As a doctor my father seen first hand the horrible effect radiation from the explosion and fire at Chernobyl inflicted on people, especially children. We owe it to future generations of children that such a disaster born of neglience and carelessness can never happen again, because the fallout from this accident didn't stop at the borders of Ukraine. Thank you for putting a human face on this tragedy.
I appreciate your English translation you provided to precede such a powerful piece. I cannot describe the emotions you brought out in me. I'm not sure you will understand the expression, "gutted", but that's how I feel. Like you tore my heart out for those moments I spent watching you create this masterpiece. I will never be the same. Thank you.
Это совершенно восхитительно! И то,как автор передает движение, и то как рисует мельчайшие элементы..И то какие темы поднимает..
Особенно вызывает восхищение музыкальный фон и его синхронность с изображением..Интересно, Ксения его сама подбирает?Потому что если да.то у нее талант не только художницы.но и режиссера..и в чем-то даже сценариста.Удивительная девушка,недаром ее Украина выбрала как самую талантливую!
The News Media has a souless way of informing us, giving us numbers and facts only. Through art like this we can really feel in our hearts some compassion, some pain and suffering. Empathy. Humanity.
Here in America we're so swamped with entertainment and trivial nonsense and facts and figures that we tend to forget that everyone is human, everywhere, and noone deserves to suffer this way
Thank God for Artists like this. They do more for us than we can imagine.
Мало того, что девушка оочень красивая, она ещё и талантливая! Это дар... Я никогда не думала, что такой жанр может довести до слёз... Это очень красиво... Огромное вам спасибо за то, что вы делаете!
Я из Баку мне очень плоха стал когда смотрел это работу. Она проста прелесть незнаю что сказат. Я даже плокал ( Мы Азербаджачи тоже не забудет тот день.((
рыдаю навзрыд и не могу остановиться..очень больная тема, много смотрела документальных фильмов и т.д. Но действительно, сечас мало кто вспоминает эту страшную трагедию,или вспоминают на 2 минуты в день памяти проишествия. Большое Вам спасибо за ваш талант, искренность и непосильный труд (без него тут не обошлось) Побольше радуйте нас своими роботами, вы МОЛОДЕЦ! БРАВО!
I wept watching this.. I have a daughter and could never imagine this kind of loss. To know that many people suffered like this is devastating. Thank you, could not have been done better.
AMAZINGGGGGGGGG! what an art! what a msg! this is brilliant and outa world!ur amazingly talented with a great loving heart. u also look v nice. great. ty for ur art......ty
Absolutely amazing. The best thing I have seen in years, and one of those moments that I will remember this for years to come. You talent is undeniable and something we as humans are forever grateful for.
I wish that people would abandon nuclear power. It's too dangerous!
The people at Fukishima lied about the amount of radiation released. Some say it was really ten times the amount of Chernobyl. Yet; nations continue to use nuclear power.
Saludos Kseniya Simonova.! Estoy profundamente impresionada con tu buen estilo cultivado: Dibujos con Arena, sobre todo q' es muy difícil sostener la arena en el puño de la mano, la agilidad con q' transportas las cosas o las transformas me dejan tremendamente sorprendida. Revivir escenas a través de la habilidad de las manos, exteriorizar vivencias exacta, es grandioso.Eres un ser dotada y bendecida de Dios.
How many Tschernobyl accents does the we need? Is it not clear to the world leaders that new and different means of energy must be found?! May Japan and the rest of the world not go through the Global tragedy that Ukraine did. Always in my heart Tschernobyl.
I dont cry very often but while i was watching this video, I couldn't stop my tears. You're so talented, skilled and creative. I wish you a successful life because you totally deserve it.
@KayaOfAyalia I'm born in New Zealand too~ I'm two years younger and I know what you mean. Things that I was never around in hit me hard too. It's nice finding someone from the same country who agrees
Chernobyl was so preventable. So many idiotic mistakes which led to so much suffering and death. That's why I'm glad my country is nuclear free. I only wish it was idiot free.
Thank you for sharing your talent with the world. You are such an amazing talent. Not only can you illustrate a story wonderfully, but the emotions you create and invoke are astronomical. Please keep sharing. Thanks again. Looking forward to seeing your piece on the stage at Eurovision.
Great unforgettable masterpiece ! Tears are now leaving my eyes and passing down my lips. Part of my family was in Europe during that moment and suffered serious illness. One day my parents showed me the picture of the face made in pencil by someone who lived close to Sambor (now Ukraine). To me this picture was better than the photography. I couldn' believe it was simply drawn by human being. Wherever the pain appears, there is a place for a great artists to be called for their masterpiece.
Ти — збожеволіла. З лахміття ляльку ти Несеш — куди? Хіба в психіатричку?! Тебе — знайти, од пекла вберегти! А ти втекла, як в пекло, в електричку... Спеленуте ніщо в твоїх руках. А груди чом так спалено розпухлі, А губи чом запалені в вавках — Запалені на вогняному кухлі?! Який напій ти в квітень той пила, Коли, заквітла сином, ти ходила, Від Ірода себе не вберегла — Тебе накрила та нечиста сила?! Иван Драч "Чернобыльская мадонна" Спасибо, Ксения
I loved all of your works so far, but this takes it to another level with added production. Congrats. Hope you'll get to do what you love and what you are good at for a long long time!
I think that work about Great patriotic war of Soviet Union is best your video. I think that struggle of Soviet Union for freedom can be great inspiration for many videos. Best wishes.
1) начало на английском, в анимации все по английски, весь упор делается на зарубежную аудиторию. Я согласен, что об этом должны знать многие, но это можно было решить иным способом: выпустить 2 версии ролика, один на русском языке, второй на английском... или выпустить на русском языке и наложить английские субтитры.
2) интересно, кто составлял такие теги (tags) к этому видео? Что тут делают теги "moscow, russia, jazz" и где тег "Украина/Ukraine"?
Года идут, и многие забывают об этой трагедии... Этот день у многих проходит как обычный день, да, по ТВ в новостях напомнят, но этого мало. Такие ролики дают возможность вспомнить, прочувствовать, осознать всю трагедию. Надеюсь этот день будут помнить многие, и сделают свои выводы.
