The team defined the mission of the special project to show the audience the significance and value of each year of Ukraine's independence, to remind them of each "lesson" and to inspire new achievements and victories of future generations.

"We decided that our project will not be just a collection of archives. For us, "30 years" sounded like "30 lessons" that each of us individually, and Ukraine as a whole, learned during this time. We learned from our mistakes and victories and moved forward. Step by step. That's why it's more about our journey that spans an entire generation," says Alla Mazur, host of TSN.Tyzhnya.

"This is incredibly interesting work. As a lawyer by training and a journalist with experience at the age of 22, I thought I knew our modern history well. But the search for facts about the first years of our independent history is very similar to a puzzle that is difficult to put together. It turns out that there are a lot of events in our shared history that are not very convenient to remember. Therefore, my task as an author is to interest the viewer and show at what cost independence was fought for , " says Stanislav Yasynskyi, the author of the project.

The first story, which viewers saw on January 31, told about Ukraine's path to independence and the first year of the country's life after its declaration. The audience was reminded of the "financial reform", as a result of which people lost more than 14 billion rubles from the so-called "books". About the prices, which increased fivefold, and the first "Kravchuchka", which was produced in 1991 at the Kyiv Aviation Plant.

"Every week we will talk about the next year, the next learned or an unlearned lesson and a new step on the path to independence. And the first series have already convinced : It was successful!

They understand that not everything is worth repeating," comments Robert Opalenyk, editor-in-chief of TSN. Tizhden.
