Oleg Skrypka, artist and leader of the group “Vopli Vidoplyasova”, spoke about the modern cultural preferences of Ukrainians. The musician said that our society should get rid of vulgarity, low style and the so-called redneck.

The artist noted in an interview that the above-mentioned phenomena are not considered an integral part of Ukrainians. According to Skrypka, they were formed under the influence of Ukraine’s long stay under the conditions of Moscow colonization.

At the same time, the musician emphasized that Ukrainian culture has a different historical background. He drew attention to folk art, literature, music and spiritual heritage, which, according to Oleg, demonstrate the originality and high aesthetic level of Ukrainians.

Violin, when it comes to current cultural tastes, believes that part of society does not live up to the level of its own cultural heritage. As an example, he cited Ukrainian folk songs, which he considers proof of a sense of beauty formed over generations.

According to the musician, the problem lies not only in creating a low-quality cultural product, but also in choosing an audience. He is confident that each person, through his or her preferences, determines what content receives support and continues to exist..

According to Oleg Skripka, changes should occur not only through the work of cultural institutions or government agencies. An important role, as he noted, is played by the personal choice of Ukrainians and their attitude towards their own culture..

The musician called on society to rethink cultural reference points and turn more to the Ukrainian historical and artistic heritage.
