Author of quotes: Karen Georgievich Shakhnazarov

In my opinion the main. Lenin from a very pragmatic Western ideas - Marxism (this is a very pragmatic Western economic theory) made religious movement. It was very Russian. That's why he took over the country and the world. In essence, it's an idea that hovers in the air, and is constantly present - to create the Kingdom of heaven on earth. Yes, it is in this sense lost, as well as any prophet. This is the fate of prophets. And it is clear that in recent years (this is known) he felt that it all has to go in a different direction. So this world is arranged. But still his ideas are entered, they exist. And most importantly - no one knows how it will end. Christianity for centuries had earned their place. Still not a complete story. The idea itself is just peace on earth is not dying.

- Read a new book. Recommend. One Woodward. It Is Called "Fear". The person who is in a close narrow circle trump. There is a Preface that he still sympathizes with the Democrats. Well, let sympathizes. But if even fifty percent of what he writes is true, then in principle it's a mess. In the administration of the trump mess. I was particularly amused by such passages. Discusses the question of the imposition of duties on antibiotics. Trump wants to enter. He said: look, if we introduce tariffs on antibiotics, you are depriving Americans of penicillin, because it turns out America does not produce anything. It turns out that antibiotics are not made in America. They all have taken a long time abroad, and that Americans consume... It is written by a person who is in the American government. Second. It turns out the main opponents of the duties on American steel - American car company. Because they are a major consumer of American steel. I have already said that it is a clone of the Soviet perestroika, what was happening in the bowels of the Soviet system, especially after 1989. <...> The government absolutely does not control the situation. I have a feeling that the same thing happens in the US. <...> There is a situation in which the financial oligarchy, the financial globalists are in conflict with the real America. Which is trump. As we have in the time of Gorbachev. He feels that change is needed. When he came, he was fully supported by the Soviet people. Everyone wanted these changes. But the question was, what was not clear, and no one knew how to do them. Same thing with trump.
- It is necessary Chubais to send. He wasn't sure what to do, but will bring the matter before the tsugunder. Put the final nail in the capitalism.
America is a country with a huge nuclear power. And chaos within the political system, of course, is a danger. Because nobody knows where it will end.

Sovietism, it inevitably leads to a justification of Nazism. It can lead to the justification of Nazism, for one simple reason - because, actually, the whole Nazism was pointed on the fight with the Communists. And, by the way, the "Jewish question" in the interpretation of the Nazis, he was associated with the fact that Jews are, in fact, are the media, leftist ideas.

Why it is not clear what our political system? Clear. Republic. Why not clear our device? That's capitalism. Why do not understand our ideology? This liberalism. Ask any American what is the essence of liberalism. This is the freedom, the weapon, want to do what you want. It is individualism plus maximum freedom. Russia is not accepted. The majority of Russians still tend to Soviet ideology. She's so educated. Hence the popularity of the Soviet Union Soviet films.
To the question about ideology and liberalism. I'm not sure that artists can develop an ideology. The ideology of Bolshevism came from a group of people. But they were so infected it, so passionate... and the Eternal ideology in Russia has always been - to survive. To preserve ourselves. For centuries, if you look at the history of Russia, always had the task - to preserve ourselves. Hence the idea of Empire is here - Soviet modernization. It is the same now. To preserve ourselves - that is our ideology.

About ideological confrontation. Between ancient Rome and Carthage no ideological confrontation was not in fact. This did not prevent them to fight to the complete destruction of Carthage. The fight is not always accompanied by the presence or absence of principle any social ideas.

Thought N. V. Zlobina that everyone has their own truth, is extremely dangerous. It defeats the whole our life. Strictly speaking, well, Hitler, too, has its own truth. Truth is a category in which one can only believe. There is one truth that exists apart from us. It is objective. The meaning of human life - the desire to know the truth. This is the meaning of art. Here is a photographic portrait of man and portrait art. If the artist is talented, his portrait is more accurate than the photo. Although it seems that the photograph is a document.
I worked a lot with the memories. I realized that people tend not to remember, to lie, to present themselves much better than they really are.

Stay at the Zenith - pretty nice condition. But it has one big disadvantage. After him there is no longer the way up. Only down. And the speed issue - either fall or go down.

Of course, Mikhail Gorbachev - not a tragic figure. <...> Mikhail made a lot of mistakes. Of course, we can agree, he probably did not correspond to the status of the head of this country. But friends, the point is still that this system is put forward then. This system differently hasn't worked - that's the point. And I remember the party committees, no one was going to work, we at "Mosfilm" worked a third of all film Directors, because nobody wanted to have... <...> Well, Putin would not have come to power ever at the time! <...> These people couldn't come! This was the problem of the Soviet Union. <...> We do about the future, I think, not about the past in this sense - or Empire continues to fall and this is just such a surge some, like the ill - improvement of state of health (called remission), or we still recoverable really great country, the great Eurasia. Us, the most important thing to understand - our system is capable charismatic people to power lead?

The problem of nationalism. Nationalism is terribly stupid. Any nationalism, that the Ukrainian, the Georgian, which, by the way, Russian. He's terribly limited. &lt;...&gt; He can't jump over the frame... Common sense is unknown to him. Those nation who suffer from nationalism, they always lose.

When you know the historical events of such magnitude as the fall of an Empire, revolution, they all turn about the same scenario.

- I believe that trump is the start of the American perestroika. He's the equivalent of Yeltsin. Of course this will not directly...
- Yeltsin and Gorbachev together in one bottle. [remark by Dmitry Kulikov]
- Well, let's say, though by nature he is more like Boris Yeltsin, but in principle, it is the same mission it performs in relation to the American Empire, it is, generally, it destroys. &lt;...&gt; In this case, I think it's just a normal historical process. &lt;...&gt; Certainly the Western world have to go this route, because he left one opponent left! &lt;...&gt; Now there China. For America, China is a competitor, a rival, but for Western Europe it is not a competitor. Why they should in this sense be unified? Here he starts to naturally break down. This process, in my opinion, irreversible. &lt;...&gt; Destruction of the American Empire is, in principle, the process proper to the whole world, including America, because it gives a chance for the world to move from this endless confrontation to create more Dorm right on this planet.

I'm not very advanced, as there is in scientific ideology is described. I can tell you, as I imagine. For me the ideology is a worldview. Outlook on life if you want. I have an ideology. I'm depending on her to do certain things. Because of her I do so or so.&lt;...&gt; what is the difference between the Western view and the Russian. This relationship to God. In the West - God in me. I am God in principle, essentially. And in Russia, God is outside of me. This is a fundamental difference. And this God is outside of me, it... Not only that Islam is in General the Oriental view, Judaism.
And this is a fundamental difference. Because if God is in me, I moral set. Today I, Goebbels established his morality. And tomorrow another will establish morality. And if God is outside, it means morality exists outside of me. And so I had to figure it out, I have to strive for it. This is a fundamental difference.

I understand that Russian business is very Patriotic, especially this feeling arises when the budget money should be divided...

Today, individuals are becoming less. I attributed this to the fact that they consume approximately the same information, some images one style. And people, especially young people, as if they were growing... such as the smooth grass. And here, by the way, the policy will move on. You will see what happens... And where politics? Where's the personality? You say, here I am "proputinets"... And I'll tell you, and you find... Well, Putin is a figure, a person! You know? At least he's a person! Here you don't like, and he is a person. And, strictly speaking, what we see next? That's where they are? &lt;...&gt; Where in the modern political life of Russia, in General, the individual? &lt;...&gt; Yes, it's impossible to clean if they are. If they are, they appear, and with this you will not do anything. &lt;...&gt;
[audience question: If You weren't a confidant of Putin's who You like better from the other candidates?]
I just don't see any even close. Excuse me, not because I am a Trustee. &lt;...&gt; I'm a filmmaker. So I imagine the New year and I will congratulate Kseniya Anatolyevna Sobchak. [laughter] I think not. Or is there, Mr. suraykin... well too I think, well, no... in the background of the Kremlin. You know? And here I put them all, and that Vladimir Vladimirovich as it looks in this picture.
