He eventually became the first CEO of Universal Music, based in Moscow. For a decade, he promoted international artists in Russia, including such huge names as Elton John, U2, Sting, and Bon Jovi. He introduced hip-hop music to Russian youth. David also discovered and signed multiple Russian artists to Universal, including t.A.T.u, who would become the biggest-selling Russian act in music industry history. David also did some things that no other music executive in the United States has ever done. Music piracy in Russia was rampant, and the market for cheap, counterfeit compact discs was so pervasive that it threatened the legitimate Russian music industry's ability to gain a foothold. So on behalf of Universal's stable of artists and the Russian music industry, he participated in law enforcement raids of pirate factories and testified in court against the criminal gangs who operated them. David has been extensively interviewed about this subject on television, radio, and print and wrote an editorial about it that appeared in the Wall Street Journal. He also wrote about it for the American Chamber of Commerce and submitted written testimony to the US Congress on the topic of piracy and intellectual property rights in Russia.David is an authority on this topic because of his deep understanding of Russia. He lived and worked there for fifteen years, and raised a family in Moscow. In addition to starting the record label in Moscow, David opened the first showroom in Russia for the iconic American brand Gibson Guitars. David has extensive knowledge of Russian-Ukrainian relations, having opened the first Universal Music office in Kyiv and having developed music reality shows for Ukrainian TV.ABOUT THE PODCAST: Chachi Loves Everybody is brought to you by Benztown and hosted by the President of Benztown, Dave “Chachi” Denes.

They have experienced terrible things like the “filtration” camps on the borders, separation from families, cruel interrogations by Russians, and being forced to live in another country (the enemy country) without money or documents in many cases. Left stranded and struggling to leave Russia by themselves. Some, like children do not even have the option to try to return home or go to Europe. Ukraine been able to find and return a few hundred children – but for victory to be achieved, must locate, and return many thousands. Even when the fighting ends, victory will not be achieved until all the children return home to Ukraine. #IrynaKopanytsia #ukraine #ukrainewar #russia #zelensky #putin #propaganda #war #disinformation #hybridwarfare #foreignpolicy #communism #sovietunion #ussr ---------- SPEAKER: Iryna Kopanytsia is a women rights advocate and public speaker, CEO and Advisory Board Member of White Ribbon Ukraine an organisation that campaigns against domestic violence, and woman rights.

Nick Scott is the Creative Director of Studio Hansa. The firm leverages his background as a filmmaker by specializing in creating truly moving content for brands like the BBC, Chivas, Google, and, recently, Ukraine's public broadcasting company. We discussed all of this and more this week on the On Brand podcast. About Nick Scott Founding the studio with over 20 years of experience at the highest levels of filmmaking, Nick Scott has directed numerous international TV series, multiple BAFTA, and Oscar-qualifying shorts as well as documentaries for world-leading brands. His storytelling lists award-winning and entertainment projects across household name brands such as BBC, Film4, Virgin, CBS, Tilda, Chivas, Novotel, and Google. Nick has just completed his first feature film: Me & The Sea Episode Highlights “Simple brands are the best brands,” Nick said. “Simple brands have simple stories just like the best novels and the best movies have simple loglines.” But the foundation is key. And what's at the foundation? “A good brand.” But sometimes building and rebuilding brands—even a simple brand—can be a complex process as Studio Hansa found when they were approached by Ukraine's public TV broadcaster. Rebranding by … de-branding? Yes, you read that correctly. “To rebrand the state TV in Ukraine we had to do a lot of de-branding to build trust.” What brand has made Nick smile recently? “Nike—I like so much of what they've done,” Nick noted. However, his recent smile was prompted by a moving image of LeBron James when he broke the NBA's scoring record. To learn more, check out the Studio Hansa website.

In recognition of the recent one-year anniversary of the tragic Russian Invasion of Ukraine on February 24th, we wanted to share with our entire audience a very special bonus episode that was previously only available to our Patreon supporters. Last year we recorded this episode with Ukrainian journalist Olga Yurkova, who we spoke with from Ukraine while the initial brutal assaults were still being felt across the now war-torn country. In this episode, Rachel also shared a few of her own reflections as someone who has a family history in Ukraine. We hope this episode will give you the opportunity to reflect on both the devastating outcomes that can result from indoctrination, propaganda, and groupthink on such a mass level, as well as the courageous resilience of the human spirit and the awe-inspiring bravery of survivorship of those still resisting tyrannical systems of control. Olga Yurkova is a Ukrainian journalist and co-founder of StopFake.org, an independent Ukrainian organization that trains an international cohort of fact-checkers in an effort to curb propaganda and misinformation in the media. She spoke with us last July about her work fighting Russian propaganda campaigns in Ukraine with her projects Forbidden Facts and StopFake.org. Since then Vladimir Putin's violent invasion has ravaged the Ukrainian landscape displacing millions of people and causing thousands of civilian casualties in just a few months' time. Since internet connectivity is often unstable and services such as Zoom and Skype are currently inaccessible in Ukraine, we were only able to connect with Olga via cell phone. We are so grateful for her strength and insistence on continuing to inform people in real time of Russia's dangerous disinformation campaign even in the grips of wartime chaos. Olga spoke with us two weeks ago from the relative safety of central Ukraine.

For some that subscribe to a Cold War view, the current conflict is the result of a great game between the US and Russia. NATO is the prime cause of this horrific conflict in some people's minds. And for others it is the result of a global industrial-military complex that feeds off conflict and chaos. But for Ukrainians it is a fight for survival; they tend to see Russia as a local, imperial aggressor. Today I am unpacking these interpretations with Yehor Brailian, journalist and expert on colonialism in history. Yehor Brailian's areas of expertise are colonialism, the international history of the twentieth century, British history and politics, as well as security in the media. He is Special Correspondent for ArmyInform, covering international security and defence cooperation of Ukraine together with military aid and the phenomenon of multinational military units. He also covers the Ukraine NATO relationship. He has also worked as a Journalist at the Ukrainian TV station 24 Channel. He has a PhD in History and wrote his thesis on British colonial and postcolonial policy in the Caribbean colonies.

Anton Ptushkin is a hugely popular vlogger and TV presenter who used to travel the world to bring stories to Russia and Ukraine. Now, having been banned from Russia by Putin (which Anton takes as a badge of honor), Ptushkin's videos concentrate on Ukraine only. His English language channel, Anton Somewhere is superb. His shooting, editing, and story-telling is superb. In this interview we talk about everything from maintaining Ukraine's vital railways in the midst of bombing to the way all 45 million Ukrainians are volunteering there time and skills to the resistance. That includes teronlyfans.com - nudie pics for a donation to a Ukrainian organization. Anton is extraordinary guy. Enjoy this interview.

Masha is one of the most famous faces on Ukrainian TV and a huge social media star. But the Russian-speaking celebrity has taken on a new role. Her Instagram posts about skin care tips have been replaced by patriotic propaganda. The former Eurovision Song Contest host says she is one of around 200 influencers who are using their social media accounts to help the Ukrainian government to get its message out. As the military battle for Ukraine rages, influencers on all sides are playing a part in the other conflict that is being fought in parallel – an information war. And like the conflict on the ground, this fight also has real consequences for the people whose lives it touches. Russia's military assault has been accompanied by an onslaught of disinformation and propaganda from state media, trolls and influencers. With all sides seeking to capture and control the narrative, how do you tell what is fake and what is real? In this podcast series, BBC disinformation reporter Marianna Spring investigates stories from Ukraine, Russia, and around the world, and hears from those caught up in the battle for the truth.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the TV comedian turned Ukrainianleader, standing up to Putin. But the man who's become the face of Ukraine's resistance against Russian invasion came to power in 2019 with little political experience other than playing a fictional president on Ukrainian TV. Today, we speak to the Economist's correspondent Oliver Carroll, who has been charting the rise of Zelenskyy, as we delve into the wartime leader's history, psychology and ask what will he do next?

18WT 047: On this episode we talked about our upcoming game night Sunday night @4pm Arizona Time on March 13, 2022. Yes this is the day the Nation sets the clocks ahead for the Springtime. We are going to play the game Cards Against Humanity (a party game for horrible people). We talked about our NEW Facebook Page for the podcast show and invited everyone to go LIKE the page and join the podcast Group while they were there liking the page. We also talked about the War between Russia and Ukraine. And how the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, came to be president. From his beginning in stand-up comedy to playing the president on television. Then running his campaign to becoming the President of the Ukraine in three to four months almost entirely on line.Entertainment careerAt age 17, he joined the local KVN[26] (a comedy competition) team and was soon invited to join the united Ukrainian team "Zaporizhia-Kryvyi Rih-Transit" which performed in the KVN's Major League and eventually won in 1997.  That same year, he created and headed the Kvartal 95 team which later transformed into the comedy outfit Kvartal 95. From 1998 to 2003, Kvartal 95 performed in the Major League and the highest open Ukrainian league of KVN, the team members spent a lot of the time in Moscow and constantly toured around post-Soviet countries. In 2003, Kvartal 95 started producing TV shows for the Ukrainian TV channel 1+1, and in 2005, the team moved to fellow Ukrainian TV channel Inter.In 2008, he starred in the feature film Love in the Big City, and its sequel, Love in the Big City 2. Zelenskyy continued his movie career with the film Office Romance. Our Time in 2011 and with Rzhevsky Versus Napoleon in 2012. Love in the Big City 3 was released in January 2014. Zelenskyy also played the leading role in the 2012 film 8 First Dates and in sequels which were produced in 2015 and 2016. He recorded the voice of Paddington Bear in the Ukrainian dubbing of Paddington (2014) and Paddington 2 (2017).Zelenskyy was a member of the board and the general producer of the TV channel Inter from 2010 to 2012.In August 2014, Zelenskyy spoke out against the intention of the Ukrainian Ministry of Culture to ban Russian artists from Ukraine. Since 2015, Ukraine has banned Russian artists and other Russian works of culture from entering Ukraine. In 2018, the romantic comedy Love in the Big City 2 starring Zelenskyy was banned in Ukraine.After the Ukrainian media had reported that during the war in Donbas Zelenskyy's Kvartal 95 had donated 1 million hryvnias to the Ukrainian army, some Russian politicians and artists petitioned for a ban on his works in Russia.

Volodymyr Zelenskiy, a comedian who played the president on a popular Ukrainian TV show, overwhelmingly defeated the incumbent Poroshenko in the Ukrainian elections. American media have situated Ukraine entirely in terms of its opposition to Russia, but what are some of the social divisions and political realities within the country that led to such a historic ouster of a sitting president? We talk with Walter Smolarek, an analyst for Radio Sputnik and a producer of Loud & Clear with Brian Becker, about the current political moment and historical divisions within Ukraine.Later, we talk about the ICE raids at a worksite in Allen, Texas, near Dallas. ICE rounded up and arrested nearly 300 people in the largest raids in a decade. We are joined by Marissa Rodriguez, an organizer in Dallas, about what the community is doing to push back.

What use is a strong military if you don’t have a strong message? Russia’s disinformation about Ukraine has permeated worldwide media and the fight back is tougher than ever. NATO experts, Ukrainian politicians and journalists talk about the distinct challenges of fighting a war of words. About the four-part series Ukraine: The Unseen Attacks Fighting in the east has come to characterize Ukraine. But Ukraine’s struggle for survival and self-determination, free of corrupt governments and Russian influence is fought on many other fronts. From cyber defence to internal defence, fixing its forces to telling the truth – Ukraine faces challenges that may determine its very survival. Full script: =VOICEOVER = Fighting in the east has come to characterize Ukraine. But Ukraine’s struggle for survival and self-determination, free of corrupt governments and Russian influence is fought on many other fronts. In this program, we’ll look at four distinct challenges Ukraine faces in addition to fighting on its borders. From cyber defense to internal defense, fixing its forces to telling the truth – Ukraine faces challenges that may determine its very survival. =GRAPHIC= UKRAINE - THE UNSEEN ATTACKS =GRAPHIC= INFORMATION WAR =VOICEOVER = The information campaign against Ukraine has stepped up. From bad Photoshop jobs to professionally cast actors, the attacks on Ukraine’s credibility are endless and put the country in an impossible situation to try and counter. =SOUNDBITE IN ENGLISH= Margo Gontar, Co-Founder, Stopfake.org “It’s exciting, but I think it never stops, I mean, the information war.” =VOICEOVER = Facing a well-funded and monolithic Russian communications machine, Ukraine just doesn’t have the resources to debunk every false message. But to do nothing leaves it vulnerable to the lies gaining traction. =SOUNDBITE IN UKRAINIAN= Anna Kovalenko, Advisor, Ministry of Information Policy “If I talk honestly about counter propaganda how do you kill the messages Russia produces? Unfortunately they’re leading in this war. For us it’s important to disseminate truthful information. We’re not talking about fighting with them. We want to install channels of communication that will in return counteract the Russian propaganda that’s flooded us.” =VOICEOVER= Truth and openness ought to be Ukraine’s most powerful weapons against false news, but their ministries have been slow to disseminate information to the public, especially to the conflict areas in the east. =SOUNDBITE IN RUSSIAN= Dmitry Tymchuk, MP, Founder of Information Resistance Blog “For you to understand, in Crimea and Donbass there are very few people who watching Ukrainian TV, they watching Russian. The population saw the events with the eyes of the Kremlin.” =VOICEOVER= And when people do have access to internet, popular social media sites like VKontake are primarily Russian language, making them hotbeds of easily shareable false images and rumors. =SOUNDBITE IN UKRAINIAN= Anna Kovalenko, Advisor, Ministry of Information Policy “As for the occupied territories, there are some citizens that are pro-Ukrainian, but because of their situation, they cannot do anything.” =VOICEOVER= The setting up of a Ministry of Information Policy was a well-intentioned, but unpopular, step to try and synchronise Ukraine’s communications. Almost no one in Ukraine doubts Russia is waging a information war. But the best way to respond is still hotly debated. =SOUNDBITE IN UKRAINIAN= Anna Kovalenko, Advisor, Ministry of Information Policy “If we talk about communications, then we talk about introducing a national identity and the understanding that can unite us and bring us closer to victory.” =VOICEOVER= Building credibility also means self-regulating. Ukrainian media aren’t immune to making mistakes and falling for false news. =SOUNDBITE IN ENGLISH= Margo Gontar, Co-Founder, Stopfake.org “They just spread without thinking. If something might look like anti-Russia, Ukrainian media or just separate Ukrainian bloggers or whatever they can start putting it round without double check.” =VOICEOVER= Building a new Ukraine that is inclusive, modern and prosperous is a challenge that seems insurmountable. But the strength and will that started the EuroMaidan can still be seen – in volunteers like Margo and in a new, open media that puts the truth before a good story. =SOUNDBITE IN ENGLISH= Margo Gontar, Co-Founder, Stopfake.org “We have this saying on us that ‘the truth and God is on our side’. And that’s why the best way is to show the truth we have. Eventually truth wins over so you just need to show it.” =VOICEOVER= But Ukraine’s future depends not just on how strongly the government, the armed forces and even the people stand by their intentions but also how much its friends are willing to support it through what may be one of its defining moment in its modern history. This version includes voiceover and graphics.
