Watch in the new People Project on the belarus 24 tv channel hello, you are watching the distortion program , be silent in the studio svetlana smolonskaya and Tatyana Shcherbina and today our guest is the honored artist of belarus Andrei Dushechkin. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Hello. Andrei andreevich yesterday i am glad to see you in our mutual. Thank you and we are meeting with you on the eve of the National Unity day, a new holiday for belarus. How do you feel . This unity in society is unconditional. Eh, wonderful holiday hmm i was very happy. When he is young, we have it very recently. I was very happy. When this date was approved by the president hmm National Unity day, that is, for me this is again a definite milestone in the formation of our republic as a state of a sovereign, beautiful Eastern European republic. And these holidays are needed simply because the word is one. For example, it is in society, it will act, the word has very strong energy. It enters the consciousness of people of different ages and different generations. And now people will celebrate the day of National Unity, schoolchildren will hear adults can participate once again. He will remember that there is only one motherland. There wont be another one. At the subconscious level , this holiday, which is common to our country, our republic, will certainly be postponed. I remember last year, the minsk arena and our wonderful forum with and. I still performed francisco skaryna and how, well, its clear, a citizen of belarus who knows its history, the history of culture, and yet a person still involved in literature , and for me there was such responsibility and joy, so beautifully, we did it all, but then i saw the video and the forum was amazing, it was very beautiful, the unity was straight through the vitals. Yes, it was simply brilliant. I think its a holiday. Necessary and god grant him the strength to gain strength, but we are talking about unity, but in the twentieth year there was a certain split in society. It happened after all. Do you have an explanation for why this happened . Firstly, i must say that today i see the reasons why so many difficulties arose in society back then in 1920. They are now the state consciously and quite successfully are being resolved, namely, our republic has raised questions about its history of its identity, systemically and consciously. We need to remind society, the citizens of our country, what kind of country it came from . How it was formed, what happened when a person understands this system, he often shies away in all directions, without understanding. Why wont he go there . Secondly, we need to understand the reasons, and the reason for the emergence of a certain negative. For example, the fact that, again, our republic systematically raised the issue of genocide of the belarusian people. Its not just tribute great patriotic war. This is also a system reminder. The reasons why this could arise, so that there is no split in society. The country must know its history, be a single state and protect it. This is the state and this systematic work every day. And now she has been doing this for the last 3 years. By the way, this split is also taking place. It seems to me that he is leaving in many ways. It s not that people change their opinions. But for gods sake, a person has the right to his opinion. But there is no understanding of what a state, a country, and a peaceful sky above ones head are and what a nightmare it is to lose, and i observe this in different generations, and i, as a person, am a generation who has already lost a state once, because i will never forget the ninetyfirst year and the antistate coup. E of the soviet union when all norms for the destruction of the country were violated. They just didnt care about the allunion referendum and so on. And what nightmare happened next and how long did it last . By the way, i remembered in those hot august days, and in the twentieth year on one of the russian tv channels in a talk show, uh, our political analyst Alexander Shpakovsky directly. And hmm , he spoke so emotionally and said, theyve already taken away one country from me. i wont allow this to happen a second time. You have the same, yes the same, because people have lost their country. 78 expressed support for the preservation of the state, a referendum was held, this is a fact, yes , and even, even lets say, if according to this figure it wasnt , well, the country lived as a single state, well, lets say the political elite got into a crisis of their own, this is the nomenklatura. Well, then solve it there, and whose is the whole state to drag . After all, they destroyed the armys economy with them into the pit. I remember this, and all my friends served. My generation has friends, and i have half of my Close Friends with whom i grew up, they all went through afghanistan. I remember what they came from there. They repaid their debt. I remember how my close friend oleg , god rest upon him, passed away from his young life. We grew up differently, you were raised differently. And here we sit and talk. And suddenly i then accidentally tell him there like olezhka yes, these are not my problems, what are you telling me then this phrase arose for the first time. We didnt have it in society. Its not my problem. Uhhuh this is not a soviet phrase. We had common problems. We lived in one house, the whole country, but we solved these problems. Oleg suddenly looked at me like that and said, as you said, he came all gray. Like you said, its not your problem. With such contempt , andryukha began to talk somehow differently, because this is a bad phrase. These are not my problems, but today is not your tomorrow, someone else will tell you. Go die. Its not my problem. Bad phrase is not ours this is a phrase, and thats why losing a country is worse than a nightmare. Its just that losing your homeland is a big disaster for any person, thats why our state is strong now. And it became even stronger. We have a very strong democratic legal system. A european sovereign country that now monitors its statehood, it did so before, but, apparently, having drawn certain conclusions. And thats work. And i think that this schism is now simply practically unacceptable, but then in 2020 you were one of the first, uh, not afraid to openly express express your position. Let us remind you what you said in the interview with our colleague. They are not mozhaika. The creativity of art is higher than politics; creativity exists and beats in the human heart. It defines a moral issue rather than a political one. Viewers cant get enough of this spiritual conversation. So they must be these muses. This poem must be written, this performance must be performed even for one person in the hall. So he came and he needed it. I only hope on one thing. What, well, my colleagues, for example, to the buy theater, whom i respect, with whom we have gone through many creative situations together, that they will sort out their problems, their appearance is awaited by the audience who love them, who only go to see them. They are waiting for their performances, which right now would be very necessary for the very same pavlinka king lear walked. They have an excellent repertoire. It turns out that he is gone, and i really hope that the kupala theater will rise up and the audience who are waiting for them and love them will come to their hall, and everything will be fine. This interview aired. Uh, november 11, 20. At that moment, you really believed that these rebels would come to their senses. I will say this is how i always do it. I always believe in the best, but at that moment, at that moment, our gorky theater, given the situation around us , also bathed in the cinema. Our meeting was unofficial, but any member of the team who wanted could come . And almost everyone came ; there were no indifferent people. There was practically no possibility, and we were deciding for ourselves the question of how the gorky theater should behave in that situation, firstly, how can we somehow help or take part, in the situation of the kupavlovsky theater, that these are , after all, our colleagues, we were all very connected. In any case, for the cinema, for some big projects. We cross paths. What to do and what position the gorky theater will take. And it was important for me that i spoke at that meeting. Took the floor and it was important for me that the majority was overwhelming. The gorky theater decided to work. There was no talk of any layoffs to preserve the theaters repertoire and play go on stage and do your thing. Excuse the professional spirit of this gorky theater then with almost its entire staff. It has been largely preserved, even now. And he saved himself, like, well, an excellent theatrical structure, one of the best theaters of the republic in its entire history, after all, the gorky theater , he saved himself, the state supported him, because he didnt go. Its about this destruction and this negativity, although in an acting theater environment. It was a very difficult period, a difficult covid time. It was heavy, we kept it. We made our decision, the gorky theater retained its staff, and it is of different people with different opinions. This is fine. And this is how we exist now. We respect each other in our team. We have a good team and work hard. And, of course, it is very important. Well, we really work hard, and we have success, and this has already been noticed by the state. And of course, now in many ways it is very important to preserve this team until the end. It is important for us to maintain the team is always difficult, especially creatively, so here i am i really hope so, because we have made our decision. And we honestly carry out this decision. This was important for me, because it was open and honest, we made our choice at the gorky theater, it was nt easy, there were different opinions then. And to our address on this matter. We survived this. Just doing my job and as time has shown. We were right, but you say that you survived. Eh, lets say, the opinion of opponents of your active civic position was probably fought with negativity. But today, looking back and after this for a long time you have forgiven those who may have cursed you. Well, i am a christian, baptized, in principle, i need to forgive, but that s not the point. And hmm, when the team is almost unanimous. Im telling you the truth now. Standing in its position, we were not touched that much. There were definitely some opinions, like, how are you doing this . But, just like that, someone really scared us, and we got scared. Yeah, we didnt have that, because theres nothing to cover here, like these normal workers from the factories that i i remember the chronicle. Yeah, they Say Something about leaving with posters, and he goes to do his shift, because he understands that if the economy improves in the republic, it will become so much fun that it wont be enough. No one in his family has it. Thats it. And in general, well, what is it for everyone , for him his own factory, just as for me the gorky theater is his home . How can he stop him . Why the main thing is for what . Political problems must be resolved on the political field, and not by destroying the economy and imposing sanctions with the sole thought of introducing a sovereign economy, sorry republic, into collapse. Yes, solve your problems; the party does not suit you. Yes, close this party, but the theater must play, and the plant must work. And when you stand in this position, well , you listen to different opinions. Well, this wont change anything. So i dont remember. Im just answering. Heres to your questions so that somehow hmm were missing something there. We spoke out, we continued our work. Where there is definitely something, as i remember, i wasnt very interested in it. Someone said something, and everything went quiet, because apparently they felt your strength collective, including it will not succeed, but if that is, there was some kind of commonality , yes, again, the only thing we are talking about is that they wont be able to break me, and who bu literally a few there, we had people there in different ways workshops. Well, there were literally only a few people there, maybe 12 people. They didnt agree, but they also left honestly. Yeah well, everyone is gone, well, you said, very good, but simple truths, the theater must play, the plant must work. And how do you understand the term patriotism, in principle, maybe this is the basis of patriotism, what you said is love, because i hmm well, for example, we talked a little before recording and told the story of my family, after all, a hereditary acting family. My mother is from magnitogorsk, my father is from kiev , and i am a native because i was born. And i love this whole slavic brotherhood, our unity. I am stripes of flesh. This is a vivid illustration absolutely. Well, how can i be different . And if my roots are such ukraine is incredibly beautiful, kiev is an incredibly beautiful city. I grew up so serious at my grandmothers on the dnieper in magnitogorsk a couple of times such a mining town, so harsh , i remember being afraid of it, and kiev was a fairy tale city, republic of ukraine soviet ukrainian ussr it was a blooming paradise. And our bssr, soviet times, as the Assembly Shop of the entire soviet union was called, a powerful, Strong Manufacturing republic, but the most important thing is that it is very beautiful. I just really love it. Our belarus has lakes, ive been writing poetry all my life. She directly imbues you with poetry, lakes. These forests are ours, these trees are ours, these people. We have a special culture, after all , belarus has its own cultural layer of some kind your own cultural root, some kind, probably , yes, you have to love him, because its all ours , you cant trade it, first of all, you cant. All this must be protected. Why, when Alexander Grigorievich became the first president of an already sovereign republic in history , what did he do as a real man of the people, as a real Business Owner . Dad, he did a simple thing. In my opinion. He kept what he had. I kept what i have, i didnt sell it, i didnt rent it out. Didnt sell out. He just developed it all and took it the best in terms of the social orientation of the development of society that was developed by the soviet union, preserved it, adapted it to the present time, which is developing, developed it, strengthened it, and then i observed the modern realities of today, adapting it to today, well, you cant get any wiser, moreover, we are a republic, this is separate conversation, but very important peacemaker we are a good neighborly republic, but what i personally like, as a very adult person and citizen, is that with all this, with all our kindness, we do nothing but merim uhhuh, we extend a helping hand to everyone , our president says, guys, yes, lets live together. Yes, what are you doing . Taking everything into account. The difficult situation around is added to. We will be friends. Well, god forbid, and this is very important. Because we dont need to be patted on the shoulder by a strong, sovereign european country. The historian igor marsoluk recently vis
