It’s not necessary to present Les Poderviansky. His plays are in all before eyes, his pictures obtained the proper place in private collections and museums, his publicists lunges are sharp, unexpected and controversies, and movement by sinful land from a cleanly mechanical act, often outgrows in an artistic action. About his „defiled” it was possible to make a three-hour elite movie... So the not complete list of reasons through which it would cost to talk with him looks far, especially at the beginning of year.

- 2005 year had passed. It’s clear thing, during the last year you made something, consequently, which you consider the action most successful?

- I do not think by years, simply I do my work. I’m realizing those possibilities which God provided with me, I mean, I write pictures, texts and I try to do so that Supreme was satisfied by me. I can not say that there was some global breach in the last year. Presently I work above the series of works. Seven things. Large Palestinian landscapes. All works two on two meters with a half.

-Recently you finished a play „Brilliance and poorness of gays”, knowing that your texts are allusive, I will ask, what allusions this bout?

-I started to write with one intention, and went out quite on other. There is such fairy-tale about cockerel and cat which lived in-field. Chanterelle wanted to eat cockerel. Actually all is built on this subject. In place of cockerel and cat I have two gays, Vasiliy and Peter. Such nonconformists which escaped from imperfection of the world in the forest, but modern global world and civilization obtained them. Cannibal Mykyta wants to eat Peter exactly from the ideological considering. Right through life he contests with global world and for some reason links this fight with gays. But all of it has the happy end. Cannibals become gays, so good wins evil.

-A question to the man which is not deprived by attention of journalists. Your attitude toward the personalias of this state, well and to журналізму Ukrainian in particular...

-An ideal of real journalist for me is my friend Sashko Kryvenko. There are not too many people who can achieve his level. Sashko had accumulated in himself the best lines of this profession... Well and in relation to other... Let’s say - prostitution in journalism it is internationalism.

-On the Maidan was clear, what to do, now, contours are washed out here, for whom, against whom...

-On Maidan we showed on what deserving. We said –we are not arranged of these fools, and we will choose other fools. We will choose them, and they lets execute, that we were said. This force which we felt, already we will give to nobody. But if we will give, we will deserve all consequences which from that swim out. It is not needed to abandon hope, it is needed to keep in ourselves that force which we felt year ago.
