Director Nikita Mikhalkov placed before the authority the issue of harmful activity Yeltsin Center Yekaterinburg. Speaking in the Federation Council on December 9, Khrushchev accused the training program of the Center for students in the “destruction of the national identity of children of” Russia. And called on the government to “adjust” the activities of the Yeltsin Center. According to the famous Director, she destroys real people’s view of what a history of Russia, as “hundreds of children get this poison” daily. “It’s a matter of national security,” – said Mikh alkov.
the Speaker of the Federation Council Valentina artist responded to the statement by the head of cultural Foundation of meaningful words, “We heard you.”
Wait for response to your attack Nikita and from the press service of the Boris Yeltsin Centre. And on the same day. He said the famous words from the Soviet past: “I have not read Pasternak, but I condemn” because it criticizes Yeltsin memorial, never visited it. As well as notice that the Board of Trustees of the Centre is headed by head of the presidential Administration of Russia – they say, with power we have everything in order. In addition, social networking Mikhalkov recalled how in the 90s he supported Yeltsin and emotionally campaigned for him.
In fact, the conflict between the filmmaker and Yeltsin Centre (which opened in 2015) lasts for several months, but now Mikhalkov brought him actually to the state level — after all, his diatribe he uttered in the walls of the Upper chamber of Parliament. In March, Nikita Khrushchev in his author’s program “Besogon” hit with harsh claims to video tours on the history of Russia, which show pupils in the Yeltsin Centre. According to the Director, Ivan terrible presents them as adscam monster, approaching people, Alexander III do not mention, and the whole history of Russia served as the gloom and filth, slavery and blood, dependence and fear. With the exception of one ruler Boris Yeltsin. And all this in video format, without weighted grades, rough strokes.
Speaking about the Yeltsin era, Mikhalkov indicates that she presented as one-sided and no mention of such “achievements” of the 90s, as mortgaging auctions, for pennies privatization of strategically important enterprises, the closure of factories, destruction of the army, impoverishment of the people. Nikita reasonably asked why educational films about the era of Yeltsin told these unpleasant but real facts and reviews about Yeltsin Center, the voices of the workers and the military, which could tell lots of icky about the presidency of Boris Yeltsin.
And it’s not even close to Nikita Mikhalkov – claims to work at the Yeltsin Center, its fun and educational content, expressed by many ordinary citizens and activists of different political movements. The fact of unveiling a monument to Boris Yeltsin in the power of a critical attitude toward it caused a lot of negative reviews and attempt to whitewash Yeltsin by denigrating the rest of Russia’s history only amplifies dissatisfaction with the Center.
unfortunately, the representatives of the Yeltsin Center not get into an argument with Mikhalkov on the merits, citing the fact that it was only his private opinion, while there are a lot of positive feedback from visitors of the memorial of the first President. However, one need only look at the hundreds of comments on social networks with the support of the charges, voiced by Mikhalkov, to the Yeltsin Center to understand – it’s not a single, albeit famous, the Director, but in the sincere indignation of many citizens of Russia. Maybe better to respond to their anger with an open conversation – at least as a sign of respect to civil society, the creation of which is credited to Yeltsin and his supporters?
