serhiy meydukov immediately refused to receive the award on one day .ed the organizers about this in his letter. let 's listen to what he said. it was a surprise for me. that i was elected, i received a letter about a month ago, at first i said that i would come together, in subsequent correspondence i wrote that i would not come at all, i want to put most of the money in a monobank where i collect for a car for zsu well, what about lyudmila ulitskaya, she is such a typical representative of good russians , because on the one hand, she has always been so anti-putin, well, at least what i remember , but at the beginning of the large-scale invasion, she left russia for berlin , giving a large number of interviews and together with the anti-war position and the position of condemnation of the russian government, she still justifies ordinary russians and their inaction, this time and she also says that how could this happen, the ukrainian and russian peoples were so close as a family. she even calls them and she is also categorically against any cancellatio

for example, this award is a remark from the members of the jury they said no give everything serhiy meydukovdon't refuse our award, we will ask lyudmila in the summer well, okay, to delete it, we will not give her this award, only you leaving us like this there is not, and we see that ukrainian culture is far from having the weight that russian culture has, because the soviet union and russia invested an incredible amount of money both directly in art and in establishing ties. therefore, this process of shifting is very very difficult, and in particular also because we see that the state has completely removed itself from this process, neither the ministry of culture nor the state agency for cinema does almost anything, moreover, in a recent interview with me, the deputy head of the state cinema, maryna kudarchuk, maksym oleksandrov said that he doesn't see any problems abroad at all, no culture war. let's put it this way, we won't lose information at all. kate, but the opinion of our cinematographers is, unfortunately, now you will hear my conversation with the producer olga bez khmelnytsky
