Ramzan Kadyrov also opposed Matilda.
This happened a long time ago, two months ago nearly, but the letter on a given topic was published only now, and you can only guess about why it was hidden from the people for so long. There is no need to guess about is the reasons that prompted the Chechen national leader to turn to Medinsky with a request to exclude the Czech Republic from the rental certificate for showing the film. Actually, Ramzan Akhmatovich himself calls them: deliberate mockery of the feelings of believers, insulting their religious feelings and humiliation of human dignity, as well as the desecration of shrines and centuries -old history of the peoples of Russia . The reasons cannot be recognized as good.
It is also clear that after the publication of a letter from Grozny in the famous metropolitan tabloid, the alignment of forces on the battlefield, where the supporters and opponents of Matilda, changed. For Kadyrov is not a Poklonskaya, not temperamental believers from the Tsarist Cross movement, threatening to betray the cinema to the fire, and not even Archpriest Chaplin, who promised Russia death as a retribution for the God -dimensional blockbuster. And although Ramzan Akhmatovich himself recently pulled a political scientist Pavlovsky, who called him "one of the main contenders for a control package" in the Kremlin, people who know hardly believed the young leader. Unless they appreciated his personal modesty. He will change Kadyrov Putin or not change, a place near the throne, he occupies a very noticeable one.
The confused tone of the letter addressed to the Minister of Culture also should not mislead anyone. Well, yes, it can be concluded from the text that one of the main acts of Tsar Nikolai, slandered by the director, was the creation of a Caucasian "wild division", but it is not necessary to be surprised. Kadyrov with his speaker always writes so: inconsistently, but sincerely. And local exotic gives the messages of Ramzan Akhmatovich that unique color that has a special effect on the reader. The “Wild Division”, shaitans, mongrels and other, as he loves to express himself, rhetoric on the move convinces the reader that the head of the Chechen administration is excited and the topic that he touches, seriously bothers him.
Much more important than another.
Until now, they performed apart. Poklonskaya with her offended believers, including Chaplin, and Kadyrov with theologians. The Crimean woman defended the honor, dignity and business reputation of the canonized saint, and the Chechen authorities, secular and spiritual, promised "retribution without a statute of limitations" to the journalists who encroached on regional scrapers, and it had already been written about how excellent they complemented each other - indifferent citizens in Chechnya and the rest of Russia. Now, after the publication of a letter in the tabloid, they went a united front.
In the capital against the teacher, crowds of football fans elevate their votes . In the Crimea, the deputy prosecutor of Simferopol sends a warning to cinemas in order to disrupt the demonstration of the Matilda advertising trailers. And now Kadyrov, albeit late, notified compatriots that it was time to educate the young generation in the spirit of respect for their history and put in the place of the presumptuous film director. And if so far the story with the dancer has caused a laughter or bewilderment in the scandal and ordinary spectators, then from now on it is overlord.
The Ministry of Culture reaction to a document signed by Ramzan Akhmatovich is cautious, reasonable, restrained. The letter, they say, was received, we will take into account the point of view of Kadyrov, he is in his right. By the way, in a similar way, setting an example for officials and cultural figures, President Putin reacted when the teacher asked to protect him from Poklonskaya. However, then, before the trend in the trend of the fighters of the "wild division" with their implacable attitude to the deseches of the shrines, it could be assumed that the film about the last Russian king would certainly be released. As for Poklonskaya and her army, they will be allowed to protest, but within the framework of the law, that is, without criminalism. Yesterday the situation has changed dramatically.
In the best, for lovers of costumed blockbusters, the case of cinema will be shown in the capital and some of the regions especially tolerant of the feelings of normal people, although there will not be without prayer standing and other protests. And in the worst case, “Matilda” will have to be shown on closed and half -closed views, like our seditious and foreign films with mature socialism, and considerable officials spent on shooting will never be able to recoup. However, in those fabulous years, it was not customary to save on ideology, and it seems that the plot is repeated. With that only a little, like a difference, that then they did not save on Andrei Rublev icons in the Tarkovsky film, and now a scandalous figure becomes a king, who was killed by the Bolsheviks and on the mountain to the Kino to the saints. Since censorship was triumphed then, connected with generosity in the squandering of state money, and now he can triumph.
True, this time according to the results of a tense discussion with the participation of the highest leaders of the state and civil society, which nevertheless distinguishes the current democratic era from the gloomy authoritarian. Is there a joke, Kadyrov and the Russian Orthodox Church against Matilda, the best, talented cultural figures for, the president observes neutrality, the king and the nuances of his biography are generally before the lantern. We are going through unique times, even with 1917 you can’t compare. You will compare partly with 1918 and involuntarily remember the red and white terror, the fate of the sovereign and his unfortunate country, for some reason about the "wild division", and you will breathe heavily.
