A treacherous tear

Mikhalkov "Ready to apologize." However, hopes do not lose "to be, if not understood, then at least heard." In the response open letter to Nain Yeltsina, he is justified , continuing to insist on his own. Nikita Sergeyevich believes that some unscrupulous people who use the Yeltsin Center to promote the ideas of "dubious historical content with dubious historical conclusions" are misleading the widow of the first president of the Russian Federation. As a result, the wrath of the Russians "completely unfairly falls on" on her "and to the memory of Boris Nikolaevich."

The director’s letter attracts touching stupidity and decentness. Unlike his previous speeches dedicated to Yeltsin, as well as Gorbachev, which struck evil stupidity and miserable shamelessness. There is clear progress, and this should be appreciated. Stamous for the living, Nikita Sergeyevich finally gathered his thoughts and somehow, or something, summarized his claims against the Yeltsin era and the museum dedicated to his former idol. Issued a list.

The list is impressive. Here is a quote from the Hakamad, which had the imprudence to compare the Yeltsin Center with the Museum of Tolerance and approve the "very hidden idea ... promotion of democracy" in Yekaterinburg. The polemic with Nikita Sokolov and Nikolai Svanidze, who "confuse the mind of the guys" with inadvertible judgments about General Vlasov and Tsar Ivan. Whereas Mikhalkov himself "fought, protecting the installation of the monument to Ivan the Terrible in the city of Orel." But most of all, the author of the Great War is of course wounded by accusations of betrayal , which sounded in a letter to Josephovna. The widow, following many other fans of the work of an indifferent citizen Mikhalkov, reminded him of how he “was a confidant of Boris Nikolayevich in the 1996 elections and then evaluated the reforms of the 90s and the contribution of the Yeltsin team to the construction of new Russia. Nikita Sergeyevich considered it necessary to explain.

It turned out that he "never refused and does not refuse a single moment of" his past. The director was sincere, and now curses from a pure heart. Just "at that moment", when he was exhausted from love for Yeltsin, "there was no alternative to Boris Nikolaevich." But the truth from Nikita Sergeyevich and millions of Russians hid in those terrible years, and only much later they managed to comprehend "the whole depth and tragedy of the situation in which the country will be."

Here, the shocked Nikita Sergeyevich presents the widow "sold out factories, and the ships sold for pennies, and the humiliated army, and impoverished the people, and destroyed science," and we, looking at the director, grab the head. It’s like he, a simple -minded person, lived until 1996, not knowing what small children knew then. That Judas Borukh Eltsin sold and destroyed everything, humiliated and wrapped everyone. It must have been the money itself tearfully cursed as a trustee, getting in the Kremlin, which is why it remained involuntarily to human walls.

But Boris Nikolaevich left, new times have come, and the miraculously preserved Mikhalkov began to gradually join the recent history of his state. Demanding the trial of Gorbachev and Yeltsin. Calling the "work" of the center in which the destruction of the national self -awareness of people occurs daily. " Pinging dead, as he once beaten his legs twisted.

Yesterday he also proposed to be sent to where they introduce the injection, "a team of professionals-historians, political scientists and specialists" so that they "analyze ... exhibits on the spot." It is possible, by the way, that the team will arrive and the adamant Nikita Sergeyevich will be headed, which has never been to the museum. So the governor calls him, and Mikhalkov is inclined to respond to this kind of invitation. However, the visit of a dear guest is unlikely to lead to the fact that the Yeltsin Center will replenish with new installations such as "Alexander III saves the son of Ivan the Terrible" or "Putin's authorized person consoles Yeltsin's authorized person."

And the point is not at all that the Kremlin agrees or disagree with the liberated director. The fact is that one of the most important words in the vocabulary of the current government is "legitimacy." Without realizing the sacred character of the museum built in Yekaterinburg, and by teaching a loyal scandal, Nikita Sergeyevich encroaches on the Holy.

For continuity is important for Putin. It is important to realize and spread among the masses of the very significant fact that he, the second president of Russia, is not some kind of muddy boss, the product of a Chekist special operation in the Kremlin (“Implementation has passed successfully”), but the heir legally elected by Yeltsin and the people. So in general centuries will bind out, and Prince Vladimir on the pedestal, through the centuries, holds out a hand to Vladimir Vladimirovich, and the whole history of the Russian one appears to be whole, and the great leaders form a certain grand pyramid that Putin crings. Do not believe - ask the Minister of Medinsky.

In this sense, the Yeltsin Center is very useful.

Along with the Mausoleum and monuments to Tsar Peter, Tsar Ivan, the Kings of Alexander, and the monuments of Stalin, who are still huddled somewhere in the backyards. Although, given the cyclic nature of Russian history, it can be assumed that someday the museum in Yekaterinburg will be replenished with another large exposition. The story about how Boris Nikolayevich was tearing Vladimir Vladimirovich. With documents and pictures, as well as the memories of eyewitnesses who survived and left the descendants hidden written evidence. This will be a wonderful stand, or even a whole hall in which inquisitive schoolchildren will become great for themselves to recognize the burning secrets of ancient post -Soviet times.

In particular, about the last years of Yeltsin in retirement. How he regretted choosing the successor, how he suffered from isolation, how he was afraid of wiretaps. However, something has already been made public, but it is unlikely that these texts will decorate the walls of the museum in the foreseeable time. However, someday they will decorate, so to speak.

Nikita Mikhalkov and his relationship with Boris Nikolayevich there, in the future Yeltsin Center, will also find a place. There is not even doubt - after all, a bright person, talented, memorable. And the trace in the biography of the first president left deep, and with the widow he was in correspondence, which not everyone could boast of. These letters will also surely be carefully conveyed to the offspring, and the great -grandchildren will read them, and Nikita Sergeyevich’s dream will be fulfilled. He will be understood and heard, and he will be given to him according to his merits, a truth -seeker. Actually, they are already giving up, and it was time to stop, but the artist is azarten, the role is not played out, and he will portray and say a lot of things.
