it, and they succeeded very successfully, there are millions, millions of people, just starving, there, again after all, just without weapons to attack some people there during the second world war, that is, it was very successful. from the point of view of the effectiveness of what russia did in relation to the ukrainians, as a genocide, years will pass, but still, it is some kind of sacred thing that they will not be able to get rid of, they, they have to destroy ukraine, because ukraine, which exists outside the cultural russian context, is the death of russia in their heads,

as if tattooed on the cross, the number 457 is mourned here. eternal memory. our psyche tries to push out the most terrible memories, this is a natural defense mechanism that at the same time prevents us as a nation from learning the lessons of the past, and perhaps right now, consciously living the darkest pages of our history, we finally have a chance to throw off the yoke of russian influence. our independence is proven she. suffered, it was repulsed against the enemy, and this is essentially the fact that one way or another , it destroyed the idea of ​​the russian world, imperialism, we understand, it does not literally happen like that, yes, that today this idea of ​​ours was destroyed, and then immediately russia collapses there, but this process

will continue there for who knows what years, probably, the situation is the same in this case that we survived and we survived. in any case, maybe the territories that were there in 1991 will not be incomplete, but when ukraine became independent received, but ukraine will, it will be the winner in this situation, in this war, two people removed all the glass from the conservatory, and two others put it in its place, and this, well, i see it every day, but still, it is a surprise to me that two people did it all by themselves, well, that's just fantastic. to hold on and continue the struggle in the midst of grief, pain and loss is a very difficult task. documentary stories about the present help. to maintain focus in this maelstrom of events, documentary, it seems to be a reflection of reality, but in fact it is builds this reality

, it is, as it were, a form of influence on the future, because after a certain time , the right documentary film is the main thing that proves the existence of this past, with the floor of euromaidan babylon-13 established itself as an institution that continues to work for ukrainians. these almost 10 years were a powerful impetus for the development of not only ukrainian civil society, but also culture. for example, this mural also arose as a reflection on events. revolution of dignity, it was created in 2016 by the artist volodymyr manches. the lower part is local the ukrainian context, and the upper part is

like a global one. spectators first of all pay attention to the knocked-down tank with the inscription " kyiv" and the snake with putin's head. there is a western clock, a tv, there a man turns into a monkey, and then he is already a monkey with a car. robs russian-speaking people and looks for bandera, a lot of symbols, one is no longer relevant, that cossack, naked, barefoot with a bow and arrows, is no longer like that, already well equipped, but then he was like that, volodymyr manches painted graffiti for a long time, and created the first mural in it was in yalta in 2004 a wall where there were just two characters. volodymyr manches was a member of the street art group interesting tales together with oleksiy bordusov. together, they have created more than 100 works around the world, debuting at an exhibition in

miami. the team was called kids, that is , two letters ik, and we somehow came up with the idea that these letters would be left, but that they would be deciphered in a different way, as if reflecting what we were drawing. this is how interesting tales appeared, it was 2005, muralists worked a lot abroad, in spain, italy, germany, india, mexico, brazil, usa, denmark and australia? there were always, well, if there were two authors, both oleksiy and i, had some objects of our own, from which we composed the plot, it was not the case that there was someone who was the main one, and someone who was just performing. work, volodymyr calls the interesting fairy tales project a collaboration between two independent artists, who later became

cramped. since 2016, the artists have been working separately. volodymyr mandos is in great demand as an artist in the world, but he lives in kyiv and has his studio here. i try to come here before 10 and i work somewhere until 7. until 158. well, that's what i we exchanged with other artists because someone gave, for example, when i was working in paris, we exchanged works with pierce brosnan. volodymyr met the actor pierce brosnan in the paris lithographic studio, where picasso, miró, and matisse used to visit. volodymyr also sometimes works here when he has projects in paris. one of these was recently. his idea is precisely

for artists to paint on the walls of schools. and again, since there is a war in my country, i can't, just kind of. although there are locals, parisians asked to remove all the details that reminiscent of war. but i will still leave it, for example, well... it’s like earth, it’s on fire , here’s a crack, where’s russia, here’s an embroidery in the form of a trident, well, just if the letters, everyone doesn’t understand, it says victory , well, to put it together, volodymyr manches started with graffiti, then worked a lot on murals, later on lithographs, bronze figurines, painting and relays, should he...' experiment in creativity? i work very selectively with morals, it has not been my main activity for a long time, but first

war, i think that this is a very good way, through the mural, to declare to the whole world , to draw attention to what is happening in ukraine, this project was with the european parliament, a year ago, i finished it, well, in principle, there is no need to explain anything, too everything is obvious, during the full-scale invasion, volodymyr created two murals abroad, in poland and france, in october 2022 a new mural appeared in kyiv on podil. this mural started an international project, within the framework of which they want to create murals in support of ukraine back in 22 countries of the world. in these artistic acts, it is very important not to go beyond the limits of what is permissible and to have empathy for human grief. there is such a term in tritart, in graffiti vorturm, when artists go and paint on the ruins and

use it for pr. well, i just imagine that some western artist would come to the ruins of my studio and paint something there , i think it would look a bit like looting, but banksy, it's such a big brand, a name, very famous in the world, that he can , let's say that whatever he is, wherever he is drew, in principle, for the benefit of ukraine, and this is how everyone in the world knows ben. and what he drew on the ruins, i think many saw for the first time what is happening in ukraine in general. there are 15% discounts on hepargin at podorozhnyk, bam and oskad pharmacies. what, vasya, i drank an antibiotic, it hurt your tummy, and you girls, how and how, how after the antibiotic, how , how, how, how, there are discounts on nasoferon 10%. in

podorozhnyk, bam tashchad pharmacies. events, events that are happening right now and affect our lives. of course, the news feed reports about them, but little is known about what happens. it is necessary to understand. antin borkovskii and invited experts soberly assess the events. analyze them by modeling our future, every saturday at 1:00 p.m. with a repeat at 10:00 p.m. studio zahid with anton borkovsky at espresso. verdict by the outcast rudenko, from now on in a new two-hour format. even more analytics, even more important topics, even more top guests: foreign experts, inclusion from abroad, about ukraine, the world, the front, society, and even feedback, you

but almost as much as art projects and exhibitions , enemy attacks directed at ukrainian museums and theaters draw attention to ukrainian culture, telling the world again and again: russia is a terrorist state. we are talking about the ivankiv museum of history and local lore, where, in particular, the masterpieces of the ukrainian artist maria prymachenko were stored. this museum was destroyed by the invaders on the second day of the full-scale war.

this yes, the museum, it is divided. in fact, in two parts with...
