Guests, our, my interlocutors, elmir ablyalimova, public activist, cultural expert, exgeneral director of the bakhchesarai state historical and cultural reserve, ms. Elmiro, i greet you, khrystyna beregovska, art critic, adviser on cultural diplomacy, head of the Lviv Regional Military Administration and art director kozytskyi charitable foundation, and rostyslav luzhets. Art critic, artist, coowner of komora publishing house. Actually, i would like, you know what to say, that ukraine, after february 24, 2022, although it happened to us as difficult, not easy, as a fullscale invasion, but we can say that these difficult conditions even cost us benefit, because they began to hear about ukraine, they began to hear about ukraine, and that it is actually Something Different from russia, but this loud voice is still not enough, and recently i was in poland, went to a friend, plus to see my colleagues, polish journalists, who often included me in their broadcasts to talk about events in ukraine, and now her daughter is studying in a polish school, and the teacher polka, who obviously wanted to do something nice, showed in the textbook and to her and other children, they say, look, kulichi and matryoshka are ukrainian, if you remember the ukrainian easter, what happens on the eve of easter, during easter and after, how many discussions take place in our country, whether kulichi or paska, and here we have such situation, as if very close to us. Poland, a neighboring country, but even there they dont fully understand what ukrainian really is, and why, when this fullscale invasion has already lasted a year and nine months, we still remain in the shadow of russian, i dont know, lets start , ms. Khrystyna, come on, you know, the very essence is the difference in the perception of ukraine in the world, as it was in april or may of 22 and as it is now, i can speak from a practical point of view, as a curator who organizes many different exhibitions of visual modern ukrainian art in International Venues in the countries of europe, britain, north and south america, then how we started to hold the first exhibition on june 5 in the gallery, in the german gallery, which for the first time in its 165 years of existence showed ukrainian art, they really did not distinguish between ukrainian and russian art, they confused, they, they did not understand what was happening with the kyiv school, they do not understand at all what the lviv school of art is, so now our last exhibition was held in boston, in an american gallery, which clearly, before they invited to show ukrainian art, they clearly understand. The difference between the kharkiv art school, odesa, lviv and kyiv, that is, here, well, there have been many changes on the front of cultural diplomacy, and that perception of ukraine, it is striking, written about and matryoshka dolls, well, i have not encountered the fact that they do not understand the difference in my environment, where we position our art, they clearly understand that the matryoshka has absolutely nothing to do with ukraine, and in my opinion, our visual art, or is it layers. Or are these the formations of the installation of painting, it is so competitive and recognizable, absolutely excellent in the world today without any russian contamination in all senses and contexts that, well, from my experience this confusion is not observed, the other is a minus when good muscovites come, and when they they come and say, i want to buy this, they try to. Speak ukrainian , but they dont succeed in any way, then they switch to english and i want, let me satisfy my karma and buy this, this art to support it, because i support ukraine, this is the situation we have, i have grandmothers and grandfathers there, they supported me there, they are also from such and such cossacks, this is important to me, and this is what we have we, even at this already sensible level, do not want to just talk. About this, the fact that there should be any negotiations with them in terms of ardillerism, then this is the problem, that is, you do not sell the paintings to them, no, we do not even communicate with them in the context of the gallery space, in germany, in four galleries there were the situation that they wanted to come to the opening and we were just checking their passports to understand whether they have anything to do with ukraine or, if they are russians, well, there is such a principle here that you used and translated this term good russian into good muscovites, it was not bad to ukrainize this name, mrs. Elimiro, what is your experience, and you may even have a double experience, because not only do you have to tell about ukraine, but also, in addition to ukraine and the Crimean Tatars, let the world understand who these people are, or the world understands it, and how how do you manage to convey it to the world about his people and the culture of his people and about the people who are part of ukraine. Thank you, thank you ms. Lesya. The fact is that i would probably divide this question into two, yes , firstly, the first question that you asked, in my opinion, we are a little bit, when i say we, i say ukraine, yes, we inherited that system , when. The basis is politics, then the economy and only then culture, you understand, culture cannot be outside the economy, culture cannot even be outside politics, because culture must be ahead, and if we rebuild this system, this is our internal, todays task, then it seems to me that ukraine 2014 will no longer be a model, there will be a new, fantastic, as we say ukraine, this is about the question of how we are seen in the world and how we see ourselves, and i it seems that this is the first thesis that is extremely important, the second, you know, at the beginning of this year i was with my kalizhanka with the old woman Gulnara Abdulaeva at one of the conferences in vienna, and our panel was devoted to crimea, and the conference was devoted specifically to the war in ukraine. And professordoctor of the university of vienna, mr thomas nemen said the following phrase to me, which i remembered, he said that crimea, in the context of crimeantatar history and culture, is generally absent in the european academic space, in europe, and it seems to me that this is just right this is the way for the deoccupation of crimea, the study and reinterpretation of the history of crimea through the content of the crimean tatar identity, so to speak. That is , my answer to your question is more like this, lets say academic, because in our consciousness, in the ukrainian, in the political, in the cultural, in the historical dimension, there are a lot of different stereotypes, stereotypical ideas that are connected with crimea, with the Crimean Tatars , because. I worked, well, very actively, yes, we talked about, i listened to our previous panelists, and i absolutely agree, that is, in different ways, in different tools, but also worked in relation to ukrainians , using the principle of identity, by the way, yes, we all remember, we are one people, we supposedly have one, the same language, the same culture, only you are a little different, you are a little different, you need something to clean up there, to become like us there. In relation to the Crimean Tatars, a slightly different principle, the principle of otherness, that is, they are different, they are muslims, they are turks, it is not clear. That is, they are enemies, but both in this and in the other, such active actions, yes, of the russian empire , the soviet union, in relation to our peoples, the goal, the goal, absolutely one, complete assimilation, squeezing out, what we call our ethnicity and, on the one hand, to make such a soviet person, some incomprehensible nonethnic origin. Will neither remember his roots nor his history, but it seems to me that this is exactly what what has saved us today is a personal inner identity , an understanding of who we are, and this is exactly what we need to build, build, our politics, but culture should not be outside, but in front of us. Politics and, of course, the economy, here is my answer, actually yes, i agree with you, and culture is not some kind of concerts where people will play folk instruments, dance in vyshyvankas, or like the soviet union again drove us into the framework of harem pants, this is your culture, it is presented, what else do you need more is needed, because culture is a broader concept, it is actually what shows who we are, who we are, and this is why. We will eventually be recognized in the world, and the world after a fullscale invasion, not only all of ukraine finally sang ohluzi red kalina, its a pity that only one verse became known, because there is still a continuation and it is very apt and also about the current situation, but this song, which has been sung by the whole world for more than 100 years and now the whole world knows ukrainians by it, well, again, the slogan, glory. Glory to the heroes, was first learned by all of ukraine afterwards 2014, now there is no one, i think there is such a person who would not know what to answer, but now foreigners are also welcome, it is probably those who came up with this slogan, they came up with it, by the way, in kharkiv oblast, they probably did not dream that the whole world would you know, mr. Rostyslav, before i give you the floor, i have to announce very important information, because we must thank those institutions thanks to which. We can discuss here today, we can talk and raise important topics, and this years villa kakarpattia forum is taking place on Financial Support of the Ukrainian Cultural fund and the international revival fund, and the literary and artistic meeting of the word in war was supported by the Ukrainian Book Institute , so we thank you for the fact that we can talk about these topics here today, well, besides all that, we thank those of our defenders, thanks to whom we we can. While there they are fighting and holding the front, we can talk about the themes of identity, and culture is something that is a part, the actual construction of that identity. Mr. Rostyslav, you are an art critic, artist and coowner of the komora publishing house, ukraine itself, in artistically, in literary terms, is it already clear to the world, do our authors know enough about the law. Are these authors distinguished, can their names be given, are we still there, in the end, what are we to do with gogol, for example, is he ukrainian, or russian, or what, thank you, well, i will obviously divide into several such blocks for understanding, you mentioned gogol, obviously we should mention the little one. A piece of history to understand why this happened, in the last panel myroslava actually reminded about the ems decree from the 19th century, this whole concept the colonial imperial one, which later flowed into the soviet union and into russia, clearly worked according to one cliche, i. E. The extermination, emasculation of everything national, which of the empire at that time, i. E. This dominant imperial russianness should. Be dominant, Everything Else was served in the form of this sharovarshchyna and such a souvenirlike appendix, to show that somewhere there are such things, it did exist under the soviet union, yes before and russia inherited it and now, now it shoots back literally, right in that since the imperial times, it was clearly understood and a lot of effort was invested and put into it. That is, in this ideology and in this propaganda, under tsarist russia with its own methods, under the soviet union with its own, and accordingly russia already with its own, we observed only the technology that. The more and more it became more inventive and scarier, and that is, all these the questions we ask, we are now obliged, and this is a great burden, once again, we could not achieve independence, we could not achieve the orange revolution, and now the war is active war, we are already absolutely obliged to explain it and chew it up to the World Community , and about gogol, and about everyone, the whole flower, our cultures, histories and the whole whole bunch of people, who very often were just ethnic ukrainians, and remained so, but they were forced to serve the empire, well, in the end, there is a lot to say about all other people and cultural figures of ours, this is not an easy job, but we are obliged to do it and explain it, on the other hand, russia and the soviet union are all kinds of methods. Only veiled, i. E. Turned it over in essence upside down and all this was presented as such a great tolstoyism , which uh, well, it is impossible, that is, in one panel or a few conversations, especially abroad, to explain why this is so, and we are now hostages of this propaganda, ideological machine, technological, because now you see how to what, how reigns in the world. Technology , a person opens a smartphone and reads, and everything, and it seems to him that this is how it should be, we are obliged to carry out this counterpropaganda, even i will say, or rather counterbattery, in the words of the military that we are currently operating and living with struggle, otherwise we wont be able to do anything, it was mentioned here on the last panel, that russia has practically created during its entire time and since the time of the soviet union. In every institution worthy of the world its own part, all these departments of russian studies are sparse, all these gallery environments, musical, all these academic theaters, all this russian ballet, all this was all financed with support, little ideological, the whole diplomatic and business and state machine worked on this, instead, we entered independence, very often also with such and such, after sma. And this not of low value, and we only serviced this russian car in the tail, and there we have ukrainians in the back, and now we are hostages of this situation, so far we, this is the second part, in which we now encountered good russian ones, ugh , this is another technology, and it is now gaining tremendous momentum , we still do not understand, our part of society, especially such a leftwing one, what good people there are, lets not even understand what this. Plan, can there are good people there, but the plan is completely different, to bring us back to now and then the circle is dead, and as a result, the great heresy will emerge again and some other shenanigans with them, this is a trap, a big trap, and we must understand it and talk about it, it is not the place to be confused, lets drive it out, it must be explained to people and explained to on lengthy examples, and one important additional point is, i often repeat this word. Technology, the struggle is technological, my recent examples are wikipedia, english, you, if you open in wikipedia all our heroes, cultural and greatness of english, you will have hair on end it will be what is written there, we never Pay Attention to it, my testimony was interesting when we were working on the full collection of lesya ukrainka, i am surprised, mrs. Vera eeva. I was reminded of this, i opened the english wikipedia, because there it was written that vesa ukrainian woman was a great marxist and translated the manifesto of the communist party, there is no such thing in ukrainian and russian, but in english, well, this is absolute nonsense, she did not translate anything, but she there she passed it on to someone and so on, but, well, there is a lot in this of documentary correspondence, testimonies, my friend takes it and edits it in the english wikipedia, literally in 20 minutes someone sends it back. So it continued until now, as soon as i literally looked here, it means that the fact that she was translating was removed, but the fact that she was a member of the marxist circle was left, you understand how this system works, we hang our ears, we are happy that oh, we have here well, we have a hundred, no, they actually work the world, and they fill it with rough money
