"They frankly express their position": Tkachenko spoke with "useful" Russians

MKIP chairman Oleksandr Tkachenko noted that "useful" Russians are not "good". In his opinion, cooperation with them is a "logical process". At the same time, the white and black lists of artists from the Russian Federation do not support the official. Minister of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine Oleksandr Tkachenko is not against cooperation in the field of culture with "useful" Russians after the end of the war. He told Interfax-Ukraine journalists.

"These are not" good Russians "because there are no good Russians, but" useful Russians " - they are, they openly express their position. These are artists, writers, and in the future some cooperation with them is a completely normal, logical process because They share the values ​​that divide Ukrainian society, ”Tkachenko explained. The minister considers the "useful", as Putin is criticized and not supporting Russia's interference in other countries in other countries.

Those cultural figures from the Russian Federation who have taken a "neutral" position and allegedly do not support any of the parties to the conflict, according to the head of the MKIP, will not require "for a long time" in Ukraine. "In addition, public opinion, which in Ukraine is very influenced by any political decisions at the state level, will be on the side of the services of" silent "and so-called z-patriots," Tkachenko said.

The official emphasized that it is difficult to say now how popular the Russian songs will be on the streaming services and whether Ukrainians will watch hostile films on pirate resources. "If we produce Ukrainian -language content, including topical topics, we will cooperate with the leading Western institutions, then the trend will change. We are already seeing more attention to the Ukrainian performers," the minister added.

According to Tkachenko, when Ukraine begins to create black and white lists of artists, it turns into a "very specific state". "Another thing is the sanction that is imposed is a clear process. You have sanctions - everything, goodbye. Everything else is civil society," the official said. The MCIP chairman said that the deputies have repeatedly discussed the regulation of the cultural sphere.

According to him, there were many questions during the dialogue, in particular, on what grounds to determine the "silent". He considers it a "post -Soviet system of thinking. " "There are legislative regulatory mechanisms - sanctions. If something else is the work of civil society, ministries with promotional companies that take care of the importation of these artists, explanatory work in the information plane," Tkachenko explained.

He also noted that there were artists who did not represent the "Russian measure" and came to Ukraine after a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation to perform in the subway.

" He complained about a large number of anonymous telegrams, which have a great increase in Russian activity.
