We were able to know that Nikita Sergeyevich health problems. And the only reason he had missed, and the arrival of the mayor of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin , and immediately the very track, and not able to read the welcome speech. The fact that Mikhalkov is on the planned treatment, said actress Anna Chipovskaya . She also promised that “soon Nikita join us”.

And, Sergei Sobyanin said that “just talked on the phone with Nikita Sergeyevich, and he asked me to convey that with all your heart with us” . As the mayor said that did not come just like that, and to replace Mikhalkov, as well as to welcome the Russian and foreign guests of the festival. It is the same as he did before Khrushchev, put the chain on the Bulgarian director Ivailo of Christ, who became this year’s chairman of the jury.

Meanwhile, we it was reported that a briefing with Nikita Sergeyevich canceled. This means that his state of health has not improved to such an extent as to meet with journalists. We wish the director soon recover and, as before, to welcome you International Film Festival at the close of the competition next week.
