the second week, then of course it is the scandal with the music video of khrystyna silova and serhii zhadan, i repeat that i am extremely flattered by the fact that our mass culture, our culture in general. is discussed simply on such a scale, because, well, since as a journalist i have always dealt with the topic of culture since the fourth, third year there, i observe it all there over the years, and you know, before the start of the war, until 2014, very, very few people were interested in such a concept as ukrainian culture and culture in general, and then, well, if they were interested, it was mostly russian culture, and at first... . war, this interest specifically in domestic, i don't know, literature, art, music, cinema, it increased, but not in the way that it increased with the beginning of a full-scale invasion, because we just see some incredible surge of interest in and to history of ours and in general to any issues related to something humanitarian, it is of course easy to explain that we... somehow did not pay attention to ourselves, to our identity, and here we had to, and

events that happened in ukrainian culture during the last week and we will certainly remember serhiy zhadan and khrystyna silova again, because you know, this scandal around his music video, it continues to drag on, and the main thing i want to say is that i am extremely happy, i know, among you , probably, and among my acquaintances there, there are people who say that they have had enough of this shit , everyone has been fooled, that how can we constantly quarrel, there is another category of people who say: you have nothing more important to do than to discuss some this bullshit around there is another clip or some kind of shit a singer or a singer, some kind of wedding, this lviv will be discussed in the same third week, you better discuss the front and the situation that is happening in the war, you know, and of course, what is happening at the front is the most important thing that exists now in the information field, but i want to tell you that the fact that people are discussing there, for example, olya polyakov or anyone else, does not mean that they are indifferent to the war, or

the second week, then of course it is the scandal with the music video of khrystyna silaviya and serhiy zhadanthat i am extremely flattered by the fact that mass culture, in general, our culture is simply discussed on such a scale, because, as a journalist, i have always dealt with the topic of culture since the fourth, third year there, i have been observing it all over the years and you know, before the start of the war, until 2014, very, very few people in our country were interested in such a concept as ukrainian culture and culture in general, and then, well, if it is interesting. it was mainly russian culture, and with the beginning of the war, this interest in domestic, i don’t know, literature, art, to music, to film, it has increased, but not in the way that it increased with the beginning of the full-scale invasion, because we are just seeing some incredible surge of interest in a, in our history and in general in any questions that concern something humanitarian , this is of course easily explained by the fact that we somehow did not pay attention to ourselves, to our identity, and

and cunningly, even at times, but actually, i think you already know that khrystyna silovy and serhiy zhadanade a music video called the heart, well, and it was once again discussed in the context of such a possible romance between sergiy and khrystyna, but imagine it again, do you remember when the country once discussed romantic relationships on social networks so massively , there was no such thing as a romantic relationship between writers there was, and now i will repeat it, it makes me terribly happy, although you know there are rumors that sergey and khrystyna themselves do not like this kind of attention, but on the other hand, they actively support these rumors, so it seems to me that conversations about their closedness and reluctance to let anyone into one's personal life are somewhat... exaggerated , but the fact is that before people had time to discuss the actual issue of the music video itself, and again, these anchutovs about romantic relationships, a new one appeared , a new, new portion of the scandal, and the representatives of the church of andrew the first-called in lviv

well, in the meantime, let's see what he does. in the southern regions of ukraine, as he writes serhiy zhadanhat is, the zaporizhia direction, a fighter of the legion of freedom, konstantin denisov, mr. konstantin, glory to ukraine, yes, and we see you, but we do not hear, we do not hear, but yes, we hear, now we hear, yes , it's nice to welcome you, good morning, good morning, greetings and greetings to the viewers of espress, tell me what you have been up to for the last day, how is the situation? well, if in two words, then constant arduels, then our map works, which is russian, it’s more like this, battles around the gray zone, although again, i repeat, today in zaporizhzhia, this is a rather conditional concept, a zone, we try and do it to push the enemy from behind... positions, it is very difficult, because they are well entrenched there, the russians are trying to launch counterattacks, but they also do not succeed, because that ours also hold the defense very well there, do not let him move, well, in general, yes, the greater emphasis has shifted to the artillery duel, ugh, and there

still hasn't ended, and that's how it is, you know, the situation is absolutely healthy, when serhiy zhadanegularly appears in the secular chronicles, especially since you know, there is an opinion that he and krestina solovya do not like it when there get into their personal lives, but on the other hand, we see how they , well enough, include themselves in all these discussions, they continue to position themselves, well, as such a mysterious couple, as if we are a couple. as if we are not a couple, people get involved in all this, well, and in conclusion, i will say that khrystyna says that she probably has some kind of strategy for getting into the media for this period, she overachieves in some way, probably some kind of plan, because she also came under discussion literally at the end of the week, because there was such a briefing, well, a small briefing, he usually a small one, but which concerned cultural and psychological assistance to the military, and alexander was present there. representative of the cultural landing, this is such an organization that deals with various, in parti

i'm already there when became friends with serhii zhadan, he helped us there when i was still in the when we had settled down and did not create a medical service, well, somehow his influence too, well, like his creativity, and his, in principle, like of a person too, well, it makes sense to be, well, well, somehow, if it is possible to say that it was my choice and, to some extent , the events that happened to me that affected me in this way, you are on the front got there for the first time in 2014, and at that time and maybe for someone, it was still very the popular thesis that war does not have a woman's face, it is 2014, you are a woman on the front, what did you face then? well, i think in the 14th it was even more difficult than now , because during this period of time, well, you can say , we have had this war for a very long time, there it changes some of its forms, well, but it is still the same war, and from that moment many women were able to show themselves in the army, there are those men who really fought with women there in the same unit, well, they can confirm and sa

interesting events that happened in ukrainian culture in the last week, and of course we will mention serhiy zhadantheir music video, it continues to drag on, and the main thing i want to say that this makes me extremely happy, i know that among you, probably among my acquaintances there, there are people who say that... this shit has already fed up with everyone, that how can we constantly quarrel. there is another category of people who say that you have nothing more important to do than to discuss this bullshit , there is another music video or some other scandal around, a singer or a singer, some other wedding, this is lviv, i am discussing the same for the third week, you better discuss the front and the situation that occurs in the war. you know, of course, what is happening on the front is the most important thing that exists now in the information field, but i want to tell you that the fact that people there discuss, for example, olya polyakova or anyone else, does not mean that they are indifferent to the war, or that they do not notice that they have forgotten about the war, there is also

sing something even more difficult. rather than what she sings, there was also a criticism of serhiy zhadan said that he too could write much more complicated words for these songs, well, that's all, in a word, as always, we are waiting for answers, maybe from other singers, maybe someone will recognize the success of khrystyna solova, well, we are waiting for new scandals, i think that we will already wait for them tomorrow, this is our business, which is being done very fast and very easy, vasyl, thank you very much. chechenina about scandals, i want to say, by the way, because i myself belong to a creative group , as a writer, well, to a lesser extent as a tv presenter, i don’t really understand why scandals in wartime are for creative people, to attract attention to themselves, attract attention with your works , with your works, which will really be discussed not because you simply caused a scandal and did some kind of trick, like someone was banned there or some other such things, make such works that would be quoted abroad, that would be translated into english. in german, not becaus

the ukrainian language, especially modern ukrainian literature, i discovered yuriy andruhovych, serhii zhadanoksana zabushko in high school, it was some kind of new jacket, and i thought, what is it possible, skadivka, you moved to sumy oblast, and from sumy oblast to kyiv, now you teach. schoolchildren of the capital, despite the war, the educational process continues, how is it happening now, how important is it to continue education during the war, what is this importance? well, here i can rush now with a quote from linston churchill, for whom we are fighting, yes, if not for culture, for education, but actually it's very important, especially it was visible in the first weeks, full -scale invasion, and we resumed the educational process in march, in the middle of march 22. online, completely online, children joined from different corners, and i realized then that it is very important , so that the children could simply talk about who, where, who feels what, who communicates, since september we had full offline training, but again, the children got involved there and training was involved,

pictures, something terrible is happening, to be honest, but if you come for dinner, example, serhiy zhadanwill see somewhere about the same, so you know, i conclude that more and more our writers, writers, have an influence on people, people who walk... listening to our writers is becoming more and more, i really see , how they wander to some bigger venues, it is usually pleasing, well, ms. oksana , usually, you know how she likes to joke on... makes an hour-long speech and then says that, you know, it was only an introduction, here somewhere approximately the same, and she will first present her collection, her essays, in particular trip, she deliberately wrote this collection for a foreign audience in order to explain to them all the origins and all the reasons for russia's war against ukraine, because we need to further understand that many foreigners have no idea what is happening in our country in general, despite the fact that, of course, war this one continues live, well, and also ms. oksana once again said that she found such a comparison that suits her from her point of view, she
