Nikita Mikhalkov visited Yeltsin Center and shared his impressions

A week ago, Nikita Mikhalkov was in the middle of a scandal. The illustrious director criticized the programs of Yeltsin Center, located in Yekaterinburg. The film director said that culture can not exist without history. At the same time, according to Mikhalkov, in the Yekaterinburg Center "injections" are daily carried out, destroying people's self-awareness.

It was not the first time that Nikita Mikhalkov had criticized what was going on at Yeltsin Center. The director is confident that the creators of the program influence young people who visit the Center, allowing themselves an "ideological interpretation" of history, rather than destroying the self-awareness of the youth.

The widow of Boris Yeltsin commented on the latest news and reacted sharply to Mikhalkov's words, calling them false. Naina Yeltsin reminded the director that at one time he supported her husband. In addition, the widow of the first president of Russia added that Mikhalkov had never been to the Yeltsin Center.

After visiting the "Yeltsin Center" Nikita Mikhalkov changed his mind to a more harsh

After the reproach Naina Yeltsin, Nikita Mikhalkov went to Yekaterinburg. The filmmaker visited Yeltsin Center, but this visit not only did not change his views on the problem, but only strengthened his opinion on the distortion of history by the organizers of the exposition.

Returning from Ekaterinburg, Mikhalkov said today that he changed his mind to a more rigid one: I'm sorry that I was not there before. If I visited the center earlier, I would have talked about this earlier and would have said even harder

During the visit to the exposition, Mikhalkov was outraged by the cartoon, which is shown at the very beginning of the excursion. The screen shows the history of Russia, the only rescuer of which was Boris Yeltsin. Nikita Mikhalkov is indignant with lies on the screen:

What kind of Russia in its historical past will the visitor see? For centuries, Russia has been bound by slavery, drenched in blood, enveloped in deception, betrayal, cowardice and incompetence, which has not won a single battle, and has not a single hero. And when the so-shown history of Russia in the finale of the cartoon is thrown at the feet of Boris Nikolaevich Yeltsin, who as an idol as a result remains the only figure that saved Russia from slavery worthy of respect, it's not only that a lie, but it's also a very bad memory service Boris Nikolayevich

Nikita Mikhalkov noted that all materials collected in the expositions belong to representatives of the liberal community, for whom personal freedom always belonged first, including the country's power, science, the state of life of the people and the independence of its own state.
