[00:00:00] doesn't learn, but there is some critical number, well, meaning mistakes, well, there, that are acceptable, well,
[00:00:04] there, well, two or three mistakes, I also remember, I don't know,
[00:00:08] the coach of the French national team, when they won, then, I don't remember which year, in
[00:00:11] '98, he said:
[00:00:14] our, our our advantage is that we
[00:00:18] always have the right to make mistakes in the team, well, okay, but
[00:00:20] how many times can the president of a warring
[00:00:24] state make a mistake, as many as he wants, because
[00:00:26] if I voted for this president, then I will... it will be very hard to
[00:00:30] tell myself that I made a mistake, mhm,
[00:00:34] people who tell themselves I made
[00:00:36] a mistake,
[00:00:40] as a rule, among the electorate, it's not
[00:00:42] the majority,
[00:00:44] so a person who has already voted for something, and then got such
[00:00:47] a result, they will never admit their own mistakes, there
[00:00:51] are some people who say, well, the maximum they can say is that we didn't vote
[00:00:55] for Zelenskyy, but we voted against Poroshenko, remember
[00:00:58] that idea? Well, yes, there may
[00:01:02] be more such people, maybe many more people voted against the war,
[00:01:05] no, people will never say that, they don't say that they voted against
[00:01:09] the war, how will they say that they voted against
[00:01:13] the war, and why then did the war happen, well, they are patriots, then
[00:01:17] Zelenskyy is to blame, no,
[00:01:21] and they are now, you are exactly those people who are now blaming Zelenskyy
[00:01:25] for what they blamed Poroshenko for, that he is profiting from the war and
[00:01:28] does not want the war to end. No, these are precisely such people, they exist, they are the majority,
[00:01:32] simply, these are exactly such people, these
[00:01:36] are, these are people who, by the way,
[00:01:38] again, we don't know how many of them were in this Zelenskyy electorate, but they voted not
[00:01:42] for Zelenskyy, but for Putin, and it's very easy to calculate,
[00:01:46] these are precisely those people who say that Zelenskyy no longer wants to stop
[00:01:49] the war, these are precisely those people, and their
[00:01:53] children, don't forget that this is already happening, new
[00:01:56] people are appearing who did not take part in the voting in 2019.
[00:02:00] year, who believe that the war is happening because
[00:02:04] the Ukrainian government does not want to agree on peace, Poroshenko did not
[00:02:07] want to agree, mhm, they chose
[00:02:11] Zelenskyy to agree, and Zelenskyy deceived them, instead
[00:02:14] of agreeing on peace with Putin, he profits from
[00:02:17] the war,
[00:02:20] and these people will never believe that Zelenskyy's desire to continue or
[00:02:23] end the war changes nothing, because
[00:02:26] even if Zelenskyy says today that he is ready to end the war.
[00:02:31] well, even if Zelenskyy says that he is giving the territories of Donetsk,
[00:02:35] Luhansk regions to Putin, the war will not only not end, but will intensify with new
[00:02:39] force, because Russians will have more opportunities to
[00:02:42] hit with missiles and drones from a greater, smaller distance,
[00:02:46] there will be more opportunities to reach with ballistic missiles, there will be
[00:02:49] more opportunities to attack, and a Russian soldier will come to their
[00:02:53] own home, who will coldly shoot them,
[00:02:57] and put them in some mass grave like
[00:03:01] the one in Bucha, they will never believe this until they find themselves in that mass
[00:03:04] grave, but such people are not
[00:03:08] the majority,
[00:03:11] but the majority of people who believe that they voted correctly and that Zelenskyy is doing
[00:03:15] everything correctly, and they don't bother with some
[00:03:19] Attorney Generals,
[00:03:22] will tell you that these are simply people who betrayed the president and the country, the president
[00:03:25] gave them such trust, such trust, and how did they
[00:03:29] handle it?
[00:03:31] Well, don't forget that most such people lack cause-and-effect
[00:03:35] relationships, well, good, and any politician can use this, well, but
[00:03:39] if tomorrow, if it happens,
[00:03:42] tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, for example, delays in
[00:03:45] budget payments or pensions begin, this completely
[00:03:49] depends now on Western support, will these people then
[00:03:53] finally establish some cause-and-effect relationships, well,
[00:03:56] such very, I don't know, I don't know,
[00:03:59] maybe... delays will not begin at all, maybe money printing will begin,
[00:04:02] inflation will begin, it could also be, and these people will simply
[00:04:06] notice that prices have increased, well, war, what can you do, the president
[00:04:09] simply said that there isn't even enough money for construction, for
[00:04:13] drone production, well, that is, it's
[00:04:16] just, I don't know, well, there should be some reaction,
[00:04:20] you are the supreme commander-in-chief, good, and you say, well, the deputies did not
[00:04:24] vote, we now don't have enough money for drone
[00:04:27] production, and at the same time you show how we launch drones that
[00:04:31] are supposedly intercepting Russian jet drones,
[00:04:35] and then the deputies went on vacation, I just still can't
[00:04:39] put all this together, it's hard for me, I look at what kind of
[00:04:42] what kind of, that same just absence of cause-and-effect
[00:04:46] connection, and if we need to
[00:04:49] scale up drone production,
[00:04:53] and we don't have money for drones, then how do we scale it up, probably we need to
[00:04:57] adopt some laws that will unfreeze the provision to us.
[00:05:18] we still have the Verkhovna Rada, which exists, I understand
[00:05:21] that there are people in the country, well, for example, journalists,
[00:05:24] especially investigators, who are engaged in this, and so from
[00:05:28] time to time they gather somewhere together, well, for example, it's not the first time that
[00:05:31] journalists of Ukrayinska Pravda and Inna
[00:05:34] Vedernikova, editor of
[00:05:38] Zerkalo Tyzhnia, are gathering around a round table,
[00:05:40] and they are raising the topic of elections again, and I see
[00:05:44] more and more often they write that we understand that elections are seemingly
[00:05:48] impossible, but the situation is also impossible, because
[00:05:51] the management of a country at war is degrading, and we need to find
[00:05:55] a way out, maybe elections are not such a bad result, maybe we can
[00:05:59] find some safeguards,
[00:06:02] bypass some security issues, and President Zelenskyy, by the way, who
[00:06:05] for a year and a half, a year and a half did not hold a briefing
[00:06:09] for Ukrainian journalists, a year and a half, I was watching what
[00:06:12] Trump was telling us at the regular briefing, and again
[00:06:15] he bans CNN and some others from attending those briefings,
[00:06:19] but at the same time he holds those briefings almost every day, and we have a year and a half,
[00:06:22] and at the same time, yes,
[00:06:26] he gives an interview on CBS and
[00:06:30] there the journalist also asks him about elections, and he says: "Even tomorrow,
[00:06:33] it's just that according to the law it's impossible to solve security problems," but I
[00:06:37] always think whether the question is about security problems, or the question is, why are
[00:06:41] you generally confident that as a result of elections someone will come, well, I don't know,
[00:06:44] more competent, better, not so
[00:06:47] corrupt,
[00:06:50] even if, well, this is actually a good question, first, what elections,
[00:06:53] presidential or parliamentary,
[00:06:56] should there be, there should be parliamentary ones, but they say that they are simply
[00:06:59] impossible, and presidential ones are easier to organize, well,
[00:07:03] good, so let's imagine that some president will appear, we don't know who this
[00:07:07] will be, let's imagine that in the conditions of martial law it can
[00:07:10] be Zelenskyy again, he will...
[00:07:26] some ratings, mhm, well, you know, actually, Zelenskyy has such a level of trust, Zaluzhny has such a level of trust,
[00:07:29] Budanov has such a level of trust, Fyodorov has such a level of trust,
[00:07:32] good,
[00:07:34] and please tell me, are you sure that in the conditions of martial law, if presidential
[00:07:38] elections are held, all these people will run?
[00:07:43] Or if they run, they won't be accused of betraying
[00:07:46] the state in a difficult moment, instead of fulfilling their important
[00:07:50] duties, the head of the office,
[00:07:53] sent to Great
[00:07:54] Britain,
[00:07:57] resigned from public service for the sake of fighting for power,
[00:08:01] and
[00:08:03] you will be told this by the telethon, or was there any way during the presidential elections
[00:08:07] to turn off the telethon, how,
[00:08:09] чином,
[00:08:11] well, what are the chances of any alternative candidate
[00:08:15] for president, even with a high rating,
[00:08:19] to compete with the current president in the information field, you don't
[00:08:23] know,
[00:08:24] the president will appear every day,
[00:08:27] talking about interceptor drones,
[00:08:30] about some thousands
[00:08:33] or 500 hryvnias, we see that
[00:08:37] even Trump is doing this now, he promises $500 to everyone,
[00:08:40] mhm.
[00:08:43] Well, what will the candidates do,
[00:08:47] alternative ones, if they even do
[00:08:49] anything, if they even
[00:08:52] exist?
[00:08:56] Well, these are such questions, I absolutely admit that elections during martial law are
[00:09:00] most likely a plebiscite of confidence in the current
[00:09:02] president.
[00:09:06] Well, I'm not talking about anything else, with all Zaluzhny's rating, what will
[00:09:10] Zaluzhny promise?
[00:09:13] citizens continuation of the war, blood, toil and tears, or
[00:09:16] peace? Blood, toil and tears, obviously, well, because
[00:09:19] if the commander-in-chief of the armed forces promises peace,
[00:09:22] how much trust is there in him in this regard? Well,
[00:09:25] yes, how ready will citizens be
[00:09:28] to vote for this
[00:09:31] blood and tears, maybe they will generally vote for a candidate who will tell them that he
[00:09:35] will agree with Putin?
[00:09:38] just a candidate who is not in the ratings, but who will appear and say:
[00:09:41] "Listen, all these people, Zelenskyy,
[00:09:44] Zaluzhny, Budanov are the party of war, they want war, because they
[00:09:48] profit from it, make
[00:09:50] careers, arrange diversions, that's what they
[00:09:54] know how to do, and I am a candidate for peace, I will agree with Putin, and by the way, Putin will say,
[00:09:57] "There is one unplanned candidate there, if only we could agree
[00:10:01] with him," because all
[00:10:04] these people want war, but we want peace,
[00:10:08] and in this dictatorship of Zelenskyy, who does not
[00:10:11] hold elections, even such a war-minded person cannot win
[00:10:14] elections, what a horror?
[00:10:18] Here are all your elections. Good, we
[00:10:20] and I think that this is not the point now, I generally don't...
[00:10:25] understand why we keep talking about
[00:10:26] elections?
[00:10:29] It seems to me that I know a thousand other ways to change power, if society
[00:10:32] had the desire to change it, well, the shortest and
[00:10:35] most incorrect and most constitutional - it's just the subjectivity of the parliament, I
[00:10:39] understand, but well, of course, about which we often talk, look,
[00:10:43] this week there was an idea to vote for
[00:10:46] just an appeal to
[00:10:49] the president, because only the president can appoint
[00:10:53] those decisions with his decrees, in order to deprive
[00:10:56] Potap,
[00:10:58] the rapper and singer and
[00:11:01] figure, of the title Honored Artist of Ukraine,
[00:11:04] which he received from Zelenskyy in 2020 on Independence Day,
[00:11:08] and the parliament voted for this, they got
[00:11:11] 219 votes, this is despite the fact that Potap, in
[00:11:15] principle, well, frankly mocks
[00:11:18] Ukrainians who stayed here, he performs for
[00:11:22] Russians, earns money
[00:11:25] abroad and so on, and well, 219
[00:11:29] votes, and this shows, in principle, the quality of our
[00:11:32] parliament, how can they, please tell me, please
[00:11:36] tell me, if we are talking realistically, are you an honored journalist of Ukraine? Do
[00:11:39] you know, honestly, I am not even a member of the Union of Journalists, I don't know how that happened, not
[00:11:43] a member of the Union of Journalists - that's something else, you could join the Union, submit
[00:11:46] an application, and in two days you would have been awarded by presidential decree the title
[00:11:50] I have no state awards, although I was in
[00:11:54] Tula. Well, many people are honored journalists of Ukraine, did you want
[00:11:58] to be an honored journalist of Ukraine? Well, I always
[00:12:01] liked Andrukhovych's gesture, who refused to receive a state award
[00:12:05] from Yanukovych, right? Well no,
[00:12:08] we are not talking about that, listen, people receive
[00:12:11] orders, receive national cultural
[00:12:14] awards, we even always said that when people with
[00:12:18] a high cultural
[00:12:22] underground level receive them.
[00:12:26] they increase the prestige of the cultural awards themselves, you understand, when
[00:12:29] Andrukhovych becomes a laureate or Zabuzhko becomes a laureate, or
[00:12:33] Malkovych becomes a laureate, or
[00:12:36] Dzherzepilsky becomes a laureate, to some extent it is an increase
[00:12:39] in the prestige of culture, yes, well, although there is, there is also
[00:12:43] that, what's her name, oh my, oh my,
[00:12:46] oh my, such a famous blonde,
[00:12:49] well, for example, that is, there are very, very many different, sometimes to a certain extent
[00:12:52] controversial, for example, also laureates. There is a committee, right, that
[00:12:56] votes, yes, yes, yes, that votes,
[00:13:00] presidents approve it, there are often misunderstandings
[00:13:03] between the cultural community, the committee, between the committee and
[00:13:06] the president, but this is a procedure that exists in every country, now name me a
[00:13:09] country, a country where there are titles of honored and
[00:13:13] people's artists, well, seriously, Russia, Belarus, probably
[00:13:16] too, mhm, of course, I understand
[00:13:19] what, we have, we have 800, I saw somewhere, like 800
[00:13:23] people's artists. This has been awarded since 1991.
[00:13:26] 800 people's artists since 1991.
[00:13:30] This is Soviet, there is no civilized country where there were
[00:13:33] people's and honored artists. None.
[00:13:37] Moreover, I remind you that all this existed. Roughly
[00:13:40] speaking,
[00:13:43] no Raimonds Pauls mentions that he is a people's artist of the Soviet Union. Is he
[00:13:46] a people's artist of the Soviet Union? And a people's artist of Latvia.
[00:13:50] Mhm. No one in Latvia
[00:13:52] even mentions it. Karel Gott,
[00:13:56] excuse me, was a people's artist of the Czechoslovak Socialist
[00:13:59] Republic, I tell you for sure,
[00:14:03] no one mentions that, what's the difference, how can you even
[00:14:06] mention some singer as a people's
[00:14:09] artist
[00:14:11] of Czechoslovakia, it's ridiculous, it looks
[00:14:14] comical,
[00:14:17] and we still, like in Russia, like in Belarus, like in
[00:14:21] Kazakhstan, because we are still in the scoop.
[00:14:26] And instead of proposing to cancel these
[00:14:30] titles altogether, the parliament votes to deprive
[00:14:33] of the title,
[00:14:37] you see, people still collect petitions to
[00:14:40] give people who truly defend our state the title of Hero
[00:14:43] of Ukraine, instead of awarding them military orders, the title of Hero is an
[00:14:47] absolutely Soviet Stalinist invention,
[00:14:51] such a thing exists only in the Soviet
[00:14:54] space, now heroes of Russia are fighting with heroes
[00:14:57] of Ukraine.
[00:14:59] The president of a country cannot have any right to declare anyone
[00:15:03] a hero. Only the people can do that. The people should
[00:15:07] not collect petitions,
[00:15:09] appealing to the ruler, like in a feudal country, so that
[00:15:13] the ruler bestows the title of hero.
[00:15:17] There is a clear procedure for awarding military awards in civilized
[00:15:20] countries. A very high, by the way,
[00:15:23] serious procedure. Even in the Soviet Union,
[00:15:27] surprisingly, people who were full cavaliers of the Order
[00:15:30] of Glory, because to receive
[00:15:34] the first, second, third degree, one had to actually do something, it's...
[00:15:39] seriously valued in military circles more than
[00:15:42] Heroes of the Soviet Union, because a hero could be received on
[00:15:46] a birthday, well, after the war, but
[00:15:50] the Order of Glory no,
[00:15:53] one had to do something concrete.
[00:15:55] thing,
[00:15:59] and with all this, I would say, burden
[00:16:03] of the Soviet legacy, we continue to live as if it were our own.
[00:16:07] And again, Zelenskyy came to power in 2019,
[00:16:11] a young person, as if, should have abolished all this
[00:16:14] nonsense? No, he continued to distribute these titles
[00:16:17] to his own inner circle. Why should Potap be
[00:16:21] an Honored Artist of Ukraine? Can you explain it to me?
[00:16:23] When,
[00:16:25] when these titles were given in the Soviet Union,
[00:16:28] it was explained by rather simple
[00:16:31] things: first, all this culture was completely under
[00:16:34] the government's control, and all these people were completely dependent on
[00:16:37] the government, and there was no other culture, so this recognition
[00:16:41] was to a certain extent a protection, like Peter the Great's Table of Ranks,
[00:16:45] that is, all served the tsar, of course, it's just a
[00:16:49] service title, and everyone, if you are not given the People's Artist
[00:16:52] of the Soviet Union, it means you are not such, why are you not
[00:16:56] given, maybe you are not reliable, why for so many years you do not
[00:16:59] receive the title of People's Artist of the Soviet Union, well, and
[00:17:02] bonuses and access to various benefits, by the way, people of Jewish origin
[00:17:06] received these titles. there at 70-75 years old,
[00:17:09] mhm,
[00:17:12] ah, their peers, let's say,
[00:17:16] of Slavic origin at 55 for the same
[00:17:19] merits, there was a wonderful story that there were separate
[00:17:22] people who received the title Hero of Socialist Labor, it was
[00:17:25] a huge thing, and I will always remember a wonderful story about
[00:17:29] how the distinguished artist Mark Prudkin was not given the title of Hero
[00:17:33] of Socialist Labor at 85 years old, they said in the Central Committee of the party that they would give it at
[00:17:36] 90.
[00:17:39] And he lived to 90, and they still didn't want to give it to him, because he had
[00:17:43] the wrong nationality in his questionnaire, and then the whole
[00:17:46] party committee, the whole Amhat, came to the Central Committee of the CPSU and said: "You
[00:17:50] promised, comrades," and he became a Hero of Socialist Labor at
[00:17:54] 90 years old, crying with joy.
[00:17:56] But, if seriously, it was also a
[00:18:00] concert rate, you know that, well, yes, yes, well, if you became
[00:18:03] an Honored Artist of the Republic, a People's Artist of the Republic and...
[00:18:07] a People's Artist of the Soviet Union, you had a higher concert
[00:18:11] rate, you were paid more for performances, for shows,
[00:18:15] for films, yes, a People's Artist
[00:18:18] of the Soviet Union was given more money than a People's
[00:18:21] Artist of Ukraine, it was such an unequal
[00:18:25] distribution of baseness, because
[00:18:28] generally this country was quite poor in terms of any
[00:18:32] real material opportunities, but
[00:18:35] a People's Artist of the Soviet Union could more... than a People's Artist
[00:18:38] of the republic, and people fought for these titles to
[00:18:42] get these concert rates, because if I, hypothetically, I don't know,
[00:18:45] Joseph Kobzon becomes a People's
[00:18:47] Artist
[00:18:50] of the Soviet Union, I just get more official money for concerts,
[00:18:53] well, that's why, by the way, but that's why, by the way, Kobzon, you know that he was
[00:18:57] a People's Artist, I don't remember, of Dagestan or Chechnya or Ingushetia, he
[00:19:01] arranged for him and his comrades to be given the title of People's
[00:19:04] Artist in some autonomous republic, because this was also
[00:19:07] a concert rate,
[00:19:11] until he was given the title of Honored Artist of Russia,
[00:19:13] imagine,
[00:19:16] people fought for it, but we should have moved away from all this,
[00:19:19] why are we still living in this, I would say,
[00:19:23] horror? Well,
[00:19:26] first of all, in state theaters, very
[00:19:29] often the salary
[00:19:32] is calculated, I find that word offensive,
[00:19:35] including based on...
[00:19:40] You have such a salary scale if you work in a state structure, and I worked
[00:19:43] as a manager at NSTU, the National Public
[00:19:46] Broadcasting Company of Ukraine, and you, for example, cannot pay
[00:19:49] more, and cannot pay less, which is important to a person, no matter
[00:19:53] how they work, because they have guaranteed money coming from the state, and
[00:19:57] as for Potap, he will theoretically receive, when he retires,
[00:20:01] 20 + 20% of his official salary calculated towards
[00:20:05] his pension, that's how it is. And what is his
[00:20:08] official salary, I have no idea, honestly, I think he doesn't have any official
[00:20:12] salary, well, that's first of all, and secondly, again, do you imagine that Potap,
[00:20:16] that he comes out in front of his audience, and they say People's
[00:20:19] Honored Artist of Ukraine
[00:20:20] Potap,
[00:20:23] and I don't know how Laima Vaikule announced him there, who theoretically in
[00:20:27] Jūrmala, maybe she does announce him that way, Honored Artist, Laima Vaikule is in Latvia,
[00:20:31] no one remembers that she is a People's Artist of Latvia, none of this exists
[00:20:34] there.
[00:20:38] In the Baltic countries, these titles don't exist, so she couldn't have announced
[00:20:42] him like that, it doesn't
[00:20:43] exist there.
[00:20:48] This is certainly a pity. That we cannot
[00:20:52] overcome this Soviet mentality for 35 years, it would seem that this
[00:20:55] system itself no longer works, because we don't have a planned economy,
[00:20:59] it should have been, at least not planned, it would
[00:21:02] seem that we simply should have gotten rid of those remnants like
[00:21:06] some slave brand, but no, it lives
[00:21:09] in people, and I see, I know, no, well, it's just, you understand, if
[00:21:13] people consider someone a great artist, it was already noticed long ago,
[00:21:16] whether in Soviet times or post-Soviet times, it absolutely doesn't
[00:21:20] matter whether they call him a people's artist or not, if a person
[00:21:23] is no artist, they disappear, you can give him a title 45 thousand times,
[00:21:27] it will only be written on his tombstone,
[00:21:30] I had a
[00:21:33] dialogue with, it seems to me, several presidents
[00:21:37] of Ukraine, who said that I needed to be given
[00:21:40] the title of Honored Journalist of Ukraine, because I am such an honored journalist, do you know what I
[00:21:44] answered?
[00:21:47] I asked them to give me the title of People's...
[00:21:50] Artist:
[00:21:52] I said that I don't want to be an Honored Journalist of Ukraine, I want to be a People's
[00:21:56] Artist of Ukraine. And they
[00:21:58] asked me how, what kind of artist I am, I told them, what's the problem, in
[00:22:02] the Soviet Union announcers, Igor Kirillov, there, Valentina
[00:22:05] Leontyeva, I don't know, who, here we have Tatyana
[00:22:09] Tsymbal, they were People's Artists of the Soviet Union,
[00:22:13] People's Artists of Ukraine, no one doubts that they are People's Artists,
[00:22:16] why are we, Mr. Andriy, worse than... TV
[00:22:20] hosts, we are sitting on air, talking, they read the news, we don't even
[00:22:23] read from a paper, we are talking with you, why can't
[00:22:27] we be People's Artists, and immediately these respected state
[00:22:31] figures, from me, how shall I
[00:22:33] say it, distanced themselves with their
[00:22:36] proposals, because they saw all this, how shall I say it, I
[00:22:40] illustrated to them all the idiocy of the situation,
[00:22:42] yes, that is, they somehow realized that if I
[00:22:46] were a People's Artist, it would look wild.
[00:22:51] But they didn't realize that giving someone the title of Honored Journalist is also
[00:22:54] some kind of wildness, absolutely the same, but for me,
[00:22:58] an Honored Land Reclaimer, what do we have there, all Honored ones? Oh, there, there are, there are
[00:23:02] dozens of different titles, actually, there's a whole nomenclature, but I, but
[00:23:05] you see, but this actually marks a person, that, okay, you
[00:23:08] agreed and became a little bit a person
[00:23:11] of the system,
[00:23:13] or received recognition from the system, listen, for some reason
[00:23:17] this is also a big secret for me. That
[00:23:20] there were some Soviet republics where it was believed that
[00:23:23] literature was a people's affair, and
[00:23:26] there were republics where it was believed that literature was such an art,
[00:23:30] well, more serious, it cannot be, there are no people's
[00:23:33] writers in Russia, yes,
[00:23:37] oddly enough, and there are no People's Writers of Ukraine, we don't have
[00:23:40] such a title, imagine how many people could have received the title
[00:23:44] People's Writer of Ukraine, Tychyna,
[00:23:47] Bazhan, I don't know,
[00:23:50] Honchar, then there was a struggle
[00:23:54] for this title, but we don't have such a title, and we somehow live, and don't even
[00:23:58] imagine that the state could make a decision to
[00:24:01] grant such a title, People's Writer of Belarus
[00:24:04] exists,
[00:24:06] and Lukashenko still grants these titles, we just don't
[00:24:10] know who these charming people are, but even in Soviet
[00:24:13] times they existed, there were People's Writers everywhere except Russia and
[00:24:16] Ukraine, that is, it somehow passed us by. For
[00:24:20] unknown reasons,
[00:24:23] we were able to stand on equal terms with the Russians here, who understood that they could not
[00:24:26] give their great writers the title of
[00:24:29] People's, all the others, here is a wonderful
[00:24:33] example for you, of a title not existing here, but existing in other
[00:24:36] former Soviet republics, and they say it with pride
[00:24:40] when they mention their writers. people's writer of Belarus, Yakub
[00:24:44] Kolos, Maksim Tank, these are all people who received the title of people's
[00:24:47] writers from the Presidium of the Supreme Council. To us, this
[00:24:51] sounds wild, right, but it's an interesting point that
[00:24:54] these titles were still given even in the Soviet Union, well, a formality, but
[00:24:58] the Presidium of the Supreme Council, and now it's just a presidential decree,
[00:25:01] meaning we don't even have a president, yes, the Presidium was a collective body, that's
[00:25:05] true, and they even bypassed this nominal, but
[00:25:09] but, but, but some
[00:25:11] parliamentary, at least a pretext
[00:25:14] for parliamentarism, and now we just have the president who gives when he wants, doesn't give when he wants,
[00:25:18] there's such a Let's take a short break and continue,
[00:25:21] stay tuned.
[00:25:29] Now the main thing: an informational and analytical show about
[00:25:33] Ukraine and the world. Politics, economy, war and security,
[00:25:36] without manipulation, emotions, and simplifications. We analyze
[00:25:40] the day's events, decisions that are being made right now, and
[00:25:43] their consequences for the country and society. Hosts and
[00:25:47] experts explain the complex, clearly.
[00:25:50] This is not just a news broadcast, it is a guide in a complex
[00:25:53] information reality. Now the main thing.
[00:25:57] In the evening, on Espresso. Events that
[00:25:59] change the world, the main results of the day in.
[00:26:02] analytics from Serhiy Zgurets, economics with Oleksandr Morshchivka,
[00:26:14] news from Khrystyna Yatskiv, culture from Lena Chechenina
[00:26:18] and weather forecast from Natalka Didenko, a lot of interesting
[00:26:21] information, a busy broadcast awaits you, Ukrainian
[00:26:25] evening focus, daily, on weekdays on
[00:26:27] Espresso.
[00:26:40] Now everyone collects what has grown
[00:26:44] in the garden, we are starting an active period
[00:26:47] of canning, right, we are already
[00:26:50] enjoying the benefits, we put all our strength
[00:26:53] into it, and now the earth will repay us
[00:26:56] a hundredfold, so of course, for
[00:27:00] this you need... well, somehow to
[00:27:04] tame it, do something with it, so as not to lose a single
[00:27:07] tomato, a single cucumber, and
[00:27:10] we decided that the next our offer, namely a set of
[00:27:14] harvest pots, will help our housewives very much
[00:27:17] in this, well, this is a real sales hit, we
[00:27:21] don't just have pots, but they also have lids, and these lids
[00:27:25] are easy to store, you see, yes, strong handles,
[00:27:28] reliable handles, by the way, about the reliability of the handles I also looked at
[00:27:32] how they were soldered, and they are also
[00:27:36] perfectly soldered, that is, even if such a huge volume, it is clear,
[00:27:39] the pot will be heavy by itself, they will not tear off
[00:27:43] and in no case will anything spill on your feet and we will not have to
[00:27:47] clean up afterwards, excellent stainless steel, by the way, it has
[00:27:50] good density, I also really like this, why, because when
[00:27:54] the stainless steel itself is dense, we believe
[00:27:57] that these are such eternal pots,
[00:27:59] how much will this wonderful
[00:28:03] offer cost, remember, less than
[00:28:06] 200 UAH, yes, and if I tell you that such a
[00:28:09] pot, one of the largest, can cost 200 UAH
[00:28:13] itself, imagine,
[00:28:15] one, here we don't have
[00:28:19] all the surprises yet, look, girls, not
[00:28:22] all the surprises, besides the fact that it's already very profitable to buy
[00:28:26] these pots themselves, I also have
[00:28:30] such a gift for you, also a teapot. there will be
[00:28:33] a teapot that will notify you that the water has already
[00:28:37] boiled, because here we have
[00:28:40] a whistle, we see, and
[00:28:43] you put it on, lay down to watch your favorite
[00:28:46] series, you think, oh, I'll drink some nice tea,
[00:28:50] your teapots burned, they burned, here it won't
[00:28:54] burn, because it will whistle so loudly that your neighbors will even
[00:28:58] knock on the wall and say, something is wrong with you,
[00:29:01] and I have
[00:29:04] another gift, right, in these pots you still need
[00:29:08] to stir, and how to do it, you won't do it with your hand, well,
[00:29:11] here's such a nice ladle for your
[00:29:15] attention today as a gift, that's
[00:29:18] right, look how beautiful it is, my God,
[00:29:21] listen, well, it's very, very cute, let me put everything out here so
[00:29:25] that we
[00:29:27] can see, and here are such wonderful gifts for
[00:29:31] your attention. I don't know why, I really liked this ladle,
[00:29:34] also stainless steel, again,
[00:29:38] easy to clean, now there are already a lot of products,
[00:29:42] because one of my acquaintances says, you know, I want such a pot, but I'm afraid
[00:29:45] that I'll get it dirty, I say, listen, well, you have such a teapot, you don't
[00:29:49] get it dirty, well, so, you know, I
[00:29:53] have special products, I say, well, who prevents you from doing this with pots,
[00:29:56] there is also wonderful stainless steel there, by the way,
[00:30:00] there is also such a
[00:30:03] folk way to wash such pots so that they
[00:30:07] shine like new, this is to take
[00:30:09] a spoonful of vinegar and dilute it in 3 liters of water
[00:30:13] and wipe, so wipe and then wipe everything
[00:30:16] off with a soft towel so that it doesn't remain
[00:30:19] wet, so keep in mind that it is very, very easy to
[00:30:23] take care of such pots, and also, you know, sometimes even easier than
[00:30:26] enameled ones, because enameled pots, no matter how you look at it, they can
[00:30:30] crack a little over time, and when the
[00:30:33] enamel cracks, it not
[00:30:37] only looks bad, well, who cares if it looks good or bad, that's
[00:30:41] one thing, but we still want everything to be wonderful, the very
[00:30:45] fact that food residues will get stuck
[00:30:48] there, of what we cook, and
[00:30:51] thus it will first be unhygienic, and
[00:30:54] secondly, it's hard to wash them completely, and
[00:30:57] stainless steel, especially since here...
