[000:00:00;00] our grandfather, when i met him, he actually undressed and showed me the spot from the bullet , and in this place it was very visible that there was a scar, yes, and a bullet written in russian, he said that the doctor who was supposedly in he did not have time, he took out these bullets, sewed them up and wrote: bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet on all the protesters who appeared. hospital, i remember that i was sitting at home, reading something on the internet about the maidan, and i became so very scared, very restless, when i came to the maidan, then i seemed to become calmer, this is all our history, this

all that is us. during the maidan period, i wrote this, it made me happy, it is such a feeling of unity and the possibility of doing something together.

somewhere in the 20th of february. i was here when the worst events began, when there were the first victims, the dead, i came because the maidan fulfilled its role of uniting people into one community in order to defend their rights and freedoms, and it united me as well with this, with these people, the whole country from different corners came together in order to fight for some justice in our country and i also wanted to be a part of these

events. well, here was the front line, here were the most active actions, here was the main barricade, and there was a line of security forces who were driven here to the scene of events. a huge water cannon that sprinkled people with cold water, at -20, people tried to push back this line of security forces with improvised means, and all

this was somehow, well, like in the war. i was actually standing somewhere over here, there was my easel, on this place , on which i depicted, a colonnade, now it is white, then it was completely black from smoke, from burning tires, and i painted here the general picture of the events that

took place here. although that day was sunny, the sky, the sky was black, just because of the flames, because of the smoke, there were volunteers who constantly brought me tea and coffee so that i wouldn't get cold, sometimes i was distracted by talking to people, constantly someone was interested in the process, well , there were a couple of thoughts that it was dangerous, but i hoped that everything would change and nothing bad would happen. in order to

throw another stone in the direction of the security forces, i thought that i would not fix the situation, i would rather do what i do best, and in this will be able... to the maidan in the revolution of dignity. probably the next work i would like to do is when people come to the maidan for the 50th anniversary of the revolution, and everyone will be there. to live in a successful country in which there is no place for grief, for poverty,

then i would draw such a square again. i was filming the events of the euromaidan from the second day, it was a small protest on the independence square on november 22, 2000 in the 13th year, we had, everyone, i think, had their own mission on the maidan, and i actually have a rather negative attitude towards photographers,

videographers who were holding a camera in one hand and throwing rocks in the other hand, it actually puts us, professional photojournalists, videographers, in a position where we become participants, participants in the confrontation, i was not a participant in the confrontation, i was working as a professional, professional photographer who, which covered the euromaymay events. it would be easier to be here, to be physically here, than not to be here. i remember all those times when i was at home and watched. espresso or public stream, i was more worried than when i was i was here personally, it was always more peaceful for me during the euromaidan to be here on the institute, on the maidan, on hrushevskyi, i

spent quite a lot of time here, in fact, this degree of confrontation, this degree of active force actions, it grew gradually, but then on december 1 it became it is clear that there will still be force actions, one more day when it was scary, it was january 19, here on hrushevskyi, it was scary to be there, there were a lot of grenades, tear gas, the only time on the maidan when i was given medical help, because of that that i stopped seeing, i must have got poison gas in my eyes, it's hard to say, but the medics took me to the medics, and they washed my eyes with something, i felt better, i continued to shoot, but i

remember that evening i was constantly shooting and went and went, because it was very scary, but went and came back, went and came back, and that's how i, and that's how i spent the evening of january 19. let's go boys, closer, closer, well , february 20 for me is one of the most important days in my life, which had a great impact

for me. this was one of the first points in which i filmed. on the morning of february 20, i arrived from the ukraina hotel along these paths and it was clear that something was happening there, i sat down, i had a camera in my hands and i was shooting in that direction just when a black company was filming on the maidanivsya, which were going upwards by force. i think we then ran up there very quickly, took a picture from there, then i took another picture, from that point, and then went up to the city, then we were already walking to the yellow palace, there were no people on the bridge, there were no people at that moment, when we ran across it, only here at the end there were some protestors and we... what we did was, well, you could say a leap

of hope, that is, we ran across it, hoping that everything would be fine, and everything was fine, but it was really, it was it's really risky, for me euromaidan is not as it seems... for a journalist as a citizen it was like a reminder that we have to fight for independence, we understood that we are citizens, that we are ukrainians, that we have a country that we have to fight for fight, and i am glad that i

witnessed those events. i'm glad i didn't miss it almost nothing, i think that we all woke up, woke up from that, well, such a neutral state in which we were, and today, after euromaidan, we have a completely different country, a country of active citizens who support each other, who cheer for what is happening in ukraine. which is still continuing today, i believe that after the maidan there was a very strong break, and not only a revolutionary one, but an evolutionary one, this is not a national showdown, nothing, this, this is purely a matter of civilizational development of some kind, and it is slow, of course, because everything evolutionary

happens. not suddenly, the first time i got to the maidan was on november 23 or 25, and i remember those first days very well, we started going with my sister, i went with my daughter, i was three years old at the time, and there was some kind of addiction to the maidan, in dependence on this, on this organization, mini-society, model of an ideal society, which in general , for me, as an artist, as a person, it was just something, something incredible, and i offered people to draw their portrait very quickly, with a pencil. and i gave these to people

portraits, but i kept one copy for myself, anyone could get into my project, it was important for me to record a historical moment, that everyone is a subject of historical changes, it was very difficult, because it was just in december, because there was such a situation that people were caught outside the maidan and everyone thought that i was doing some photo works, and then just by word of mouth they already knew a little about me and even said, but here is this artist who paints, it turned out that i made 171 drawings, this one , for example, a guy, he is from donetsk region, and his they were beaten very badly on november 30, during the first crackdown on this small square, and he was lying in a friend's apartment, with

broken ribs, with a broken face, and already when i drew him, on december 15, actually two weeks later, he was already standing on the barricades. in full duty, this is serhiy nyhayan, on december 15, he wanted to leave under his own name, although i did not ask anyone, and he was just a very open person in general. of course, the moment was very strong when i found out about the murder of nigayan, because this person had actually already become a friend, well, people went to death, that's it, that's what's important, simply, so many deaths have happened in ukraine

that this bar simply cannot be lowered, this responsibility before society, for me as an artist, very...' the challenge is to work at all during such radical events like revolution or war, because art, for art it is a great test, memory is a very delicate thing, on the one hand. we don't remember what happened 5 years ago, it 's our 18th year, yes, they died in the struggle for soviet power, well, and only in the totalitarian the state managed to do, that this monument has stood for so long, i am worried whether the heavenly hundred, which is dear to all of us, as a symbol of freedom, will not become

a critical mass of people, it doesn't matter, well, very soon. oh hi, how are you, good that you're filming, cool, cool. from here, as an observation point, you could see, ah, something too intense black smoke, apparently another barricade was set on fire, there are people rushing, and here you could see, there is the hotel ukraine, there is the dynamo stadium, there is

the verkhovna rada, well, the government quarter near, it turns out, we were such innovators, then, we worked like drones, they tell us there , and behind you there is a fire, here in the block, and you run there for a block and a person feels, he controls you, yes, well, plus stream, earlier there were no streams, because there was no such high-speed mobile internet , in fact, here we are, and these events begin, and everyone is interested in what is happening in the city center, and what the evening news channels can offer, because they have a grid, advertising policy, marketing, we want to provide, just a picture, these are aunts, they are close, mm. well, 150 people, if she is interested, something is happening here and now, people are looking for a stream or some headlines from there, we started thinking about how we will drag the tuff to the maidan, like we do with shoelaces, then we already had the idea from home to share with these routers, well, such real with sockets over the air there, like three, well, and then it turned out that there are such

weak 3g, but there are, i have the honor of being one of the first streamers, my name is bohdan kutyapov, you are watching public television, there is nothing here you, well, i'll show you, the main thing is that, what, you are streaming, not how, do you have a lot of optics, light, and come on, we, we gave streams, half of which were, it’s just a black screen, the video didn’t work, and the audio, let’s show you, here’s a little it's dark, i understand it's dark, god, and that's why we learned to stream like football commentators, that is, you always have to explain, you can see in the frame, we basically started a fashion for streaming, with so many people, only a madman can go on a storm, our the position that we should do what

is our function, inform as it is, that is mariinsky park, we were here, there was an anti -maidan, at one time they were taken, as if to show a picture in contrast to those who are against yanukovych, but there are people standing for yanukovych, of course it was very easy to catch them with elementary journalistic, logical questions, ah... why are you here, well, and who brought you, no one yourself, yes, and how did you know that there will be some action here, and who are you for, and here they started to get confused, some said for yanukovych, others they said, for yakunevich, the third said, yanukovych is like that, we are for the truth, well, that is, it was clear that their unites something else, well, obviously money, because you come to the maidan, and there everyone kindly lets everyone into the tents, knits a ribbon, treats them with tea, it was like that here, that tapas and all the others were there at the same time and the security guard is right here near...' and we started to politely explain that we were filming there, we came here to film, yes, maybe

, anu looks, yes, badge, yes, well, okay, and here right away at you they fly in, they start, and , let's go, let's go, i say, well, here we are on the live broadcast, well, we won't check, it's a stream, it's a live broadcast, they took it away, just that the certificates in well, they took me away, so it's not true, but i 'm showing everything as it is, now i'm showing it, it had to be provoked in order to push. then show it in the mass media, what are the bad people here? i'll write you on your forehead now, here i told you, let's talk, first a snowflake flew, i turned away, then this tablet by the shoulder and they ran, ran, stole it, i'm after them, and then i think where i'm running, on me the crowd is running, we left, called the police, they came, they say, oh, what about this? not yours, and they say, look, don’t worry anymore, we found a tablet here, i look, there’s not a single file, they saw everything, but it’s a stream, the metal i gave yesterday were plastic, and

these are already metal, new barricades are being built, yes, what are you doing? don't cover your face, eh, we don't cover it, and the ukrainian revolution is the first online revolution, it's the day of february 20, five years ago, i was sleeping when the most terrible things happened, because i was up from night to day, i started reading twitter and hair on my head, if i had it, it would stir, yes, but it was horror, i saw that death, i saw that i saw the pictures, it was so horrible. reading the news, watching the news was very scary, and when

i arrived here already at quarter past one, and saw that everyone here was sad, but not depressed, and such, such sadness, but bright sadness and everyone was determined, even more people gathered, everyone is already digging stones, passing them to each other, there is something, and at this moment there were buses with berekut under the council, and they simply lost morally, stubbornness won. and the truth is that on the evening of february 20, i filmed, as with the bodies were taken out of the hotel ukraine, these coffins are being carried to the cry and to the plyneka or to the anthem of ukraine, and people are standing and then they were stacked as best they could and there people were wailing, these shots bring me back to reality, and i understand that, well, yes, we didn't have many years of wars, nothing there, but here it is, instantly. and it can arise, yes, and we should not forget about it, ukrainians are such a nation, we can oppress, oppress, but at some point it just breaks

the thread and everything, and it is impossible to take it here, unless it is like that at the same time, under the hood, but , well, and then we will break it, it will not be like before, because we have changed forever. well, the films on the air of the telethon do not end there, and at 0:30 there will be a showing: tapes, maple, this is actually not just a film, it is an investigation, we are joined by alladovnyk, the author of the investigation, hello,

please announce briefly, here is why exactly, why firstly what is the investigation and why is it important and why is it worth watching? er, good evening, this is one of our investigations into war crimes committed by the russian occupiers in ukraine, this is an investigation into the military of the crime in yagidny, chernihiv region, where the russian military in march 22 of the year received 366 people in a cramped basement, people sat for 27 days without access to fresh air, normal food. medicine and ten people died in this basement. last year we investigated this crime and we found out which russian regiment was behind the fact that i received people in this basement, it was the 228th regiment, but we were not able to identify at that time the two officers who were actually in charge of it, this whole process in

yagidny, this year in june we received video, video from... russian singer and propagandist yulia checherina, in which yagidny residents recognized one of those maple officers, according to their stories , he was the most brutal officer who basically decided everything that concerned civilians in yagidny, and we were able to a second chance to continue this investigation and establish this person, this russian officer with... behind him a maple tree, and we searched for him for three months, from june to september, used various methods, artificial intelligence and began to work under the legend, and in the end what we started working under the legend, what we wrote to the russian military, introducing ourselves as their comrades , then as volunteers, we were able to find his number and

establish his identity, that is, we actually found this... person who is potentially a war criminal, well of course, the court will establish this, but our film is called that, the map to find a war criminal , because in it we told how we conducted this investigation step by step, what we did, and how we managed to identify this person, uh, but i really thanks for such, you know, concise, but you understand, i will remind our viewers that we will have a screening at 0:30. alla sadovnyk, the author of the investigation, was in touch with us about the klyon investigation. i would like to remind you that this particular story of the investigation began more than a year ago, so stay with the public. chevrons
