Kyiv's techno scene and Russia's war | DW Documentary

- They are young, they love music and they are living in a time of war. Russia's attack on Ukraine has radically changed the lives of people like Dasha, Vika and Sasha. These three left their normal jobs to rebuild their homeland as part of the "Repair Together" initiative.
Repair Together was founded in May 2022 by four creative urbanites from the Kyiv techno scene. Unlike many other aid initiatives, this one combines reconstruction with community, creativity and music. In the summer of 2022, their "reconstruction raves" drew hundreds of volunteers from around the world to clean up and rebuild destroyed villages in northern Ukraine.
But the longer the war lasts and the colder the temperatures get, the harder it gets to maintain the group’s cohesion. Support also threatens to wane. As temperatures drop, people tend to go to indoor techno parties -- not ones held on open-air construction sites. As winter approaches, fewer and fewer volunteers sign up for construction work, forcing the foursome to pause most reconstruction projects until it gets warmer, again.
But Dasha and Vika, two of the organizers of Repair Together, want to continue building a house just before spring. Because they know that if they don't give the family back their home as soon as possible, in all likelihood, no one will. "All hopes are just with NGOs, like ours. Because the state can't help, it's at war. It does not yet have the capacity to build private homes," Vika knows. To attract helpers to their building project even without the "building raves," the two young women are coming up with creative and unconventional ideas for their social media channels. "We want to show: We’re not only building, but also spending a good and exciting time in the village," says Dasha. But given the biting cold, how many participants will ultimately sign up?

I donated to this organization last summer and seeing now the results really brings tears to my eyes. Thank you guys for bringing hope and care to people who need it now the most. You are heroes!
Im gonna save up money and go help and meet and help these heroes out. Im a lucky Scandinavian, and need meaning in my life, struggling with addiction and currently 7months clean, i need to go do something meaningful ❤
If you are clean better stay where you are.
Respect for staying sober, brother.
Greetings from Ukraine
Есть более ценные вещи, которые ты должен сделать в этой жизни, что бы мир ☮️ стал лучше.😊😊 Как то так...
Ukraine is a very inspiring place - save up and go there whenever you can, you might find what you need in your life there . I just returned from kyiv back to NYC - didn’t get to go to those tech construction parties but met a renowned French architect who went there and told me how great it was
Stay clean and stay away from other people problems and techno parties
Hats off to these youngsters. 🇺🇦

The resilience and determination of Dasha, Vika, and Sasha in the face of adversity is truly inspiring. "Repair Together" is not just about rebuilding infrastructure; it's a testament to the power of community, creativity, and music in the midst of hardship. Thank you for sharing this remarkable story.
Known as, "strangers."
Bless Ukraine and bless these young men and women who bring light and love in this awful, unjust war ❤
These people are so inspiring! But it breaks my heart to think that one man changed the course of their lives forever. I hope they stay safe and that this terrible war finally comes to an end. Freedom to Ukraine!
Stop being silly . Propaganda movie all lie
Techno makes the world go round. ❤
Fun, n o t work.

Around the world, around the world
These three young people are the essences of Ukraine, it is what makes Ukraine so special, people giving all they have to help each other and to save freedom in and for Ukraine, we the West and EU must do more to ensure success for Ukraine against the criminal state of Russia.

This channel does some random topics but it is always a great job. The amount of random facts I know about places is all thanks to this
Thank you for watching and enjoying our content. We aim to cover important global issues and stories. :)
I want to work for DW@@DWDocumentary
This is brilliant ! Young people need to have some level of Fun. What motivates many is the "Work Hard & Play Hard" Mentality ! Other people should replicate this methodology going forward !!
Speechless of these guys, so much respect!
Techno never stops.
You guys are awesome and I love the way you think! There's nothing better than giving, helping and making a difference! ❤❤
FYI in the '80s we wore those ski suits unironically.
😂
Planting passive energy and delightful emotions inside human consciousness whose suffering of wars bad consequences are a great doing. It's a great journal coverage documentary organized by a respectful (DW) documentary channel
Amazing human resilience.
Slava Ukrainie ❤
Go Ukraine!!! But please don't use phrases closely associated with the 3rd Reich. The people who created that slogan back in the day in Ukraine mass-murdered Pols and Jews. Google up the historical photos of that phrase, it's not pretty.

Russian army shoot not the civils buildings not clinics or hospitals , they shoot the military objects or the places where hiding the troopers , all civils getting evacuated. STOP UNTIRUSSIAN PROPAGANDA !!!
Habitat for Humanity..❤
Absolutely amazing 🤩 KEEP IT UP!!! God bless you all and your Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤🎉
"God" is part of the problem as well.but rave on, life is precious and fleeting.
Such cool caring people. Art lives everywhere!
Respect to these Ukrainians
🔥 Thank you, another very interesting one...
They are indeed angels in human forms, VIVA UKRAINE 👍👍❤️❤️.
Wild at hearts... what an inspiration!!!
Truly inspiring
Thanks DW for covering this!
Thanks for watching our documentary!
this wasn't so much about techno as just them doing other things but its cool to see
exactly... that's the msg... but if it takes music to get ppl to do what they should... so be it!... the msg these kids are sending is '' we didn't lose our values to partying and drugs... something I don't see many ppl in the comments stand for... they even said that at some point '' most of them were coming just to be here with us'' and that makes sense too... I bet all able builders are somewhere else building or fighting... so ''doing something is always better than nothing'' and that's what these kids are doing... ''something'' something important!...
You are great people, love and respect from Georgia!
Very inspiring young folks, great spirit shown in times of despair 😊
Thanks for watching!
Surive to inspire. Inspire and collaborate.
In my City in Germany we got a ukrainian group who is doing techno partys for Ukraine, they travel to Ukraine and do the same thing with the money they get. Great to see
God bless you all doing something good to repair your broken country and raving at the same time you have blessed the grandma life❤❤🎉🎉
Gunther and The Sunshine Girls are in Ukraine and doing construction! Good work guys.
Beautiful. Showing the best part of humanity right there. Well done Dasha Vika and Sasha and all those that help you.
You got to do what you got to do keep people's spirits up. Keep up the good work!
Could you ADD LINKS TO THE REPAIR TOGETHER PEOPLE?
You know, support!
Thank you - love will triumph
It is fantastic what these people are doing! They are giving people hope and boosting their spirits. People working together like this is what the world needs a lot of. They show everyone they are human and care. BRAVO!! NEVER GIVE UP!! 😀
Thanks so much for posting.
Thanks for watching!
just respect guys! I felt emotional bond while watching this, maybe I'd help you this summer too:)
Wow! Very commendable in such terrible times! ❤
Me and my friends were so impressed and inspired by the project that we organised a fundraiser event in Berlin to collect money for "repair together".
Keep up the amazing work! It really makes a difference
Thanks for the Documentary, DW
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Seeing this much empathy, love and wish to help in these young generations, gives a huge amount of hope in humanity.
I never say this, but God bless them 💛
Why not just bless them? Seeing as there is no God it is only fiction as described by those who control the patriarchy.
These young people are amazing, just amazing.
Amazing!
Tears glisten in the eye of these lovely youths; mine fall. They defeat the pain with action. Except for that cat, beautiful.
Digging the tunes. Any links to some Dj sets?
Super!
@DW Documentary no link in description to their channel ? 😊
I want to help with this. Where do I sign up?
What great determined people,so brave.
God bless you
Von Der leyon said the eu and Germany in particular would crush the Russian economy and currency. Hows that going?
respect
lov this doc
Sorry, I might ve wrong but i didn't see they did much work related to the construction of the house at least in this video, all i see is them dancing and drinking in their cool outfit and enjoying their cool vibes. And the grandma who already suffered a lot in the war has to prepare meals and even vodka for them every week? 😢😢
What a beautiful church on 0:52 !
Thank you for making this report, great job!
Thanks for watching!
Respect wonderful people ❤ 🇺🇦
Legends!
❤❤❤❤❤ Ukraine
They are awesome, inspiring people. I wish them all the best :)
Amazing people ❤ strong and smart and resilient. They should be a big inspiration for everyone
the guy just standing there not even allowed to mix the cement is crazy to me.
What a bunch of legends!
Great film about these very original, kind-hearted people
Guys, you are real angels! I am speachless how strong you are❤❤❤❤❤
Love this story! Keep up the great work y’all, Love will prevail
Anyone know the name of the song at 4:50? I know it's sourced from one of their videos but I can't find it
Music is the key to world peace ✌🏻
Prayers for Ukraineniains, peace must be restored and war must be stopped. Countries should promote peace and friendliness instead violence and hate, what goes around comes around.
Am wondering if strawbale construction would be cheaper and quicker with sprayed concrete exterior would be more insulative. Tip of the cane to these energetic kids
What's the name of the song at 16:08? :)
Im so glad she puts on maleup to go do construction
This is so real….
Techno music is a religion, it unites all nations and all people.
Yes! United us in our hearts and souls, because that’s where the groove is, and we dance for freedom, and equality! And we celebrate life, and love, and fat beats!
In Kyiv fad for techno has faded around 2016 tbh. There's much more electro sound and last fad - 130bpm ish amen-breakbeats. I mean you can call it techno, but times of all-night long acid/industrial techno are gone. And it's not like time is stuck (unlike some other music places 😉 ), so sound is constantly changing.
But yeah, nothing new has been done in years within this genre
The power of Techno music ❤
Millions of college students would love to rebuild Ukraine for college credits towards architectural and engineering degrees - millions of American retirees would love to live in Ukraine with lower prices spending those SSI checks - overnight a whole new service industry created in Ukraine - those college students with those degrees some will stay and become Ukrainians - boosting Ukraine's productivity - scrap steel everywhere needs to made into tools and equipment - boom times ahead for Ukraine
Anyone got the track ID at 2:15?
Any links of these guys?
What's the banger at 2:20?
Some years ago was an interesting film from Vice : illegal raves in Europe's only war zone.(you can find in UA-cam) The film is about Donetsk parties, also useful to see from another point of view
International Legends.
how to find them?
"pickles are good for the soul" Bless Grandma Nadja
2:17 track id pls?
where was the Techno part??
actually the last duke was great uncle michael. i met him one time when i was about five.
Where do you get those cool suits?
We wore those "suits" all throughout the 80/90s in winter. Adults and kids. We looked cool and were comfortably warm. 😊
Grandma Nadia is a queen
I would love to work for DW but I live in the Netherlands.
AMAZING JOB YOU ARE GREAT EXAMPLES TO HUMANITY LOVE FROM NYC 🗽🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🗽
it all about the vibe. I am a Canadian/Ukrainian goth/punk. most older ladies know we are the ones to help usually. subcultures always do.
WOW
This guy Sasha must feel very proud of himself.
Techno and House music is the answer ! Slava Ukraine
jeez look at how much mortar they used!
Greetings from Ireland 'turn up the bass'
Imaging mixing cement in winter and leaving gaps between the concrete 🤣😭 insanity
I’m thinking they must have gone back to fill in gaps when cameras weren’t rolling. But, idk 🤷🏻♀️
