Alexey Serebryakov refused. Alexey Serebryakov for the first time told his reason for adopting children

Director and deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Culture Vladimir Bortko would not invite Alexei Serebryakov, who starred in his series “Gangster Petersburg,” to collaborate. He believes that now the actor will no longer be offered roles in Russian cinema. Bortko called Serebryakov’s statements “evidence of stupidity and meanness,” REN TV reports.

The head of Mosfilm, Karen Shakhnazarov, shares the same point of view. In addition, he believes that Serebryakov is earning advantages in his new homeland by making rude statements about Russia. Six years ago, the artist left for Canada, but did not renounce Russian citizenship.

Let us recall that Alexey Serebryakov said in an interview with journalist Yuri Dudu that the national idea of ​​Russia is strength, arrogance and rudeness. After this, famous people and ordinary users of social networks criticized him. Nevertheless, the actor did not renege on his words.

The artist’s words are just one of a million opinions, noted director Andrei Konchalovsky. “To be honest, I have nothing but sympathy for Alyosha. I hope that he will continue to act in Russia in order to live, because hardly anyone needs him there,” said the director. Previously, Serebryakov admitted that in his new homeland no one needs him as an actor, so he will continue to work in Russian projects.

I strongly disagree with my colleague Alexander Pankratov-Cherny. The actor is sure: intelligence and good manners are inherent in all layers of Russian society, but a lot depends on upbringing. In turn, Mikhail Porechenkov recalled that Russians have never been known for their rudeness. According to the artist, he often travels around our country and meets only wonderful people.

While visiting Dudya, Serebryakov said that he does not consider himself a Russophobe. And he emphasized that he does not pay attention to the opinion of the public - the only thing that matters to the actor is what his wife thinks about him. Serebryakov emphasized that the dashing 90s are not a thing of the past - you can see this by driving 30 kilometers from Moscow. According to him, the national idea of ​​the country is strength, arrogance and rudeness.

The reaction of Internet users was unanimous - rudeness is inherent in Serebryakov himself, who, after moving to Canada, forgot where he was born and who educated him. Russian science fiction writer Sergei Lukyanenko agrees with them: the artist wonderfully illustrated two of the listed qualities through his example - arrogance and rudeness.

Lukyanenko called it a sad situation when “a generally good actor” makes money in a country that he despises and hates. However, according to the writer, it is even more unpleasant to watch Serebryakov being invited to act in films and being paid for it.

The news that Russian actor Alexei Serebryakov renounced Russian citizenship in favor of Canadian citizenship has been flashing in the headlines of Ukrainian publications for several days now. Journalists also claim that the star of the film “Leviathan” has been traveling to his homeland on a work visa for a long time. An interview with Alexey Serebryakov appeared on the website of one of the Ukrainian TV channels, where he allegedly criticizes the Russian mentality. “They often say in Russia that smiles in Western countries are artificial. But for me, artificial smiles are better than sincere anger,” said the 50-year-old actor. . — Unfortunately, here, no matter how much I isolate my children, you cannot protect them from rudeness and aggression. It's in the air. Ham won“- journalists of the Ukrainian channel quote Serebryakov.

SUPER contacted Alexey Serebryakov and asked him to explain the current situation. The actor, who proudly represented Russia at this year's Cannes Film Festival, said that he did not renounce his citizenship.

“This is all untrue,” said Alexey Serebryakov. The star of the film “Leviathan” noted that this is a provocation of Ukrainian journalists who are using his past interviews for their own purposes now - during the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. According to him, he expressed a similar opinion regarding his homeland three years ago. “This was said more than three years ago. Now my opinion remains with me, and I do not share it,” the actor concluded.

Let us remember that Serebryakov emigrated with his family to Canada more than two years ago. The reason for leaving, according to the movie star, was his position regarding the social situation in Russia. Despite this, the actor continues to take an active part in the development of Russian cinema. Alexey Serebryakov takes part in films that raise the patriotic spirit of the country. His latest work, the film Leviathan directed by Andrei Zvyagintsev, received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival this year. Alexey also admitted more than once that he misses his native land: “I am a man of this land, there’s no getting away from it. And it’s unlikely that there’s anything like it anywhere else.” By the way, now Alexey Serebryakov, who is raising two adopted sons, is filming in Moscow.

The former famous, now former Russian actor Alexei Serebryakov, together with his family, for GODEP cookies and Canadian promises, left the country that raised him, one might say breastfed him, put him on his feet and brought him to celebrity (former, of course, already celebrities). A country that has hero actors who are ready to shoot at fascists will not even notice the loss of such scum as Serebryakov!

The star of the cult TV series who has disappeared forever Gangster Petersburg", 50-year-old Alexey Serebryakov left his motherland forever. One of the traitors of the “Fifth Column” obtained Canadian citizenship and renounced the homeland of Pushkin, Lenin, Stalin, and what can I say, the homeland of Putin and Zhirinovsky. Now he will appear in Russia only for filming, while applying for a work visa.

As the “five-column” Alexey himself says, there are many things that don’t suit him in Mother Russia.
“They often say in Russia that smiles in Western countries are artificial. But for me, artificial smiles are better than sincere anger. We have an absolutely slave psychology! And democracy is responsibility. At best, the people delegate someone to power. Like, we chose you - you are responsible for everything, solve our problems!
Democracy is making a decision based on knowledge, a clear understanding of what you are choosing between. But I personally don’t see today a general desire of people to educate themselves, develop, improve their skills, work and, in the end, bear responsibility - including for the country, for the government. And those who want are a drop in the bucket.", - Alexey said in his recent interview, commenting on his decision.

The question is, who brought such an infection, such rot into the brains of a former worthy Russian? Who could convince him that Russia and the Russians are evil? Of course, representatives of the Ukrainian junta, representatives of the fascist people.

Serebryakov also added that he dreams of his children growing up in a world where knowledge and hard work are valued, where “it is not necessary to push elbows, be rude, be aggressive and be afraid of people.” Of course, Serebryakov had in mind his former homeland, a country where every person is free from birth until the most holy rite of burial.

Russians, of course, understand and regret that Serebryakov’s children will hate their father and mother because they deprived them of their Orthodox homeland and the Russian world, deprived them not only of the opportunity to lay their cheeks on the bricks of the Kremlin, but also to feel the common bonds, like for the last homeless person , and for the greatest in all the years of civilization on Earth - the president.
Do you agree with Alexey Serebryakov?

For some this is no longer news. But I was very surprised. "As the artist previously stated in a media interview: “They often say in Russia that smiles in Western countries are artificial. But for me it’s better artificial smiles than sincere anger ." Why?

Poor and unhappy man Alexey Serebryakov. I am sitting at a large festive table right now with my family and friends. I asked how things were going with them " sincere anger around", yes, such that it is necessary to abandon Russia. Mine laughed and took pity on poor Serebryakov. I believe the reasons for being surrounded by such things are in the person himself.

Serebryakov ("Own Children", "Military Hospital", "Zhmurki", "Gangster Petersburg", "Caravan Hunters") sought a change of citizenship for more than a year, and finally got his way.

Now Alexey Serebryakov has officially become a citizen of Canada, where he has been living recently (since 2012). The artist comes to Russia exclusively for filming, now on a work visa.

Serebryakov doesn’t like Russia, he thinks a country with an “absolutely slave psychology”, for which democracy is unattainable, since true democracy is possible only when you not only can choose between something, but also clearly understand that you are choosing and are responsible for it.

As the actor summarizes: “Unfortunately, here, no matter how much I isolate my children from rudeness and aggression, you cannot protect them. It’s in the air. Ham won".

I really like the images that this actor created earlier. They are real, human, deep. He was a symbol for many. A role model.

This news is an ordinary betrayal - to harmoniously integrate into the semantic matrix of Russian humanity, to lock in many, many, and then do the exact opposite, murderous for a country that is now in a very difficult time. Kill meanings.

This is exactly how the country of the USSR was betrayed and killed. The elite trampled the meanings, coveting the sausage and personal potential life of the bourgeois.

One can only wish guest worker Alexey a fat life and a strong hangover after, as befits a slave spirit who sold meanings.

This news is included in the topic

In recent years, an interesting pattern has begun to emerge - the greatest resonance in society is caused not by the new works of domestic artists and directors, but by their, to put it mildly, ambiguous statements on universal themes.

"Neither enterprise nor dignity is a national idea"

The hero of February 2018, of course, can be considered People's Artist of Russia Alexey Serebryakov, who in the interview Yuri Dudu expressed his opinion on the state of affairs in modern Russia and on the national characteristics of Russians.

“I think that if you drive 30, 50, 70 kilometers from Moscow, you will see many elements of the 90s. One way or another, until now neither knowledge, nor intelligence, nor enterprise, nor dignity are a prerogative, a national idea. The national idea is strength, arrogance and rudeness.” When asked by a journalist when the artist himself encountered this for the last time, Serebryakov said: “Yes, as a matter of fact, today. I gave a bribe to a traffic cop.” To the slightly stunned reporter, the actor explained: “I violated a little... I didn’t want to waste time, but he wanted this bribe so much... And I thought: “Maybe he has three children, the devil knows.”

Alexey Serebryakov's revelations could not go unnoticed. The reaction to them was appropriate.

“I have nothing but sympathy for Alyosha”

Director Vladimir Bortko in an interview with RT noted: “I filmed him in two films, both were extremely patriotic. He didn't say anything like that then. I don’t know what happened to him now. The national idea of ​​Russia is to love your homeland. And this idea allowed us to survive for centuries, being, to put it mildly, in a not very favorable environment. Serebryakov is a good artist, by the way. But a good artist does not mean a smart person.”

Colleague Bortko Andron Konchalovsky, who lived and worked in the West for many years, commented on the RBC actor’s performance: “To be honest, I have nothing but sympathy for Alyosha. I hope that he will continue to act in Russia in order to live, because there (outside Russia - Ed.) hardly anyone needs him."

Serebryakov’s long-term friend and his partner in the series “Gangster Petersburg” Dmitry Pevtsov in an interview with REN-TV, he defended his colleague: “All the hype that arises, it seems to me, is stupid. Those who do this are engaged in self-PR.”

At the same time, Pevtsov admitted that he himself had not yet seen the interview.

Journalists also turned to Serebryakov himself for comment.

“I said everything I said. If I need to negotiate something, I will turn to Mr. Dudu and negotiate with him,” the artist answered REN-TV journalists.

The boy from "Eternal Call"

The acting career of Moscow native Alexei Serebryakov began early and almost by accident. The boy studied at a music school in the accordion class and one day was photographed for a report about the educational institution, which was published in the newspaper “Evening Moscow”. The photo caught the eye of the assistant directors Vladimir Krasnopolsky And Valeria Uskova, who was looking for exactly the type. This is how 13-year-old Alexei Serebryakov, who came from a family of a doctor and an aircraft engineer, ended up in one of the most successful multi-part film projects of the USSR - “Eternal Call”.

By the time he entered the acting school, Serebryakov already had a rich film biography. For example, he played the main role of Suvorov soldier Vladimir Kovalev in the film “Scarlet Epaulets”. “The film tells about the fate of the students of the Suvorov Military School, who worthily took the baton from their commanders during the Great Patriotic War, and about the present day of the Soviet army, the formation of characters, and the cultivation of courage in young soldiers,” is the description of the plot of this 1980 film.

From "Fan" to "Leviathan"

However, after graduating from GITIS in 1986, Serebryakov plunged headlong into perestroika cinema and the public recognized him in completely different images. This is a cruel guy nicknamed Pan and the films “Fun of the Young”, a karateka nicknamed “Kid” from the film “Fan”, Sergeant Arsenov from “Afghan Break”, where Serebryakov played with the famous Italian Michele Placido.

There were also completely unexpected roles - for example, a role in the erotic comedy “Nude with a Hat”, or the role of a vampire slayer in the film “Ghoul”.

In 2000, Serebryakov again became one of the most popular domestic actors. This happened after he played crime boss Oleg Zvantsev, nicknamed “Lawyer,” in the TV series “Gangster Petersburg.” The next major work, which caused a wide resonance, was the main role in the 2004 TV series “Penal Battalion”. We can say that at this moment Serebryakov finally gained a reputation as a person who brilliantly plays controversial characters in controversial films.

Indeed, the actor starred in almost all major projects that caused fierce controversy in society. We have already talked about “Penal Battalion”, and there were also the roles of a moonshiner in the dark film “Cargo 200”, the role of Lebeda in the film “Once Upon a Time There Was a Woman” and, of course, the main role in “Leviathan” Alexey Zvyagintsev.

“We have an absolutely slave psychology”: how Alexey Serebryakov explained his departure to Canada to “Arguments and Facts”

In 2010, Alexey Serebryakov was deservedly awarded the title “People’s Artist of Russia”.

And in 2012, the artist and his family left Russia, moving to Canada.

This is how he explained his decision: “I moved my family to Canada. I want my children to grow up and be brought up in a fundamentally different, at least everyday ideology. I want them to understand that knowledge and hard work can be valued, that it is not necessary to push elbows, be rude, be aggressive and be afraid of people. The street ideology of a civilized country is benevolence and tolerance - something that is so lacking in Russia. Unfortunately, here, no matter how much I protect and isolate them, you cannot protect them from rudeness and aggression. It's in the air. Ham has won."

At the same time, according to Serebryakov, the last straw for him was the terrible smog of 2010: “I have been thinking about this for a long time, but the last straw was the summer fires of 2010, when Central Russia was enveloped in a monstrous smog. And the point is not even the smog, but the fact that the authorities did not announce the need to evacuate at least children, since the suspensions that fill the smog are irreversibly deposited in the lungs. This absolutely disregardful attitude of those in power has filled my cup of patience.

And in general, I’m tired of what’s happening in Russia. You could say he ran away and couldn’t stand it. Life is short, and I can’t and don’t want to wait any longer for people to wise up. I don’t know how long I have left, but I want my children to learn: the world is big and you can live differently. Everyone talks about the artificiality of Western smiles, but for me, artificial smiles are better than sincere anger.”

At the same time, in the same interview, the actor discussed issues of state and society: “What kind of democracy can we talk about?! We have an absolutely slave mentality! And democracy is responsibility. At best, the people integrate someone into power. Like, we chose you - you are responsible for everything, solve our problems! Democracy is making a decision based on knowledge, a clear understanding between what and what you are choosing. But I personally don’t see today a general desire of people to educate themselves, develop, improve their skills, work and, in the end, bear responsibility - including for the country, for the government. And those who want are a drop in the bucket.”

If you look carefully, Serebryakov’s interview given to AiF six years ago is a real program document of the actor. And what was said then is not fundamentally different from what is said now.

Patriot on the screen: Alexey Serebryakov still makes money from “boorish behavior”

It would seem that everything is fair and worthy. The actor did not see eye to eye with the people, having gone to a place where life was arranged the way he liked.

There is one catch - Serebryakov left partially. He continues to work in Russia. Or rather, this is how a well-fed and prosperous life in Canada is achieved by an actor through participation in projects for people who, who knows when, will become wiser.

Here's 2015, for example. Serebryakov plays a maniac in the series “Method”, which airs on Channel One. In the same year, on the same channel, Serebryakov appears in the crime drama Fartsa. And in 2017, on the Rossiya channel, the artist played the leading role in the series “Dr. Richter” - the official adaptation of the legendary “Dr. House”.

But there is something more interesting. In 2016, Serebryakov, disappointed with Russia and its people, plays in the patriotic series “The Wall”, based on the historical adventure novel... by the Minister of Culture of Russia Vladimir Medinsky. Serebryakov played a historical figure - a governor Mikhail Borisovich Shein, who led the defense of Smolensk during the Time of Troubles.

And in November 2017, another historical film was released on the screens of the country, which received great government support - “The Legend of Kolovrat.” The film was personally approved Russian President Vladimir Putin, who, after viewing the picture, stated: “From what I saw, it’s impressive, touches the soul, and it seems to me that people will watch with interest. And the idea itself is a good one.”

And who do you think appeared before the Russian audience in the image of the Grand Duke of Ryazan Yuri Igorevich, who fell in battle with the invaders? Of course, Alexey Serebryakov is disappointed in the Russian people.

“I am aware that I am not needed there”

Why this happens, the artist himself explained in the fall of 2012 in an interview with Izvestia: “I am well aware that I am not needed there, but I don’t think so. There will be an opportunity - why not. But wait for me to play Chekhov... This could still happen here, but it’s unlikely there. An image in a movie is not created in one day. Here Johnny Depp: any of his appearances on the screen means $100 million, which the audience brought in to watch him again. For an older Russian artist to make his name such a brand is something out of the realm of the impossible... If a job appears for which I want to come to my wife and children and say: guys, you know, but in the next two months I will be working in Moscow , then they will understand. And for me this will be a chance to do something for which neither I nor they will be ashamed, of which they may even be proud.”

Once upon a time, our ancestors formulated a wisdom that goes like this: “Don’t spit in the well, you’ll need to drink the water.”

In order to get drunk somewhere other than Russia, Alexey Serebryakov has obvious difficulties. Although not everything is so bad - the artist played the boss of the Russian mafia in the “cranberry”, but quite well-made Anglo-American TV series “McMafia”. And yet, the main source of a comfortable life in Canada is money earned in Russia. Money that Russians, including those living 30, 50, 70 or more kilometers from Moscow. The money of Russian taxpayers, which is then allocated for the creation of films and transferred to the artists.
