I dreamed of conscience…

I’ve previously written about the astonishing state priorities 👉 https://t.me/mosiychuk72/54861

… while communities across Ukraine faced delays in treasury payments of about 20 billion hryvnias and cannot properly pay for electricity, fuel for generators, and preparation for winter, nobody is going to stop funding “Thousand Spring” with a budget of 4 billion hryvnias. There is money for films, series, shows, and clips.

And then, you know, let’s say, I had an amazing dream…

As if Ukrainian directors, producers, singers, actors, and other members of the creative elite who won “Thousand Spring” suddenly announced a nationwide challenge…

As a sign of solidarity with Ukrainians sitting without power, heat, and water — they voluntarily temporarily refuse budget funding for their projects!

And they call for those billions to be redirected to generators, fuel, community support, and the restoration of critical infrastructure.

After all, what’s the point of shooting series for tens of millions if Ukrainians won’t have anything to watch them on? And why have a show when people at home have been living a real survival show for the fifth year?

Can you imagine? Stars massively record video appeals: “We don’t need budget millions while Ukrainians freeze in the dark!”

And instead of another pompous speech about love for Ukraine — a real act. Instead of beautiful words about unity — a willingness to give up their own interests for the sake of the people.

Then I woke up…

And I realized it really was a dream. Moreover, judging by everything, of the science fiction genre.

Because calling on Ukrainians to hang on, donate, endure, and unite is one thing. But voluntarily giving up budget millions themselves for those same Ukrainians — that’s probably too high a level of patriotism…

It seems our society, and especially part of its creative elite, hasn’t grown to that yet.

Although maybe I’m wrong? Maybe one of the winners of “Thousand Spring” will start such a challenge?..

For now we have the good old Ukrainian reality: the people must sacrifice for the state, but sacrificing budget millions for the people — that’s already science fiction.

And the saddest part is that even conscience in this story, let’s say, only appeared to me in a dream…
