[000:00:00;00] according to interests within the framework of this or that project , but for some reason we have a lot connected with lugansk, this year we celebrated the fifth anniversary in may of this year, the mikhailovsky theater in st. petersburg is 190 years old, on one of the oldest opera stages in russia in honor anniversary concert of aida garifulina with a symphony orchestra, among the premieres of this season is the opera carmen by george bizet and the ballet bright stream by dmitry shestakovich. and today the governor of st. petersburg presented the theater employees with awards. what the theater loves today, you managed to make it yours professionalism, your know, such activity with your soul, they made it so that indeed, the mikhailovsky theater today is one of the best, not only in ours, in our russia, but throughout the world, i would like

come to the russia forum exhibition. hello, this is kiril vyshnsky, and this is a typical navarusse program. our name says it all. we talk about the territory that has returned to its historical roots. about novorossiya. with the help of a careful look at history, we will try to reveal the uniqueness of its present day, and find typical, recognizable features. signs of the past, that’s what new unity is about, how novorossiya was revived , the russian spring, why it couldn’t have been any other way, a conversation with a program expert, his dream took flight, a native of donbass, pyotr bolobuev. russia recently celebrated national unity day, a holiday that

reminds us of the moment in history when those who recognized themselves as part of russia, as a source strength and foundation of a great state. this is what became the main content of this holiday. it was celebrated with particular enthusiasm in the new territories of novorossiya. for the people living here, a spiritual connection with their native land, culture, history and memory of their ancestors is not an empty phrase. lives were given for this, in the odessa house of trade unions, crimea from chi voted for this in a referendum, this is not only an appeal to this, but a struggle today for unity with russia, for the right to be russian. residents also voted to join the russian federation a little over a year ago. zaporozhye and kherson regions. an important argument for them was the understanding of the historical unity of the territory of novorossiya and greater russia. the russian victory made the territories between the danube and don part

of the russian empire. since the end of the 18th century, the former wild field begins to develop dynamically, the steppe opens up, new cities grow, a powerful fleet is built in the crimea, colonists form a motley multinational community of residents of novorossiya. at the end of the 19th century , a russian foreign entrepreneur, john hughes, hungered for the steel heart of russia, and little russian columbus alexander paul opens. krivoy rog mining basin. the revolution of 917 and the civil war led to the creation of several republics in new russia, which presented themselves as part of the new russia, the same donetsk-krivorzh republic, but with the advent of the ukrainian soviet, most of the region was transferred to its composition. the top

party leadership hoped that the donbass proletariat would dilute the large and politically unstable ukrainian clergy. crimea remained russian for a long time, becoming part of ukraine only in mid fifties past. centuries, then it seemed that being in the ossr would not break the historical, economic and human collapse of the ussr in the ninety-first changed everything, novorossiya became the southeast of independent ukraine, a once fraternal country that first decided to become not russia, and then anti-russia. in 2014, residents of crimea, donbass and southeastern ukraine. realized that radical nationalists came to power, ready to commit mass murders for the sake of eradicating the russian language, culture and common historical memory with russia. people decided

resist. the russian spring has begun, imbued with the spirit of the revival of new russia. about this in the story of anna efimova. blaklava. villages greeks buffs for fighters on the front line here in donetsk they sew you was still just a child, almost her entire adult life was accompanied by the roar of war. many guys have fathers at the front, but they themselves do not stay away. over the past 2 years , dozens of sets of clothes for fighters have been sent to the front lines, showing that in order to be together, you don’t have to be close. this means i can help in some way to the military, and we can preserve and give them warmth and comfort. home, so that they feel that we are working during the holidays, because we understand that the guys there are on the front line, we are here on the front line, we are shoulder to shoulder, for fighters such support is especially important, without

the feeling of a reliable rear, without a specific single goal, for the sake of what and in the name of whom to fight is impossible to advance at the front. vladislav yevtushenko has been on the front line for the ninth year already, back in 2014, when the first facts appeared and donbass arrived from neighboring ukrainian poltava. that, that will probably never be forgotten, this is this upsurge, a truly popular uprising, which now, after a while , of course, in many ways is looked at and rethought as somewhat naive, but then it all seemed, well, it couldn’t be otherwise, let’s put it this way , the state of life of death, it has by and large been preserved since the fourteenth year, everyone understands that if we do not win, then we simply will not exist, people like vladislav fought and are fighting shoulder to shoulder with those whom in his

formal homeland ukraine became after the maidan to be called separatists and colorados, for refusing to recognize the results of the inherently criminal kiev coup d'etat for quite clear rejection, they took up arms in the fourteenth year, unfortunately they defended today, the lugansk cadet school is not just a pantheon of heroes, it is a forge of new professional military personnel. more than 250 students study in the cadet corps; they come here as eleven-year-old boys and graduate from adult institutions in our country as adults. ukraine screams there all the time, she is shouting about russia about donbass. shouted that these people are slaves, it turned out exactly the opposite, that there is human dignity in these people, a willingness to sacrifice their lives, uh, so that the lives of others who will remain after you

correspond to the principles that are near and dear to you , every day with arms in hand, for the simple reason that for many years, not even 10, not 20 or even 30 years, the ukrainian identity was imposed on us, but it doesn’t matter that you speak russian, it doesn’t matter what you think in russian, it doesn’t matter that all your relatives are in russia, you are not russian, you are russian-speaking ukrainians. donbass is now associated with trenches, exploding shells, war with heroism, but not only on the front line, it is committed by doctors, teachers, factory workers, ordinary store clerks, all those who, despite everything, support a fragile peaceful life here , but there is another special category of people, these are volunteers, it’s a little difficult to deliver from supplies. but we got it, we are very we are glad, god willing, that senechka will now be in a new stroller, it was with volunteerism that the work of the donetsk foundation good time began in 2014, which now systematically helps children with serious illnesses, such as cancer or spinal muscular

dystrophy, as well as children status, and the children are orphans, and the indicator, unfortunately, is growing, since the diseases do not go away, and there is a very, very similar trigger and , of course, is the military situation in donetsk, the indicator is not decreasing at the moment, we always have work. 80% the children cared for by the foundation are incurable. patients here with parents, volunteers, doctors, despite all the circumstances, accompanying families, palliative visiting teams that visit terminally ill patients at home, including in areas located almost on the line of combat contact, in gorlovka, inakiyevo and others , all this is just part of the foundation’s great work. currently, we work as an on-site palliative service with the involvement of medical specialists on a contract basis; in the future we plan to form teams of our own who will be the pioneers of this direction in our region,

we adopt the experience of our colleagues from other regions, we actively communicate, interact, and try to understand how we can build this system in our own country. in a word, donbass knows how to fight, knows how to win, knows how to unite to achieve any goals. this power is especially felt here, otherwise how can one explain that it is here that the center of the so-called russian world, the world, has now shifted. about the russian spring and why there could not have been a referendum in 2014 and in the fall of the 22nd in another way, we will talk with our regular expert, political scientist, historian, alexander vasiliev. sasha, good afternoon, hello, by the way, could it have been in the donbass in novorossiya in 1914 the same as in 2004, after the orange maidan, the authorities, here you need to understand that, firstly, the coup d’etat itself in kiev, yes, it

turned out to be much bloodier, yes, in fact , it forced the armed character, if you remember, in 2004, then the maidan was managed to be kept in these purely technologies of the color revolution, it all ended in court, not violent resistance, well, even the character itself, but this was later translated into politically completely unfair, in fact, let ’s say so, novorossiya, but declared that it was ready to oppose. themselves to kiev and move in the direction of sovereignty, and this very seriously frightened the kiev elites, who, i would say, at that time, well , compared to today, turned out to be more adequate people, turned out to be more responsible people, who understood how ukraine works, that she always balanced from the ninetieth, as it were read, the people who came to power in 1914, they generally didn’t consider it necessary... to pay attention to anyone, they considered themselves triumphants, winners,

this is the wave that carried them to the top, yes, it just these people, well, the absolute adequacy has been erased, you can read the transcripts, for example, of this one, well , what the people called the junta, so to speak, yes, that is, this sndo, yes, yes, given the events in the crimea, the security forces stated , yes, these russians drink vodka, nothing, well, that is, they’re about to disperse everything, yes, that is, level, level. year and of course people, ordinary people, voters who, on the territory of historical novorossiya, have been defending a very specific, understandable vector since 2004, but now there is full-fledged self-government of the regions, and the closest possible ties with russia, and it became clear that all this is simply not the same , so that it is under threat, yes, but no one... will not build a balance like in the fourth year, yes,

they will definitely destroy, push through, destroy, and then, yes, it was just, well i will say, it was a spontaneous reaction, just a response, yes, as if an alternative to it would be - well, just so to speak, there is an erasure of identity, loss of oneself, yes, that’s what people themselves made this choice then, yes in person, so to say, as an activist represented by the most passionate part of the residents there, but en masse, in fact, relying on mass support, it was clearly visible that these were the people who lived there, who did not simply accept what happened in the country, the national unity of russia, what about think about it, and is there a difference? in these representations, for example, in the donbass and crimea, in zaporozhye and in the kherson region, it may seem to someone that this is a completely new holiday, yes for our regions, but

in fact no, uh, even before the events of the fourteenth year before the events of the russian spring, largely predetermining them into ethical actions, on the day of national unity, starting the tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth year , in donetsk there were such marches and so on and so on, that is, this too must not be lost, what do you know, how is the government now? changed, now the new government seems to be imposing, no, no, there were forces, people who understood this before, besides , look, here we have the day of national unity, he, uh, where he was born from, yes, this is when the militia of minin and bozharsky, yes, liberated, that’s what it is for donbass: militia, yes, that is, some kind of cult word and inseparable from the events of the fourteenth year, in fact, and so to speak, continuing to this day, you often hear the expression novorossi project, if there is a project,

then it should be some idea, some general the meaning of this project, that’s the meaning of the novorosiya project , what catherine essentially did, these new annexed novorossiyas... they became such a unique, well, in a good sense, testing ground where this idea of ​​russia of the future was implemented in the 16th century, in the 19th century they implemented it, yes, because by the beginning of the 20th century there were the first aviators, there were cars and so on, all this too, everything was also connected, of course, with novorossiya, yes, now for us, even innovations, yes, this message , that in this territory it is possible, well, some... so to say, well, bold reforms, yes, to introduce some advanced practices, and this was very relevant for the fourteenth year, and i think that this idea, yes, it should under no circumstances be lost from focus, sasha, thank you , it was very interesting and of course, thank you for such optimistic

words in the finale, to the people that novorossiya gave to the world , pyotr vasilievich balabuev, a man whose dream... took off: soviet aircraft designer, developer of the series aircraft, creator of the legendary ruslan and mriya, the largest in the world of the an-225 aircraft. pyotr balabuev was born in 1931, on the valuysk farm, he was a partisan, and twelve-year-old peter became the main breadwinner in the family for his mother and two sisters. in the fifties he graduated from kharkov. aircraft mechanic. by assignment he ended up in the kiev antonov design bureau, where they created aircraft of the antonov series. pyotr balabuev was a student colleague and first deputy of oleg konstantinovich

antonov, the man under whose leadership the famous an-22 was designed, the world's wide-body aircraft, which in the sixties surpassed all others in size existing analogues and could lift loads of more than 80 tons to a record height. verse since its chief designer. the collapse of the ussr dealt a serious blow to the aircraft industry. the design bureau developed aircraft in kiev, and most of the subcontractors worked in russia. balabuev, who sought to maintain cooperative ties, headed the consortium of a medium transport aircraft, he was supposed to bring the new an-70 to the market through russian-ukrainian efforts. after the orange maidan in 2004, the new government decided to reorganize akbb antonov,

merging it into one concern with several air transport and refocus on receiving western ones. balabuev understood that this would lead to the collapse of the country’s aviation industry, he resigned, and after 4 years a state program for the development of the ukrainian industry by 40% was adopted. since 2015, serial production of aircraft in ukraine has been discontinued. about pyotr balabuev, the creator of airplanes, in the story of olga mokhova. almost in the very center of the village of lugansk, in victory park, a memorial was erected in honor of the partisan soldiers who died during the great patriotic war; on the granite day he had to walk from his native farm and the return trip is more than four kilometers away. he was very fond of planting, planting

young forests, and when it was necessary to plant trees along the route from the village of luganskaya cretaceous to nizhnyelkhovaya, he organized school youth. parents were indignant that their children needed to study at school, the secretary of the komsomo committee at the institute, the head of the student government committee, balabuev, from his youth named after antonov, achieved a six-hour working day for his employees. he said that our woman spends the last 2 hours at work thinking about what to do at home, and then at home he still comes and works 8 hours, spent at the state level , which means in antonov’s company, that is, at a plant in kiev in b, women worked 6 hours, while receiving the same salary as for eight. at the same time , he was strict and demanding with his subordinates, did not retreat from his superiors in the face of difficult problems, and did not fawn. in 1980, the collapse of the union, pyotr bolabuev met with mikhail gorbachev, at the boryspil airport, in the cockpit of mriya, which had just passed tests, the aircraft designer

privately outlined his plan to ensek development of production, allowing to retain a unique team of specialists. the result of the conversation was the creation of a profitable commercial airline. ruslan, they started transporting them from gorbachev. and then , with the collapse of the soviet union, these planes simply... they didn’t give it back, plus they later started several planes; in general, they used these ruslans to support their company. they say that the legendary general designer of the okb, olek antonov, in his will asked to appoint pyotr balabuev after himself, trusted him completely. production components for the giant ruslan were installed in tashkent, but the question arose of how to deliver the huge products to kiev for the final assembly of the prototype. balaboev suggested... covering the an-124 by air, like on the roof of a regular passenger car, using

the an-22, antey. before this, in world practice there was no such example of transporting cargo in the sky weighing 23 tons and longer than 35 m. it has a more powerful engine, but the post-soviet devastation prevented the -3 from becoming as popular. during bolobuev’s work, a lot of things were done interesting. transport aircraft, boloboev thought about replacing the an-24 aircraft, so the an-140 and -148 were made, the car was already more modern, in 1989 there were only two soviet ones, the su-27 fighter and the an-225. mria, the presentation of which became a world sensation, was created specifically to transport the unique buran spacecraft as the first stage. at its launch , the aircraft, which is capable of lifting air 250 tons, this in itself,

of course, was impressive, to make this machine demolish its double-air high degree, two-horsepower jet engines, this, of course, was a big, big, big achievement, in soviet times it was still possible to occupy them, although i think that, well, there may be several mriyas would have been needed for within the framework of the soviet union for its management, and of course, for ukraine, when these guys are western, they first of all have only their own interests in mind, even taking into account the political component, then this did not happen. creating such unique machines , pyotr boloboev nevertheless urged not to get carried away, as he himself said, with things, but he advocated serial mass production, because airplanes should first of all serve people, this was both his calling and his dream. he believed that the human dream is that a person lives through life and
