"Vedomosti": representatives of the cultural elite refuse to join the "right business"

The Party "Right Business" has great difficulties with filling the election lists. According to Vedomosti, there are no recognizable people in draft versions, and therefore, instead of the first three, it is planned to make a “ten”. The first lists of lists in two of the four Moscow districts and in St. Petersburg are not defined. According to the head of the club of regional journalism, Irina Yasina, who refused to run from the party in Moscow, there is no one in the list of television journalist Alexander Lyubimov.

At party meetings, the need to attract celebrities in party lists - athletes, actors, directors, writers, says a member of the political council Boris Nadezhdin. According to him, it was "not about the mass culture, but about the intellectual elite, which would not cause irritation among young people and the intelligentsia." Actors Chulpan Khamatova and Evgeny Mironov diplomatically referred to the principal non -partisan, one of the interlocutors of the publication said. Among the nominees were writers Tatyana Tolstaya and Lyudmila Ulitskaya. As the source of the publication said, it is impossible to imagine the participation of Tolstoy in the project of Prokhorov, since she sympathized with the parties of Anatoly Chubais. Ulitskaya, too, will not be on the lists, she was invited to the congress as a “supporter”.

Consent to participate from cultural figures was given only by director Pavel Lungin. He will most likely be in the Ten. Director Valery Todorovsky and actor Leonid Yarmolnik limited themselves to the "sympathy of the party" without functional binding to party activities, the press service employee said. A source in the party also announced the refusal of musician Yuri Shevchuk. The writer Georgy Chkhartishvili (Boris Akunin) refused in a categorical form. Akunin refused to comment on the situation, and his wife said that Akunin did not communicate with the party leader Mikhail Prokhorov.

In addition, the musician Vyacheslav Butusov and writer Dmitry Bykov were discussed as possible party members. Butusov says that he had never received such an offer. " And Bykov said that the idea of ​​attracting it would not have prospects, he considers voting to be profanity and is looking for a technical way to oppose everyone.

On September 6, the leader of the “right -hand business” Mikhail Prokhorov said that he would invite Alla Pugachev to the party. “I deeply respect Alla Borisovna. This is a very strong, independent and unusually talented person. It is such people, in my deep conviction, should form the basis of our party,” Prokhorov said. “She accurately understands the problems of our women who are forced to burst between birth, raising children and making money, often alone, without any support from our state. I just wanted a strong woman to appear in the party who could take the topic of protecting the rights of women,” Prokhorov added.

The readiness to join the “right business”, if Prokhorov invites, Pugacheva said in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda. “If he calls, I’ll go,” she said. According to Pugacheva, "finally appeared a real man who is ready to do something for the country."

Businessman Mikhail Prokhorov headed the party at the end of June 2011. He stated that the “right business” would strive to become the “second party in power” and enter the parliament. Prokhorov also spoke about the need to increase social expanses and reduce the defense budget, change the infrastructure of the economy and the country's management system, cancel the institution of the embassy, ​​give great powers to the regions, and restore the elections of mayors of cities, including Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Last Sunday, Prokhorov called reporters the names of some members of the “shadow government” - the cabinet of ministers, which the leader of the “right -handed business” intends to form if the party comes to power. According to Prokhorov, the Minister of Energy in this government will be the ex -President of CJSC "Integrated Energy Systems" Mikhail Slobodin, the Minister of Health - the creator of the Pharmacy network "36.6" Artem Bektemirov, the Minister of Sports - a swimmer, four -time Olympic champion Alexander Popov, the Minister of Finance - previously headed "Rosbank" and other major financial structures Evgeny Ivanov. The Minister of Culture is the director of the library of foreign literature Ekaterina Genieva, and the "Minister of the Media" is the creator of the VID television company Alexander Lyubimov. He plans to lead the “shadow government” of the “right -handed business” personally.
