naked heart creates a free system of services for special children and their families. you can support the work of the foundation. help us help more. they have not been silent for 8 years and continue to openly express their civic position, the one who truly remains with his country, he was never afraid to give interviews, he was not afraid to go with concerts somewhere in the donbass or there in kherson zaporozhye dozens of russian singers, composers and artists support the donbass and regularly visit the war with victories, their weapons are words and music culture is precisely part of what we are fighting for

and this is part of the weapons we are fighting with, they carry humanitarian aid to the donbass, they speak to civilians in liberated cities on the front line and for wounded soldiers in hospitals. i, uh , understand very well what it is, but this is the most fierce bandera and i understand that, well, this hydra. must be exterminated. why did they leave the comfortable halls and forget about the riders? why they devoted themselves to supporting the donbass and what they see as their creative mission to live not for themselves is for me seems to be the main feature that unites everyone, both peaceful and military, who are in the donbass and who are with the donbass at heart.

the immortal beginning of sergei rachmaninov's second piano concerto 4 silver weeping notes surrounded by constantly changing accompaniment, as the composer rachmaninov himself said about the basis of the work, perpetuating russian bell ringing in music. it was this concert that sounded on tv during the soviet era, every may 9 after a minute of silence. it was his valentina lisitsa who performed on june 22, 2015 years in donetsk, the day that she considers the beginning

of her return to her homeland. i have played all my life at different world prices. i entertained people. i knew that people would come and listen to pleasant music, then they would go, most likely, drink champagne and get it. in general, a pleasant feeling. so i went on stage for the first time in donetsk and i felt that people listen to music in a completely different way and music has a completely different meaning for me and for them. her world-famous pianist who conquered new york london paris and rome is often called an american performer of ukrainian origin, valentina was born in kiev, then soviet, since childhood. she studied music at the end of school and entered the conservatory. about this kievsky how many years he wrote a moped here. now let's look at 81 years 11 years. when the

union broke up, she and her husband won the first international music competition for ukraine, after which their couple was invited to the west, officially the best piano duo in the world? we were invited to study. continue your studies at the american university, we stayed there, got a green passport card, bought a red sports car house with a swimming pool. all in all, the american dream. now is that period. she seems more like a dream. she immersed herself in music for many years was far from the political agenda of washington until the protests began in her native kiev, which eventually led to a coup d'état. just the collapse of all these things, in which we really sacredly believed , happened precisely from ukraine, because it happened when the maidan took place. both of our parents have

kyiv we know perfectly well what is happening. we are on the phone with our parents. we are told completely different things on tv, which have nothing to do with reality. the first thing that confused valentina was the official translations from ukrainian into english, which, in her opinion, were incorrect, distorting the essence of the events. you know, in my naivety, i thought that well, they have some kind of problem with the translation. these people are here for the first time. they don't understand. i started to help translate. here i was sitting in twitter then. i was translating some fragments of the video, i brought all the posters, and suddenly they began to tell me where you are getting into your own business. shut up and play another warning according to the pianist, she received in the spring of 2014 after the tragedy in odessa and again did not leave the version, the american official and that

relatives and friends living there told her about the fire in the house of the trade unions, i look at this and i can’t believe what's going on, what's this? well, this is some kind of wild, terrible surrealism. and again. this was all denied. these people burned themselves it was an accident how an accident you see, they are being shot at, at that time they were a family moving from america to europe it was more convenient for touring valentina signed a contract with a major international record label and gave under 100 concerts a year. as it continued before the special operation, with the beginning of which they began to demand from it a public condemnation of russia's actions, the organizers began to demand letters of repentance and, moreover, first apologizing, that is, how would we inconvenient, could you write something here.

well, what do you condemn there, or did you measure what it is, then they began to demand, then they came to me in such a mass, there was already. exactly this. so we would write a letter to you for half an hour, or we cancel the concert for our position. she was repeatedly subjected to professional harassment, and the leadership of the toronto symphony orchestra completely deleted her from the concert program. i get it, i'm like they wrote on wikipedia , an american of ukrainian origin, but i don't took the right side. by this time, since 2015, she had been regularly visiting the donbass and received a dpr passport. and now, having become a citizen of russia, valentina and her family live in moscow for her creative schedule. it is painted much ahead, like a pianist, i am

a representative of the russian piano school, this is the same brand, here is the highest world class. that's how mercedes or parmesan cheese or that's how we have this big ballet. so they know that's all about the big ballet and that's how russian pianists are. and this is the world's top level. in

the fifteenth year, i really wanted to do this, because in the first days, when the real war began, which the ukrainian nazi regime began, it became clear for a long time that we were fighting not just some kind of territorial evil with the very unfinished evil of fascism and nazism , which was not completed during the great patriotic war. the video that the musicians filmed virtually non-stop, travel notes, interviews, concerts, and meetings later became part of their author's documentary cycle. tell yourself hello buddy for another day knocked out a life that i did not have. hold on to another like this since the spring of 2015, the creator and former soloist

of the group agatha christie visits the donbass several times a year and speaks to civilians. and after the start of the military special operation, he gives concerts for fighters in hospital units and on the front lines, where it is most difficult for us to perform in front of the military. uh, because they, like, uh, they need a lot of support, like no one else now, because they need to feel, and the commonality of the people with cultural figures, because, unfortunately, among figure culturally observed discrepancy on this issue. we belong to those who are just with the army, who is from the outside who is with the state? the feeling when you go to the stage or the troops in the donbass? well, for me personally. this is not done for

money at all. it's not for fame. this is not an applause, as far as i am concerned, i feel more of a degree. there is some service in this moment. this is also my service, my service. 8 years ago, the audience traditionally asked to perform the standard set of hits by agatha christie now, years later, the repertoire consists for the most part of the compositions written by him, as a response to current events, one of the programmatic ones for berlin from the song was in 2017, and on february 22, a video was released in full,

built on a military chronicle. mine have known mercy from the enemy. there, he displays each verse in his own way, uh, significant. uh, the difference, or something, in the direction of the manifestation of our patriotism and the work of our uh military, there will be peace, therefore it is integrated with everything and alexander nevsky and the great patriotic war and, of course, ends with berlin as the closest, standing to us today in memory e in our victory of our our fact of upholding its e possibility of existence, that is, breaks between trips. in donetsk lugansk, the musician gives scheduled concerts around the country and performs at various actions and rallies in support of his own. during historical large-scale events, the gathering of our russian world back to survive

what sounds from the stage is one of the new ones in it, according to vadim, he tries to answer, first of all, for himself the philosophical question about the role of man in the war for me it is quite obvious that the metaphor russian world unequivocally answers this question, that a person is a person. we are not fighting for war. we are fighting for the world. here we wish it to come as soon as possible. come on, here, this is the same video that we filmed on the ruins of new buildings in donetsk and on the frontier of the life and composition of the lieutenant. sing rock bands, bakhyt compote. the leader of the collective is a poet in odin stepantsov known for his ironic

and hooligan texts. for 8 years now, he has been unconditionally supporting the donbass in conflict with the kiev authorities. i, uh, understand very well what it is, a this is the most fierce banderaism, multiplied by a brutal, uh, brutal. already in the winter in the middle of winter 14 maidan e what is permissiveness and impunity, and a lot, but i communicate with people who live there, fight there and understand that well, this hydra. uh, we must exterminate the shooting of the video took place in the pre-frontal area of ​​​​the capital of the dpr in the center, uh, steel sculptures of culture that were cast from shells and gins dance this guy who dances with a girl, a blonde

is so tall and has a nickname american. he threw in america has come to fight. yes, well, russians, well, i just quit all business. all businesses. and there, in my opinion, it is no longer shining for us 2016, and a few years earlier the musicians presented the composition alleluia, which they originally planned as a universal song prayer , but against the background of the euromaidan that began, it received a different emotional coloring. asterisk light asterisk dropping hallelujah when we recorded the ukrainian uh military units did the finishing work began to iron the civilian

population in donetsk luhansk and in the vicinity. so it just happened for what they wanted, and the new ones are talking about it. let the hallelujah be created. and my friend and cameramen, musician andrei blynnyuk, went to lugansk and here he was filming people there. e starikov, e, the youth of the militias here shot against the background of what is happening against the background of the ruin of the main group, bakhyt-compote of abduction. pontsova. there is a collective mastodon acoustic project a couple of years ago, launched by them with the musicians of the burlesque orchestra trio. this team also supports a special military operation waiting for his girl. yes he jumps forward on his legs, he is on his way hey mathematician and

in the words of the songs, at first glance, light and playful , the characters of people in the harsh realities of the military conflict are revealed, and the main result of all the vicissitudes is the successful overcoming of the difficult path. honor you and the sun sky and soldiers for military field concerts. bakhyt-compot believes that special content is needed, therefore, the leader of the group says the repertoire was formed situationally in the process of performances, watching how the fighters accept each specific song. about her conflicts of rights, lir, you're talking about the relationship of the sexes, uh, about uh rzhachka, foal and all that. that's better, yes, without much fire. you hugged me and i thought that the bullshit would go around getting dirty, heroic paphos well

, they probably have enough of all this from the dusty hands, and there they slurp on the front line, god, i didn’t connect not only work, but also his family roots ancestors on the maternal side, donetsk luchians. vadim recalls that in childhood donbass miner's bone often stayed with them. eh, they e ukraine ukraine speaking my grandmother. even before the war, she taught the children of the vinnitsa region the ukrainian language after the collapse of the ussr, he witnessed how the ukrainian language gradually changed. how words consonant with russian were scrupulously cleaned out of it, and european elixims were selected to replace them, for example, and the group is in

groups. yes, there is a group of the gaza strip, a group of oceans. elsa here. uh, it means that they decided not to use this word from the ninety-seventh of some year, the place of this word group, a group of polish and russian introduced the word herd, that is, a herd. if we say russian people, well, more or less understood ukrainian language come there. eh, in soviet times, now it is almost impossible. people people are very divided south-east of ukraine since perestroika tried to keep the russian language and traditions. why the population was harassed by the kiev authorities about this, the singer based on this composer denis maidanov was told by local residents in the spring of 2022, he visited the donbass on a humanitarian mission. it was very important to hear from

people who spent 13-15 days in cold cellars. at sub-zero temperatures. they were coming out said thank you for coming. we have been waiting for you for 8 years. we have been waiting for you for 30 years. all this time they experienced colossal genocide by ukraine and for the fact that we are russians. we wanted to keep our culture, we wanted to keep our identity of tradition and for everything. this, of course, was a terrible persecution in march. a new song has been recorded. victory, the musician is behind us. he performed it in a duet with roman mind , the leader of the ensemble of the second army corps of the lpr, novorossiya, we believed in salvation, he left. i'm in adler. i realized that i have to protect my home a song about the feat and courage of the defenders of the fatherland who for 8 years defended the russian peace in the donbass and continues to fight for it. it has now become an instant hit. a day after gaining a million views on

the network, remember, guys, the volunteers came with the sunrise. thank you for not leaving us in this difficult hour. the russian world is russian territory and the people living there who speak russian, who carry russian culture, russian traditions, uh, who themselves do not represent themselves as westerners. yes, that is, the entire eastern southeastern, ukraine - that's all. yes, lord, even kiev itself is also a russian city with the dpr and lpr. denis has a lot in common with his grandmother from the city of stalin, when donetsk was called precisely in the early sixties. there they met the future grandfather of the singer and started a family, and his mother was born near the lugansk region. every summer i'm straight from a year old and up to 14 to 15 until i fell apart. union went.

it was called ukraine for my grandfather, and of course, i know how it was there. and it was there, great. so it went on. uh, before the collapse of the soviet union, then later, grandfather with us. well, he began to come to us, my grandmother died. unfortunately, here i am. e, in donbass in 2014 itself, when all the events began, just in 2014, he planned a big tour throughout ukraine with 25 concerts, but these plans were no longer realized. he supported the crimean spring and since then visits donbass annually sang a song that people have known since ancient times, there, uh, personally love and time has passed over us, and i hear this guys denis here, we are standing here fighting with songs, nothing sorry, i'm coming home. this our main song, with which we play around here. somewhere among the military

you understand that sometimes you need to sing some things to lift your spirits, such militants, but somewhere you just need to talk about the house. and somewhere, just vysotsky tsoi , some of our favorite songs, on which we grew up just with a guitar, if you need it easier closer to people, and they really appreciate it and are very grateful for it, the artist must definitely do this after the start and his own denis maidanov many. gives and supports the families of military personnel gives charitable concerts. eternal love was the hit of the debut album of 2009 , which once topped the music charts and to this day is among the most sought after,

like olga kormukhina's kukushka with her singer and on the front line of donbass and on red square on the occasion of the admission of the dpr of the lpr, kherson and zaporizhia to russia areas, it was put by the warriors left such playlists were vysotsky then karma. and here the cuckoo, it was she who was not so popular then, the changes and the blood type, and the cuckoo was not so popular. here is tsoi as she is now promoted, and it was very, of course, it's great and significant that it was a cuckoo. they constantly mine these warriors, who fought in the fourteenth year at the moment of the famous song of viktor tsoi, the singer first performed in 2011 as a single. in 2012 , a year after the release, cuckoo entered the album, falling into the sky, the presentation of which took place after a long creative break of the singer in the

nineties . a stage pause, turning to the spiritual search for oneself vera needs to know after there feelings on feelings. you can go to hell in them with feelings, and many already consider myself orthodox; i’ve returned in this now , i just said i’ll come back to study. pskov, where the archpriest lived and served in the temple. it's all about relationships here. it's all about understanding and acceptance. that's it, which side are you you accept, regardless, somehow the whole appearance is already, but something in the heart, you understand, yes, then many years ago, even before communicating with her father nikolai , olga wanted to go to the monastery, but she was not given

the blessing of spiritual searches. as a result, the marriage of birth, child and creativity was brought to a new worldly turn. the singer received a directing education at vgik, supported the russian olympic team at the vancouver winter games with her husband and again began to release discs, and for the last 8 years, she, like her husband alexei is a fan of the donbass and is constantly there with concerts. you have no idea how important it is when you come to us. when we understand that our work, our work is valued,

there is war. this is work. this is a man's work by olga kormukhina, and there is her own as she calls the battalion of white handkerchiefs, along with like-minded people, throughout the country several times a day. they simultaneously offer prayers for those who are now at the front, the people - this is our family. our clan is a single whole, we are the cathedral, and we are the people of the cathedral. that's when the russians will understand this and begin to act. as they are like cathedrals, and there are a bunch there a bunch of meetings of uh interest clubs, then everything will turn upside down in an instant, everything will change last year, the singer has added things to do, except for the planned concerts. around the country. she speaks for those who are just going to the front and visiting the wounded and injured soldiers in hospitals. it would be faster to recover here and back to hospitals. i understand why they say that, because they are there

for us now in addition to creative and spiritual support. olga devotes a lot of time to practical things along with volunteers. they collect and send humanitarian aid to the zone of special operations for residents and the military. i was just ashamed not to do this when they did it. my friends in such volumes as i do it, for example, doctor glizm and comrades. here's an unforgettable one. here, they are all like that, you know, next to them. here, uh, it happens that in another way it does not work out. stretch your hands in the sky. here it is black, charred, in fact, here it is to reforge the shells of weapons into roses. but the rose is a symbol of donbass, a truly iron rose from

donetsk, the work of a local blacksmith was forged from recaptured shells. viktor mikhaleva is a gift from the residents of the pianist valentina lisitsa from the residents after the concert, you arrive and you feel that you are with your archman and tchaikovsky and beethoven and prokop. you really need music. i realized for the first time in my life that i can do something, you really just entertain people. a bouquet of fresh flowers from chita where she had just returned from the tour gave beethoven and tchaikovsky symphony number three sevastopol, and in general, valentine is known all over the world as queen rachmaninoff - this is her creative pseudonym. this is our everything our cat is our legacy rachmaninov tchaikovsky our composers - this is what we say this is what we are fighting for our culture is to pass it on to our children so that they don’t take away the right to pass it on to our

children second concerto for piano and orchestra it is based on the notes of the bells of st. sophia cathedral. in novgorod, the sound of which in childhood conquered the future composer sergei rachmaninov. valentina performed this work in her first a visit to the donbass on june 22, 2015, according to the pianist of ukrainian origin, it was from him that her personal journey to her homeland in russia began, one can say a lot of high-flown words that we are fighting for the future peaceful sky for our children, and on the other hand, they are already high-flown . these are the most simple truths, because without all these things, giving up all this. and what is the meaning of life to consumerism - a stomach with a head and eyes that watch tv? no, culture

is precisely this part of what we are fighting for, and this part of the weapon we fight.

about the main events of this minute in our news release, ukrainian drones, which the day before attacked military and civilian ships in sevastopol, were launched from the coast in the odessa region. moreover, contrary to all agreements and maritime law, the kiev western intelligence services used the security zone of the grain corridor. the ministry of defense suspended the grain deal, and the west, as expected, threw a tantrum, but now kiev is going to use not only nuclear blackmail, but also food georgy podgorny
