Here Yarmolnik with Fomenko in Latvia on the radio and talked about what a terrible and stupid cattle lives in Russia. Quietly and, apparently, out of habit, they signed for all of us in savagery and barbarism in front of the "civilized" Balts. And it's not even that most of of the 30th minute that was said, when it came to politics and art, it just sounds delusional and has nothing to do with reality - the tone itself and the undisguised contempt for Russia are important.
For example, Yarmolnik on blue eye claims that 90% of Krymnash supporters, that is, the majority of the Russian people, will not be able to find Crimea on geographical map. And all the supporters of traditional values who criticize modern Art, they won’t name 3-4 paintings by Vasnetsov, Repin, Perov ... It’s good that at least Serov wasn’t mentioned - he would have sat in a puddle, given the recent queues for his exhibition in the Tretyakov Gallery. It is not even necessary to refute such statements - we are talking about open contempt and disrespect for the majority of our compatriots.
The once good humorist Fomenko went even further, saying that "we got into civilization recently and by accident," which means that we should not care about the opinion of the barbarian majority about the behavior of the enlightened minority. From his semi-delusional logic, it turns out that Makarevich has the right to a free opinion, and everyone else should shut up. He literally says: they say, we need to take away their phones, where they write statements to the police (sitting on the toilet, Yarmolnik adds), and let them sit in a stinking line "near the homeless" and try to write appeals by hand, as it should be cattle. When asked by the hosts that most people have such a position, Fomenko replies that we have no position - otherwise we would have already stood in the squares or smashed half of Paris like French students.
IN the highest degree demonstrative arguments of representatives of our bohemia, given the earlier proposed by Yampolskaya the conclusion of an agreement between cultural figures and society on the coordination of each other's interests under the supervision of the state. What and how can you negotiate with this kind of mankurts, who despise compatriots and consider us all undeveloped savages in the form of a down from "our rush" swearing while sitting on the couch? How to reach a compromise of a narcissistic minority without conscience and honor, despising the people, with the same people? What can be genuine art without love for the cause and the viewer, for their homeland? Is it possible to talk about the revival of Russian culture, or at least the cessation of degradation mass culture when its leaders openly hate those with whom they were born in the same country?
There are just no words ... Here are the bastards, they themselves earn money, they live here, but it turns out that we are all rednecks, they are the only ones here, all in white, they live - they suffer ..
Leonid Yarmolnik has enough achievements and deeds. But, summing up the personal results of the year, he called the appearance of Pasha's second grandson the most important event. Twice grandfather explained why he appears on TV so rarely, spoke about the main projects and explained why he is now congratulated all year round “And again“ Happy New Year!
“We live with grandchildren in the country”
- What important events remember 2017?
The main thing is the birth of the second grandson. Grandchildren are my greatest happiness. With their appearance, I again look at the world through the eyes of children, rediscovering it - it's very interesting. You start noticing things you didn't notice before. understand what you didn’t understand before, and so on.
- Do you often see your grandchildren?
All free time I spend with them: I walk, I play. While the children are small, we all live together in the country, so we see each other almost every day.
As for work, I continue to play in the play “And again“ Happy New Year! ”, Which I love very much. I don’t really like the word “entreprise”, so when we worked on this project, we tried to do everything to make it a full-fledged theatrical performance. I am from Shchukin, Vakhtangov, and our performance is Vakhtangov in every respect. It is very difficult to stage a modern play in such a way that it makes you laugh and think about what is happening in life. Here it happened. The production team is one of the best: artists - Alexander Borovsky, Oksana Yarmolnik, Damir Ismagilov, as musical arrangement sound Butman, Bashmet and Matsuev, my partner Kolya Fomenko. We can already be proud of one poster! Spectators come to our performance for the second and third time.
- What new projects are planned for 2018?
There is a big idea that my co-producer and friend Valery Todorovsky and I hope to implement in 2018 - the film "Odessa". We were supposed to shoot this movie in 2017, but, unfortunately, we could not work in Odessa. Looking for ways to make this movie this year.
"I'm disappointed in TV"
- Which of the new films from Russian colleagues did you like in the past year? Everyone praises Arrhythmia.
I watched both "Arrhythmia" and "Dislike". The films are of very high quality. Certainly gloomy. Good movie about harsh reality. Speaking frankly about today's time, we have more problems than joys. Scary tale with Ukraine is unnatural from the point of view of everything: politics, geography, and kinship relations between the Russian and Ukrainian peoples. It even affected me. Because of my interview on Silver Rain, in which I said that it doesn’t matter whose Crimea it is, but it’s important that people live better, I became banned from entering Ukraine.
- You were in a solid company.
More than. They don't need Mikhalkov, Govorukhin, Raikin, Bashmet. These bans can only be imposed by crazy people. Who are they hurting? To his people. I do not undertake to comment on what I do not understand, but I think that this whole situation will not be resolved quickly. And it's very frustrating.
- On TV you appear rarely and selectively. Have you been ill with television or do they offer nothing worthwhile?
The question is rather revealing not me, but today's television. Seriously and Hamburg account, then I'm relatively disappointed in today's television. Regardless of whether the program belongs to a particular channel. All programs are replicated, identical, politicized, ideologically directed. I don't know how to deal with it. I'm not interested in television and I'm not interested in ratings that are based on cheap morally dubious things (who owes whom and how much, who lives with whom, etc.). The viewer has been so spoiled over the past 20 years that he does not perceive anything else. It's not my wardrobe, it's not my aesthetic. I myself most often watch the Culture channel, they speak a language that I understand, and I want my grandchildren to speak this language. I am often offered to lead various projects, but they do not suit me. If an idea of a program interesting for me was born, then I would be happy to lead it. So far there is no such idea.
Killing a dog is a step towards killing a person
You actively participated in the preparation of the Responsible Animal Care Act. Has the case moved forward?
For the past six months, I have been at all meetings in the government, the State Duma, the Federation Council, where work was underway on this law. It applies to all areas of relationships with animals, from animal husbandry to hunting. I worked on the part of the law that concerns stray animals, mainly dogs and cats (Leonid Yarmolnik is the chairman of the board of trustees of the International Animal Charitable Foundation “Giving Hope”, his daughter Alexandra is a co-founder of the foundation). I have been dealing with this issue for 20 years. The law is ready. The prospects for acceptance are good, as we are now in a busy pre-election period. There are many supporters and opponents. The state spends a lot of money on settling the issues of homeless animals - chipping, sterilization, registration of dogs. Spending this money for nimble, enterprising people becomes a form of business and profit: they launder money, shift it from one pocket to another, steal. These people don't want to change anything, so they do stuff on the Internet, trying to set up public opinion against the adoption of the law. A lot has been invented, I stand only for the adoption of this law. Today, if a person kills a dog on the street, he cannot even be taken to the police. I believe that killing a dog is a kind of step towards killing a person. Therefore, according to the law, large fines will have to be paid for this, so that it is disrespectful. Otherwise, we will not educate the next generation. I think that this law should also be adopted so that the majority of people who treat animals the way I do, go to the polls with gratitude.
FAMILY MATTERS
“The daughter never trumped her last name”
- In raising children leading role family is playing. Do you agree?
Undoubtedly. I have been asked many times in my life: how did you raise such a wonderful, kind daughter? I answered: “In my opinion, I never taught her anything ... To say what is good and what is bad is not very effective. You have to see life. Sasha saw how we live, who comes to us, heard what we are talking about. And she grew up an honest, decent, mentally subtle person. She never trumped her surname, did not want a special relationship with herself. Starting from childhood, getting acquainted, it seemed simply: “Sasha”.
- Choose which cartoons to show to your grandson?
There are cartoons and films that I will show him. But there is no escape from technology today. At the age of one and a half, Petya could press the necessary button on the iPad to select and turn on the cartoon. I always worry when he is busy with electronic devices longer than the allowed time. I explain that my eyesight can deteriorate, showing my glasses. We are trying to read more books.
Then Yarmolnik and Fomenko came to Latvia, went on the radio and talked about what a terrible and stupid cattle lives in Russia. Quietly and, apparently, out of habit, they signed for all of us in savagery and barbarism before the civilized Balts. And it’s not even that most of what was said from the 30th minute, when it came to politics and art, just sounds delusional and has nothing to do with reality - the tone itself and undisguised contempt for Russia and Russian citizens are important
For example, Yarmolnik in a blue eye claims that 90% of Krymnash supporters, that is, the majority of the Russian people, will not be able to find Crimea on a geographical map. And all the supporters of traditional values that criticize contemporary art will not name 3-4 paintings by Vasnetsov, Repin, Perov ... It's good that at least Serov was not mentioned - he would have sat in a puddle, given the recent queues for his exhibition in the Tretyakov Gallery. You don’t even need to refute such statements - it’s about open contempt and disrespect for the majority of your compatriots
The once good humorist Fomenko went even further, saying that "we got into civilization recently and by accident," which means that we should not care about the opinion of the barbarian majority about the behavior of the enlightened minority. From his semi-delusional logic, it turns out that Makarevich has the right to a free opinion, and everyone else should shut up. He literally says: they say, we need to take away their phones, where they write statements to the police (sitting on the toilet, Yarmolnik adds), and let them sit in a stinking line "near the homeless" and try to write appeals by hand, as it should be cattle. When asked by the hosts that most people have such a position, Fomenko replies that we have no position - otherwise we would have already stood in the squares or smashed half of Paris like French students.
Highly revealing arguments of representatives of our bohemia, given the earlier proposed by Yampolskaya the conclusion of an agreement between cultural figures and society on the coordination of each other's interests under the supervision of the state. What and how can you negotiate with this kind of mankurts, who despise compatriots and consider us all undeveloped savages in the form of a down from "our rush" swearing while sitting on the couch? How to reach a compromise of a narcissistic minority without conscience and honor, despising the people, with the same people? What can be true art without love for the cause and the viewer, for one's Motherland? Is it possible to talk about the revival of Russian culture, or at least an end to the degradation of mass culture, when its leaders openly hate those with whom they were born in the same country?
Actors and showmen Leonid Yarmolnik and Nikolai Fomenko made a splash in the Runet space. True, this is not about a new performance or concert, but about their participation in the transfer of the Russian-language Latvian Radio Baltcom.
The program, in which Yarmolnik and Fomenko took part, is called "Met - talked." In Latvia, the artists presented their performance "And again with the coming", but the greatest interest the audience was evoked not by a story about him, but by the answers of Yarmolnik and Fomenko to journalists' questions about the political and cultural life Russia.
Transition to difficult questions the journalist carried out through the topic of KVN, asking Yarmolnik, who for a long time was on the jury of this program: “Is KVN alive?” At the same time, the presenter compared KVN with Gorky, who "before returning to the USSR argued with Lenin”, and then became part of the Soviet propaganda machine.
“We are all getting old, including Alexander Vasilyevich”
“I think that KVN has become the same program as everyone else,” Yarmolnik replied. “They joke the way they need to, they joke when it’s needed, and in the perspective in which it is accepted ... I left KVN three years ago, and that’s it.”
“Maybe it has to do with the fact that we are all getting older, including Alexander Vasilievich- continued Yarmolnik. “And the desire, let’s say, to please the authorities, is very great, and it was because of this that we broke up.”
Fomenko, speaking about those who play today in KVN, suggested that young people think differently: “Lenin ruled our state, us and you for 70 years, and now ask: “Who is this?” And nobody knows. Nobody at all. Even in the Kremlin they ask: who is this? I'm not talking about Lenin. Yeltsin, Gorbachev it's already yesterday."
“It is difficult for the Russians. The civilization of the world has collapsed on them.”
But, as they say in KVN, it was only a warm-up. Further on the air was getting hotter and hotter.
Talk about censorship and protests against some exhibitions allowed Nikolai Fomenko to express his attitude towards cultural level modern Russians.
“It is very difficult for the Russians. Over the last ten years they have been attacked world civilization the showman said. - The Germans have been together with Mercedes for 110 years, they grew up with it ... And here it has only been 10 years since it hit a person: he can buy a car, he can go abroad. Cars, televisions, electronics... He never had it, he doesn't know anything about it. Of course, he slowly goes crazy. Therefore, he runs, puts pigs in, spits, throws something ... This is their opinion and understanding. There are more crazy people. And these crazy people are sometimes in those places that are trying to manage the culture.
“Those who yell vulgarity at Makarevich go to drink in the evening to his songs”
From this topic, the conversation turned to Andrei Makarevich, whose position on the annexation of Crimea and the war in Ukraine caused mixed assessments in Russia, to put it mildly.
“You can scold Makarevich, call him anything you like, but those who yell and say vulgar things about Andrei (who has the right to any opinion, since this is freedom of speech), those who lash out, then put down the phone, go to drink in the evening, take a guitar and begin to sing “I drink to the bottom for those who are in the sea,” Fomenko said.
The journalist suggested that, perhaps, Makarevich offended some fans with his position, but Fomenko dismissed this possibility from the threshold: “Do not take this seriously. There is no position. If there was a position, everyone would stand on the square.
“These are vulgar people who pull the blanket, they want to be noticed,” Yarmolnik supported his colleague. - I think if the question concerns Crimea, 90 percent of them will not explain to you by geography where Crimea is. I guarantee you."
“We got into civilization recently and by accident”
“We got into civilization recently and by accident,” Fomenko complained, noting that “in England, TV is watched from generation to generation, and in Russia, young people do not know what is on it.”
At the end of the program, the intensity of passions somewhat decreased, the conversation returned to the topic of creativity, however, as they say, the train had already left.
The statements of Fomenko and Yarmolnik spread across the Runet, evoking directly opposite emotions.
Some praised the artists for their bold statement own position, others considered their words a demonstration of disrespect for the citizens of their own country.
“All our words were taken out of context”
The artists themselves do not want to comment on what happened.
“You are the twenty-fifth person today who asks me this question. I want to say that everything was distorted in this article, all our words were taken out of context, we were talking about something completely different, ”Yarmolnik told the Vzglyad portal.
Fomenko was even less talkative: “Sorry, I strangers, especially journalists, I don’t talk on the phone.”
At the same time, it should be noted that the position of Leonid Yarmolnik regarding Crimea, at least judging by his statements in public space, categorically disagrees with the opinion of his friend Andrey Makarevich.
“I think that Eastern Ukraine is ready and wants to be with Russia”
In March 2014, on the air of the Dozhd TV channel, Yarmolnik said: “I think that Eastern Ukraine is ready and wants to be with Russia. Crimea... I would be happy, I would correct the mistake Khrushchev, because it was some kind of lordly, stupid game when Crimea was given to Ukraine. These are still primordially Russian lands. And they will be better, and we will be calmer.” Speaking of Western Ukraine, Yarmolnik said: “Special people live there, whom, no matter what we do - I mean Russia and Moscow - we will never be able to appease them and will never be able to explain to them that equal treatment of them, as to others who are with lives near us. These are special people, a special character, a special tradition of passing this gene from generation to generation. I don’t know where it came from, but I remember exactly that when I was studying, I was already an adult, I didn’t understand this hatred and hostility, I didn’t understand its nature. It should be noted here that childhood school years artist were held in Lviv. “I fought many times, and one of the first nose fractures was also connected with this, there, in Ukraine, because there are Muscovites, Jews, Negroes. I have a guy who studied at the Polytechnic Institute, black (he looked after local girl) were torn on birch trees on a high castle, as in the Middle Ages, ”the artist recalled about his Lviv youth.
In the same March 2014, together with others, he signed an appeal in defense Russian musician Andrei Makarevich, who criticized the policy Russian authorities in Ukraine.
Who is entitled to an opinion?
If we talk about the statements of Yarmolnik and Fomenko on the air of Radio Baltcom, then they certainly have the right to own opinion. Surprise may cause something else: the confidence of the actors that the opinion creative intelligentsia a priori higher than views ordinary people. And how is an aggressive Orthodox activist pouring urine on an exhibit different from an artist nailing his scrotum to the cobblestones of Red Square? In this case, the first one is declared creative elite a bully and obscurantist, and the second - a progressive artist.
I was also hooked by the fact that the bold statements of Yarmolnik and Fomenko sounded on the air, albeit a Russian-speaking, but still foreign radio station. It would be more logical to speak out on these most important and sensitive topics in the Russian media. However, as mentioned above, the artists show no desire to communicate with Russian journalists.
So that you, dear readers, do not get the wrong impression, you can familiarize yourself with the full version of the program, the video of which is available on Youtube. Read and draw your own conclusions without relying on someone else's opinion.
Yarmolnik and Fomenko came to Latvia, went on the radio and talked about who lives in Russia. For example, Yarmolnik was sure that 90% of Krymnash supporters, that is, the majority of the Russian people, would not be able to find Crimea on a geographical map. And all the supporters of traditional values who criticize contemporary art will not name 3-4 paintings by Vasnetsov, Repin, Perov...
Later Yarmolnik started to apologize and told the Vzglyad newspaper - they say, "our words were distorted, I don’t know why the media representatives always present our words differently than they were said." Nikolai Fomenko completely ran away from contact with the press and said, "Sorry, I I don't talk on the phone with strangers, especially journalists."
In 2013, he received a residence permit in Latvia, the quote “I will tell you a secret, I am almost a citizen of Latvia. I have a residence permit. I recently received it, and I am very proud of it,” and Latvian real estate is listed in my wife’s declaration.http://perebezhchik.ru/slukhi/921.html
In March 2014, together with others, he signed an appeal in defense of the Russian musician Andrei Makarevich, who criticized the policy of the Russian authorities in Ukraine. Prokhorov, Yarmolnik and Roizman defended Makarevich
In May 2007, Yarmolnik assaulted photojournalist Marat Saichenko (in May 2014, Saichenko was awarded by Putin Order of Courage for work in Ukraine). In April 2016, he attacked journalists with his fists at the exit of the restaurant after the celebration of the birthday of Alla Pugacheva and broke the viewfinder of the video camera of the operator of the NTV television company. In addition, Yarmolnik admitted that in the 1980s he had already broken a camera to a journalist from Komsomolskaya Pravda.
Wherein:
- After the collapse Soviet Union in the 90s, Leonid Yarmolnik financially supported famous Soviet film actors who were on the verge of poverty. Monthly sending to their address for 200 US dollars.
In March 2014, he supported the annexation of Crimea to Russia, calling it primordially Russian land. In the same interview, he accused Western Ukrainians of xenophobia.
All in all, " creative person" V pure form. The attitude to citizenship is indicative, he took the Ukrainian one, made a deal, applied for the Latvian one - the whole world is a theater. Normal deeds and actions in life are also significant.
Given that he supported the annexation of Crimea, it is not clear why he said what he said at all. Apparently, the example of Makarevich and Akhedzhakova does not teach anything, but in vain.
