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 committee and practically, as far as i know, practically everyone agreed and i left the committee simply because of the end of the term of office because i had fully fulfilled my duty is literally two or three days after the last meeting after the final vote for this year's laureates, and therefore i am not, this

well, even today yuriy makarov announced his resignation stated that since it was his idea to introduceination for a contribution to the victory and postpone the announcement of the winners to may 22 , such proposals were not supported by the rest of the members of the shevchenko committee, and because of this, he submits to resign, the proposal arose almost impromptu, but during a meeting of cultural figures with the president of ukraine on march 9 of this year, she met his support . tribute to those artists who raise ukrainian culture to a fundamentally new level, involve in it our heroic soldiers and residents of liberated territories , promote the country in the world came across aggressive misunderstanding, an active part of society is convinced that i am carrying out someone's order, working out, bending over and so on . for me, this is a new experience that i would not like to go through again. the philosopher and professor of the shevchenko national university joins the air , who is a watchman at the mohyla academy. my greetings. good evening. glory to ukraine. glory to the hero

know whose initiative it was for sure and we learned about this on the evening of march 9 from yuriy makarov head of the committee of the national premises, not his initiative and not the initiative of the members of the committee. we are absolutely sure of this because the absolute majority of the members of the committee immediately spoke out against this initiative as against as against a harmful idea that actually destroys the institutional sustainability of the ostape prize. and now it is known that the list of this year's laureates has been announced by the shevchenkiv committee, but the presidential decree has either not been signed or has not been made public, it may have been signed, but it has not been made public. the decree has not been made public, it is possible that it has not been signed. and in general, this whole story raises a big question mark about the legitimacy of the award itself, and at least what about this year's laureates. what do you think will be the end of the story, what to do now with this situation? in fact , it is a very traumatic situation and for the awar

the main top-event in ukraine is that yuriy makarov resigned from the position of chairman of the tarasational award committee of ukraine. well, besides that , the artist vlada ralko left the committee earlier, what yuriy makarov wrote a well-known ukrainian journalist, publicist, documentarian, journalist . here he is, mr. yuriy, wrote the following on facebook, unfortunately, i wish to pay tribute to those artists who raise ukrainian culture to a fundamentally new level and attract to it our heroic soldiers and residents of the liberated territories are advancing the country in the world, encountered an aggressive misunderstanding, many respected representatives of the art community and caring citizens perceived this step as political speculation, an attempt by the authorities to appoint their nominees or reduce the weight of already determined laureates, my attempts to explain my vision, comment on the real course of events, and i didn't even want to make excuses, which i really don't like. an active part of society was convinced that i was doing it the honor of the order, i work out

the laureates were named only on march 11 after a wave of critical posts on social networks, so yuriy makarov wrote a statement from the post of chairman of the shevchenko committee , so to speak. of my fellow members of the committee on the national award who believes that he will lead to the devaluation of the highest state award and undermine the credibility of it , i think their position will find wide publicity by expressing with respect and gratitude to colleagues with whom we have fruitfully worked for the past four years, i am forced to note that i categorically disagree , however, since i unwittingly became the cause of conflicts that no one needed the authority of the chairman and member of the committee is actually about this and we will talk literally with yuriy makarov at 5:45 p.m. air slots will also raise this topic, so stay with espresso, because there is still a lot of interesting stuff. ilya neskodovskyi should join us now, the head of the analytical direction of the ants network, unfortunately, he is not there yet , we are trying to connect him. meanwhile, the air force exp

i think yuriy makarov, they decided to leave and make way for someone else . who knows better?e decision is correct, but it is very unfortunate because well, i definitely have no doubts either in the selection of laureates, in the work of the committee, or in the principles underlying the work of the committee. can i ask you such a moral question because it is refers to a specific story of course people are waiting for victory and now spring has come, some have more expectations than those who know less expectations are even more for those who know nothing about the war, they are sky-high in the dawn well , let's say studio quarter 95 there they unite women's and men's studio and they announce it very widely. of course, this is the main channel of the country and so on . well, one, i mean, it is positioned in such a way that they announce this humorous counteroffensive for the support of the people . the country is flowing with blood and receiving milestones when victory is still just words in reality and how everything will end is unknown when the country makes huge sacrifices

yuriy makarov is the head of this committee, and some incomprehensible things begin that i want you toxplain to me and to our viewers, it is possible for you to see and understand more clearly what is happening there, what is happening in the kitchen, please, well, look earlier, the committee itself always and according to the regulations , after determining the winners, it must make them public, in principle, not always them as a rule, this was done together with the decree of the president several times before the decree of the president, but always before the ninth date, now the ninth date has passed and there were no nominees and laureates, the nominees were known , the laureates were not known, now they are not known, i really want to thank everyone i also want to thank the members of the committee for each of them and yuriy makarov, who wrote a statement. they chose good candidates for one of them . we know about it. they write that his books were translated in russia. i don’t know, but in general, the list of candidates is mostly decent people, and vitaly portnikov is really amo

yury makarov , the head of the shevchenkov committee and to my fellow journalist , mr. yurii, 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 have celebrated in seven nominations, but you announced five , you did not announce two or did not appoint two appointed because this year the competition was very weak in some nominations. that is, according to the regulations, we are limited, we have to consider only those works that appeared six months before the time of submission, this is somewhere in march, april , 22nd, and the most striking phenomena, and well, in a huge number of appeared just closer to the summer, and this was actually my idea, since we saved the state the amount of two awards, then introduce an additional one or two . it was my idea. or maybe more nominations, as i envisioned for my contribution to the victory, well, i have very simple associations a contribution to the victory can be anywhere, you can give lectures there or arrange a reading literally right at the

now on the live air of the espresso tv channel, we are informing about the most important thing, yuriy makarovuld join us now, the recent chairman of the committee for the taras shevchenko national award of ukraine and he is already in touch with us, mr. yuriy, we are glad to see you on our air, we congratulate each other , sir yuri, thank you, on the one hand , we understand how difficult it was for you to withstand very different trends, so to speak , influences, on the other hand, thank you for the detailed explanation, in particular, about your public opinion so that you expressed in in writing, but i still wanted you to tell our viewers why you resigned from the position of the most important ukrainian national award , i have no doubt that it is the main award of the country, but if you do not specify the question, you will have to break the network of the channel because i will answer for an hour or one and a half ago, if possible, a small clarification regarding the question , a small clarification, that is, as far as we understand, your resignation was connected with the untimely annou

without publishing the relevant decree on the president's website, and the head of the committee, yuriy makarovthat the award ceremony was postponed because this year they added another nomination for contribution to the victory we are talking about the works that appeared after the start of the full-scale war in ukraine , we did not award the prize in two nominations, having saved money on these nominations so i jumped out . exceptional and achievements and exceptional self-sacrifice, the minister of culture and information policy of ukraine, oleksandr tkachenko, says that the committee, together with the ministry of culture and the president's office, will soon develop changes to the regulations on the award, welcomes the innovation because the cultural front is working , it would be worth thinking at least for a second about the huge number of works that were created by artists during the war. representatives of culture are fighting at the front and continue to create works of art , the winners will be announced on may 22, on the day of shevchenko's reburial, together with the highest artist
