hello. kirill vyshinsky is with you, and this is a typical ukraine program. our program is not news, we record it in advance and go out on a weekly basis. we don't compete with news releases. we talk about what made ukraine the way we know it today, the typical and, of course, the peculiar path that little russia went through in the ussr ukraine before it ended up at the current point. that's what we're interested in, we hope that it's interesting for you, and that's what we'll talk about today. monopoly on what is true

television was set up in ukraine what to talk about what not to talk about with an expert on the ukrainian information space yevgeny kushnarev mysteriously extinguished the star of ukrainian politics. not so long ago, ukraine was the champion in socio-political broadcasting in the post-soviet space, in addition to news on national buttons, 11 information tv channels operated in the country. today the situation has changed dramatically, or rather change. she started with the coming to power of vladimir zelensky at the end of 2020, zelensky had problems preparing for the new presidential term in their media there were no channels of petro poroshenko direct fifth espresso harshly criticized the incumbent president and his closest associates. they did not spare his name and on the air

of the channel in close to viktor medvedchuk zik 112 newsvan, and after zelensky’s conflict with the oligarch rinat akhmetov, his media outlets ukraine and ukraine 24 began to criticize the president. in this situation, at the beginning of 2021, zelensky, with the help of the national security and defense council led a new practice of working with the media without trial and presentation specific charges against them are imposed sanctions and this serves as a basis for disconnection from the air or blocking. this is how medvedchuk's three channels were closed, zelensky explained this fight against russian propaganda. journalists called it censorship and repression, then they tried to block the country's largest opposition website, akhmetov's channels were dealt with without sanctions by officials of the government and zelensky's office and his deputies.

they just stopped noticing these channels, although they used to go there with pleasure on talk shows. but this for re-election for a second term was not enough not warmed. even the support from the media empire, the oligarch kolomoisky, who was in the first company today, and tomorrow, may not be in zelensky’s office, understood that new elections need to be approached with their own. for this, the media created the dom channel for budget money, but with its managers it is the only one that can broadcast in russian, allegedly because it is designed for viewers of crimea and donbass and another parliamentary channel. the rada was also headed by managers from the office president. so they killed two hares, reduced the presence of the opposition on it and made the channel the mouthpiece of zelensky and his party. it remained to decide something with the tv channels of a direct competitor. poroshenko

hoped to reach an agreement with akhmetov. with the start of a special military operation, the situation in the information field of ukraine has changed dramatically, zelensky realized that under martial law it is possible to completely legally monopolize the entire information space of the country. today, all major national channels around the clock they broadcast an information marathon, which is jointly done by the media holdings of the oligarchs of kolomoisky akhmetov pinchuk and itash is led and coordinated by managers from the office of the president, poroshenko’s channels were not taken into the pool, they considered that there was no point in cooperating with competitors. and after a while they are like medvedchuk's channels. just turned off from nationwide digital broadcasting. as a result , zelensky's team achieved what previously could only dream of. journalists from various

oligarchic media groups work on the same channel countdown has already begun from the editorial that is determined from the president's office about how the television information space of ukraine looks today in the story of anna efimova rocket in the kiev region. to the last living russian soldier and whistler rashist, not only on the battlefields, but also on the screens , conversations on the verge of a foul on television, a typical picture of the day over the past few months. this is how the information war looks like, but you can’t win this war, what nonsense are the traces of ukraine’s uncompromising steps to victory russian troops are shown everywhere, they are moving away from kiev because they are not regrouping, but

allegedly the militants, besieged on azov, have broken down, it turns out they are being evacuated. they surrender information about the evacuation of ukrainian defenders. a special example does not leave the pages of the world media from fatigue. the desperate struggle for the island of the snake for ukraine, which actually does not have a slot on the black sea, attempts to seize this territory are not only akin to suicide, but simply do not make any sense to keep this piece of land. in the black sea. near odessa with such resources. it's still impossible, but attempts continue and from the so -called successes right there. president zelensky is starting the final stage of the fight for snakes, our national ensign has been installed there. at the end of march, the ukrainian channel did not have the right to make their own tv product, according to zelensky's decision, they broadcast centrally within the framework. the so-called unified tv marathon, chicken, the relevant department of the president's office. u ukraine people, uh, who are responsible for the unification of e information. uh,

they carry it out through the national security council through controlled courts and through the ministry, er, of culture, which is led by an experienced television man who turned out to be judas and freedom of speech. in the ukrainian version, oleksandr tkachenko, who headed the ministry of culture and information policy in 2020, alexander tkachenko has a wealth of experience behind him. he has been working in journalism for 30 years before his appointment to the post ; for a long time he directed the odin plus one kolomoisky channel. and as they say, he did a lot for inciting hatred against opponents of coups , moreover, since 2014, tkachenko has been praising the ban on russian content on ukrainian television, and after being elected a deputy of the verkhovna rada, as a measure to counter russian propaganda, he called for the closure of online cinemas and anonymous telegram channels. however, in their aspirations. he was not alone, his colleague, a deputy from the same ruling party, the servant of the people maryana, the headless , suggested, for example, to special vigilant viewers

to write denunciations against journalists. whose stories contained and not patriotic in her opinion, statements and diverged from the general line of the party, the audience wants to hear what they want now segmentation is taking place. there, according to age, according to social status, according to the level of interests, but in general, some kind of global agenda. basically, there is a request for a person to know. let him get the answers he wants, and sometimes he will model what he wants to hear, so that it would be better. well, waiting from the miracle of a fairy tale before the start of full-scale hostilities in ukraine miracle and fairy tale vladimir zelensky actively broadcast in his social networks. the head of state ran around the fountains, photographed shawarma and posted a detailed video report on how he buys coffee and sandwiches. but the problems of the country were not solved at the same time. drive on, then we happily yak first fighting about his habits to lead, the president's blog did not refuse, as an experienced coppersmith,

to be in trend. he changed his style, became more brutal, changed into khaki and slightly reworked the presentation of content on the air nezalezhno zelensky is now one of the main newmakers ukrainians. ukrainians are all our signs because of today's hysteria. god for a simple day all the bottom. we are definitely good for all parachutes. now personal freedom in the media space. the head of state only got more, he is the most influential oligarch. rinat akhmetov, having refused the license of all his media outlets, simply presented president zelensky with his media business media group ukraine, which owns, among other things, the largest national tv channels in ukraine and ukraine 24, allegedly due to unwillingness to fall under sanctions due to sent loot, the law of obligarchs, then , what akhmetov gives away his channel. this means that he has already withdrawn all his assets from ukraine by means of a channel . maybe they have their cnn bbc and all the other riffraff, yes, so, of course, he just gives it away. there, as unnecessary,

only one thing is dropped and left in conditions when the media are engaged in propaganda around the clock in the interests of the current government from a useful asset and instrument of influence. they turn into ballast for the oligarchs. the main tv channels of ukraine are chronically unprofitable and now pay for fakes about beating babies in the body the former ambusman with any denisova, apparently, this woman and the children and parents of the children of their raped and men and the elderly will have to go to zelensky himself, and in front of what they do not stop in their fictions. lyudmila denisova went so far too far that she returned to her as a boomerang. in may, the verkhovna rada, with a scandal, removed the ombudsman who had climbed in from office. as a result of a journalistic investigation , it turned out that all the high-profile accusations of denis were also against the russian army. pure lies for production. fake officials organized dubious mental health hotline. where, allegedly, more than a thousand victims turned , denisova herself named her stuffing work on the information front and the reasons for her dismissal

sincerely. another odious personality, adviser to the office of the president of ukraine, aleksey arrestovich, nicknamed lucy, who stuck with him during his acting career, did not understand. his statements are disassembled into quotes on the internet , they joke that you can endlessly do three things, look at the fire, water and listen to the aristocratic words in words, mariupol and mariupol are not. yes all up to 6 may, briefings on the successes of the ukrainian army with the participation of the arrest were regularly published in the telegram channel of zelensky's office. however, then he disappeared from the radar, even among ardent supporters , the number of those who are ready to believe in him is significantly reduced. you can lie to yourself and others more. because if the truth is told, it will collapse, everything is likely, following this logic, the largest news agency in ukraine, unian, began to attract. as experts astrologers and psychics in the news feed with an enviable regularity began to appear

predictions of future victories, vsu and forecasts about the imminent liberation of cities. i. in general, it can't even be called a word propaganda anna efimova valeriy savelyev anastasia popova typical ukraine about why information on ukrainian television looks like this today. we'll talk to our permanent expert, uh, alexander vasiliev, historian and political scientist. sasha good afternoon. hello, since 2014 a lot has changed in ukrainian television, especially in submission of information. what is the essence of these processes and the meaning in those times before the war. yes, we remember very well how, in the studio of the talk show yes , a ukrainian nationalist could sit, but a communist. yes, they could , in extreme cases, they could grab each other in quality, but within the genre, so to speak, features of these talk shows of this kind, yes, but nothing more than that, and indeed there was some kind of pluralism on different channels. there were these different shows that politicians and acting ministers came to. that

is, it all looked really, really realistic environment, but since 2014, exactly half of the political aspect has come from television. as the main source of information for the population as before, yes for millions. people were simply cut off from this part of the political spectrum and a complete consensus was established there, which was tied to the recognition of the maidan, so to speak, the democratic revolution of the revolution of dignity, and the recognition of the entire set of ideologists of ukrainian nationalism. yes and so on and so on and so on. that is, that's all. it dawned on slogan freedom of speech, of course, and then yes, we all remember these turbulent processes, when certain tv channels tried opposition politicians there. eh, somehow, after all, to rebuild from this pogrom that occurred in the media environment in the fourteenth year, and we see what happened before the presidential that even those remnants, so to speak , of freedom of speech, which are still by inertia. after the maidan, they were preserved in some form, yes, zelensky

simply began to defend the information field in the wildest way. that is, here, uh, as it were a realistic picture, it has become even more collapsed in recent months, and first to special military operations, because we know that there is one marathon on all channels yes, and how the information turned out to be completely centralized, uh, and it, of course, became much easier to manage this, but information. well, it is obvious that this is an effort of president zelensky's office in which a huge number of people who came from this television business perfectly understand its laws, know how he is configured. a. what is this in the process, the role of zelensky himself is also a person from tv? yes, this is a very interesting story here, because zelensky is a man from tv and uh, at the same time he is still not an information man. yes, and he is, well, an entertaining artist, but a genre. and if we remember the first steps, again in this direction, then zelensky was positioned as a person

who, thanks to this background of his, can communicate directly with the people, and through the head of media yes, because, but this control over copper , he gave himself ofi. the president is far from immediate. yes it there was painstaking work, a serious struggle for the formation. here is this single agenda, but so far it has not been. yes? here zelensky went out, as if to the people, uh, recording some, we remember, yes, the videos are there, however, later, when the political problems began, uh, we remember that they were forced. uh, this is a very jealous and, uh, branched media community in kiev, yes. they were forced. it wasn't all complementary. in fact, there were poroshenko's, so to speak , those who tried to be president there. that is this is kind of a struggle, but up to the present day. here we see how this line continues, that it is regular, and zelensky’s speeches there are almost daily yes, at the end of the

day, but they have become. uh, just let's say there is a focus on this common general media field. well, i want the content of ukrainian television to return to form. uh, after all, all over the world , television is, after all, uh, the preservation of some kind of cultural norm, and even ukrainian television has been trying to investigate this for quite a long time . they fought for the purity of the language. uh, with some galicism surzhik, but lately, when you watch ukrainian television. it seems that the language of tv presenters just turns into a raincoat, well, language from the lowest level. why is this happening? yes , there really is such a buzzword, but toxic is so exaggerated emotionally. it is so downgraded culturally, that is, such dehumanization. and your opponent there can be calmly

an opponent. yes, that is, that's the vocabulary such a new norm in ukraine yes, it is taken as a basis and culture. well , i don’t know the most lumpenized of some urban marginal strata, and this is largely due to the fact that this media class, especially the people who came with zelensky yes, are, as it were, already on the second wave of renewal. yes, they are, as it were, like guys from the people, which means that they communicate with these people in the same language in the language of the street. yes, in this way, but trying, well, to be closer to him, that is, so that their propaganda, but penetrates deeper and deeper, not restraining himself in any way and calling e. well, it's certain. here is the delight of those who consume such content sounds unity, bad vocabulary, and so on and so forth. if they can afford it. ah, well, people who are not scammers, yes, that is, there are politicians, but some famous people, then, of course, journalists after

there are ministers or the president cursed on the air. yes? naturally, nothing is holding back anymore, and these people themselves are still today . these people are already talking channels, yes, they are managing channels and e. thus, these are their former skills, yes, which concerned, well, a rather narrow segment of politics, they are now doing. this is the new norm. thanks sasha it was very interesting. in ukraine , they like to appropriate large cities. title of the capital. there is such a specific form of regional patriotism. its residents consider lviv to be the ukrainian cultural capital. since the time of the russian empire, odessans have called their city of the south palmyra, donetsk is the main one, the city of the dpr was the capital of ukrainian industry, dnepropetrovsk if to believe its inhabitants is not the first, but not the last financial capital of ukraine and of course, kiev is

the current administrative capital of the country. but kharkov is the first soviet capital of ukraine, the city officially bore this title in the ussr from 1919 to 34, and then once again became the capital for a short period of liberation from the nazis in the spring of 43, if we also consider the status of the capital of the donetsk krivoy rog republic in 1918, then, kharkiv three times, capital city. actually, the reasons for pride in kharkov are not limited to titles and titles here was opened in 1805. the first university in the south of russia, a little earlier in 1789, the first little russia, a permanent theater was founded in the thirties of the xx century, kharkov became the third industrial center of the ussr before the war after moscow and leningrad. here they produced 40% of all machines and

mechanisms in ukraine. 1932 in kharkov, for the first time in the country, the atomic nucleus was split, and finally, the kharkov house of industry was the first soviet skyscraper. with such a level of engineering, intellectual and administrative thought, a special type of local elite was formed in kharkov, in the years of independence, politicians came out of it with serious ambitions for the all-ukrainian level about one of these politicians with yevgeny kushnarev in the story of olga mokhova in january 2007, the attention of residents of eastern ukraine was riveted to news from the kharkiv region, here the vezemskaya district hospital. doctors fought for the life of the deputy of the verkhovna rada yevgeny kushnarev, who was wounded during the hunt , they could not be saved, the official version of the investigation of the murder by negligence gave rise to many doubts and is somewhat shrouded in mystery.

why might this be? and so by chance, because i know some of the participants. and they know well. yes, and on the other hand, such political alignments were noticed in the near future that everything can be, because in ukraine somehow you know everything happened by chance . yevgeny kushnarev's political career started even before the declaration of independence of ukraine, inclined to keep pace with the times, he became at the very end of the eighties, one of the founders of the democratic platform of the cpsu in kharkov on the wave of struggle against the old command of the administrative system. kushnaryom first elected the supreme soviet of the ussr and then becomes the chairman of the kharkov city council. kushnarev was a good mayor. oh, kharkov was quite a junk city, it was difficult. then, because the budgets were pennies compared to the current budget, and he was naturally elected president of the association of mayors of ukrainian cities at the beginning of two years. thousandths and head of the

money. ralkushlands an ambitious task to revive the region in 4 1/2 years, they succeed in this region in leading positions in many respects, and the city of kharkov becomes the center of russian-ukrainian cooperation in 2001, presidents putin and kuchma come here to participate in the economic business forum, and in 2003 the belgorod region of russia and kharkov ukraine create a euroregion of the word of women, before it came up with all kinds of euroregional everything other things, but it was he who was able to implement them and push them through at the national level so that but these relations between russia and ukraine were clothed in some form. let the shape euroregion. let a any here e any format that would allow to simplify. uh, options for cooperation yevgeny kushnarev was the head of the presidential administration and the first deputy chairman of the people's democratic party of ukraine and even created his own party, but

for truly public politicians. he became president after the orange revolution. in the 2004 elections , kushnaryov supported the candidacy of viktor yanukovych and eventually entered the list of the party of regions, to be honest, i will say. here he is in the party the regions were very, well, complex, i would say, that is, the donetsk ones, as they were called. in general, he was perceived with caution. uh, and he himself, in general, was afraid of e for quite a long time, and participation, which means in uh in this structure in november 2004, after the second round of presidential elections in ukraine , viktor yanukovych is gaining a little more than 49% of the vote, and his opponent viktor yushchenko 46.5 for the first time in independent ukraine, contradictions between the southeast and west of the country are clearly manifested in several western ukrainian cities and regions recognize yushchenko as president in kiev in support of him organize a multi-day mass rally. maidan in. at the same time, yanukovych's supporters

were gathering the first all-ukrainian congress of deputies of all levels in severodonetsk, lugansk region, we wanted a federal structure of the state, we wanted not to touch our history, and we wanted russian to be the second state language, these are quite legitimate demands, but we were not heard and ukraine followed a completely different scenario of nationalism in a multi-national state. he won, so we have what we now we have, then 3,500 delegates from 15 regions of ukraine went to severodonetsk and the project of creating a southeastern ukrainian autonomous republic was first announced there, it was assumed that 10 regions of the country could enter there, no need to test our patience. for any attack. we have a worthy response up to the most extreme measures, and i want to remind you with a burning goal under the orange banners from kharkov to kiev 480 km, and to

the border with russia 40 after these events. the truth comes to nothing in the end, not brought into the lexicon ukrainian policy of my pro-government media takes root the term separatism separatists from now on call everyone. who defends the interests of the russian-speaking population against the main actors of the organizers of the severodonetsk congress open criminal cases kushnarev for a short time, it turns out that he was actively engaged in arrest, kiev, and then they had to find this one to blame. well, then, given the brightness and given the radicalism of kushnarev's statements. he, of course, hit. it was in this format that he was the person who was comfortable it was necessary to put a label on which it was convenient to open criminal cases and say that he wants the collapse of ukraine. in 2006, after surviving an assassination attempt during the election campaign, having entered the parliament at number 11 of the list of parties of the regions, yevgeny kushnarev becomes its main speaker. he takes part in the development of the basic law of ukraine

, proposes to expand the circle of issues for an all-ukrainian referendum, declares that the issue of joining the country to international military-political blocs should be considered based on the plebiscid. if, uh, then under the raisins, eh, kushnarev's life was not cut short, then i think he had all the prospects. uh, in order to grow into such an independent political figure and, uh, to support the party of regions, so to speak, ideology, the unexpected death of yevgeny kushnarev in 2007 became one of a series of strange departures from life and bright ukrainian politicians. in 2004 , the minister of transport and communications georgiy kirpa committed suicide, and in 2005 he was stuck. former interior minister yuri kravchenko olga mokhova anastasia popova valery savelyev typical ukraine that's all we wanted to tell. kirill

vyshinsky was with you today. good luck to you. summer will be interesting, i agree. are you asking for car glass?

it was never boring in the summer films serials documentaries cartoons. manufacturers of good things want and most importantly, but it's

best to check. so moscow is breaking through the blockade on exports, which the west has established russia and they have concluded a memorandum of understanding to facilitate the supply of russian food and fertilizers to the world market, another a document signed in istanbul defines the conditions under which the export of ukrainian grain will be ensured, for example, all ships will be carefully inspected for weapons, all details
