In our review of the statements of the deputy of the Novosibirsk Regional Legislative Assembly Anatoly Kubanova, head of the Synodal Information Department (ROC) Vladimir Legoyda, head of Chekhov Moscow Art Theater Oleg Tabakov. Stage director Timothy Kulyabin on the recommendation of his new lawyer does not give interviews, but previously spoken in fact situation. At the end of this material we place video – interview, filmed by journalists of the “precedent”.
Deputy Legislative Assembly Anatoly Kubanov: “The dictatorship of vulgarity cost money»
In Novosibirsk, another sad-predictable “cultural” scandal. A series of kultsyrya – exhibition “Russian bestiality” gelmanovskie enema play “Onegin”, continued production of the opera “Tannhauser”. In the classic Soviet film “Beware of the Car” hero inimitable Evstigneeva, director of the national theater defiantly proclaims “And if we do not wipe William Shakespeare of our?»
Novosibirsk director, swinging on most of our Alexander Pushkin in a very frivolous statement “Onegin”, has decided not to spare in the creative fuse and Richard Wagner. All this would be funny if it did whatever theater masters in German composer, but they surpassed themselves. Mocker wove the image of Christ in the self-made production. And the jokes are over. God is not mocked. Followed justified the indignant reply. And after – the familiar whine of the creative freedom of persecuted artists.
Ladies of bureaucratic culture, respectable manager of the theater, the young talent – all wailed about the pressure of Orthodox activists and the most politicized situation. This transition from cultural to political provocation. But this gamesmanship when rudeness parading in clothes of injured innocence, fails. Obviously, the problem is not generated at the political, and ethical level. A connoisseur of world culture Yuri Lotman argued that “culture begins with the ban.” Whether you’re a communist, or a Buddhist, a believer or an atheist, it is important to keep in bounds of decency. Buddhists do not topple the statue of Lenin, communist – not scoff at the Buddha. Raised an atheist would not desecrate religious shrines. A believer will not be bred arrogance to look at the materialist as a descendant of a monkey. It is a pity that this minimal luggage sensitivity imparted since childhood, is not known to some local peons on the culture.
cheek urging the profane in their aesthetic and imaginary Chosen infallibility, these nuggets frantic attempt in the cultural life of our city to establish the dictatorship of banality. Cozy settling in public institutions of culture, they want to rebellion.
Prikarmlivayas on state grants, running naked on a leash and exposing enema at exhibitions, it went to pose as Modigliani. Taking administrative positions in kultsfere and brood there banal nepotism, do not build from a Promethean spirit. Persecuted genius on a budgetary basis – it’s gone. It terry baryzhnichestvo of culture, is the cause of constant scandals like “Tannhauser”.
And do not blame the Orthodox believers. They defended themselves. If you publicly insulted and defile the memory of your loved ones – you give rebuff. And it is unlikely you will stop the existence of cad title of Honored Artist and director of education. And do not be afraid of calling for censorship, it already exists.
There is no Soviet Glavlit, no Inquisition were not as effective. Talented painters, filmmakers to break through this barrier almost impossible. If you are not a brother or kinsman cult-nomenclature, if you participate in the disgusting obscenities in joy uncultured “patrons of the arts” – all the way closed. The dictatorship of vulgarity – is the most ruthless censorship.
Vladimir Legoyda, head of the Synodal Information Department (ROC)
“The church has no goals and aspirations engage in censorship of works of art, it is not fighting with him and protects him. ROC as anyone else interested in that object of protecting the feelings of believers, there was no criminal cases Legoyda said. According to him, the Church is called to find a common language with the creative people and journalists “in the world and understanding”.
When conflicts arise, they must be resolved in the legal field, the representative of the Russian Orthodox Church. He stressed that it is better than the failure of performances or other similar events.
Legoyda recalled that back in 2011 the Council of Bishops adopted a document that defines the ratio of the ROC for public blasphemy. According to him, to determine the relation to such cases and take action should “authorized synodal or diocesan ecclesiastical authorities”.
“This is obviously not to say that any believer or a priest, seeing in the public space is something that seems to him blasphemy, insulting his feelings, must run on its own initiative in the prosecutor’s office,” – said the representative of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Legoyda said the Metropolitan of Novosibirsk and Berdsk Tikhon, given the exceptional nature of the situation, acting in accordance with canon law, by submitting a complaint to the police on the opera “Tannhauser”. However, he called the “strange” reaction Izhevsk priest to stage “The Blizzard” in the local theater. ROC representative noted that in this case the diocese refrain from assessing performances.
At the same time Legoyda very critical of the Novosibirsk production of the opera “Tannhauser”. However, he urged the authors to resolve the conflict around the play “without court sentences”.
Head of Chekhov Moscow Art Theater Oleg Tabakov
Timothy Kulyabin put in the Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theatre performance of “Tannhauser”. I have not seen the show, however, as those who complained about him to the prosecutor’s office. But the fact of a criminal case concerning a work of art, no matter how controversial and ambiguous it may be, can not but cause concern.
In Leo Tolstoy was a wonderful term “energy of delusion.” The artist has the right to mislead. In it – this delusion – the search for meaning, struggles manifestations of the spirit, the energy of life in it. You can not beat the art of hand.
You can not face criminal charges for performances, books, paintings, music. There is only one step to the book burning at the stake.
Freedom of creation – the same absolute value, as well as freedom of religion.
Censorship in any manifestation – the state or the church – is dangerous. The task of society and the church, as it seems to me – not to prosecute anyone who, in the opinion of this company or its representatives particularly vulnerable, violated in his work, morality, hurt feelings – but to engage in dialogue, debate, persuade, argue, of conscience, end.
I urge to stop the persecution and theater director.
Let’s say instead of swinging the Criminal Code. Let’s argue, not to judge. Let’s remember that in the beginning was the word, and not a fist.
Meanwhile, the chairman of the State Duma Committee for Public Associations and Religious Organizations Jaroslav Nilov insists attracting director Timothy Kuljabina to criminal liability for insulting the feelings of believers because of the play “Tannhauser”. He said, “Russian news service.” “Thank God that we have this law. We shall be punished for insulting the citizens do not, and for acts committed for the purpose of abuse. Regardless of the injured party has the appropriate grounds for a criminal case, “- he said.
Niles added that it is better to bring one person to criminal liability, you give others the opportunity to create this sort of thing, “generating a desire for revenge and to commit acts of terrorism.” He noted that in Russia for these acts are punishable up to three years in prison.
