The leader of the Prochrevsky motorcycle club "Night Wolves" Alexander Zaldostanov (surgeon) said he did not intend to abandon the words to the head of the Satyricon theater Konstantin Raikin, RBC reports . So the surgeon commented on the call of the press secretary of President Dmitry Peskov to apologize to Raikin.
“I don’t like these exhibitions, and I don’t refuse my words, and, moreover, I won’t be inactive. I will try to discourage the desire and the opportunity to insult faith, insult the icons and expose these pedophiles there. I don’t like it and I don’t agree with this. I will fight that we don’t have this in our country,” the surgeon said.
On Monday, speaking at the seventh congress of the Union of Theater Workers of Russia, Raikin called "an ugly encroachment on the freedom of creativity" Closing a number of performances and exhibitions. The artist announced the repeated "raids for art." He expressed concern in that the authorities neutrally behave in relation to "groups of allegedly offended people who close the performances, close exhibitions, brazenly behave very much."
“The devil always seduces freedom. And under the guise of freedom, these Raikins want to turn the country into a waste ditch, through which sewage would flow,” the surgeon reacted to these words.
On Thursday, Peskov called on the surgeon to apologize for the sharp statements to the artist. “We treat Raikin’s huge talent with endless respect, and I believe that the demon was just the same of the motorcyclist, who insulted him. I hope he apologizes,” Peskov said.
At the same time, the spokesman called on Raikin himself to bring specific facts of the use of censorship in his theater. “But I want Konstantin Raikin to call at least one case when someone tried to impose or ban something to him. And then we will return to the beginning of this discussion. I would like to say that“ I was forbidden to do this in Satyricon or this or this. ”Then it will be a discussion, really based on something,” Peskov remarked.
