Nikita Mikhalkov told reporters about his creative plans.
According to the director, he plans to make a historical film about serfdom, for which three hundred million rubles have already been allocated from the budget.
"The Bolsheviks have done a terrible thing; They erased from the memory of the people our cultural heritage, the memories of all the good and bright that was in the Russian people, including the memory of serfdom. Restoring the historical truth is our task," the director said.
Mikhalkov recalled the outstanding spirituality of Russian peasants, emphasizing the love of the Russian people for the "firm hand":
"At the instigation of the Bolsheviks, they now think in Russia that serfdom was something like North American slavery. But this was by no means a relationship between a slave and a master, but between sons and a father. Many peasants did not want any "freedom". Yes, sometimes the landlord flogged the peasant; so also a father flogs his disobedient child."
The director also spoke about the true essence of serfdom and its significance for the people:
"After all, what was serfdom? Serfdom is patriotism enshrined on paper. Man was connected with his mother land not only by a sense of duty, but also by documents. Serfdom is the wisdom of the people, it is four hundred years of our history. And now, when I am offered to erase these four hundred years from our history, I say: "Brothers, what do you think, our ancestors were fools?"
"I am very glad that Putin is now reviving our historical memory," the director said. The law on registration is exactly what our people, who are torn from the roots, from the land, lack."
Conclusion: Mikhalkov's case is severe, it cannot be treated, the tongue is not washed ...
What's going on with their heads, huh?
