The host opens the discussion by greeting viewers, encouraging them to join his channels and support his work. He then examines this year’s national dictation event, questioning the symbolism of mass educational actions and whether dictation truly unites the nation.
He argues that a developed society is characterized more by creating its own texts than by reproducing dictated ones. The host stresses that imposed uniform thinking and collective synchronization are traits of totalitarianism and risks the loss of subjectivity and critical thinking.
He criticizes intolerance towards alternative opinions in society and media, warning about the dangers of exaggerated notions of correctness leading to infantilism and limited dialogue.
Turning to the war, he analyzes attitudes towards authorities, mass information marathons, and youth emigration. He notes that strategic state decisions must be based on respect for rights, freedoms, and personal responsibility—not on fear or pressure.
The discussion includes a critique of the centralization of Ukrainian journalism. The importance of individualism and diversity of opinions is emphasized, as is the inadmissibility of iconizing power and the state.
The host devotes a section to international politics, noting that ending the war in Ukraine largely depends on global players—especially the USA, China, and the possible future role of Trump.
Issues of defense contracts and firms close to the authorities are raised, drawing parallels with how other countries investigate similar cases. The host calls for transparency and encourages open debates about sensitive issues.
He concludes by emphasizing the need for turnover in power as a sign of a healthy democracy, warns of the dangers of authoritarianism and cults of personality, and stresses the vital role of citizens’ right to choose and effect change after the war. He maintains that the state must remain centered on the individual, not place state interests above citizens.
