[000:00:00;00] said the sect of the witnesses of the war, that is, we did about it , the creativity of babylon was primarily directed to what was happening in the east, and there was a war, which was called there first ato, then oos, that is, these were processes that, for the most part, society, well, somehow it wasn't ready to talk about it very much, and that, well , that was the problem of leaders, that problem was... a lot of problems arose that actually exist now, and actually, we, we were doing what we they said no, there is a war there, kill there, there it is such problems, that’s right, here is the post-traumat, these are the people who fought there, they are here now , that is, this process always existed for us, and the threat of russian aggression, it ’s not what it was to us, if it was obvious, we knew

that it will. on february 24, when the full-scale russian invasion began, artists from babylon-13 were not only working as documentarians, but also helping the armed forces. many guys who are now engaged in the fact that they work with drones of the armed forces, all these stories began from this very room, they literally leaned here, got into the car and drove, specifically to irpin, well, they already flew to irpin, looked at bucha, at gostomel, that is, they worked with our armed forces there, they were informed that where it is hiding, in fact, there is a lot of footage from drones, which we use very often before still during the time when we make some documentaries about the bucha, about what is connected with it, i went to a pod near kyiv, and actually at that time it was very important to understand that what you

see from that, all these examples of russian technology were printed and so that you can understand from above that this is nona, this is the bmp, this tank, you understand, and then in turn it became clear that on the one hand you fly, and the russians also fly, and they also have a lot of their uavs, and what they look like, that you also need to know how they hung, then that’s how it is and it hangs, because it is basically such a cultural layer, as if the existence of it was on the 13th, yes, my friend, you are here, ugh, what is your name, it was we who went with the operators, precisely in the direction of bakhmut, and there we worked with several brigades, that is, we traveled filmed their medical this stabilization point, this is already material which was previously photographed by yaroslav pilunskyi,

a native of vyvilyn. now an employee of the armed forces works in intelligence, and he was still filming near kharkov. our father, may the kingdom and power and your will be, even if they don't shoot at us, we are now making film adaptations, already the understanding of what is happening by the soldiers themselves, well, this is their reflection, yes, which we can scale more due to the fact that , that everything will be read there by a classy professional actor, actress, so that everyone who is alive and well will be delivered alive and well. a very cool cameraman will shoot something there an indirect allegory of combat plots, the music will be written by some great film composer anton baibakov, and all this gives birth to a certain already synthesized such a small

film. if not smaller, rolls. and their shovel would have been late for you, kolya, pasha, and even vitya would have been late, who came on time for the first days of the lessons of the old school in the village of holoskovychi, we are gluttonous, we work with ready-made works, we have a certain one of our own there a small team, there are 20 men, where they share something, ideas, something is published, someone there again brings the 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 are they do because they can't just write it, he moved to bucha in the middle of

march 2021, rented a small apartment. in the plinth and got a cat, whose fur was the color of fondant on an eclair. he went to the gym and confession for english. he loved to watch the snow and fog fall. does not disappear street. these footage are of great value as evidence of the war crimes of the russian occupiers. also, it is a tool for preserving our historical memory. we know that they stole it , they killed ukraine, they tried to destroy it, and they were very successful, there are millions, millions of people, just starving there, again, just without weapons to throw at ... some there were assaults during the second world war, that is, it was very successful from the point of view of overall effectiveness of what russia did in relation to the ukrainians, as 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, on the cross like a tattoo. number 457 rests here. eternal memory. our psyche tries to push out the most horrific memories , it 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... our independence, it has been proven, it has been tested, it has been repulsed against the enemy, and this is in fact the fact that one way or another it a priori destroyed the idea of ​​the russian world, imperialism, we understand, this is not

literally the case it is happening, yes, that today this idea of ​​ours was destroyed, and then immediately russia is falling apart there, but this process will continue there for damn it, i know it for years. probably, the situation in this case is that we survived and we will survive in any way, maybe not completely, but the territories will not be the ones that were there in 1991, yes, when ukraine gained independence, but ukraine will be, it will be the winner in this situation, in this war. two persons removed all the glass from the conservatory, and two others put it in place, and this, i see it every day. but still , it's a surprise to me that two people did it all by themselves. well, this, this is 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 cinema, it seems to exist a reflection of reality, but in fact it builds this reality, it is like a form of influence on the future, because after a certain time , the right documentary is the main thing that proves the existence of this past. from the flames of the 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 the events of the revolution of dignity. it was created in 2016 by the artist volodymyr manches. the lower part is a local ukrainian context, and the upper part is a global one. first of all, viewers pay attention to the knocked-out tank with the inscription "kyiv" and the snake with putin's head. there is an hourglass, a tv, there a man turns into a monkey, and then the monkey robs russian-speaking people with a machine gun and is looking for bandera. there are many 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 there was one. volodymyr manches painted graffiti for a long time, and the first he created the mural in 2004 in yalta. it was

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 created more than 100 works around the world, debuting at the exhibition in mamag. the team was called engineers kids, well, that is, ik is two letters, and we somehow came up with the idea that these letters would be left, but to decipher them in a different way, already if reflecting what we drew, so interesting fairy tales appeared, it was 2005- and year, the 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 our own objects from which we composed the plot. it was not the case that someone was

the boss, and someone was just doing some work. volodymyr calls the interesting fairy tales project a collaboration between two independent artists, who later became cramped. since 2016 , the midts have been working separately. volodymyr manches 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 work somewhere until the 7th, until the 15th, well, this is what i and other artists exchanged, or someone gave, for example, when i was working in paris, i exchanged works with pierce brosnan, with the actor pierce brosnan in the paris lithographic studio, where at one time we visited

picasso, miró, matisse. 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 some, albeit local, parisians asked to clean up there. all the details that they remind me of war, but i will leave it anyway, for example, well, this is like the earth, it is burning , here is a crack, where is russia, here is embroidery in water, in the form of a trident, and just as if the letters, everyone does not understand, it is written victory, well, to sum it up, volodymyr manches started with graffiti, then worked a lot on murals, later on litoga.

bronze figurines, paintings and relays, he likes to experiment in creativity. i work very selectively with morals, it has not been my main activity for a long time, but first war, i believe that this is a very good way, through the mural, to declare to the whole world, to return attention to what is happening in ukraine. this project was with the european parliament, a year ago, it was with well, in principle, there is no need to explain anything, everything is too obvious. during the full-scale invasion, volodymyr created two murals abroad, in poland and france, in october 2022 a new mural appeared in kyiv, in podil. this mural started an international project, within the framework of which they want to create murals in support of ukraine in 22 countries around the world. in... them in artistic acts, it is very important not to go beyond

the permissible limits and to have empathy for human grief. there is such a term vtorarti in graffiti vor tourism, 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 there , something, i think it would look a bit like looting, but... it's such a big name brand, very famous in the world that he can, let's say, that whatever he paints, wherever he paints, it is in principle, for the benefit of ukraine, and this is how everyone in the world knows banksy, and what he painted on the ruins, i think many people saw for the first time what is happening in ukraine in general, there are discounts on... karsil 15% in

pharmacies plantain, pam and oskad. in october 2023, the espresso tv channel holds the leadership in the top ukrainian informational tv channels. greetings to all viewers of espresso, it's time to learn about the most important thing of the minute. according to measurement data, viewers choose the ukrainian view from espresso. an informational marathon is underway on tv channel uso. we work for you. thank you ukrainians for trust espresso works for you. espresso celebrates its tenth anniversary in 2023. we are proud to present our new broadcast. stay tuned for an updated espresso, because despite everything, we stay in touch. the information hour on the espresso channel continues. our viewers, to whom we are infinitely grateful for their trust, are in touch with you. greetings, dear viewers, this is a great program on the espresso tv channel. espresso is 10 years old, we are developing and improving. well, we go further and

sunday: 17:10 at espresso. espresso - interesting facts. for 10 years of existence. espresso tv channel published more than 220,000 news items. for 10 years, the espresso tv channel was on the air for 3,652 days, or 87,648 hours. ukrainian culture draws attention almost as much as art projects and exhibitions. direct hits on ukrainian museums and theaters tell the world again and again: russia is a terrorist state. it is about the ivankiv museum of history and local lore, where, in particular, the masterpieces of the ukrainian

artist maria prymachenko were kept. this museum is in the second day of full-scale war destroyed by the invaders. this, yes, the museum, it is divided, well, in fact, into two, two parts, on this side, there were, if i am not mistaken, four rooms, yes, and that side, it was almost without partitions, and it started to burn just then side, the paintings of maria primachenko were miraculously saved, although in fact it was not a miracle, but the courage and heroism of local people, the paintings of maria primachenko were hidden here in the museum in advance, we knew where they were hidden. and therefore they were all pulled out at once and they were the first to be saved there were, of course, the paintings of maria primachenko, but then we carried out what we could, from this side we managed to carry almost everything in principle, and from the other side the projectile hit and

the hole was already visible, where the ash and the fire itself began to fall, here we must have at three, they broke these bars, it was lucky that the craftsmen did not install these bars according to the rules, otherwise we would not have been able to simply climb in there, well , you yourself understand, if they had been installed here according to the rules, we would have broken them with our bare hands b them, self-tapping screws were screwed in insulation, don't cry, don't cry, everything is fine, everything will be fine, it will all be rebuilt, it will get even better, yes, life is the most important thing, and the buildings almost destroyed maria vivankova's paintings, the world started talking about her again. and the family

fund was flooded with proposals for exhibitions of the artist's paintings in different countries. in the spring of 2022, at a charity auction in venice , maria's work was sold for 11,000 yen. later , they organized an auction at which they sold a picture saved from the museum destroyed by the occupiers: flowers grew near the fourth block. 5,000 dollars three, sold, for the proceeds, which is half a million dollars, 125 beads were purchased and transferred to the front. meanwhile, maria prymachenko's paintings conquered the world again in the czech republic and france. italy, as well as for the first time in india and

great britain. ukrainians are also rediscovering their culture. in september 2022, an exhibition of maria prymochenko's paintings saved in ivankov was presented in kyiv, and in the summer of 2023 , the exhibition maria paints was opened at the ukrainian house national center. they showed 100 paintings of the artist from the private collection of art critic eduard dymshyts. the slogan of this exhibition became the words of maria, so that people live as flowers bloom. such cultural events help to realize that life goes on, even during war. and yet, many cultural institutions have suspended exhibitions and removed their exhibits in order to preserve them. for example, one of the largest museums in kyiv,

the khanenko museum, which housed more than 2,500 exhibits before the invasion, is now literally empty. but instead of simply hiding the works of art, the museum team temporarily transferred them to different uses museums of the world. this was our policy. not to hide the collections, but to make as much as possible so that they are presented to western audiences, the more we talk about ourselves through culture and through art, for western audiences, the more heimers and patriots we have in our country, for some it is is not an obvious connection, but this connection is very direct in fact, because the lectureship... uh, in the western countries, it can support the actions of its politicians only

when it understands who we are. we are talking about the common ground of growth from which we came, whether it is byzantine culture, whether it is culture, medieval, or renaissance, we show that we look at the same things, and we grow from the same things, and our culture is ukrainian, it also grows in constant interaction with these. the world museum community came forward and many volunteered to support the ukrainian museum. the first to respond, even to invite themselves, was vilnius. and they are absolutely incredible. we will make five exhibition projects that will grow out of different types our collections. we work a little with the royal castle in warsaw. otherwise, some of our works are beginning to appear as an intervention in their exhibitions, they are marked, of course, there are already two works there, but

literally in a week the exhibition will open, where there will be one more of our works, and then there will be another separate project next year, there where there will be an exhibition with works from our collection, another project that we are very proud of, honestly, this is an exhibition. at the louvre, we heard that louv was preparing a large study related to byzantium, and that study would last several years, and they are now researching everything that is tangential to this era. in our museum, there are four oldest icons in ukraine, they were not created in ukraine, but they are here, they are sinai icons , so-called, they are 1500 years old, and have not been studied since the 70s, in addition , there is a mosaic icon in our country, it is the end of

the 13th, beginning of the 14th century, it also comes from this tradition. and we agreed that these icons will be included in their research and we will also be participants in this process. this is such an absolute he-he story when on science, on joint tasks, such cooperation is built. while the ukrainian collection travels the world, international institutions also support the khanenko museum in its homeland. one of the first such donors for us was who has a lot of donors who invest money in this fund, including european, asian, and private, american donors, one of the first such donors who helped us purchase certain equipment, and we we understood that we might have a difficult autumn, and we already bought generators in the summer.

on october 10, 2022, the museum team made sure how... correct was the decision to display the exhibits. then an enemy rocket flew very close to the khanenko museum. a beautiful rocket flew by, 40 meters from the museum, and took all the windows, the glass roof into the museum, and we had to very quickly consecrate the building, plus figure out what to do next. when there is an explosion next to the building there is a blast wave, you may not visually see what happened to the building. that is, the wave reaches the building, compresses it, then releases it, and may blow up the roof a little, or it may not be seen, for example, and therefore if how critical the damage is can be understood only after detailed research, so work has been added, but there are those who are ready

to help with this, it was the world monument fund, it was unesco. and it was house of europe. these three institutions gave us the opportunity both to conduct research and to secure the building and to enter already sealed, calm, insulated in the winter, and we cannot say who was more important, the support of the second helped only because the first helped before that, and then a third helped. workers the museum continues to make the institution a center of cultural attraction. even without exhibits and even after the arrival of the rocket. since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, they have launched cultural projects that would never have happened in peacetime. because the walls of the museum are now empty and empty, it is very painful for us as museum staff, but it gives us other opportunities to use this space, to interact with this space in the first place.

last year in the summer, our director yuliya vaganova invited. to the opera aperta museum and invited them to get to know the space and think about what could be done here. and then, ilyut roman was so impressed by the empty museum that they got very involved in this story and created a five-hour opera about the creation of the world. all the halls of the museum are fully involved, in each location there is an action, it develops, all five hours you can move around the museum in any. format, that is, it is a non-linear opera, it is a non-linear story, so every time you build a new opera for yourself. together with the cafe bar skvot-17b, the museum staff launched a joint cocktail project with the curator. this year we have a project with our neighbors from

quota 17b. it is so multi-layered, we have been friends with them for a long time as collectives, at the end of last year we managed to find a format in which we could interact, so we started such a cycle, a cocktail with a curator, in general with a curator, but it seems that we do not have curators there yet there were, there were only female curators, this type of super light story, exciting, preferably, plus three museum cocktails were developed in skota, they are dedicated to the collection and history of the museum, part of the proceeds from their sale goes to a special account, i don't know which museum in the world still has a collaboration with a bar near this museum, the empty premises of the institution created circumstances for musical collaboration as well. representatives of jamala approached us and offered to raise funds for restoration. we talked, thought together and decided that

we should fight not with the effect, but with the cause.
