🔈 Among the winners of the presidential program "Thousand-Spring" was the series "Winged Lions," which is connected to the domestic partner of the contest’s operations director Ilona Shneider. This was pointed out in a Facebook post by well-known Ukrainian director and producer Vitaliy Dokalenko.
During project evaluations, the public usually watches for ties between experts and participants. However, he says, those who organize the entire selection process were left unnoticed. Dokalenko emphasizes that Shneider formally does not influence the determination of the winners.
Her domestic partner’s company participated in the competition and won. The director also described the public defense of the project. According to him, the host invited producer Volodymyr Borodyansky onto the stage, but he only waved from the audience and began recording the presentation on his phone. Instead, the project was presented by Tala Prystaetska, who has worked for many years with StarLightMedia series and has already had joint projects with Borodyansky. The author of the post noted that a co-financing partner of the series named at the presentation was "Kyivstar TV." For this reason, in his view it is unclear in what capacity Prystaetska represented the project and how rights and responsibilities are allocated among the participants.
The winners were officially approved by the minister of culture Tetiana Berezhna. In the list of winners in the category "Feature Films and Series," the series "Winged Lions" is listed under LLC "Perspective Profitable Projects." Borodyansky held the post of minister of culture, youth and sports in 2019–2020 years. In his declaration, submitted before leaving office in 2020, Ilona Shneider is listed as a person living with him jointly but not married to him.
