suspicion of a conflict of interests, etc., because, well, i watched the development of the shevchenko prizecent years , and i could happily say that finally this prize , which was completely conservative in the post-soviet period , was incomprehensible and turned into a prize that honors the best artists of the countries and let's say those people and projects who received almost all of what i know this year, at least in the field where i can act competently show do those people receive these awards , that is, i am asking, please. it's so simple for people perhaps who have not followed the award for years, you note the transformation of the award in a positive direction, as well as of all cultural institutions after 2014, after the victory of the maidan and after the start of the war with russia, which and our cultural justice were the first to emerge, new cultural institutions were created by the state secondly, those old cultural institutions that were very far from us got closer to the actual artists of people who create cultural ukrainian and this was a positive process, and now we are

well, we continue our broadcasts and now we will talk about culture and about the national the shevchenko prizeded for some reason that it was not in time to be in march, they decided to move it to announce the laureates in may, on the day of shevchenko's reburial, but then something went wrong and the laureates were announced in separate nominations volodymyr vyatrovych, historian, publicist, public figure, and people's deputy of ukraine appears on our air, mr. volodymyr. good day to you. good day. it was somehow so unexpected with the shevchenko prize that it was like focus in the circus . it was quite unpleasant, not just unexpected, because it looked like an attempt to break yet another institution, a procedure, and thus another important tradition, because the shevchenko prize is just that example of the regeneration of a rather old tradition, the positive regeneration of a rather old tradition was selected according to some new approaches, this is the shevchenko committee and it seems to me that in recent years it has really begun to perform, well, a much deeper function of uniting among

and they reduce trust in society before the shevchenko prize, i would like to believe that it very high until today, but some believe that even before that , every year we rejected accusations that we were bought , that we are not competent, that we do not have the right to express ourselves on the topic of culture and art, etc. well, in our atmosphere of aggressive mistrust of the art shop and society as a whole, unfortunately, it turned out that this is my proposal, which the president immediately picked up at the meeting on march 9 , let's go. society did not accept it, and in fact i turned out to be a provocateur, the instigator of these quarrels, quarrels to which we are accustomed, and the only way. well, somehow, if we do not stop it, it allows to somehow level the consequences, i had to resign in order to at least calm the public temperament, mr. temperament is a very difficult matter and it is not your fault, we just understand the current state our society is experiencing and how sharply the government reacts to everything, ralko, also an artist whom i respect left t

so, the scandal with the shevchenko prize, we are talking about him for several days in a row, firstlychairman of the taras shevchenko award committee resigned, journalist yuriy makarov, later reports came that other members of the committee also resigned, so how do you see this scandal from your point of view? well , actually, the situation is... er so that er on march 9, apparently many ukrainians know who is watching the award and the award is being watched hmm, probably not all of ukrainian society er was not announced taras shevchenko award 9 accordingly, the laureates were not announced on march 9. at the end of the day on march 9, we mean the committee of the shevchenko national award, we learned that in manual mode , spontaneously on the day of the planned announcement , some special awards were to be presented to those artists who made a special contribution to the victory , it all happened on the last day it all happened without proper discussion, it is very important, it is not transparent behind the closed doors of tito's office of the president or the ministry of culture a

you should remember that the laureates of the shevchenko prize receive benefits from your taxes from axes and not by themselves, and this requires a corresponding change in the relevant budgeting legislation, replacing some decisions with others, because the budgeting of this prize for 2023 has already been established in the current budget, which means that certain articles will obviously need to be changed with the participation of the parliament. but i consider it absolutely true that either this year or next. people who are not only the authors of works of art today, but also protect our country at the front and create. perhaps at this time, by the way , such people were also among the nominees of the shevchenko prize in 2023. in general, i think that a very important point here is that we are not honoring specific people with this prize people, only the laureates of this award, we honor taras hryhorovych shevchenko with this award, this is the main meaning of this national award, that we remind our compatriots of the great importance taras had for our lives, for ukrainian culture

of yesterday evening yury makarov voluntarily resigned from the position of chairman of the shevchenko prizehe wrote quoted his explanation that well, he is tired of explaining his position, so it is better for him to leave . how do you feel about this? it seems to me that the result is the culmination of this scandal surrounding the awarding of this year's shevchenkivska prizes, your comment, well, first of all, this is bad news, an unfortunate story . i worked with mr. yuriy back in the 20th year with the committee, and when i was still working in the ministry , a reform was launched in the essence of the shevchenko prize, a new style, rebranding took place and also how it began in the 19-20s i told him that the award is becoming more modern and that it looks forward and not back, and when i see the laureates , including this year's laureates, i am convinced of this . i saw certain political risks that exist in certain decisions. it seems to me that someone simply played a committee with its participants. and when it came out, of course, what is wrong? well, what about these people , the a

if you want it to be the shevchenko prize, then the decree on the shevchenko prize in 2023 may be onend until it is known, everyone will be known . that the shevchenko committee elect one or two more candidates there. but you have an opportunity in the nomination for a contribution to the victory. do you have enough time, there are two months and 10 days left, and for this you need to make changes to the regulations, or the regulations clearly state the nominations, you need to introduce a new one, announce the reception applications, give time to submit applications, then all these applications will be considered and then the committee will have time to choose and whether it is ready, but this actually turns out to be the second central issue, because the majority of the committee members are two people from at the beginning of the war, in fact, they officially constituted themselves one statement. i have a second one, only verbally, so out of 16 people, it turns out that as many as i can now count, well, at least 12 of the members of the committee are categorically against this init

so, the shevchenko committee did not announce the laureates of the shevchenko prize, which , so to speakould have happened for the tradition of the birthday of the poet and artist, and accordingly there was a delay. the decree listing all the laureates, so now we will include oksana yurynets, people's deputy of ukraine of the eighth convocation, as the head of the ukrainian delegation in the parliamentary of the nato assembly to the professor of the national university of lviv polytechnic oksano slava ukraine we congratulate you, so to speak, the delay with the announcement of the laureates of the shevchenko prize yes accordingly, we understand that the war is going on, but at the same time , the importance of shevchenko is not subject to any doubt, in particular, she won the shevchenko prize for dozens of years extremely of course, and i will say frankly that there are certainly different fronts , including the cultural front, which is more important today than ever, and of course we are shevchenko we quote, we reread, and in our lifetime, living there, we probably cannot study it to th

i think that the president will sign it, or the shevchenko prize , it has already been determined ander and it is already too late , the last moments are left to sign this class, but by the way, i note that stefanchuk has nothing to do with this, because no signs indicates that he only signed legislative documents that were voted on in the verkhovna rada, so fortunately or unfortunately , he does not influence it. and regarding mr. stepanchuk , well, look, there is one. when they eat one bill , i can give more air, for example , 56-55 for which there was also a petition regarding the imposition of the brother and other things, if you listen to mr. volodymyr reva, then stepanchuk now needs to sign this bill, which supporter is he not ? oleksandrovych will not sign it. i think that they are preparing a thorough position, or in the near future there will be this enterprise . moreover, he noted that it is a very wrong opinion in ukraine today to think that there are supporters of president zelenskyi or there are not his supporters after february 24, such a thing should not happen at all s

i think that the full stop will be put when this year the shevchenko prize was will be actually awardedn those who were really chosen by the commission will receive it. if this happens, we will put a full stop. we thank yuri makarov . unfortunately, it turned out the way it did. he decided to write a statement, but it is obvious that he bears the responsibility for everything that is happening. to the president, the office of the president, because the timely presentation of the award depends on them. and i am absolutely convinced that on the 9th, the birthday of veliky kobzar, it was right to present this award, as it was done for the first time in 61 years it didn't happen on kobzar's birthday, that's normal well, i think both politically and culturally and from all points of view well, in principle, it's wrong awards well, you don't have to go there, you already go everywhere , at least don't go there, let the experts do it now in the sports review yevhen will gradually tell about the most important sports events let's watch and listen to kyiv dynamo is returning to the championship

i will also tell you about the winners of the shevchenko prize this year. russia 's full-scale war against ukraine has been going on for 382 days. news on espresso in the studio anzhelika sizonenko. 29 times the russians shelled the kherson region last day . oleksandr prokutin, the occupiers fired 156 shells from heavy artillery and hail three times into the region. kherson succumbed to enemy attacks, the invaders hit residential buildings blocks of private and multi-apartment buildings and the territory of a communal enterprise were playing with ammunition remnants in the zaporizhzhia region. children were injured by the explosion of parts of a grenade. the boys found an unknown object on the street and brought it home. during the game , it detonated. they reported to the regional police . children aged 10 and 3 received injuries of varying severity they were taken to the hospital after medical examination, the baby was released, and the older one was hospitalized , previously the law enforcement officers established that the handle of an anti-tank weapon

this year, but it will depend on the course of hostilities in the laureates of the 2023 taras shevchenko prizealistic articles and speeches in recent years have become known to ukraine. journalist vitaly portnikova was chosen. the book of poetry, the order of the silent, brought the writer kateryna kalitka a victory in the literature in the musical arts category. the laureates were the performers of the khoreya kozatska band. mykhailo nazarenko won in the literature and literature nomination. art history for the book, in addition to kobzar in the cinema , the award was given to the director iryna cilyk for the documentary the earth is blue like an orange this year supplemented with a nomination for the contribution to the victory, the taras shevchenko national award was not awarded for the first time in many years on march 9 , taras shevchenko's birthday , so far all the news on this so far, the next issue is not to be missed at 8. my colleagues lesya vakalyuk and andriy saichuk will soon continue the news broadcast espresso be with us , will the ukrainian team of miners be able to continue th

moreover, our colleague vitaly portnikov became a laureate of the shevchenko prize, and by the way, theretacks on makarov. well, in any case, we will talk about it now we will add to the conversation oleksandr doroshenko, a deputy of the kharkiv regional council, an officer of the national guard , oleksandr. greetings. good morning. as far as i understand, you are currently in the kharkiv direction, so far. yes , but we will send dily under the cremin for several weeks. and i would like to ask about the situation there , in principle, a little make a summary of how the situation there was during the last days, well, and the prospects of waiting for events in your direction, please, the day is quite tense, the situation but i talked with comrades from our battalion, our units, which are defending at certain lines, give a decent repulse, the enemy is working as usual, mortars are using tanks, but there are no advances from the enemy, the weather is not favorable now, we can see that the thaw has already begun. therefore, the main thing now is to hold on to what is there until it dries up an

to be honest, i just wonder why this president is still people who climb into the shevchenko prize .d in many other things. why don't they still advise the doctors at the council how to manage it? i think that these people need to get in there and cancel surgeons for surgery. well, because they know it, it shouldn't be wrong with us soldiers write by the way, which they support there, uh, they support the right in the army to speak sometimes adequate things , not to criticize, look, they correctly write about the fact that ukraine is not russia and we will never have a tsar . well, when certain people try to get into everywhere , even into the cultural community in the state cinema , we are a huge scandal which is just already just everyone is laughing at this, they still can't name the head of the long-term center, well, it just looks funny. well, i think that the president should also pay more attention here . maybe he will have more time, he is will pay attention well, so that there were not certain hands and certain fingers raking, the president did not get into everything everyw

the shevchenko prize is the highest creative honor for a significant contribution to the developmenture and art in ukraine . the prizes have been awarded since 1961 until taras shevchenko's birthday . visual art, the laureates were not announced , who won, why was the presentation of the awards postponed and what other scandals arose during the announcement of the results natalya zhukovska will tell everything is normal, all are alive, wounded documents iryna tsylyk's final film already has 30 national and international awards, which makes the film the most titled ukrainian film of recent times, and now the film about the trochymchuk family, which lives in the front-line zone in donbas, won the country's main award shevchenko's ukraine, you are my prayer, i am the age-old depravity thundering over the world fierce battle for your life, your rights in the category of musical art among five candidates , the band choreya kozatska was the winner for the audio album of songs of the ukrainian revolution , band leader and military serviceman 241 individual taras kompanichenko worked on this

ukrainian nation, it must be eaten by people who are in this task , people who cannot win the shevchenko prizegovernment is suffering , it is suffering, it is rotating, giving hands , you and i are now in the same story, of course lina kostenko well, for example, i saw today on the website, uh, novoe vremya won't come out. well, now it's called uh, a link to what 10 songs were written in modern ukrainian by lina kostenko's poems. poetry, nevertheless, i am a little oriented that lina kostenko writes incomparable poems, it is not so easy to put them to modern music that corresponds to certain frequencies, beats, tempos in order to be in the rotation of the games. howls and to the russian occupiers, it’s a wonderful call, but isn’t it poetry? is it music? it’s put to music, then there’s an effort. are you afraid to say it? if it’s a word to say, because it’s a verb of russian motherly origin, you understand that it has nothing to do with ukraine at all. i listened to this song . and i am not sure that it is addressed to the russian occupiers , yes , it is possible that it is addressed to politic

vitaly portnikov received the most prestigious award in the field of ukrainian culture, the shevchenko prize, portnikova was awarded in the category of journalism and journalism for journalistic articles and speeches in recent years, our congratulations , that's all for today, don't forget to subscribe to our youtube channel ispreso tv spotlight ukraine thank you for being with us and see you soon in exactly one week . congratulations, we have another successful story of finding a missing child. 14-year-old daryna mykytina, who disappeared in the kherson region, was found on march 3. the girl left her home in the village of chornobayivka and did not she returned, what happened to daryna was unknown. but it is good that the girls did not delay and immediately reported dasha's disappearance. i would like to note that the first hours after the disappearance are the most effective in searching in such a situation , every minute can be decisive. it is a myth that you have to wait three days to have the right to report the disappearance of a child to the police must be contacted immediately, and i

questions, on the contrary, by force, for example, with such things when they climb into the shevchenko prizet to say and with what i agree with writing rachmaninoff 100%. yes, there is a management system that is adopted in nato in democratic countries and about democratic civilian control where, in principle, civilian people and the civilian government and the majority control yes, this is the correct system, but what does rahmanin write about, and what does rahmanin say, and what, for example, do i absolutely support , there is no need to break the system today during the war , because you rightly said that the level of trust in the armed forces is sufficient and that consecrated level of mistrust towards civil institutions, governmental institutions, political institutions, it can lead him to such distortions and such conversations, and therefore it is absolutely correct to postpone this, precisely what can be done after the war you can calmly have a normal discussion about what the system of military administration should be, thank you, thank you, viktor chumak, former military prosecuto

earlier, and of course they hyperbolize the speech of the respected me and the laureate of the shevchenko prizepanichenko, and the cossack choirs, who gave a christmas concert, a concert of carols, and a concert of god -inspired songs in the refectory church of anthony theodosius, and by the way, this is a completely orthodox story about the fact that spiritual concerts are possible to give in temples, it was not in the temple, but in the refectory, uh, and even more so when singing carols in the temple, but the moscow propagandists twisted everything, they said that there was almost a rock concert of satanic songs, this is all you need to know about the propaganda of the moscow patriarchate, mr. andriy you told here about stories with journalists or with musicians and all these curses or with the fact that representatives of the moscow patriarchate say that they say that crosses are blackened and they forget that there is physics and chemistry, i also remember that i once wrote an interview with this by pasha himself, mercedes was on the eve of passover, as we all know great lent, but in that

award in 1975, when i was in a concentration camp and among the things for which i received the shevchenko prize long ago, two years ago, the main point was the book the trouble with the mind, different periods, different assessments, that is , there was already readiness, there was the first term. the idea that something should be done that could organize people around themselves into conscious ukrainianism. and then it was already a time of lull, repressions began, brezhnev came to power, khrushchev's thaw ended. and then the thought came to mind that it was necessary to make a magazine just then in russia. to come out chronicling the events, these were such short messages about the repressions, i decided to do something else. and it was very good that i found the support of my friends then, and all this was done in a terribly conspiratorial way. helped in the publication of this magazine, it was really walking for about half or three years , walking on the edge of razors there or sabers or something like that and what is more interesting when i was arrested in january of 1972, then i was arre

happens, in principle, you never have 100% power well, but i see that the situation with the shevchenko prize is very much in this sense, the president has not yet signed the decree as a sign of protest, all the members of the committee, which was actually chosen from those members of the committee, resigned, well, the situation is kind of amazing. it does not fit actually no time no no in principle some kind of democracy thank you, well, let's continue our journey and journey through the regions viktoria moskalenko is with us, a deputy of the mykolaiv regional council good day mrs. viktoria please tell me what is happening in mykolaiv oblast this night last night i am asking for a good day good morning it means more- less, it was calm in all areas , except ochakiv and kotsyrubsk communities, as usual they are shelled, unfortunately, unfortunately , today there is a lot of damage in the city of ochakov communities, that is, these damages not always about them as they say, you know, they will say on the air, but what people constantly inform me are those who are there for like-minded friends t

broadcast yesterday evening , the shevchenko committee announced this year's winners of the shevchenko prizei remind you that awards and honors will be presented to them on may 22 in the day of taras shevchenko's reburial and by that time, according to the idea , one more nomination should appear for the contribution to the victory all this is about shevchenko, we will talk about this nomination now with mr. yury makarov, the head of the shevchenko committee, and my journalist colleague, mr. yury. i wish you good health. so, to begin with, i wanted to ask why there are only five winners , although there are seven nominations and you could celebrate in seven nominations but five were announced, you two were not announced or were not appointed , two were not appointed because this year the competition was very weak in individual nominations. at the time of filing, it is somewhere in march, april , 22nd, and the brightest

would like to hear your opinion on the story that has been circulating since last week, the shevchenko prizened in its entirety as a sign of protest against the influence, they directly say this to the president's office and there is still no presidential decree on awarding the designated laureates, what is your position that the parliament can make it so difficult thank you natalia , first of all, i want to say that in recent years, when the award turns into a political sphere, it does not give any results, it should finally be an award that does not have any the relation of e-e and it cannot be managed and determined neither from the office of the president nor from the parliament and those people who in the future will want to join the committee or they will work differently or simply and it will be determined including parallel e-e such public an evaluation that will add points to the evaluation of experts, otherwise we will have such an unpleasant sediment , unfortunately, mrs. natalya, and i want to say that if there is a chance for education to be resuscitated now, because in reality

calendar was written in the 17th year, her prison song, which was nominated last year for the shevchenko prize, these are amazing books, and actually you have to study them to see them , you have already made your contribution to history back when in the 17th year they wrote your shooting calendar, thank you for the conversation, so on and on from creativity, so to speak, to the front line to our everyday life, and they are always like this , since the beginning of the year, the police in chernivtsi and all they drove to get drunk during the curfew, our correspondent colleague ivan syretskyi continues to patrol with law enforcement officers this night and will now tell us live whether they stopped violators during this hour and whether there were drunken drivers among them . i congratulate my colleagues during the previous hour . at first, together with the patrol policemen, we just drove streets of chernivtsi and did not meet any pedestrians, or even any cars, but in the end, somewhere about 30 minutes ago, the patrolmen discovered a car that was moving towards them, then the policemen stoppe

days were not announced, and actually about the scandal of the shevchenko award about the resignation of the committee chairman national prize of ukraine named after taras shevchenko and also about the fact that the artist vlada left the committee, let's talk about it and talk to us, mrs. vlada, on the phone we welcome you to our airwaves good day good day you resigned from the committee members earlier, that is, not the day before, as yuriy makarov did. what was your argument and how do you evaluate what happened now when the chairman of the committee announced yuriy makarov, a respected ukrainian journalist , documentarian, translator, announced that he was withdrawing his powers, i am asking for his resignation. there was no conflict and no scandal here, because committee members are usually elected for three years, but after the end of the three-year term of our committee a, the chairman addressed us conveyed to us the request of the office of the president to extend the term of office for another year due to the martial law and due to, well, certain very understandable difficulties with electing a new member of the comm

decree so give it to us what managers the secretary of the organizing committee of the shevchenko committee manages the prize manage it. they are performers, so they had to depart from tradition two years ago . in an interview with the public in february, mr. yury makarov himself explained and commented on the decision of the shevchenkiv committee to award mr. oleksiy as a laureate. and this is the president's business and i am just less concerned about the options here , only two options have been expressed by the committee and the president can either sign the decree or not sign it . regards these options, maybe he doesn’t like one of those laureates, maybe he doesn’t even actively like it, but it’s an unnecessary scandal in an empty place. well, why is it? why turn a large part of the ukrainian cultural community against yourself, so i think that the president is not going anywhere, he will sign when probably already in may, but will sign thank you oleksiy sir, a philosopher, translator, public figure was in touch with us, analyzed the situation of the shevchenkovskaya prize and other topics , in particul

meanings the shevchenko committee was told that today the winners have already been determined and the country is waiting for the decree and the announcement of the winners of the 23rd prizes are in the form of ill-conceived and destructive, it undermines the transparency and balance of the procedures, points of the position and weight of the award as a stable authoritative institution with a clear algorithm of work, the appearance of new nominees or other unexpected changes in the position of awarding the already determined winners, from your trust in the award as the highest honor of literature and art in an independent to ukraine, we would like to especially emphasize that this year's laureates of the definition as a result of the vote on february 15 , 2023 were elected in a legitimate way without violating the letter and spirit of the award with in compliance with the current provision, their works and professional merits meet the high standards of the main state prize in the field of culture, in our opinion, this choice should be recorded by a corresponding presidential decree, which, according to the provision , is made public in the established order, as a rule, by
