      <video:description><![CDATA[Quote
"Alongside the big world, where big people and big things exist, there is a small world with small people and small things. 

In the big world, the diesel engine was invented, “Dead Souls” was written, the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station (blown up by Russian forces – editor’s note) was built, and a flight around the world was completed. 

In the small world, a shouting bubble “go away-go away” was invented, the song “Bricks” was written, and trousers of the “plenipotentiary” cut were made. 

In the big world, people are driven by the desire to benefit humanity.

The small world is far from such lofty matters. 

Its inhabitants have only one desire – to somehow survive without feeling hunger. Small people hurry after the big ones. They understand that they must be in tune with the era, and only then will their little goods find demand. ... when ideological fortresses are created in the big world, there is a revival in the small world. 

All small inventions of the ant world are given a granite foundation ... of ideology," – Ilya Ilf, Yevgeny Petrov, “The Little Golden Calf”.
Introduction
From July 20 to July 29, 2025, Russian actor and director Daniil Spivakovsky plans to visit Israel with his touring play “Attention on Me”. The performance is scheduled in the largest cities of the country — Haifa, Netanya, Ashdod, Rishon LeZion, Tel Aviv, Be’er Sheva, and Petah Tikva.

However, these tours have already sparked “controversy.” The reason is Spivakovsky’s public statements.

By the way, we will not discuss Spivakovsky as an artist in this article — all information is available in open sources, for example, in Wikipedia.
Two worlds of Russian propaganda and historical responsibility
Russian propaganda also has two worlds — “big” and “small”, just like in Ilf and Petrov’s works. These are not just people — they are public, well-known, and talented figures with powerful influence on public opinion. They do not run around with rifles or drop bombs ]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[&#8220;We are not prepared for anything&#8221;: the head of Anduril explains why the US is lagging in the arms race — and where the lesson of Ukraine really works]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[In Washington, an alarming formula is increasingly heard: the US may not be ready for a prolonged war with a comparable adversary. Christian Brose, President and Director of Strategy at Anduril Industries, speaks about this without diplomacy: the American planning and procurement system is too slow, and the industrial base is set up as if the conflict will be short and "convenient."

In a conversation with the host of the School of War podcast he explains why the lessons of Ukraine cannot simply be copied for a war with China and what needs to change before it's too late.

Brose is not a blogger or an outside commentator. He worked as the chief advisor to Senator John McCain on national security, led the staff of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and saw closed briefings on the real balance of power between the US and China. This, he says, prompted him to write the book The Kill Chain — about how America is losing pace.

"The kill chain" in his explanation is not poetry or a term from a presentation. It is the three basic steps of any operation: understand what is happening, make a decision, strike. The problem he describes sounds primitive and therefore unpleasant: the US takes these steps too slowly, and the Pentagon's bureaucracy struggles to digest technologies that should accelerate the cycle.
Why "a small amount of superweapons" stopped working
Brose links the current crisis of thinking to the model in which America lived after the Cold War. It seemed normal then to rely on a small number of very expensive, very complex systems. Everything was adjusted to this: requirements, procurement, timelines, control. Inside was the assumption: if war happens, it will last days or weeks, losses will be few, and munitions will not be "consumed" by the ton.

Ukraine and the Middle East, in his logic, break this picture. Modern war is months and years, enormous consumption of equipment and ammunition, constant adaptation. And if you are not used to quickly changing produ]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[As a protest against the boycott of Israel, a Ukrainian director withdrew his film from the prestigious IDFA festival &#8211; was it noticed in Israel?]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA["My film is not Israeli, and neither am I. I am Ukrainian, and my decision is based not on my nationality, but on the principles I have adhered to all my life.

"I am not from Israel, but I am against this principle"
In his statement, the director emphasized that he acted not out of solidarity based on nationality, but out of principle:
"My film is not Israeli, and I am not from Israel either. I am Ukrainian, and my decision is based not on nationality, but on the principles I have adhered to al]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[The rescue of the Jewish archives of Babyn Yar under the fire of war &#8220;is a race against time&#8221; &#8211; Natan Sharansky]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[While Russia continues to bombard Ukrainian cities, archivists work underground daily to save and document Jewish history — page by page, name by name. According to former chairman of the Jewish Agency Natan Sharansky, who is now the chairman of the Babi Yar Holocaust Memorial Center (BYHMC), writes on December 30, 2025, JNS, the work of digitizing millions of Jewish documents related to Babi Yar has turned into a race against time.

There is another front line that is less talked about — the fight for memory
The war in Ukraine is destroying cities, infrastructure, and lives. But there is another front line that is less talked about — the fight for memory. For documents, paper, names. For what is easily destroyed and impossible to restore. This is exactly what Natan Sharansky talks about, describing the work to save Jewish archives related to Babi Yar.


"If we lose these documents, we lose centuries of Jewish life. Preserving them is not just a matter of the past. It's a question of whether memory will survive at all."

It concerns more than 20 million archival units — birth, marriage, court records, community lists, private and official documents reflecting the life of Jews in the territory of modern Ukraine over the centuries. According to Sharansky, nine million of them have already been digitized — and this happened not in peacetime.


"There are more than 20 million documents. We have already digitized nine million — during the war, under fire."

Archives as part of the war for freedom
For Sharansky, this project is not an isolated humanitarian initiative. He directly links it to what Ukraine is experiencing today.


"This is a war for freedom. Ukraine is fighting for its existence."

He emphasizes that the work on the archives is inseparable from the country's struggle for survival. The war threatens not only the present but also the right to its own history. Documents — especially paper ones — are vu]]></video:description>

The premiere screening will not just be a cultural event, but a real Christmas evening that will unite viewers around a shared story of warmth, kinship, and the power of traditions.
Tickets will be available soon. Organizers ask to mark the date in advance — December 30, the evening before New Year's.

About the film: a story about people who accidentally found themselves together and found what they had long been looking for

The film is based on a Christmas journey that each passenger begins for their own reasons but ends as a completely different person.
On December 24, Ukrzaliznytsia launches a special festive train to Western Ukraine. On this train, people hurry to those they haven't seen for a long time, who are waiting for them at the table of the Holy Evening — the main family holiday in Ukrainian tradition.
But here's what's unusual: the train is serviced by characters already familiar to viewers from the first part "Train on December 31" — conductor Nikolai Ivanovich and his daughter Olga, now the train manager. They once again find themselves at the center of events when new random passengers enter the dining car one by one — bright, contradictory, sometimes funny, sometimes vulnerable.
Each of them carries hope:
— Anna and her little son Matvey dream of spending Christmas with their father — a Ukrainian soldier who is not allowed on leave.— Karina, confident in her beauty and charisma, wants to seduce an attractive top manager but unexpectedly encounters her school rival, with whom old]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[December 26, 2025, an investigation by Ukrainian Pravda about the escape and life in Israel of the figures involved in the high-profile "Midas" case garnered over 500,000 views in the first 24 hours. This is not just YouTube statistics. It is an indicator of public demand: Ukrainian society wants to know where and how the people at the center of the country's largest corruption scandals live — even if they are thousands of kilometers away from NABU. November 10. Morning without Timur Mindich A month and a half ago, the country woke up without Timur Mindich — one of President Volodymyr Zelensky's closest friends. Four hours before the searches by NABU and SAP, Mindich left the territory of Ukraine. Since then, he has been more than 3000 kilometers away from Ukrainian investigators — in Israel, of which he is a citizen. For the editorial team of "Ukrainian Pravda," which had previously found all the key top fugitives, this case became a matter of principle. The goal was set immediately: to find and document Mindich's presence abroad. Israel. A week of searching and a sense of deadlock Already in Israel, the UP film crew faced the feeling for a week that the task might be impossible. The figure in the "Midas" case had learned in advance about the journalists' arrival, avoided public places, moved cautiously, and clearly took measures not to be caught on camera. Nevertheless, journalistic persistence paid off. [caption id="attachment_251280" align="alignnone" width="1200"] How Mindich and Zuckerman were searched for and found in Israel by "Ukrainian Pravda".

      <video:description><![CDATA[Shchedryk, shchedryk, shchedrivka, A swallow flew in, Began to chirp To call the master... For Ukrainians, Pokrovsk is not just a point on the map of the east of the country. It is the place where the melody was born, which the whole world knows as Carol of the Bells. The Christmas classic, heard in American films and concert halls, has a specific origin — the Ukrainian "Shchedryk", written here at the beginning of the 20th century.

Today, this city is destroyed by war. It is in the Pokrovsk area that heavy fighting continues this Christmas, and the Ukrainian command publicly declares its intention to hold the direction despite the pressure of Russian troops. The history of music and the history of war unexpectedly converged in one geography.

[caption id="attachment_251068" align="alignnone" width="1200"] “Shchedryk” - Carol of the Bells under fire: why Pokrovsk became a symbol of Ukrainian Christmas[/caption]
The city where "Shchedryk" appeared
Composer Mykola Leontovych lived in Pokrovsk (then — the railway station Hryshyne) from 1904 to 1908. He taught at a music school, led a railway workers' choir, wrote and reworked folk motifs.

It was here that "Shchedryk" was finally formed — a choral work based on a Ukrainian ritual song. In 1916, its premiere took place in Kyiv, which quickly made the composition recognizable far beyond the professional musical environment.

The music became not just a Christmas number. It turned into a cultural marker — a short, rhythmic, easily memorable piece carrying a Ukrainian intonation.

Music as diplomacy
After the revolutionary events and war, the Ukrainian government used culture as a tool for international recognition. In 1919, the national choir was sent on a European tour with a program in which Leontovych's works played a key role.

Europe, and then Canada and the USA, heard "Shchedryk" in 1922 already performed by the Ukrainian National Choir. The state was not r]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA["We perfectly understand who benefits from news reports about anti-Semitism in Ukraine appearing in the news feeds," - Head of the Jewish community of Chernihiv.

On the night of December 22, 2025, on the last day of the Hanukkah holiday, unknown individuals toppled a Hanukkiah installed near the city drama theater in the center of Chernihiv. Nearby, an inscription with crude anti-Semitic content and calls for the violation of citizens' equality was left.
A criminal investigation team from the Chernihiv district police department arrived at the scene. An investigation has been launched into the incident, and law enforcement agencies are identifying those involved.
The city's Jewish community emphasizes that the incident cannot be considered a domestic incident or a random act of vandalism.
The head of the Jewish community of Chernihiv, a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Chevan, commented to Ukrainian Radio Chernihiv, stating that he is convinced of the political nature of the incident.

[caption id="attachment_250905" align="alignnone" width="1200"] «This is from curators from Russia»: the toppling of the Hanukkiah in Chernihiv - statement from the head of the local Jewish community - video[/caption]

He noted that the menorah has been installed at the drama theater for at least 12 years, and such incidents have not occurred before.
«I am more than convinced that this action was not some spontaneous hooliganism. After all, in many cities of Ukraine, Hanukkah menorahs are lit peacefully in central squares, which perhaps some people do not like — I don't know — but at least I have not seen or heard of any similar acts.
And this is not only in the cities of Western Ukraine, which are in a relatively better, safer state. There are the same frontline Sumy, where, please, the Hanukkiah was lit in the city center with the participation of the administration, as it was before.
So those who want to find a reason to express their anti-Semitism o]]></video:description>
