Will say things very consistently. Which are important for us, she, in fact, from the beginning of the fullscale invasion says that this is a war for culture, and the war is not fought for territories, not for resources, it is fought around the topic of culture and for culture, this is our cultural war, it is very quickly begins to analyze on the pages of the guardian, the postcolonial contexts of this war, and our antiimperial resistance, and i she is quite so radical , she says, for example, that, dont try it with the ukrainians, she writes in one of the texts to talk about the mysterious russian soul, because they immediately they will say the word shit, ugh, uh, and, and she does it fearlessly, thats exactly what i asked her in fearlessness, and she said no, all my, im my support for ukraine and the theses that i express, in particular, which concern. Russian culture and ukrainian relations russian culture never provoked aggression, and that the only aggression she experienced, but it was actually this almost bullying campaign, when she tweeted that she started learning ukrainian, and then all of a sudden there was a very, very many comments and very aggressive ones about the fact that she supports fascism there. And around this in a certain type of speech, yes, functioning, structuring of speech, it all revolved, and while she was saying this, she was so very ironic in conversation, she was joking about herself, but there was a lot of selfirony, but suddenly she stopped being selfironic, i understood that she had experienced a certain pain, and she suddenly started talking about it, that it was extraordinary. Unpleasant, but, but i immediately thought that i have nothing to complain about, because my friends in ukraine are going through worse things, but what does this mean, why i mention it now, it means that part of the Information Space that functions in a western for westerners, and in western europe, in Great Britain or in america, it is saturated with. Something with a very clear agenda , that is, the algorithms are somehow adjusted, or there is some kind of bot farm there, which is managed when, a visible journalist talks about the fact that she started learning the ukrainian language, and this is not just talking, that this is a colonial war, this is to become one of the experts, this is to demonstrate a very adult attitude, yes to this cult. It is to accept it, to make it a culture to a large extent, so there are people who are ready to attack this decision, and this says that this space, it is very complex, and probably we we still do not fully understand it, we do not fully understand how antiukrainian narratives and prorussian narratives are created, function and spread in the Information Space of countries in Great Britain or in the United States or in asia or in latin america, in the whole world that we have many countries, if we concentrate in communication there on European Countries , okay, there on the United States, but if we talk about the conventional global south there, we did not even talk about asia, some other things, but here sprat writers that are currently in book form. They are now discussing on the sidelines their trains to the countries of the global south, that is, this is the kind of work on which, in particular, our colleagues in the book form are also working on ours, and what are they, to put it so generally, in . What did they see there, what in general, these are trips that are just being prepared, so we will wait, iryna tsylyk returned from mexico, and she generously shared her observations, but i am to the point that we do not understand how this information circulates, i have a feeling that we are not up to we finally understand, and sometimes we do not understand at all, how this or that our thesis, which we publicly voice for the western community, is ours. In the western media, or in the american, or british, or even not in the western media, in general in the world media, not ukrainian, in the outside world, we do not know what it causes, what structures begin to work, how it begins to be interpreted, where it is talked about , where they write about it, what kind of context it acquires and grows, and what a story appeared, where a discussion took place with, where we did not understand with applebom, or. Where we did not understand with Slavenka Drakulich , this is a signal, i think, very dangerous, it means, it seems to me , that we have to understand what is happening there in this communication field, and while we dont understand, we dont have the tools with which we can fearlessly go into this field, because saying what you think and what is really is a good thing, but if we get into some situation. In which our e words change, our words are overinterpreted, or from our sentences, for example, when quoting in some western meddia disappears the part no, no, or some other things happen, or some very specific context is added , so uh, by staying honest and saying the very necessary things, we can probably do something an outcome that we cant estimate, yes or an outcome that we wont like it, because every time our speakers try to convey this thesis to others on this panel, the same thing happened , well, actually, about the fact that russia cannot be changed, it must be done there, well, no one understands what needs to be done , but these people, they are in many moments not great, the speakers here are trying to explain it, some from a political point of view, some from a philosophical point of view, and this topic is super not accepted even by People Like Us who sympathize with us, because it seems so barbaric that you can the whole nation like this cross it, its dangerous, read it, that the rhetoric that some nation is incurable, its dangerous, and obviously, again, im not ready to analyze this discussion, because you have to find time to listen to it, and this is also a good point, which we can say, you did not miss all these discussions, you its over, friends, the moment you can go back to them, theyre all recorded , theyll be, theyll be accessed and youll be able to listen to it all again, because this phrase, it confuses even me, and if i try to imagine that its not me i hear him, and some conditional researcher of totalitarian crimes, who writes books about it, we wont, even, well, conditional, yes, if i listen to some such nonsense, then this thesis is even more dangerous, well, at least it sounds parisian, and therefore, i would for me, the question of what is happening with russian culture, it is open, and for me too, i am very confused that it could be allowed, what happened in, lets say, there in the 90third year, that it happened so easily, and that after , lets say, parliamentarism disappeared. In the history of russian politics, no one has started something that could bring this parliamentarism back, or that demonstrated the understanding of the community that they lost something, something irreparably important, or when uh, uh, the chechen military campaign began, and i too, there were a lot more reactions, but. however, they didnt turned into something that would give signals to the community, and i am more confused that russian poetry, because when i think about us, when i think about what gave the opportunity for this dialog within ukrainian society, for example, i think about poetry that was not political in the 90s. It was very, it was a love lyric very often, or just poetry that spoke to what we lived in, to some existential questions and contexts, but. What was happening with language was happening, this rift was happening, where you saw , as real life comes through many things, lets say through the dungeons, the ones that were there in the 90s on television, and this rift in language, there, which only fiction and poetry can do in the first place, it gave that territory of freedom, from which they started. Dialogues are no longer noticeable, it seems to me that a lot of things begin in poetry, in particular, in fiction in general, and for me the question is why all these quite successful russian writers with large circulations of books, with large audiences who came to listen their poetry, they could not untie this territory of language to the extent that some social processes took place there, and it is obvious that this is due to the fact that this is a culture in which violence has a special status, and, obviously, this is a problem, of russian culture, how to work with it, and we dont see, i dont see , at least, that work with it takes place, or it would be somehow effective, i have said this many times that for me the territory is russian, for me the military, which there, private soldiers walk the border with ukraine and enter ukrainian cities and are attacked by russian soldiers crimes are a little, they scare me a little less than russian intellectuals, who could not create such a space in culture for these people, where they could protect themselves from the need to become war criminals. I dont know if that phrase was clear. I would, i too, by the way, it confuses me, because when i see people, the russian military, they are just there, it is clear what they are doing, yes, especially those who are under the influence of propaganda, and when you come into contact with people, who can be interpreted there as intellectuals, with educated people who speak different languages, who know literature, philosophy and so on, and you understand that they dont understand, they dont really understand what they re talking about, its getting worse here. They dont understand that these russian soldiers who enter ukraine are people they didnt Pay Attention to, they are like those who work with the word, with culture, with education, with the media, they who are responsible for this entire space , they were supposed to make this person drunk with all this, so that he knew for sure that this could not be done, and he could to resist, and what is happening now is a whole class of people who would not watch out for those, for whom they were supposed to, who they should watch out for by virtue of their profession, but at the same time, little one, look, eh, we more than once they said that our influence will lose for the time being, yes, well, if we talk about culture, about some intellectual things, after all, they are now stronger than us, well , if only because they have been engaged in this consistently for a long time, they have built names, while we were sitting here, there we were stewing and did not Pay Attention to. Because it is something out of time, this is some kind of bullshit, yes, we had a bow at the end, at the end of the news releases, if we are talking about journalism, you take off the bow, thats oksana zabuchka, thats our bow, and here they were doing it, so accordingly in of them and the same masha heson already has a name , loud enough, and she has an influence, and we are just starting to do it, just starting to catch up, how do you see this process, if . Take the last one and a half years, yes, when we got loose, forgive me, there is progress, we are gaining weight for internationals, i think that we scattered in the 14th year, after all, the little ones started, you think, yes, and i think that, and even more, that is, in the 14th year we scattered at the level of institutions, we began to build them, in the 22nd year, these were still young institutions, which for a part of those almost ten to almost eight years at that time were just dealing with their framework, but , just to understand the structure of these institutions, there could not be big actions yet, because these are newborn institutions that had to deal with this soft power, external communications, representation of ukrainian culture, development of the discourse, these are all very young platforms and the people who are engaged in it have only just begun to engage in this, but we must not forget everything that happened from 1991, and it was based on personal charismas, and ours was, because recently, we have one of these institutions, the ukrainian institute. They are opening a Representative Office in paris right now, and i, the person who deals with this, in particular, was told that in fact, we were almost, almost invisible in france, all these years of our independence, well lets say, slavyanka drakulich, who comes to ukraine, is slavyanka drakulich, whom oksana zabushka met in the 90s at one of the festivals, and the fact that slavyanka did not lose contact with her when it became. It is possible to betray her book and for her to come to ukraine, she continued this dialogue, it obviously depends on how they met, or claudia date, a german translator who made incredible efforts for the presence of ukrainian culture, in general, for many, many years in a row, without having any institutional support, but after february 24 in the 22nd year, these efforts were simply incredible, just in order to. Translate, make this tape in ukrainian in the german news, for those who came, it was the translator of yuriy andruhovych, everyone one way or another, obviously these are some private things, but everything was taught as it was taught and led us to where it led us, we are very young in this sense, we are very young in how we present ourselves, how we talk about ourselves, and we dont understand, i think we dont understand , how to arrange it. And from the fact that we do not understand how this one is arranged Information Space, and in the end we dont have many resources either, we lose because we dont do this postproduction, and as there is production, then post production, and then distribution, and this is about cinema, when speaking, so, in my opinion, we are a little better with simple productions, distribution is the same, we still have problems, and here we are talking about an idea, an idea that seems to us to be saving and so working, on some international platforms, and we can express it, but formalize it further so that it becomes, i will now say this word, but probably, maybe a better word is viral and visible, which everyone would like to support , we dont have enough resources, already resources for it to get into everyones, everyones, everyones. Head, and every tv, every morning newspaper, especially since we dont have enough, and im not sure, but i have a feeling that those who work for russian culture have more of this resource and skill, ah, yes, that thought occurred to me too , but i just see that we are working, we are making progress, it seems to me that we are lacking a lot, we talked to you before the broadcast, discussions, initially professional, closed. Then a wider one, and we have literally five minutes left, and i want to talk with you specifically about the perception of literature in our country, because it has intensified and those literary shits that constantly happen here, for me, on the one hand, they they are confusing, on the other hand they are pleasing, because so many people who were never interested in ukrainian literature at all, even started to read, went to read kurkov, after that the recent scandals, you said in the newsletter that if you have never been to book arsenal, it looks like. Yes, there is a sea of people, events, there is a sea of people, but it was not always like that, that is, it is actually such a discovery, recent, such large audiences at poetry events, at literary readings, at discussions, i really see, if not for the first time, such attention, such a desire to hear, such a desire, to discuss, to understand, i have not seen before, and it seems to me that execution is the reverse side of this, and if everyone came and listened, read some writer, then even at the moment when more complicated things are happening , such some ambiguous, theses are expressed, the audience of this ambiguity is also not the same as it was 10, 10 years ago, when it was you, me and some other friend of ours and her friend, and now all these people who come to listen poetry readings, or literature discussion or cultural discussion, they then follow all the rest of the context, and our degree is a little not so simple, and we are still a little too ourselves, not us globally, not us with you, and , but the community is reacting a little too harshly, mentioned it, korkov korkov and despite the fact that i am not, i do not understand his decision, but , it is about it, i will tell our viewers what it is about, i will remind you, maybe you have heard, pandriy agreed to a discussion with masha heson, masha heson is a journalist. God, im with these nonbinary people in ukrainian, they should be called that, binary people should be called they, but its not clear how then the journalists, in a word, these are the journalists who, having arranged a whole riot in may, around, well, refusals , around the decision of our ukrainian writers who came to new york for the festival, not denied. To participate in this festival, because various russian representatives took part there , and the organizers had to apologize to our ukrainians and ask the russians and masha geson, who moderated, should have moderated this discussion of theirs, to leave, they were very indignant and started everywhere on authoritative platforms to talk about cruel ukrainian authors who slander their russian colleagues, masha hesens reaction was such that we. Got a meme ukrainian cruel writers, cruel ukrainian writers, and this meme, he is not out of wit, mashyk hesen was born, he was born out of, out of the twisting of a comment that anton chipai made, who said that he as a military man signs a document that he will not have contact with russian citizens, and that phrase was twisted , changed, transformed. On the unreliable, with which, they say, our writers are forbidden, almost under the threat of not knowing what, and this kind of game with information, it seems to me the most terrible, and we do not understand how it happens, we, now, about what am i saying we cant control it, and we cant, the situation, what actually worked, we cant show it in the media, we still dont have the tools, the channels, enough allies, and precisely because what we did masha hesen led to another fake regarding a very transparent and very understandable situation in which ukrainian writers were involved, which is why she seemed to me, they seem to me, not the interlocutors with whom you can be on the same panel, but despite the fact that i am not i understand andriy kurkovs position, i think he doesnt did nothing that would cause you such a wave of hate, there is that, there is the rhetoric that andriy cheh chose, and it was exactly what it could have been, and there is the rhetoric of the shit that appeared after, which already spoke about that , that we will not be able to understand each other, or in the end understand why andrii made such a decision, because there is this wave between us, who have questions, and andrii, who can give an answer, and what should we do so that the waves do not interfere lets get along because it obviously has the issue of communication with colleagues from russia, with russians to find some form, but as long as this senseless aggressive wave will build up between the one who wants to ask and the one who is ready to answer, well, nothing will happen, and here is an interesting question, where does this wave come from, and i, as a person , which survived the russian wave, uh, i think we need to think. Isnt there also some structure or configuration of the Information Space that we dont notice, and where we are also its masters, which supports all this, olenka, thank you, we were talking about the lviv book forum, i will also say about these literary matters, on the one hand, yes, they popularize literature, popularize , popularize reading, of course, but on the other hand, lets reduce the degree, and to reduce it, quiet down, i suggest just before you are going to write to yourself on facebook, instagram or twitter about some topic, please study this topic very well, and maybe you dont know it a little well, look at all the speakers who speak on this topic, people who are engaged in literature professionally , maybe your point of view is true too emotional and you will change it when you investigate this situation, and going to book forms is crazy. It is worth it, but do you think that we have our writers, and there were some of them, and they have already increased their popularity so much that sometimes you have to come even 20 minutes before the event, or take a seat, because i was recently in kyiv at a performance by oksana zabushko , i was a little late and had to sit on the stairs, because ms. Oksana, mr. Andruhovych, mr. Jadan are already rock stars, they are all very cool, so go to book events, they are extremely interesting now.
