The well-known actress and TV presenter Yana Poplavskaya wrote on the social network a post "about a deceitful socially tolerant abomination", which collected 10 thousand likes and 2.5 thousand comments.
Yana Poplavskaya: "I am sick of naked asses and effeminate men who are shoved into me under the guise of high art." This caused a huge resonance: someone thanked the actress for the truth, someone dirtyly insulted and even threatened. "AiF" asked Yana Poplavskaya to comment on the situation.
Synonym for lies
- Everyone knows: the head is given to us in order to think. But, unfortunately, a huge number of people misuse it, without thinking about what is happening today.
The word that is very often used today is tolerance - not only do I dislike it, I hate it! It is with the help of this word that they play dirty games with the public consciousness and change reality. There is such a theory, "Overton's Window": it is a concept with the help of which even a highly moral society can be implanted with any idea in a very short time, completely changing social consciousness. I am not a demagogue, for many years I have been giving lectures for politicians, businessmen, students and ordinary people, teaching them lessons in speech psychology. The word is a highly effective weapon.
So, the word "tolerance" for me is the most terrible tool of manipulation. Under this word they drive everything. Tolerance today is a synonym for lying, blurring acute social and cultural issues. For example, nationalism is very often replaced by the concept of patriotism, and these are, as they say, “two big differences”. A terrible thing is happening: a destructive change in the concepts of good and evil, they are reversed - because of this, universal human guidelines are lost.
We live in a society where it is very convenient to tell a lie. And it turns out that very often politicians act like chameleons, this is world practice, and then the law is like a pivot: where you turned, it happened.
Promotional video:
Therefore, this "beautiful" word appeared, which replaces everything: tolerance. As soon as it is inconvenient to tell the truth, it is said: "We are tolerant." But in fact, this word makes a silent cattle out of society. Who starts to be afraid of everything. Someone will object to me: who knows how to live correctly? There is no such book where it is written. Actually there is. The Bible is called. For Muslims it is the Koran, for the Jews it is the Torah. These books contain absolutely clear rules and clear human laws.
To understand, one does not need to be seven spans in the forehead, one does not need to be a religious person. Yes, you can, after all, be a not very educated atheist to take and read these laws. These are universal laws of what is right and what is wrong. There may be many truths, but there is only one truth.
Honestly, I am not interested in the personal life of any human individual. In no case will I dare to "climb" into other people's bedrooms. What happens behind closed doors and suits two people - two - is their own business, their lives. What right do I have to give any assessments if people, whatever their orientation, do not demonstrate this in any way? But when it pours out in public, when it is covered by art and culture, then the question arises: why no one pays attention to this?
It is a myth that nothing can be censored. The life of any human society is regulated by law. This is a human law, a state law. Otherwise there would be anarchy.
Do you control them when you bring up your children? Control. You say from a young age: this is good, this is bad, you can behave this way, you cannot. You are guided by concepts taught by your parents. Because a person is not a solitary, but a social being. He needs society, he cannot imagine himself without it and cannot live alone, unless it is a hermit.
For example, when your child starts school, you will not allow him to watch or bring pornographic materials to the class: this is taboo !!! You will not allow your child to write obscene expressions in a school essay, and, as a censor, immediately cross them out. Because such words are again taboo. And there is no tolerance in you in such matters, right? Because there are laws of society, according to which this society lives.
But suddenly something has begun to change lately. Human beings gather, no matter what gender, and they think: how can we attract attention to ourselves?
And (lo and behold!) They come up with a brilliant idea: "And let's show our naked asses and even members all over the country - and we will be happy, we will have profit, and there will be a scandal." No sooner said than done.
Remember the recent scandal with the performance in the Hermitage, where actors stand on stage on bent knees in a low inclination and blow with their lips extended into a tube into each other's anus? Draw a picture? There are pictures on the internet …
I grew up in a theater environment. My father-stepfather Vladimir Viktorovich Aleksandrov, who raised me from the age of 4, worked with Yuri Petrovich Lyubimov all his adult life on Taganka, being his second director. My mother served at the Taganka Theater, and I, like other acting children, grew up behind the scenes, at the “red-hat” age I played in two very famous performances (The Exchange and Crossroads) and was side by side with the actors of the legendary theater … I don't think you can argue with me that Yuri Petrovich Lyubimov was a recognized genius on a global scale, he worked on virtually all the world's theater stages. But even under execution, Lyubimov would never have thought of taking off Vysotsky, Khmelnitsky, Zolotukhin and others like them, so that, for example, Vysotsky in the role of Hamlet would come out with naked genitals and say: "To be or not to be."
There was always scrap on Taganka! The people did not go to naked priests, not to the fact that the actors poured each other with kefir, milk, mud or slop, or performed an act of pseudo-defecation: when they sit on the stage and push. And they throw pseudo-shit into the hall. This is what is presented on Russian theater stages. Don't call it art. Do not. Art should be beautiful, accessible or not very, intellectual, but not disgustingly pathologically repulsive.
The theater stage is not a cesspool, it is not a needy. Even if you have not studied the history of theater, then I am sure you have heard about open-air theaters, which, for example, were in Germany. It was never passed off as art, it was entertainment for the crowd: bread and circuses! When they came out on stage, they farted and fared candles. The marginal crowd was delighted.
But it is quite another matter if we are talking about the Bolshoi Theater. The Bolshoi Theater is a litmus, it is the face of my Moscow, my country. I saw excerpts from the recording of the failed premiere of the ballet Nureyev. There are certainly talented things there, very interesting. But it doesn't interest me that Nureyev was an exhibitionist and homosexual. This is his personal business, his personal life. I'm not sure that Nureyev himself would like his personality to be presented in this way.
I am only interested in one thing: how this man, a true star, a famous dancer, with whom it is almost impossible to compete on the ballet stage, has become a world legend. Myths were composed about him, he was a man of extraordinary, crazy ability to work, who devoted himself to the profession: he lived it. And what he did in his bedroom does not interest me. I am not the Lord God to judge him.
Now let me switch from a professional to an ordinary person. During the general rehearsal on the central stage of the world-famous theater, a photograph of Nureyev, bought, as they say, for 300 thousand euros, appears before the viewer. Did you hear the amount? I can only assume that this photo was taken by him for one of his loved ones, let's say. It's no secret that women also send intimate photos to their beloved: these are human relationships, and there is nothing reprehensible in this.
In the bedroom, you are also not in shorts, bra, and do not behave there like a partisan. But you will not go to Red Square and engage in intercourse with your partner in order to call it art. Although why not, on the other hand, right? Do you know how many people will gather to look at you, while you are taken to the police and you will be soldered for indecent actions?
Why then can the genitals be shown on the main stage of the country? This is the dream of our childhood: to get into the Bolshoi. "I've been to the Bolshoi!" This was something unattainable at one time, they dressed up there in a certain way, went as if on a holiday, the intellectual society gathered there to see what was done in great art.
"Thanks for the courage!"
You know, I wrote my post about tolerance on the social network and absolutely not counting on the fact that it will work as a detonator, will cause such crazy interest. There were 10 thousand likes and 2.5 thousand comments. People wrote, "Thank you for what you said, thank you for your courage." Guys, what is the courage, what is the courage? Do you remember the fairy tale about the naked king? She fits here just like never before. Only a small child whispered, and then said loudly: "The king is naked!" But the whole retinue, afraid to look like stupid donkeys, told the king that he had a beautiful dress. The point is that fear changes consciousness. If “this” is shown on the metropolitan scenes, if something that was not the norm is slipped to us under the guise of a norm, people begin to fear, they say to each other: shut up, do you need problems? God be with him, they will figure it out themselves, what do you want,most of all you need? If this is shown, then maybe you and I do not understand anything? Yes, we are sick, but someone knows better.
And I'm getting scared. Because I am one of those people who consider themselves patriots. I was born in this country, I am a Muscovite, I love this city very much. I am a patriot of my friends. Patriotism is still close people, close in spirit, in mentality. These are your roots. I love my friends, I love my family, I value it very much. And I don't want my children, my future grandchildren to change their minds. And they write to me: "All the same, bitch, we will parade, as you write, in your Moscow and in Russia."
Overnight after the publication of the post, a huge number of these people organized themselves into groups that began to send me pornographic materials, write that, to put it mildly, they will have oral sex with my sons, they will be fucked - you know how. And then they will understand that having sex with men is cooler than with women.
My two sons were convulsing with rage. Unthinkable anger poured out on me. Although there was not a single name and no call for persecution of gays.
No, not out of cowardice: I have nothing to fear. In general, I am not afraid of anything in this life. But I will not be silent. Because I can't take it anymore.
I do not commit any illegal actions. What, will I not shake hands for being indignant at what is not called art? Look what Tsiskaridze said: he is categorically against what is happening, the stage is not for this. Art should be beautiful, it's true. Yes, it is problematic, it raises various social topics. Art has always been allegorical in our country, especially in times of stagnation. How to say in the same Aesopian language, how to show that social truth that worries people? Well, not a bare ass! Not a naked dick! Not exposed anus!
Parents with teenagers come to the theater. Do you want to tell me that this is a formed psyche? I have been working with children all my life, I teach, I have a charitable foundation. Don't you dare change their minds. There is a man and a woman, two sexes: male and female. And if you tell a person all the time that he is a pig, then he really grunts. If we constantly talk about tolerance, if we shove people into their heads what is not true, but is a lie, but call it true, after a while (very quickly) public consciousness will begin to change. We have children with you. And all family values will go to hell, all family ties will be severed, the family in the form in which it exists will cease to exist - forever, do you understand?
A huge number of heterosexuals - though, apparently, they will soon become a minority - stand up for family values. But why does it not occur to you and me to apply to the Moscow mayor's office for permission to parade along Tverskaya? Let's draw a cinematic picture together with you: thousands of men and women with smiling faces walk in family shorts, T-shirts, holding each other's hands, followed by their smiling children. And all - with posters: "We are having sex with my wife, with my husband, in such and such a way, in such and such positions, and we have such beautiful boys and girls." If I were the initiator of such a passage through Moscow, I would be told in response: “Have you gone mad, or what? What a straight parade? Come on, Yana, call you a durovoz, hospitalize you, treat you …"
The truth is very difficult to tell even to yourself. Not to mention such tribunes as television, print, radio media. True, the concepts of good and evil have been mutilated, almost everything has been replaced. They will say about a person who is engaged in charity: this is all PR. And I always answer only one thing: try to promote yourself like that. And try, as thousands of wonderful people do, lend a helping hand, collect trucks, trains, planes. Dedicate yourself to helping others, strangers, nameless people, to give them hope for salvation in grief and loneliness. Isn't this human law? Yes, human. You can remember Sparta and say: let's not help. There will be fewer people, the air will become cleaner.
How do you perceive the phrase "servants of the people"? Negatively. But in the beginning it was different. My great-great-grandfather, I found him, was an officer of the tsarist army, we have a premium Bible of Tsar Nicholas at home. Until the last days of his life, he said: “He served the Fatherland. Served his people. " He went through all the wars with a shot in the spine, in a corset.
Do you know about the salaries of deputies today? This is hundreds of thousands of rubles. I am very worried about the question: if you decided to devote yourself for a certain amount of time, even for 5 years, serving your people, then how can you watch the life of people from the window of your car? Only a person who lives on the same salary as his compatriots will be able to understand: how to travel by public transport, what a grocery basket is, how to pay for utilities. And, only experiencing the same hardships as the people, this deputy will be able to write and propose laws that change the lives of these people for the better. How can he understand a woman in extreme despair with a sick child in her arms? And thousands of people in my country collect 100, 200, 500 rubles for her - this is a Christian contribution - to help the family operate and save this child. I know this firsthand and bow to these people: here they are, the real Servants of the People.
Why shouldn't the deputies and officials who receive huge sums of money (though sometimes it is not clear to me why) donate part of their salaries? Let there be not half, Lord, let the tithing be! To make life easier for people who live hard in Russia. I travel a lot to the regions. How hard people live! I don't know how they survive sometimes.
Maybe you will say that I am a grown up romantic. Not. I am a very adequate person. But the concept of social injustice has lately been colossal, absolutely. The President of my country in a single person (with so many deputies, assistants!) In a direct line with the people solves the private issues of a certain number of people who rely only on him. How is this possible? How? Then let only the president decide everything, no need to keep such a staff of officials and various departments! If the people rely only on Putin.
So, I want people who come to the Duma and work in the public service to know how that very people live. And so that in their own skin they understand what it means to live on a tiny salary, to feed, teach and dress their children. I want officials to be treated not abroad, but at home, in their own country. It is necessary that there be a state law on this topic. Then the charitable foundations will not be forced to send children abroad for operations. Because if officials are treated here, then huge, amazing medical centers will be built, money will be invested in them.
I am a steadfast tin soldier, I care. The people with whom I live side by side also care. Because there is no shame in saying what is true. Do you understand? There is only the valor and honor of any person who comes out and talks not about selfish interests, but about what worries the country.
