something negative, something criminal and so on, how do you treat it, this, this, if we talk about the historical component, this seems to me to be the most important component, well then, if you turned to the topic of russia, then we can also wonder here , which was very relevant in the first months of the war, it is not talked about so much now, but i tried to think about it too and now i think it is a responsibility. not the russian peoples of russia, but the russians really have their own state, and indeed this state gave birth in one way or another vladimir putin, and this is not even a question of national origin, because in the russian leadership there are people of different national origins, serhiy shaigu, then the crown prince, let's say by ethnic origin, but it is clear that all these people serve russian chauvinism in one way or another in his form, but the peoples of russia, who have quasi-states, which in fact do not protect theirs. interests, where

their national languages ​​are not studied, where their national culture, their heritage is distorted, where everything possible is done to prove their second-rateness and second-rateness, they are just as responsible as the russians for this war, you remember how at the beginning of the war , even russian propaganda tried to talk casually about the beets of the vitovynites, and many of us perceived this and presented the facts. you see, there were buryats in our village here in the kyiv region, they acted like beasts, and the chechens, the kadyrovs , acted even more like beasts, and it was as if from the russians, who essentially created this state and this army and this aggression, who needed ukraine, as its original land, is a type of responsibility was transferred to small nations, which, in principle, are very far from all this , even from europe, but they became much more responsible and cruel than those

who started this war and those who have their own, if you will, state interest in this war, of course, this is this is a classic imperial imperial practice, that is, you conquer territories, then you use these territories, this population to continue your imperialist war, and then you can, you can hide behind them, that is... this is this it's not the first time, it's not the first time is happening, that is, all these wild divisions and so on, that is, you can then say that it’s not us, it’s that asians came somewhere in europe and did something there and so on, but here we have tchaikovsky, we read, we we get excited and so on and so forth, that is, these, these, these things are already these things. already happened the responsibility

of these peoples as such and i don't have any specific formula for what to talk about, but i do have a very specific parallel that i think can help us think about this, which is our responsibility for what the soviet union did the same in eastern europe in the 39th and 40th years. for what he did in europe after 1945, that is , in fact, ukraine did not have sovereignty in ukraine, ukrainians did not have sovereignty, on the other hand, well, the ukrainian party elite was one of the most influential in the soviet union, that is, i studied kyiv , i researched the history of the caribbean crisis, well, the key decisions of the protests. to shoot or not

to shoot at an american plane over cuba was decided by two generals, the last name of one was buckwheat, the other was pumpkin, that is, whether buckwheat, that is, i do not know who they were in terms of self-identity, that is , the question is ethnic or territorial, that is, it is a difficult question, but it is a very real and important question, and i think that today it will be better for us from... . to answer the question about the buryats and the provinces, thinking about us and our role in the empire and in the soviet union. well, this is certainly of great importance, here we talked at the beginning of our conversation about all these new russian textbooks, but the context is also important, if you like, the forging in imperial or non-imperial narrative, and even soviet times, you see, i thought just when i was in a beard and looked at... this shot monument

of shevchenko during the shevchenko awards ceremony, that shevchenko was a soldier in one way or another of the russian empire, which this empire is always actually you'. snaked, branded and created in his poetry such an image of this russian empire, on which we were all brought up, and which are an alternative to the image of the russian empire that russians know, i mean not even from history textbooks, because it seems to me that culture can act more strongly than history, in the soviet union the handbook said that the russian empire oppressed other peoples, at least until the 17th year, but... students in the schools of soviet russia taught lermontov, taught pushkin, about georgia, which bloomed under the price of friendly bayonets, about the polish uprising, the disputes of the slavs among themselves, and this was written by the best russian poets, in beautiful words, in

beautiful works, with landscapes, i would say, of those countries that were conquered by the russian army , either in the caucasus, or... in poland, or in the ukraine, some of the best ukrainian landscapes were created by pushkin in the poem mazepa, which is essentially an imperial myth about maze and such a response to byron's admiration, and on the other hand, there were students of soviet schools ukraine, we taught all this in schools, from moldovan to finnish in all languages ​​everything is silent, churek and saklya are all yours, i remember it from childhood, and this, i would say, could create... an anti-imperial narrative, but also pavlo grabovskyi, and also ivan franko, and also lesya ukrainka, all these poets were anti-imperial in the time when their russian contemporaries, one might say, the best of their russian contemporaries, praised the empire, and this is already,

you know, a pitfall for centuries of misunderstanding, yes, you remembered shevchenko's words about the moldovans. to finn, finns are also mentioned in alexander pushkin's will, and finn's friend stepey kolmyk should consider him his national poet, and his national poet, yes, yes, yes, that is, this, this, this very, this, this very different narratives, and they seemed to be present, in particular in ukraine, and one in the lessons of russian literature, the other... in the lessons of ukrainian literature, but the question is also that the children who studied it, so, well, there are creations, which are formed, which are formed by the teacher, and the understanding of what is read is also formed in

reading, and because of this, precisely i would like to emphasize the importance, the importance of the role of the teacher and the importance of the role of the interpreter. in all of this, in all of this history, because non-willing could and did happen in almost any text, that is, the same shevchenko was appropriated by the soviet literary narrative, after at the end of the soviet union, tamara gundurova wrote, wrote a book about frankon stonemason, yes, that is... shevchenko was only a stonemason. shevchenko was only a serf in a coat, which he had specially put on for taking pictures. and this, this is the question of what we do with our heritage,

how we try to understand it, and i'm joining this conversation now from cambridge, united states of america, where the big debate is going on right now. unfolds in relation to the decolonization of russian or russian-centric literary history, where in fact, almost for the first time in the mainstream, i.e. , the main questions are questions about imperialism, the key imperial narrative of russian literature, which, imperialism was recognized as the basis of french and english literature, but somehow russian actually remained the subject of... absolute adoration and idealization, and this is changing now , changes because of events in ukraine, and specifically because of ukrainian, ukrainian resistance, so i would just like

to say that these processes are not only related to ukraine or the post-soviet space, in general, the image of its post-soviet space, russian space in the world and m... precisely the opposition to ukraine became the starting point for these discussions. well, you can say that ukrainians. can be not only witnesses, but also participants in this reinterpretation of the russian imperial cultural narrative and the russian imperial past, because it seems to me that we do not even fully give ourselves an account today of the role in which this russian heritage played in the formation of even the present ukrainian perception world, this is the situation that opened thanks to the heroism of the ukrainian army and the ukrainian people. will not last forever, if we want to somehow influence it, we need to be

included in these processes, we need to speak, we need to communicate, sometimes it is very difficult, that is, look at the current discussion on the ukrainian internet about good russians, that is, the idea is the idea of ​​communication with anyone is actually excluded, interpreted as possible betrayal, but what does this mean? it means creating at this pivotal moment a ghetto where we we remain our own truth, and we limit our ability to actually influence change in broader narratives and perceptions of ourselves and the world around us. again, this is a unique opportunity to somehow waste, which from my point of view would be a crime. well, there is still a big question, to what extent is the russian community itself, even the emigration one. liberally open to debate as long as she doesn't put this community, i would say, and her

cultural-historical preferences on a pedestal, because that's how people can oppose putin, but they still have no doubts, that russia is the center of this entire civilization, anyone who thinks otherwise is either an enemy or someone who is fooling around for the sake of hype, to put it simply, i completely understand what you are talking about. i know such people, but i also know other people who were not there until 2022, who appeared now, and these people need to be talked to, well, i mean, it seems to me that russian society itself, at least partially must conduct its own work on mistakes, realize at least the weight of its own culture in the world context. i think it is too soviet influence, mr. sergey, because in the soviet union everyone was sincerely... sure that they were aware of the role of their own culture and what, er, they could compare with world

cultural values, and this is a complete lie, because the soviet culture existed in a certain isolation from the world cultural context and from the historical context and from the scientific context, and only now people can, have the opportunity to understand, well, the real weight of their cultural and scientific heritage on libra from... common history with the world, and most does not want to do this, yes, that is, there is hiding behind the idea, that is, of a separate civilization, uniqueness, and so on, and if we are a separate civilization, then of course, of course, anything that happens here is unique, it does not need any dialogue with the environment, because it, because it is different, it is different, and this, this, this is, this... there is a very serious, very serious problem, but changes have begun,

and we have the opportunity to either support these changes or isolate ourselves and not to support, and that means to subject it, that is, at the mercy of someone else, we can support, actually open the way for some interpretations, which actually. will be, will be completely different, if not contradictory, let's compare, with our experience, with our ideas, uh, that is, uh, not to enter the door that was opened - by the ukrainian army and the ukrainian people, this would be great strategically, well, then , this is also very important to understand, we can enter any door, which, if we ourselves do not consider ourselves to be somehow separate. a civilization that is constantly trying to invent a bicycle, and what should ukraine be like in europe, in

the future, what should be its place in europe, what do you think, ending our conversation, well, ukraine today appeared in europe as if in some kind of robes, in the backstage of a knight, i don't i know, the defender of bordering, european bordering. ukraine went to war with the russian army, which only. did not agree in 1940, the poles for various reasons could not fight on two sides, in 1968 czechoslovakia did not even try to do it, hungary did not succeed, that is, in such a large industrial, large-scale war, well, we arise as

a warrior, and it was not, it was not our choice, it was the choice of ukraine, er, and, er, in this way we have already entered, then the question of entering, er- er, socially, economically, civilizationally, culturally, er, and here, here the biggest question for us is not even democracy, although now there are great signs, questions arise as to how far we will be able to survive the military experience. to remain a democracy, i still remain an optimist here, but the issue of rule of law, that is, in fact to what extent can we be a people, a nation, a country that will put the law higher,

higher than any other ethnic, social, economic. then the interests of certain groups, that is, this is a key issue, but it seems to me, purely from a military point of view, that is, we chose a place, we, we, we, we create and continue the border, the border of europe further east, that is, from my point of view, it is a matter of time, such integration, integration in the sense of a secure europe and its provision. security, but culturally, culturally, legal integration, sub culture, i first of all have, i have a culture of law, this will be the biggest presentation for us historically, thank you, mr. serhiy, once again i congratulate you on the holiday, i congratulate you on the holiday, dear viewers, our guest was the famous ukrainian-

american historian serhiy plokhi, to see you, good luck.

build political careers under the auspices of the kremlin. i express my support to the commander-in-chief. congratulations. i am olena kononenko , and this is a collaborator program about traitors who, following the call of their hearts and wallets, went to serve the russian occupiers. in today's issue. i will continue to talk about the bubble ministries that russia is creating in the temporarily occupied territories of ukraine and about those who manage them. in the donetsk region , the rashists created 17 illegitimate ministries, some of them are under the control of russian tourers who moved to the temporarily occupied territories, and some are managed by local traitors. they proudly call themselves ministers of the dpr. one of them is zhaltyakov, mykhailo vasyliovych. born in 1961, a native of kryvyi rih, he is an honored cultural worker of ukraine. we hope that all events planned

by the ministry of culture of russia and the ministry of culture of donetsk people's republic will be successful republic, everything will work for the good of our republic, for the good of the whole great country. mykhailo has two higher educations, but looking ahead, i will say that they did not add intelligence to him, well, can an educated... person thank the russian soldiers. i would like to express special words of gratitude and support to our soldiers who defend donbas and the whole of russia in advanced positions. we are confident that by joining forces under the wise leadership of our leader, we can achieve victory. in 1982, zholtyakov graduated from the kharkiv kotlyarevsky institute of arts a drama theater and film actor. he received his second education in 2004, when he graduated from the donetsk state university of management with a degree in business administration. in parallel with his studies , since 2003 mykhailo has been the chief specialist

of one of the departments in donetsk. of the city center of social services for youth, and in 2006 took a position in the culture department of the donetsk regional state administration, was a leading specialist of the department of arts and educational institutions. in general, mykhailo devoted his whole life to culture. it seemed this was supposed to instill in him a love for ukrainian national traditions and raise a patriot, but something went wrong, because when donbas was occupied by the russian army in the 14th year, zheltyakov did not... abandon the captured territories, but remained in the region, as it were to say, to study another culture, russian, although there is something to study there, but zhaltyakov liked it very much . here is a video where he, stuttering with delight, thanks the russian singer shamanov and invites him to perform i rusky in donetsk. in the person of all residents of the republic, residents of mariupol, residents of donetsk. we hope that in the near future you will be with us in

donetsk. we wish you creative success, and just like you, we feel like russians. for recognizing himself as a russian, mishka received thanks in the form of the post of first deputy minister of culture, the so-called dpr. he organized numerous celebrations in honor of the invaders, rolled out the red carpet and, taking a full chest of air, loudly blew fanfare to personally pay tribute to the murderers. from all cultural workers in... the republic, i express my support to the supreme commander-in-chief, the president of russia federation. with such a striking initiative , zholtyakov did not stay as a deputy for long, he became acting minister of culture of the fake dpr. the chair is higher, accordingly, and there are more tasks from the kremlin, the complete destruction of ukrainian culture in the temporarily occupied territories of ukraine. russification of libraries, theaters, promotion of the russian military as

heroes, and this is far from complete. a list of his urgent tasks. i wish that these events would end as soon as possible, and we would all be under a peaceful sky, and feel that we are under a reliable protection for his services, zheltyakov received the title of honored worker of culture of the donetsk people's republic. there is a distinction from the rashists, now the most important distinction remains in the form of suspicion from our law enforcement agencies. another one of... the councilor with a mandate who believed in the russian peace and its prospects, oleksiy serhiyevich shamav, is from donetsk, he is 51. the ministry of justice of the donetsk people's republic is also involved in law-making activities, implementing the state information system. oleksiy has a law degree. in 2003, he graduated from the donetsk institute of internal affairs at the donetsk national university , majoring in law enforcement. since 2006, he has led an individual law

practice. its services not only in donetsk, but also throughout ukraine. he was a member of the council of advocates of the donetsk region. shamov also worked in the law enforcement agencies of the donetsk region in the positions of deputy prosecutor and prosecutor. and in the 14th year, he opened his own law firm. when the donetsk region was occupied, oleksiy quickly retrained, studied russian laws and started working according to the rules of the russian federation. i recommend contacting the notary chamber of the donetsk people's republic for all notarial matters. or to notaries who carry out their activities on the territory of the donetsk people's republic. at first, the traitor provided his legal services to the occupiers and ringleaders of the dpr terrorist organization, for which he was appointed acting director of the department of registration of regulatory and legal acts of the puppet ministry of justice, later shamov was promoted to deputy minister of justice, the so-called dpr. after years of blind and devoted service to the kremlin in 2023, this year

he finally earned the seat of the pseudo-minister of justice of the dpr. the ministry of justice will be entrusted with the authority to introduce the register of municipal normative legal acts of the dpr and several other new powers. in addition, the seller also received a russian lawyer's license. on the telegram page of the so-called ministry, shamov tells the public about how to annul a marriage, how to get a work book in the supposedly liberated territories and how to bury... legal entity, all this, of course, according to the laws of the russian federation. for our part, we advise oleksiy not to forget ukrainian laws, especially the criminal procedure code, according to which sooner or later he will be tried for treason . and finally, i will tell you about one more minister in the dpr, who in a peaceful life did not achieve anything in particular, that is why he decided to realize himself at least under the occupiers, using all the talents

of an adaptor. get to know.
