The new season of the project “Tochka Opory” (Point of Support) is dedicated to candid conversations about life and relationships during war, shared Svetlana Leontyeva.
The popular Russian TV show, which first aired in 2018, has gained a large following for its honest and thought-provoking discussions on various social issues. This season, the focus is on the impact of war on individuals and their relationships.
Svetlana Leontyeva, the host and creator of the show, is known for her ability to create a safe and open space for her guests to share their personal experiences. In an interview, she explained the inspiration behind the new season, saying, “War is a topic that affects us all, whether directly or indirectly. It’s important to have these conversations and shed light on the realities of living in a war-torn country.”
The guests on the show include soldiers, their families, and civilians who have been affected by war. Through their stories, the audience gets a glimpse into the challenges and struggles faced by those living in conflict zones. The show also aims to break the stigma surrounding mental health and encourage open discussions about trauma and its effects.
One of the most powerful episodes of the season features a young couple, Maria and Ivan, who met and fell in love during the war in Eastern Ukraine. They share their journey of navigating their relationship amidst the chaos and uncertainty of war. “It’s not easy, but we have each other and that’s what keeps us going,” says Maria, as she holds Ivan’s hand.
The show also addresses the impact of war on children, with a special episode featuring a group of young survivors from Syria. They share their experiences of losing their homes and loved ones, and the challenges of starting a new life in a foreign country. The episode serves as a reminder of the devastating effects of war on innocent lives.
Through these candid conversations, “Tochka Opory” aims to raise awareness and promote empathy towards those affected by war. The show also highlights the resilience and strength of individuals in the face of adversity.
