hello kirill vyshinsky, and this program is a typical novorossiya, our new name says it all, we are talking about the territory that has returned to its historical roots - novorossiya. we will continue to follow the ukrainian processes. we will analyze them. and yet today, in our opinion, it is much more interesting to observe how life in the donbass of the zaporozhye and kherson regions is changing in the new russian regions with the help of a careful look at the history of novorossia. we will try to reveal the originality of her present day in

it has typical features and recognizable signs of the past. and that's what we'll talk about today. defenders of novorossia yesterday's hard workers today's wars, how miners and metallurgists have become a combat-ready army conversation with an expert of the program, when they say the guns of the muses are still not silent, theatrical life of donbass these days the country celebrates the day of the defender of the fatherland in a special atmosphere. today, from the traditional and even somewhat ritual men's day, the holiday of professional military men and those who, as far as they would have served in the army, has again become the day of warriors.

all those who stood up to protect our fellow citizens and compatriots, their near and dear borders of the fatherland and its sovereignty, their hundreds of thousands of professional contract soldiers, volunteers and mobile infantrymen , tankers, special forces, artillerymen, signalmen, pilots , and fighters of many other specialties, they are courageous, skillful, disciplined and know what they are fighting for. at the front, or as they say now on the line of contact. there are tens of thousands who are fighting for their homeland because of our common fatherland for more than a year. these are fighters. a then the people's militias of the donetsk and lugansk people's republics, those who in 2014 became the core of the army of novorossia, then in the spring of 2014 - these were ordinary men who were indignant at the lawlessness of the euromaidan, left their machines and mines and practically with their bare hands.

they went to stop the armored personnel carriers and tanks of the armed forces of ukraine. then they took up arms, because they did not want to forget their history, they wanted to speak and teach their children in their native language , they were not ready to become part of anti-russia. they quickly became disciplined and skillful military ordinary people with civilian professions turned into real warriors. a soldier is discipline, subordination, order and duty of soldiers are part of a large and highly organized warrior machine - this is courage and strength. skill initiative. this is a soldier with great experience and high motivation, whose character was hardened in the difficult conditions of the war, speaking about these people , the president of russia and the supreme commander-in-chief highly appreciated the quality of the defenders of donbass and novorossiya. first of all, i want to say that the man of your

very worthy just really very effective. on december 202, the first and second army corps of the donetsk people's republic and the lugansk republic, as well as the donetsk higher general military command school, were included in the armed forces of the russian federation, russian president vladimir putin handed over the battle flags to this formation. and those who courageously and selflessly defend novorossiya in 2014, in the plot of marinka, the nearest suburb of donetsk, fighting in this area has been going on since 2015. it is nice here. we dug in. all these years

right from here. the shelling of residential areas of donetsk was carried out because of which civilians died . today, our artillery and tanks are actively working in the fortified areas. in essence , our direction around the lines is such that we have, in essence, only trenches and industrial buildings. it is clear that before the fight anxiety. there are a lot of emotions before the fight. all of these are experiences. they accumulate inside you, accumulate accumulate and you go out into the field and complete calm detachment and only now the work is literally on the days we recorded on the most advanced valley of the front just a few hundred meters during the interview, now and then you can hear the sounds of arrivals and exploding shells. well, i'm a driver, 72. and before that i served

on burden, i evacuated equipment to the battlefield, when marinki knocked us out . the commander and gunner were left without communication, they lost consciousness, and i decided to take the tank to the battlefield. through a minefield. here everyone has already managed to gain combat experience. among the fighters of those who once formed the backbone of the militia participated in the battles under debaltsevo and ilovaisk was taken under control. donetsk airport before the war came to the donbass these people worked as rescuers, tractor drivers, miners, whoever and everyone had their own reason to go to war. my son was born, the war started, they started shelling donetsk, and i made a decision for myself that i could protect my family. only i myself will not take care of anyone. and since i can do it anyway, if we had not gone on the offensive, they would have come to us. you just took the first step ukraine and

the collective west supporting it constantly crossed the red line, the disruption of the minsk agreements, the time that, instead of resolving the conflict, was used by kiev to prepare for a large-scale war against the inhabitants of donbass, today the former leaders of france, germany and the most independent and, of course, endless. pumping ukraine weapons. we are heavy machinery. after long disputes, the countries of the west, nevertheless , agreed on the rate of tanks of american abrams and german leopards. however, our the fighters are ready to give them a warm welcome, what can i say, abrams leopards, challengers. everyone says everyone is burning the same tower will fly off. everything and the earth will burn and the metal will burn. we are not afraid of them. we will burn them all for you, let them come, we will show you. donbass, character militia volunteers mobilized contract soldiers all in the same trenches. this was already a single military brotherhood . and after the liberated territories of donbass became part of russia

, it is, in principle, inappropriate to separate its fighters. component and say nothing already real goal real threat. here, uh, which concerns not only donbass, but now it concerns russia, our common motherland. that is why many volunteers from different regions of russia began to come here even before the start of mobilization. far east siberia urals , of course, neighboring kuban, yes, about which ukrainian nationalists shouted from ukraine today, the enemy’s mood has changed in most cases, more aggressively with their country. they felt some kind of confidence behind them. uh, some power. now this is no longer the case. initiative. eh, on present day. e are in the hands of our units russian units. we see a steady and confident progress of our divisions forward. we see, uh, weekly reports of the liberation of the territory

, we see, uh, how the morale of our units rises. and, uh, apparently, the opposite results are directly about everything, while shells are exploding at the front , the hearts of anastasia, a paradise student from st. petersburg , left for the front at the beginning of a special military operation, the father has since then. she i correspond with him regularly. my dad left on contract last year. he is a talented mechanic, both in life and at the front. he has now found himself. ah, his task is to transport the wounded , transport the dead, and he also takes soldiers to the front line after talking with his father anastasia writes poems and publishes them on the internet. she says that this is her way to support and hug each fighter, and so far one

of the bloody dawn. you see the smell of a wild beast warming up on shoes, mariupol anastasia says that sometimes. bold adversaries they criticize her online, but never to her face. well, the importance of such support for the fighters who are now on the front lines is difficult to overestimate ; forward. well, we see support from people all the time. that is, we have correspondents. they constantly bring letters from cities and schools. eh, normal. uh, toys are usually origami by kids who are just trying express your support to us. that is, it is also very touching and evokes a cool feeling there in the trenches of the donbass in victory, no one doubts, as well as that they are right. in the end, what was called smo in russia

became a response to another kiev abbreviation, and then the so-called anti-terrorist operation during which kiev killed people in the donbass for years anna efimova valery savelyev anastasia popova is a typical novorossiya. about how yesterday's miners and metallurgists became a combat-ready army, we will talk with our permanent expert to historians, political scientist alexander vasiliev. sasha good afternoon. hello ukrainian propaganda since 2014 literally from the first days. uh, the beginning of the anti-terrorist operation. this was the name in ukraine of this operation in the donbass when they began to use the armed forces against unarmed people all the time ukrainian propaganda told that they were actually fighting not with the militias, but with the russian army. it really was so really the backbone and the basis of the personnel who

fought against the ukrainian army these years, a and the ukrainian so-called volunteer battalions were, of course, the natives of donbass already at certain critical moments , and there really was combat support from the side of russia, i assure you that, as it were, in the front ranks, but there were guys who had at that time everyone had formally, and blue passports yes, ukrainian as in a short time, uh, getting the donbass could become a very combat-ready armed forces. that's what brought these people together, what organized them. let's take a look at uh, even outstanding uh, there commanders. for example, the militias of the majority, oh, who are no longer with us commanders. ah, the first waves. and here we can givi and fat mikhail and a and alexei mozgovoy and alexander zakharchenko there. and none of them directly worked at the moment when he took up arms, e.g., neither in

the mine, but not in there at the rolling mill. yes, these were people often, uh, from small businesses and the service sector. that is, just those who find it easier, but make a decision for a radical change. e your life, relatively speaking, if you are a taxi driver or and you, for example, have a small coffee shop of your own or if you are an it specialist, yes, because it is considered, as if all it specialists, for some reason they are yes, no, the donetsk creative class is unconditional, but in the first wave, after all, if we talk specifically about the proletarians, there were no as much as it is customary to talk about it, and when they began to turn it into e, in the fifteenth year, two corps, yes, which, according to the staff list , in fact, it was a kind of model, and the russian army transferred to the donbass and staffed by these people. and just then , many enterprises stopped. yes and many here are people like this, so to speak, proletarians. yes, they are already, but they got up to join , uh, these buildings. and, on the contrary, many are such

passionaries. yes, they began to leave them on and, for example, in donetsk, i can say that anyone who has been there for these years is not there, there is nothing surprising there, let's say you call a taxi, you go with a driver. he will tell you, and here i am in the fourteenth year, here we fought like this, well, such a story and absolutely. that is, this person does not brag and the goal is not somehow trying to say so himself. and this part of his biography. yes, because when we are talking about this military sphere. we must clearly understand that there are two fundamental things, uh, fight and serve in the army. it's not the same thing. and now donbass has proved, when we say now that these donetsk corps, which, well, i'll be honest. yes, in order not to reveal reality, there were a lot of problems in them. during these eight years. suddenly, fighting began. these are intense ones along the entire huge front, and they showed themselves perfectly, which is what he himself already said, well, the president said it. yes, why is that, because this is a fighting army, yes, and this experience of war it is impossible to replace it with any training, but to replace we see that the war

is not very maneuverable. yes, in fact. from the same donetsk, here is the front directly next to the neck with denis. he practically didn't move. that is, absolutely the same war is going on there now, to which people are already accustomed, which they have been waging for these years. it's just that now they have more free hands, because we know that they really tried to fulfill the minsk agreements and they really tried to fulfill them, yes, and again, this was not popular with the military in donbass , many left, because, well, from the staffs of the armed forces, they again became in them in the twenty-second year. yes, because, well, under the terms of the minsk agreements, it looked completely different. here, uh, these are. well, the main factors in this sense, and the main thing, of course, is motivation, that is, people literally fight on their own land. and in the donbass it is for obvious reasons. er, well, above average. i would say so today, hulls people's militia of the dpr lpr became part of the armed forces of the russian federation what does this mean for yesterday's militias, and how

will it affect? what kind of experience will this give to the armed forces of the russian federation? so here i would really like it to happen, well, as it were, all the best was taken from one system from another , and by uniting we would get even more results on the one hand. hey, i'll start talking. from the side yes, here is the donbass yes on the one hand, of course, there are social guarantees social standards for military personnel, because here is ours, ours the viewer must understand this huge difference that lies between a volunteer and between a person who has been mobilized or served on a contract and takes part in hostilities. when you volunteer, and no one will receive any payments in the event of your death there or disability. and no one, uh, no matter how you get any pension there. in 1915, i worked in donetsk and they made such a direct line with alexander zakharchenko, that is, citizens and a significant part of the appeals turned to him. it was people.

they were widows. these were their orphans. uh, the fathers died, and fighting in the ranks of the famous battalions. yes, in fact. these people could not even document properly, but to confirm, because just imagine there what kind of person there is, and there i don’t know the cossack unit in the summer of the fourteenth year, what documents does he have, how can you confirm this? what? in general, he fought, but people were already dying, and so on. and uh, now it’s very important that all this, we already in the russian federation, all this needs to be introduced into the legal field, the second, of course, that's, uh, the material part of the provision. it is clear that uh, well , it’s an open secret from where, but these corps of the dpr lpr received the main weapons, but we will also understand that, of course, not the most modern systems. and they went to provide the corps, uh, and in this regard, they lagged behind, so to speak, in addition, the most important thing. this is the personal protective equipment of the fighters. that is , it is banal than everyone says body armor and helmets, as for what russia and

the russian army will receive. uh, i repeat that the russian army receives people who did not serve in the army, and those who fought for these eight years, but also fought with an enemy that is superior both in number and e, in terms of armaments there, and so on and so forth. this experience is not appreciated. i think that it is very important not to let this experience get lost. and so you remembered there about the revolutionary civil war. understand? what careers did people make when yesterday's non-commissioned officer? yes, he quickly took out a dekomdilo, yes, yes, and then these people were sent to the great patriotic non-commissioned officers. world war i yes became marshals of victory and now should be the same thing, that is, it is very important to give these people your e, to pass on your experience, but this war, but hmm to those, so to speak, the russian professional army. there should be no nazma here. and here, on the contrary. this is how cooperation should be. and here, i think, this also needs to surprise attention. thank you

very much for a very interesting story. when the guns speak, we will be silent. this is a well-known phrase that during the war there is no place for art, there is no place for beauty, especially when the conversation of guns is not a metaphor, but daily shelling of donetsk and other cities of donbass and novorossiya to gather spectators at the performance in such a situation. it means risking their lives and health, but the artists working at the donetsk opera house are still rehearsing and planning new premieres. last year , the theater celebrated its 90th anniversary. they gathered to celebrate the opera prince igor, but the military escalation changed the plan. now the performance is being prepared for showing in crimea and as soon as it becomes possible, they will gather spectators in donetsk donbass opera plans one more premiere

together with the moscow kremlin ballet, they stage war and peace to the music of vyacheslav ovchinnik, but the poster of the lugansk academic ukrainian music and drama theater on the defensive is planned until the end of february, the performances are on the big and small stages in the repertoire of russian fairy tales for children and soviet classics. operettas and musical productions don't fit the scenes of last season's premiere of a rock opera dedicated to the eightieth anniversary of the krasnodon youth underground organization. the young guard leads the corpse of the people artist in the ussr and the lpr in the past soviet film actor mikhail golubevich. he starred in sergei bondarchuk's novel balayan pavel lungin x and the plans of another theatrical group

of novorossia , the corpses of the mariupol drama theater in the plot of olga mokhova. goes past eight. it was, of course, about the soul of a soldier and the share of the performance based on the chapters of the poem by alexander tvardovsky vasily terkin is designed for traveling performances of the team mariupol theater dedicated to the eightieth anniversary of the liberation of donbass from the german occupation, the hero, who does not lose heart under any circumstances, the lightness of the story and the heartfelt song appealed to both the mariupol rescuers and the schoolchildren, and anything at least the position of the theater is something that i really will already destroy. it has not been really visited for a long time. it will be interesting to see. and even more so, we will study this composition in the eighth grade for the last time in the theater, i don’t know, maybe 2 years ago. well, somewhere in the gram theater when there was somewhere a long time ago. more well

in general, i like going to the theatre. today we are very pleased that the theater is such a success. this is not the first performance that we hold an away performance. that's why every time the artists give all their best at the time of preparing our story , the corpse was preparing to move and lived in anticipation of full-fledged rehearsals after the theater building was blown up on march 16 last year, its team was literally left without a house, part of the structure cannot be restored. meanwhile, the artists sought to return to work already at the end of may, because how to live without a stage and spectators. now we are moving to the philharmonic. and before that, we were in the pioneer house, it was cool, until the renovation began, of course, it froze in the fall. but now i think everything will be fine. we will move, we will get our own comfortable stage, comfortable dressing rooms. here we believe a better future in august

, the mariupol theater has a new bad. artistic director alexander rostov left his family in moscow and a good job behind him, great acting experience as a director says that he offered his help in the organization of the front concert brigades a he was entrusted with a theater with a rich history and great misfortune, when i arrived and i had the first meeting with a small number of 15 people. the collected corpse of the russian drama theater, i told my friends, wherever we were for the first 35 seconds. we will be judged as fire victims. well, let's just say with a certain amount of pity and understanding, but at the thirty-sixth second it will require art, and they did not disappoint. neither a dick nor a spectator yearning for the usual pre-war life in six months staged 10 exemplary performances. their productions were attended by over 15,000 spectators

, first for free, then for a small fee. during this time, the artists went on stage more than 100 times, and they were called many times to bow to the premiere of their eldest son. today, 26 artists have returned to their native theater. this is half of the pre-war corpses, and another 10 people of the orchestra and six dance workshops. they live in the same way as all the rest of mariupol among war-torn houses with communal problems, measuring the routine of their lives according to the curfew. and we we continue to live, because thanks to the fact that culture lives, the theater has revived , the city will revive and our life in our republic will revive , the team has plans for the second half of the theater season.

it can be said that the grandiose ahead of four premieres is already ready to be shown on the stage of the mariupol philharmonic, a performance based on the play by jack monsieur american, followed by a theater production of roulette diamonds, as well as a chic wedding plans to end the season with a musical based on the story of alexander sergeevich pushkin dubrovsky music wrote, by whom alexander breiburg, honored art workers of the russian federation, he gave us this creation and he himself will come with his wife. vocal teachers here with gitis, and, uh, to master the musical parts. we hope that we will master this material because there are voices, so to speak. and most importantly, there is a desire builders from st. petersburg. now the brothers of mariupol are promising to restore the theater building in 2 years exactly according to the samples of what adorned the theater square of the city before the war, the team. now supports. almost the entire theater after all, russia needs literally everything, but only equipment to musical instruments, but the

145-year history of the mariupol theater must certainly continue. anastasia popova valery savelyev typical novorossiya that's all we wanted to talk about. kirill vyshinsky was with you today. see you soon.
