11:34 am
ago, in august 2014, the first humanitarian convoy left russia for donbas. at that time , the region was on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe. aggression from ukrainian troops, economic and social blockades are the result of the post-maidan ukrainian regime. at that time, throughout donbas. and active fighting, many enterprises were no longer operating, and store shelves were empty due to the lack of food supplies, which were being obstructed by the ukrainian authorities. in the summer of 2014, ukraine completely cut off the residents of donbass from social security. pension payments and other social benefits were stopped in the region. it would seem that there was no help to be expected from anywhere, but russia sounded the alarm. in august 2014 , the russian foreign minister. the council of europe,
11:35 am
the international committee of the red cross of the un made an official request to organize an international humanitarian mission to the conflict zone. the head of the russian foreign ministry noted that russia had repeatedly tried to send a convoy with humanitarian aid through the ministry of emergency situations, but had regularly been refused passage by the ukrainian authorities. on august 6, 2014, the un security council, at russia's initiative, held an emergency meeting on the humanitarian situation in ukraine. ukraine and a number of western countries , as expected, did not support this proposal. in particular, us permanent representative to the un samantha power then
11:36 am
stated that the us would consider russia's unilateral order, the operation to deliver humanitarian aid to donbass. on august 11, 2014, russian president vladimir putin, in a telephone conversation with european commission president josé barosso, said that russia, in cooperation with representatives of the international red cross, would nevertheless send a humanitarian convoy to novorossiya. at the end of august 2014, the first trucks arrived in the lpr. white kamaz trucks came out to greet civilians with posters and russian flags. the aid was delivered to various cities in the dpr and lpr, a total of 280 vehicles, in which there were about 2.0 tons of humanitarian aid, food, medicine, drinking water, sleeping bags, as well as sets of power plants of various capacities, and already on august 23, the column of the russian emergencies ministry headed
11:37 am
back to the russian federation. since then , the volume of supplies has been constantly increasing. about the history of peace convoys about how they helped and are helping residents. donbass. story by anna efimova. august 2014 the first russian humanitarian convoy leaves for donbass, travels until the last moment, has no exact idea whether it will be able to cross the border. kiev initially agreed on the note with consent for the passage of the russian humanitarian convoy, but after the bureaucratic game began, at that time ukrainian bombs were raining down on the cities of donbass, it is absolutely clear that the situation with the convoy was unhealthy, we tried to strictly follow the norms and principles of international humanitarian law, initially received consent from the ukrainian
11:38 am
side, everyone had the opportunity to verify, including representatives of the media, that there was nothing in these trucks except humanitarian aid cargo, that help to people would be... meanwhile in kiev, it seems, they even savor this situation on ukrainian tv channels, the lack of any help and deprivation of people, livelihoods, benefits, pensions, in
11:39 am
particular, they explain simply, like the cabinet of ministers simply cannot provide them, the humanitarian catastrophe in donbas is prophesied by prime minister arseniy yatsenyuk, because people are already leaving. it soon became clear that asking kiev for permission to help the residents of their own country is a waste of time, columns with huge banners, humanitarian aid from the russian federation went one after another into the hell of the civil war, which in the independent country they stubbornly continued to call an anti-terrorist operation. early in the morning, as scheduled, the convoys left the don rescue center in the rostov region and headed towards the border, a checkpoint.
11:40 am
ukraine, as well as observers of the osce mission. the turning point was 2022, the beginning of a special military operation and the preceding. evacuation of people from the conflict zone became the peak of the workload for the ministry of emergency situations russia. full-scale military actions, of course, could not but affect the residents, who were forced to endure hardships. these were difficult times. all from ... kherson regions, numerous appeals to the russian emergencies ministry, they - did not stop.
11:41 am
the need for humanitarian convoys through the ministry has been declining lately, as noted by the russian emergencies ministry, the dpr, they are not requested at all, the lpr only for the restoration of frontline territories. other organizations are coming to replace them, the boss's regions are doing a huge job, not to mention the funds and numerous ngos that are working on the line today.
11:43 am
the threats, because they simply cannot act differently, sometimes risking their own lives along with the fighters on the front line, as happened with two volunteers from the youth wing of the people's front of the donetsk people's republic, whose car was hit by a ukrainian tochka exactly when they were driving to pick up residents of the glushkovsky district to evacuate, their name was nikolai kovalev and david sokolov, both barely over 20, awarded by the president of russia. in 2015, just when i was working there, what is their almost cult
11:44 am
significance, well, their cult significance, you know, is easy to assess, when you drive up to donetsk on the highway, and in the famous city of ilavaisk, memorable from 1914 , there is this monument of a white kamaz, erected, in fact, on behalf of all citizens of the republic. there is the ministry of emergency situations, it was such a clear expression of the fact that russia is here, russia
11:45 am
is nearby, that of course it had a huge psychological significance, and yes, donbass had to suffer its way to russia for many, many years, but already then, the direct presence of russia there, it was expressed precisely in these humanitarian convoys. the history of the blockade of lugansk in many ways resembles the history of... the blockade of leningrad, so when someone asks, where are the nazis in ukraine, it seems to me that this is a rhetorical question.
11:46 am
have you heard something about how the cities of donbass, so to speak, were subjected to these shellings there, but they simply accepted the version official propaganda that these are the listening terrorists, so to speak, russian, yes, they were shooting at themselves, in this context , the huge mythology that was built in ukraine around these humanitarian convoys is very important, because it was impossible not to notice them, and this penetrated into the ukrainian space, then they did not find... nothing better than to report that these trucks were in fact not transporting humanitarian convoys, yes, because people had no idea, i repeat, that the ukrainian audience had no idea about this humanitarian catastrophe created by the ukrainian army, which means that they were transporting weapons, shells for those same militants, yes for those terrorists, as
11:47 am
the militia was called in ukraine, and this version was so massively disseminated there, absolutely... when we, so to speak, spoke yes about these famous white convoys, yes, it is clear that a huge state mechanism was activated , yes, which, so to speak, provided this from the beginning of the twenty-second year and its yes it has acquired, well, simply grandiose proportions , it is clear that, let's say, the army, so to speak, does not have its own humanitarian structures
11:48 am
, but the military solves its problems , the special services solve their problems, in this situation, until large civilian mechanisms are activated. yes, the role of volunteering, the role of humanitarian aid, it is enormous, this aid, it gives people in, so to speak, on the mainland, yes in russia to understand novorossiya, to feel it, yes, to feel their involvement, and this is very, very valuable, this is, so to speak, a movement, yes, exactly humanitarian, civil volunteer, it certainly became one of the really, as you correctly noted, and the phenomena of everything connected with the newest. thank you very much, sasha, one of the first media people who spoke about the need for systematic humanitarian aid to danbass was people's artist of the ussr iosif kobzon. he was concerned about
11:49 am
the people living in the territories blocked by ukraine having not only food and medicine, but... textbooks in their children's schools, so that cultural institutions could start working, destroyed by shelling, and the employees working in them had a salary, knowing the entire creative path of a truly great artist and a person with a big heart, you can be sure that kabzon simply could not have acted differently. he himself, originally from these places, was born in donbass in 1937. slavyansk, went to first grade in kramatorsk. after finishing school, he entered the victory day in forty-fifth kabzon met in the dnepropetrovsk mining college. there, the future pop singer seriously became interested in sports and
11:50 am
even became the champion of ukraine in boxing among young men. in 1995, he. kabzon was awarded the title of honorary citizen of dnepropetrovsk. this example was followed by about a dozen more ukrainian cities. for a long time , morning trains arrived at the central railway station of dnepropetrovsk to the song of mavsesyan and robert rozhdestvensky. dnepropetrovsk. my home. anyone who has heard this song at least once at the station, in the echoing morning silence of a large industrial city, will never forget it, no matter how hard the current deputies of the dnepropetrovsk city council, who deprived kobzon of the title of honorary citizen of the city, took away the status of the city anthem from the song, which was given to this song. only 10 years ago, and there is no such city on the map, dnepropetrovsk, only dnepr remains, that 's how the townspeople always called it in short, that's how i called it
11:51 am
when i lived and grew up in it, sometimes i just want to break out and say, who are you to decide what songs to glorify this city with, who will be its honorary citizen and pride? kabzon is definitely among these people for many decades to come. in 2015 ukraine suddenly decided that kobzon was a threat to the country's national security and added him to the corresponding blacklist of cultural figures dangerous to ukraine. and in 2018, president poroshenko, by his decree, deprived iosif kabzon of all his ukrainian. he went to his homeland,
11:52 am
despite the bans, sanctions and serious illness, he certainly went with help, in donbass he was not only loved, but respected. for those places, this is a rare quality that says a lot. after 2014, iosif davidovich became the honorary consul of the dpr in russia. how the people's artist was remembered what do fellow countrymen never tire of thanking you for? in olga mokhova's story. october 2014, the opera and ballet theatre. in donetsk, under incessant shelling, but with a full auditorium, a concert of iosif kobzon goes on for 2.5 hours without a break. he came to donbass despite the pressure of the west and the threat.
11:53 am
back in 2003 , a two-meter bronze monument to him was erected on the square near the donetsk palace of youth, although it took about a year and a half to persuade the artist to agree to this. in 2003, the townspeople really a sculptural composition was installed, which iosif davidovich said was not a monument, it was a sculptural composition, and i dream of couples in love making a date here. you could say that donetsk was where his rise to the pop olympus began. as a young boy, iosif kabzon first appeared on stage at the local opera and ballet theater, participated in an amateur art competition, and as
11:54 am
the winner with the song "migratory birds are flying", he was sent to a concert in moscow. and when fate later connected him with the stage, the first time he came to our theater stage, he knelt down, kissed her and said, "this is mine." kabzon paid them salaries for several months from his personal funds, everyone the same, from the cleaner to the director, and then helped with the restoration of scenery and staging of plays. i believed in donbass as a child, when i wandered through the ruins of liberated donbass in... the fourth year, now it is experiencing difficulties, but i am sure that the people of donbass, the residents of donbass will defend their freedom and independence, will blossom again
11:55 am
our beloved city. despite the fact that ukraine deprived him of his titles of merit, kobzon did not stop performing ukrainian songs at concerts, which he loved very much, his mother taught him them as a child. in donetsk, they remember that the audience always cried when the artist sang the song "ukraine nenka, matu". graduates of donbass to enter moscow, the institute of theatre arts, where he taught himself. the guys only had to pass the entrance exams, and kobzon took on the cost of tuition himself. at the institute, his. from
11:56 am
11:57 am
i saw his eyes. in the spring of 2024 , a memorial plaque to joseph kabzon was unveiled in the building of the lugansk circus. in the fourteenth, it was badly damaged by shelling. the windows made of rare display glass were completely broken, there was a gaping hole in the dome from a shell hit. he came here, looked at all this. i told him i say: iosif davidovich, there seems to be a hole in the dome. let's go, i'll show you. he says: no need, i can see everything anyway, i'll help. probably, if it weren't for iosif davidovich, the circus probably wouldn't have been restored. not only financial assistance, medical equipment and personal civic position. kabzon didn't let the cultural life of the warring donbass fade away. in the dpr he launched the festival "i love you life", in the lpr he revived the patriotic song contest "young guard". in donetsk he headed the project "children's music academy for talented children from all over the republic".
11:58 am
more than 70% of the participants of the children's music academy project have linked their fate with professional music studies, now they are either students of the donetsk state music academy, or are already professional artists of the donetsk state academic philharmonic. from 2014 until his death in 2018, iosif kobzon came to donbass more than ten times. always without special demands, very modestly, he sang exclusively live, believing that this is the only way tell the story and be the audience on one emotional note, in donetsk they say, we have no other fellow countryman like kobzon, a great artist, a real person, a great friend of donbass. olga mokhova, anastasia popova, valery savelyev, typical novorossiya. that's all we wanted to talk about today. kirill vyshinsky was with you.
12:00 pm
