«How are you?» This is the question we ask our loved ones from the very first days of the war. This phrase became the key to founding micro-media Yaktytam, co-founded by Kostiantyn Andriiv. In our conversation, Kostiantyn talks about the values of love and respect for his hometown, the importance of creating a civil society, and the role of micro-media in the reconstruction of Zaporizhzhya. Our hero emphasizes the importance of supporting the LGBT community in Ukraine, because everyone should have the right to respect and equal opportunities, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
When we hear the word «war», we think about thousands of dead people, animals, and destroyed cities and villages. When we see the consequences of this war in photos or videos, we feel a huge range of emotions: from pain to horror, from tears to screams. These pictures are difficult to erase from memory. Taras creates these images so that we are not forgotten, so that the war is not forgotten.

Roman Alimaskin is an exceptional person who embodies a true dedication to his culture and his country. Since childhood, he has cherished his love for literature, which has turned into wonderful poetry evenings in all parts of Ukraine. Roman has gone through his own difficult path of derussification. Since 2014, he has become a devoted promoter of Ukrainian culture and a fighter for equal rights for all. He decided to live in his native language and popularize it. Roman calls on all of us to fight for our country here and now. Today we will learn more about the unique cultural project Marmur, its vision and principles.
