Exclusive interview with rock legend Eugene Hutz of Gogol Bordello

[@constantinemiro2626]

Eugene! Thank you for your open heart and energy! You are doing a lot for Ukraine! We can’t wait for the Gogol team tour in USA - Canada.

[@Linguiste258]

Please come to Canada!!! ❤❤❤

[@BTroit]

​@@Linguiste258 in case you didn't see they announced some July tour dates in Canada!

[@George-2115]

Eugene exudes the spirit of freedom. A freedom that is "demonstrated not explained"! Gogol Bordello's cover of Angelic Upstarts' "Solidarity" is an anthem of this freedom. Hope is our collective responsibility, Ukraine inspires and demonstrates the need for that hope.

[@goodtohaveinajam8148]

One of my heroes. Got tickets, in Los Angeles Nov 7! Slava Ukraine!

[@ash1eygf]

Agreed. Hero.

[@briang530]

Great interview! "You don't explain, you demonstrate". Loved Eugene as a teenager, but 20 odd years and nine months working with AFU later, and you gain a different level if respect for Eugene's insight.

[@NUFAN1313]

We share a birthday and a last name. Odd.

Glory to Ukraine!

I've discovered them recently. Yevgen , being Ukrainian too, I'm proud of you 👏 Great texts and music 🎶 you are incredible ❤

[@maxsecrest]

Hell yeah! I've loved Eugene's music and acting work for years. So happy to randomly come across him again on youtube, and hearing him speaking out like this. SLAVA UKRAINI!

[@tamaramartsenyuk4360]

Very interesting, thanks a lot!

[@UkrainianInstituteLondon]

Thank you for watching it, Tamara!

[@VlasTrunov]

This guy pulls punk out of pop punk where strong words are just a fancy. Thank you, Eugen. I hope to hear you guys live someday way far from Russian borders forever young and forever badass.

❤ @9:17 “sickle is Soviet’s swastika… ” this is very powerful and enlightening! 😢

[@suzannezoubeck5216]

Great interview! Didn't know London had this Ukrainian Institute. Slava Ukraini! Have loved Gogol Bordello since the first time I heard them many years ago. Hope to see them live this year for the first time. Am sure it will be amazing. ❤☮🌎

[@bastardvic]

They are amazing every time they play! Been to over 15 gigs of theirs in London, got many friends into them, one day I hope to meet Evhen in person, I emigrated from Ukraine around the same time as him, he keeps me on my toes wrt being Ukrainian and helping my compatriots and our friends and families still in Ukraine with anything we can! Слава Україні! (and yeah, 14/12/23 gig was brilliant!, as usual)

[@vmakohonchuk]

Yevhen is a real Ukraininan, and this war gave him a great kickass to rebel and to create. I was deeply impressed by the power of his resent songs.

[@PMeventsLT]

Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava! 💛💙 Lithuania is with you guys 💛💚❤

[@George-2115]

and we are with you! 🤍❤

U do mean nazi Lithuania right?

[@Oodlenoots]

2:46 what is the band? Trying to search for it but don't know how to spell it lol

[@Рьоньчинахата]

It's meant that band: Брати Гадюкіни (Gadukin's Brothers)

[@aserdogman]

The second one he mentions - VV. It is Vopli Vidoplyasova

Eugene huts doesn't just deserve everything, he deserves supereverything

Ну як так? Чомуж не державною?) Дуже дякуємо за інтерв’ю, ви найкращі.

[@miw24601]

My mother side of my family on her dad side are from the Ukraine. I was able to trace my family tree all the way back to the 1870s to a village called Fasland Village in Goberince County but I can't find it on a map.

[@orb2150tx]

I did this and ended up Scottish thinking my lineage was Irish. Low and behold I am from Scottish royalty who fought British on 3 different soils. That crazy ancestry app tells many tales 30 days free then dump it before they bill you 😂👍

[@1midnightfish]

"You don't explain - you demonstrate." Thank you, Eugene, and thanks to the Ukrainian Institute in London for this interview 💙💛

No one I know does?

[@artis1969]

"Ethno-power is a kind of source." Punk wasn't birthed out of ethno-hate. The only genuine part of this guy is the honesty in his ignorance. At least there's no question he came up hating Russians as a core belief. The hate oozes from his pores. Not really the message that stirs feelings of honest and moral defiance.

[@Voodeville]

he is just another puppet of their system...

[@Werwa]

Is it of this hatred that he plays with some fantastic Russian musicians? Or is it hypocrisy? I think that Hutz deserves Nobel peace prize
