But maybe it is worth rereading it, but it is the way you reread it, no, so that you, so that you understand, yes, that is, when you, i, when i reread it, i rewatched it, i realized that it is not as strong as i then it seemed, that is, for a 20yearold child, and a young person, it can be wow, and then you understand, its like the steppe wolf of hermann hess, for 20 years you will be fascinated, and then the steppe wolf, the wolf must be read in the german original, this, otherwise, believe me. But bulgakov is a masterful writer, there is no question, but he is not a genius of mankind, and he is very overrated in our country, because he is not so well known in the west, but tell me, please, why does he trigger so much, why does he trigger so much , why such storms, now was the conclusion of the institute of national remembrance, yes regarding the inadmissibility of glorification, which screams started again, as you say, the Bulgakov Museum immediately reacted, immediately all the networks, this one this one. This document could have provoked, i read it before going on the air, it is written in a terrible language, such a cando on i. E. According to the message i agree, but how it is done and in the same place mostly the reaction, how it is done, but also the response of the museum you can find a lot of internal contradictions there, i say again, we are a democratic country despite the terrible war that which russia is leading. Against us, and which russia is leading against us, and we cannot ban writers, the question is not whether we banned bulgakov or not, we will not come to private libraries and seize these books or burn them the books of russian writers on the squares, as they do with ukrainian literature, like real nazis, the question is not that, the question is that bulgakov, who is pushkin, this is an imperial marker, there cannot be monuments to these imperial writers on our streets, cant be. I would for example, the museum should be kept as a research center, or i would, for example, call it a museum of research, the study of russian chauvinism, for example, and bugakov is a chauvinist, a chauvinist, but not only him, i imagine what the reaction would be, of the management of this museum, maybe it would be terrible, but i am so radicalizing, you can find a formula, yes, and researchers should investigate, i even had such a metaphor once, what is russia . This is the plague barracks of history, but who should go into the plague barracks, well, into the chu, to treat, why it is necessary to treat, uh, doctors, risking health and life, in the same way , writers, philosophers, historians, social researchers, psychiatrists even have to enter the cultural, conditionally plague barracks of history, because i am sure that it is also mental perversion, if a person is arrogant and says that i am russian, well, today i am, well, okay, and there is more. Crazy people, there are, there are maniacs, someone has kidney diseases, you need to see a doctor, yes, if this is a person with pride, if he says it with a sense of guilt, then, then, well, you can still do this to listen to a person, but i have not met such, so it is necessary to investigate, one cannot not investigate, the enemy must be known, but it should not be a subject on our land, and when we erect monuments, when we name houses, when we open or save. Museums in honor of these people, then we simply mark the presence of the russian empire here, which is already killing us physically, look, we have three minutes left, i cant help but ask about another initiative, also written in a very interesting language, so there is a position, there is such an initiative a group that emerged, i understand in the bowels of the kyiv music academy, so we call the tchaikovsky conservatory, an Initiative Group was created. E, which says that it is necessary to return to ukrainian culture people who have ukrainian roots, despite the fact that they even created imperial culture. For example, they talk about chekhov, aivazovsky, kuindzhi and, i quote, a descendant of the cossack family chayok tchaikovsky. There s a lot mixed up here, but its just interesting to find out what you think about this initiative, because there are quite decent people who signed it, for example, ahtem seitablai, viktor yushchenko, as well as many other cultural figures, what do you think about this . Well, first of all, we have to understand that if we treat questions of history like scientists, and this is a question of history, then the argument of ethnic origin is not scientific, it is some kind of primordialism, that ukrainianness is something that is given from birth, its blood and soil, well, then im not ukrainian, but i have very little ukrainian blood, thats why im a constructivist here, thank god, the clear majority of our modern historians are, and i repeatedly repeat this formula of benedict anderson, nations are narration, nations and narrations. Nations are products of the public imagination, and therefore it matters in what language we form these ideas, and it does not matter so much where a person was born, you can be born in ukraine, have a ukrainian surname and be a russian nazi, as we see many of the fugitives who are in moscow today , ethnic ukrainians, they are calling to kill us, isnt this an initiative to simply save chaykov on i think its a commercial initiative, i think its a commercial initiative in general, because its necessary to sell. Places for foreigners, say, there those who want, i know, many chinese came to study, tchaikovsky, yes tchaikovsky this label, but it is a russian label, you cant do anything with it, tchaikovsky, although it is easier with literature, there the marker is language, with music it is more difficult, although again, why is it more complicated, the most famous operas of tchaikovsky, they are related to russian plots, so lets not discuss it now, and with russian literature, well, ballets are different, yes. Bavaria in the south of bavaria, seeing this lake near the castle, but tchaikovsky, we still have to understand historical context, tchaikovsky is perceived everywhere as a russian composer, and we remember these more, when you remember swan lakes, when the next gentsek dies on the. Even on television, but i wish that in russia now the swans of the lake turned on all channels, in this, in this they accepted, here it is okay, but for them, for us, we have to soberly look at the world, tchaikovsky is a russian composer in the whole world, we will not be able to make him ukrainian, and there is no need , and we have our own, and we have to do our own, how said our classic, and there is something to be proud of, and more, again, this is an imperial complex. But , for example, i recently had a long topic, we dont have a wellknown female conductor from the city of brodovska, she is currently promoting ukrainian music, trying to do it, but there are no ukrainian masterpiece operas, lets say classical ones of the 19th and 20th centuries, well, there arent any then no, well, its difficult for me in the area of music, im not so much in the material, well, lets say there are leads. Number, if already in the field of my competence, there is a large number of beautiful, successful ones european nations that do not have their original, their original philosophy, so what . Nothing, they live beautifully, they have their own literature, moreover, the recognition that we dont have something is a guarantee that it will appear, like the fantastic czech novel of the second half of the 20th century, prague was all germanspeaking at the beginning of the 20th , at the end of the 19th, the case is associated with who, kavka first of all, or the same. Who there writes novels about prague, in german, this is austria, after all, but the realization that this is so, gives birth already in the second, in the second in the middle of the 20th century, the kundera phenomenon, the grabal phenomenon, and this world class fantastic novel, that is, this is the way, but we must honestly say, here we have it, and we are proud of it, it is ours, it is ambiguous here, the same one of ours can be a hero in some way, in some way, but here we just have a vacuum for. There is no such thing, there is no and there is no, and it is necessary to calmly admit it and work to make it happen. Thank you for this conversation, a short conversation, however, the most interesting always begins when you have to finish the program, thank you for conversation, vakhtan kibuladze, philosopher and writer was a guest of the Program Proper names, we will see you in a week, thank you, watch. This week in the program judicial control with tatyana shustrova. Judges in the service of the kremlin. Who found an approach to the ukrainian themis . Oleksandr babakov. This is putins confidant. But what violations did the board commit . Of the Northern Commercial court of appeal, handing over the poltava gzk to russian raiders. The decision is made absolutely with a corruption component. Congratulations, you are watching a trial court control, im tatyana shustrova. The judicial reform in ukraine is ongoing, soon, a qualification assessment of all themis servants should be conducted for compliance with the criteria of integrity and professional ethics. Obviously, not everyone will pass it, and it hasnt happened yet, the judges. Continue to surprise us not only with their skyhigh fortunes, but also with extremely absurd decisions, others run away from their positions until the Qualifications Committee found them unfit and dismissed them in disgrace. Today we will tell you about those who stood out, and first the news. The Supreme Council justice dismissed the judge of the kuznytsiv city court valery malkov, who was prosecuted for driving a car. For a tip for the first time, malkov was caught drunk driving in august 2019. At that time, the judiciary recommended the dismissal of serhiy varniak, judge of the kherson district administrative court. In august 2022, due to the Russian Occupation of kherson, the judge was assigned to work at the odesa district administrative court, but varniak never got there. Instead , after the deoccupation of kherson, he moved to the present the temporarily occupied left bank of the kherson region, where he received a russian Identification Number and a pension. The final decision on the dismissal of the traitor from the post of ukrainian judge must now be made by the Supreme Council of justice. In ukraine , a complete reboot of the judicial system is underway. Competitions are being held to fill vacant positions in the courts of the first and appellate instances, and the selection of judges for the Constitutional Court is underway. In parallel with these processes, there is a qualification assessment for the suitability of the positions of the current servants of themis. Especially inventive trying to escape from retirement as early as possible. So that they are not expelled for violations, because judicial resignation is not just a pension, it is the extension of immunity and huge lifetime Cash Payments from the state, and until it is the turn to administer justice, there are still judges with very dubious reputations and skyhigh fortunes, who in no way to be explained by official incomes. This is lyudmila kropyvna, a judge of the Northern Commercial court of appeal. Recently, she is very afraid for her safety, forbids journalists to film her despite what she has public and, according to our information, travels accompanied by security. We do not know what scared the judge so much, but we really want to know about the origin of the funds that allowed her to purchase a large house in the suburbs of kyiv, an elite cottage town in kozen. Koncha zaspa is a favorite residence of the political and Business Elite of ukraine. There is a lake, a river, parks, private beaches and, in general, a very picturesque place. At the end of 2021, lyudmila kropyvna bought a house of 260 m2 here with. A balcony and a Swimming Pool and 20 acres of precious land houses of the same area with a large living room and fireplace, kitchen, dining room, three bedrooms and a sauna cost here in the neighborhood of the judge from 1 Million Dollars. However , the price of ludmila kropyvnas house turned out to be almost eight times lower and amounts to slightly more than uah 5 million. It should be noted that by law, public officials, including judges, are not entitled to receive individual discounts other than those given to everyone. So, if the official buys. Something at belowmarket prices, it can be seen as an undue reward or plain language bribe. And this is another judge of the Northern Commercial court of appeal, svitlana aldanova. And she also has a habit of underestimating the value of property. A few years ago, she bought a toyota raft4 for allegedly 600, when the market value reached from 25. Today, svitlana aldanova, a millionaire judge, according to the declaration, has almost uah 2 million in her bank account, and keeps another 2 million in cash. Lyudmila kropyvna and svitlana aldanova made illegal decisions in the highprofile case of the raider seizure in favor of the russians of one of the ukrainian giants of economics, poltava mining and processing plant. At the same time , the elite property of kropyvna in kozyna appeared precisely after she, as a member of the collegium , began to consider the case of the transfer of gzk shares to raiders. The third judge from the collegium, larisa zubets, who has already changed her last name and is now ivanova, managed to escape to retirement. If you cannot count on. A fair court decision, then how can you do business in ukraine, and if there is also the russian factor, well, it creates, especially now during the war, an additional negative connotation, businessmen connected to the kremlin have been systematically pressuring and destroying the mining and metallurgical business, which is extremely important for the economy of ukraine, for more than one year, in particular through the courts, and the undemanding ukrainian themis blessed raiding attempts even in the midst of the war, despite billions in taxes that. Enterprises pay to budget frekspo group, which includes the poltava mining and processing plant, paid almost uah 8 billion in 202223 alone and is one of the largest. Of other ukrainian exporters. In september 2022, the board judges of the Northern Commercial court of appeal in the composition of kropyvna zubets and aldanova , by their decision, contrary to the law, gave more than 40 of the shares of poltava gzk to the former shareholders who owned the enterprise more than 20 years ago, to four offshore companies that were part of the russian vs energy group. That is, in the midst of russias fullscale war against ukraine, almost half of the shares went to the russians. The Current Deputy chairman of the russian state duma oleksandr babakov, together with his partner yevhen giner, tried to seize control of the enterprise. President of the Central Sports club of the russian army. Judges pugs were happy to help them in this. The decision is made absolutely with a corruption component. Ugh. And it is obvious that absurd decisions are often brought to the courts. And on su. In essence, investors and Business Owners can hope at best for a higher instance, the Supreme Court or Even International courts, this does not necessarily mean that this is normal. Babakov is known not only for the fact that he voted for the annexation of crimea, the introduction of troops into ukraine and the recognition of terrorists ldnr. He is currently wanted by the sbu and under sanctions of ukraine, the usa and the eu. And in the united states. A criminal case is pending for the implementation of hostile political plans against ukraine and the usa. Oleksandr babakov is a pensioner who, as a deputy, voted for the annexation of crimea. Currently , this is the deputy chairman of the state duma of russia, this is a coadvisor, this is putins confidant. The second person is also a citizen of the Russian Federation, yevhenii giner. He is the owner of the csk football club. Cska deciphers as the Central Sports club of the army of the Russian Federation. He is also wanted and under us sanctions. In addition, he is a partner of the Russian Corporation rosteg, which exports military products and is headed by an old friend of vladimir putin, sergei chemizov. In the fall of 2023, the sbu informed chemizov, who, in particular, supplies daggers for attacks on ukraine, of suspicion of financing russian aggression. This and all aircraft that are produced, they are produced at our enterprises. All brands of aircraft. This is an Engine Manufacturing Company that manufactures all engines, including for space, aircraft, helicopters and ships, both civil and military. The Ukrainian State Bureau of investigation directly names babakov and giner as the leaders of the organized crime group archers, as stated in the joint investigation of the schema program on Radio Liberty and the scaner project. According to the conclusions of the sbi , the indicated group of russian citizens illegally obtained a number of ukrainian Critical Infrastructure objects by means of illegal means. Frauds poltava gzk turned out to be another strategic object, control over which kremlin businessmen, the wallets of russian aggression, tried to seize, and a trio of ukrainian judges helped them in this. The pakhs board consists of lyudmila kropyvna, svitlana aldanova and larisa zubets. This is how, apparently, after bribing the ukrainian femme, the leader of the raiders, the vicespeaker of the russian state duma babakov, disposed of the stolen ukrainian assets in the propagandist solovov program. Turning to the new territories, i want to say that the expenses should not go there from the budget of russia. We must consider these territories as economically ready to implement there. Production there is the future income of both these territories and russia, in particular, and we should invest there, not based on our budget capabilities, but based on the capabilities of the economy of these terr
