i will ask you about the slovo house, because it is actually a house, which is in kharkiv, this is a that the soviet government built to house writers, playwrights, poets, supposedly the soviet government had such a good goal, but in fact this house, it becomes a house from where many of them went to be shot , or in some prisons, or somewhere in siberia, or disappeared somewhere... missing and it is not known what happened to them, or they cooperated with the soviets, because they were simply crushed. currently, a screening of taras tomenko's film, the house is a word is an endless novel, and i was yesterday, is showing in cinemas was at the screening, where there was actually a creative meeting with the director, he started working on making this story into a screen version even during yanukovych's time. well, now we see such close attention to the shot revival, we see that there are many different projects, there are that young people are doing some rap projects, there are some operettas, plays, everything, everything, everything, lviv applauded yesterday at this screening after cl
