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 (video at the end of the article).
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 from the 30th minute, when it came to politics and art, it just sounds crazy and has nothing to do with reality - the tone itself and the undisguised contempt for Russia and Russian citizens.
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?
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 With strangers, especially journalists, I don’t talk on the phone.”
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 Russian musician Andrei Makarevich, who criticized the policy 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.
Then Yarmolnik and Fomenko came to Latvia, went on the radio and talked about what a terrible and stupid cattle lives in Russia. Calmly 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.

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.

Yarmolnik and Fomenko about Russians, pigs and Crimea. An excerpt from an interview ... THEY ARE ABOUT US RUSSIANS, DEFINITELY THAT OUR RUSSIA IS THE MOST LITERATURE STATE .... AND WHAT PEOPLE WRITE TO THEM IN THE COMMENTS UNDER THIS VIDEO ....***** "Yarmolnik and Fomenko talked about "Russian cattle" on Latvian radio. meeting Russian actors Leonid Yarmolnik and Nikolai Fomenko were covered by the blogger Russian Boy on the air of the Latvian radio. Then Yarmolnik and Fomenko came to Latvia, went on the radio and talked about what a terrible and stupid cattle lives in Russia.

Two Jews are hindered by the Russian Orthodox Church. But the synagogue doesn't hinder them. Money for churches annoys them, but I'm annoyed by state funding for theaters and cinemas where these shitty actors play. Use this money for something And if Yarmolnik doesn't know where Crimea is, it doesn't mean that other Russians don't know it. Yarmolnik ****** well, about "they" and, apparently, "we", which are not "they" at all, but in themselves, also nishtyak, yes. Do you need a position? Well, what did he want, going to consultations with the Pendos ambassador, and entertaining the "warriors of light"?Since this is his position, then let him be responsible for his position. And then some kind of selective freedom of speech turns out - he can, but not about him.
