Konstantin Arkadevich Raikin. (№ 275401)

These assaults on the arts, theater in particular. These completely lawless, extremist, arrogant, aggressive, hiding behind words about morality, about morality, and all sorts of, so to speak, good and high with the words: "patriotism", "homeland" and "high morals" - these groups allegedly offended people who are close plays, close the show, very arrogantly behaving that strangely neutral power, distanciruemsa. I think that is an outrageous infringement on the freedom of creativity, the ban on censorship. And the prohibition of censorship - I think this is the greatest event of the age-old values in our life, in the artistic, the spiritual life of our country. <...> ... we are talking with our bosses directly in this lexicon Stalin, including Stalin's policies they just don't believe this! Say the authorities, my supervisors, Mr Aristarkhov talking so. <...> We sit and listen to it. <...> But it is bad. The important thing is that there is such a nasty manner - rivet and Snitch on each other. I think this is now unacceptable! Solidarity prevailed, as my dad taught, obliges each of us, the theater artist Lee, Director Li, is not to speak to the media badly about each other. <...> A creative disagreement, resentment is normal. But when we fill these Newspapers and magazines, and the television is on hand just to our enemies, that is, those who want to bend the art to the interests of the government.
