Ukrainians surviving in Poland feel more and more confident, those who have had the chance to spend any time in Ukraine, even though they may get the impression that they feel more assured in us than they have felt in their own country for the last 30 years.
Ukrainian appetites are increasing and becoming more sophisticated. 1 of their most fresh initiatives is the lynching in Małgorzata Szlagowska-Skulska, which for more than a decade has held a cyclical review of Russian cinematography in Poland, in the form of a festival. Each year, the event expanded its scope from initially the event dedicated to the capital as Sputnik to Warsaw, reaching further urban centres in Poland in subsequent years, becoming the “Sputnik over Poland”. shortly the event gained a second crucial pillar, namely the yearly review of Polish cinematography in Russia. Interestingly, copies of Polish films for the festival in Moscow even flew on a tragic flight to Smolensk. The Skulska work was then supported by Lech Kaczyński and diplomats from the PO. Then Szlagowska added the organization of screenings of Polish cinema in respective post-Soviet republics specified as Armenia or Kazakhstan. Nothing brings nations closer than culture and its festivals were a perfect example of this. Szlagowska took on the promotion of Polish culture by providing dull and lazy Polish embassies. While leading a non-governmental organization, she received for this intent with varying happiness the state's backing during both the PO and the Law and Justice.
This year, due to the anti-Russian hysteria in Poland, the festival could not take place. In the spirit of time, Szlagowska decided to organize a Polish-Ukrainian cinema festival, for which she received a grant from the Ministry of Culture. It poured out the spell of bitterness and Bandera worshipers decided to put the Damn morale straight. It is not acceptable for Szlagowska to receive grants since respective Ukrainian organizations did not get it due to the fact that Szlagowska promoted Putin and the russian cultural achievements with her Russian films! The festivals were under the patronage of the Ambassador of Russia, the rape of a man cannot be! Ukrainians know better what's good for us.
To the Festival I have a strong emotional attitude which I do not hide due to the fact that it was all year, 1 of those fewer cultural events in Poland that I waited for all year. The absurdity of the attacks on Damn is beyond my head. I went to this festival almost all year and all time in respective films. At the festival there were russian films, but it was a classical of planet cinema, these were the russian films that all man should see. As far as Russian cinema was concerned, it was precisely the opposite, due to the fact that the films had an anti-putinist effect and hit the disadvantages of the Russian state, corruption, nepotism, mess, deficiency of prospects, the best example of which was the movie Leviathan by 1 of the most prominent directors in the planet Andrei Zwiagnitzev. any of the films were Russian-Ukrainian co-productions. Ukrainians besides came to the films presented even after Russia's annexation of Crimea, fewer of them were Ukrainians. As you can see, all of this was not adequate to avoid a patch of Russian onus.
I am reading the highly interesting memories of Lech Jęczmyk who, as a man remembering the war, wrote that people lose their heads in war and do things that they are ashamed of after the war, in this case his hint afraid his own attitude and attitude towards the Germans. I am besides reminded of the communicative of Tadeusz Gajcy's résumé of an outstanding Polish poet, who died from German in the Warsaw Uprising, knowing fluently the German language made superb translations of German writers, and it was at the same time as, The Germans killed his editorial colleagues. The gaits could keep reason and humanity by knowing that culture is beyond what is happening around it. present it is attempted to destruct all manifestations of Russian culture in Poland, forgetting that specified attitudes only deepen common aversion and hostility. Yet this war, like planet War II, will end, it will not erase 1 or another Russia from the globe and will not order people to forget Dostoevsky, Tchaikovsky or Zwieginczew. The planet with or without us will return to dialog with Russia. For us, it is better for us to be among those nations and countries that will first step on the way of improving relations due to the fact that tanks and rockets should be the last hotel and not the plan. And the relationship.
I am outraged by the fact that the Ukrainians are imposing on us how we are to spend money on our taxes, with whom, erstwhile and what relations we want. The fact that they harm Poles who deserve to build relations with neighbours and advance our culture in the world. Jaromira Nohavica, a large Czech friend of Poland and Poles, who was lynched in Poland by the combined lobby of Ukrainians and stupid Poles, although calling them Poles, is simply a word definitely inadequate to their attitude for me are only citizens of the Polish state.
