State Duma deputy Natalya Poklonskaya asks to check the film by Alexei Teacher "Matilda" about the relations of the Russian Emperor Nicholas II and the ballerina Matilda Kshesinskaya. It is reported by Life.ru.
With a denunciation of the deputy, activists of the public movement "Tsarist Cross" turned to the deputy. They consider the film "anti -Russian and anti -religious provocation in the field of culture." Poklonskaya replied that she made a deputy request in order to check "all the figures who created this film."
The teacher himself considers any claims to the picture unreasonable, since no one has yet seen the film in the final version, so the claims of activists are unfounded. "Let them check. The fact is that the film is being done yet, no one saw it, including the figures who wrote Poklonskaya. The insomnia write, let Poklonskaya check. Firstly, we were already checked and the prosecutor’s office already wrote to all these organizations that everything is in order. We have no rental certificate, because I do not want to comment on any stupid things, let us go much, let us go much. Read Raikin (the head of the contemporary theater Konstantin Raikin. - Ed.) On this topic .
"Matilda" tells about the love story of Nicholas II and Kshesinskaya. Their acquaintance took place before the emperor ascended the throne. Filming is almost completed. The budget of the picture is 705 million rubles, of which 130 million were issued by the State Film Foundation. The release of the film on the screens is dedicated to the anniversary of the February Revolution.
In June, Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky at a plenary meeting of the All-Russian Historical Assembly said that the fight against the falsification of the history of Russia is still relevant , since this is "the struggle for human souls." "We are constantly talking about the importance of historical knowledge in civilian education. And today, history is also a tense front of the struggle for human souls. At one time I worked in the commission of countering the falsifications of history. And what conclusion I am now coming to the stout. They are breeding faster than we expose this lie," Medinsky said.
"You will only explain the Molotov -Ribbentrop Pact, and they already flee to you with Kutuzov - they say, he didn’t fight, not so Napoleon defeated, and did not win at all. You’ll explain Kutuzov - look, Panfilovs count: it was 28 of them - it means that there were no German tanks. And Hitler, and we took Moscow today and today, and we took Moscow. We only have any ourselves.
According to Medinsky, the falsification of history is based on two reasons. “Firstly, this is a reflection of the obvious political interests of specific players. After all, the story is a policy turned into the past, no one canceled this rule. We cannot cancel the objective interests of our opponents - at least this is outside the competence of historians or cultural workers,” the minister said.
The second reason, the minister considers "the vulnerability of our society for such speculation, distortion, crafty interpretations and myths about itself."
