Pretty little Mother Earth

"Pretty Little Mother Earth", a review of Mavka: The Song of the Forest', at the European Film Festival South Africa until 28 October 2023.

MAVKA’s ally Swampy, the last of the kitty frogs in the land behind the mountain. Photograph courtesy imdb. Toss together the notion of undisguised good and evil, with a bit of lumpen docility in between; the forces of nature with those of easily corruptible and gullible humanity, blend it with hard-boiled yet utterly gorgeous computer-generated animation and a traditional Ukrainian and Slavic…

Dmytro Lytvyn took away part of the powers from the Adviser to the Head of the Office of the President Mykhailo Podolyak and Zelenskyy's press secretary Serhiy Nikiforov.

In April 2020, Mykhailo Podolyak became the anti-crisis adviser to the head of the president's office - communications began to be rebuilt in the Office of the President, and Lytvyn started to be more actively involved in the work of the team. In January 2021, he left Inter.

The interlocutor of "Babel", who was part of the communication team of the Office, says that over time Lytvyn began to be called to media meetings, in which Podolyak, press secretary of the president Serhiy Nikiforov, senior adviser to Yermak Daria Zarivna, head of the information policy directorate of the Office of the President Iryna Pobedonostseva and other people participated situationally.

"Before the full-scale invasion, I was in cooperation with Podolyak, we discussed and together we searched for meanings and formulated positions," Lytvyn recalls that period. He did not work directly with the president, only crossed paths.

On the morning of February 24, 2022, after the first explosions in Kyiv, Lytvyn woke up, packed his things and went to Bankova. Since he did not formally work in the Office, because he did not want to have anything to do with the civil service, he had to ask Podolyak to issue a pass.

"I just wanted to be useful," says Lytvyn. He mentions that then some bloggers and journalists also came to the Office, but he does not specify who exactly. "Everyone tried to pull themselves together. The president, Yermak, others came, and everything started spinning."

Lytvyn stayed at Bankova for a month and almost never left, except to go home on errands. From the first minutes of the invasion, the Russians convinced everyone that the government had fled from Kyiv. The President had to address the people and say that the front did not collapse and that everyone was working in the Office.

His first address was prepared by the former screenwriter of "Kvartal" and the speechwriter of the president Yuriy Kostiuk. Then Podolyak worked on theses for several days. Lytvyn cannot remember exactly when he started writing speeches, but it is most likely after February 28, when Podolyak went to negotiate a ceasefire with Russia.

As trust in Lytvyn grew, he was assigned new tasks, such as the president's speeches on the international stage. In mid-March 2022, Zelenskyy spoke before the parliaments of various countries, including Canada, the USA, Germany, Italy, and France. Speeches were written by a whole team - the president, Lytvyn, Yermak and his deputy Andriy Sybiha.

If necessary, representatives of embassies and Serhiy Leshchenko were involved. He helped with speeches in the parliaments of Japan, Norway and Iceland. Kostyuk also remained in the team, but he prepares speeches for important dates. In 2022, Lytvyn became a freelance adviser to Andriy Yermak.

"Since Lytvyn worked a lot and was more proactive than other team members, he quickly gained weight, while, for example, Podolyak lost it," says the interlocutor of "Babel" in Office of the President. "In the first months of the war, a true brotherhood was formed in the bunker. Those who were there in the most difficult times received a head start and credit of trust from the president.

That's where the stories about the "Chechens" of Oleg Tatarov come from [the president told journalists that Oleg Tatarov, the deputy head of the Office of the President, was hunting "Kadyrov" at the beginning of the full-scale operation] and the strengthening of Lytvyn," says the interlocutor of Babel.

And he adds that Podolyak, who was also a member of the brotherhood, surrendered his position later, including because of wars within the media team, in particular because of a conflict with Yermak's senior advisor Daria Zarivna. Podolyak ignored Babel's offer to comment on this topic.

Thus, Lytvyn moved from speeches to the field of communications with journalists, and on September 8, 2024, the president appointed him as his communications adviser. Podolyak lost weight and simply comments on the decisions of the authorities in the media.
