Strangers among strangers

Belinsky argued that "talent and folk talent are two different things."

No matter how you feel about the frantic Vissarion, it is aptly said.

It's been said for centuries.

Here is your opinion: why was Chulpan Khamatova sent to us?

I believe that Chulpan Khamatova was sent so that, by her example, anyone could make sure how unenviable the fate of a person who lost his homeland.

Khamatova gave already the second lengthy interview on the "hospitable" Latvian land.

However, if the debut was taken by Ekaterina Gordeeva and the conversation took place in a complimentary atmosphere, on mutual aspirations of a sherochka with a masher, now the quivering actress fell into the iron paws of one of the Latvian TV wardens.

And she, without ceremony, demonstrated who was the boss in the house.

Claims were rolled out to Khamatova: why doesn’t she conduct anti-Russian propaganda on social networks, doesn’t oppose Russia on a daily basis?

Poorly fulfills a piece of bread, in other words.

The position is undisguised and unsightly.

Her example is science to others.

Did you think you would live comfortably, and even engage in your favorite profession?

Naive.

Nobody needs you here.

You were taken in out of mercy.

And for this mercy, everyone is obliged to bow at the feet of the owners.

And the local aunt will lecture you.

Wanted freedom?

Genuine democracy?

Help yourself.

“It's not fair that I'm sitting in the studio, while others are in the basement ...” Exactly, those who left were not in the basement.

They are in the European hallway on a chest.

What a sad lot.

Even Sobchak Khamatova sympathized.

It is impossible, he says, to put pressure on creative people.

How many of them are now - both strangers in Russia and not their own there?

Get out, get out.

Compose fables, from which a person - okay, with a conscience, just with good taste - reduces his cheekbones.

Latvia is not Russia.

Latvia is small - and therefore with hypertrophied conceit.

Latvia is on the outskirts - and that is why it is full of complexes.

Latvia will not accept you for free, from the breadth of your soul: live.

Every day, every step, every breath will be billed.

In distress and resentment.

We must repent and betray, betray and repent, otherwise you will fall under the next purge of the unreliable.

“I never took the title of people's artist seriously,” Khamatova hurries up with excuses.

- This is some kind of nonsense, some kind of Soviet relic.

If they take it, I'll give it back.

They like to present me as a people's artist of Russia, but I always forbid it.

Lord, to what humiliation can a person be brought ...

The issue of titles - not awards, but deprivations - is a painful issue.

Calls to cut from the shoulder, to deprive of awards, and even citizenship, are heard louder and louder.

“The people are demanding,” they would say in certain times.

And by the way, they would tell the pure truth.

Shoulder methods never seemed to me acceptable in the interaction of the state with culture.

The sphere is delicate, it needs fine tools and an individual approach.

But if a person openly declares “I am indifferent, I don’t need”, then, perhaps, he himself will refuse?

Folk means beloved.

Folk means loving.

You can be indifferent to the title, the main thing is not to be indifferent to the people.
