this is essentially mr chirac you know and thanks for coming to our program and the ignition let's walk down memory lane a bit as we all know that you were expelled from the soviet union in one nine hundred seventy one i was initially also they stripped you of their citizenship. what was your who show explanation of all that was the officer reason for expelling you from the country is that it was cool for you but in your book is about since i was not one of the chosen people he stole my expulsion was quite a complicated one to go order. i was arrested and then taken to the kind of state security for a so-called chat. explained to me that i had three options.

first option which was to go into a man to asylum where i spent half a year. no it was the office of clinic us which was an experimental clinic actually one of the most horrible wants as it was under the jurisdiction of the state security services. they tested new psychotropic medication on us. did help. my mom hadn't gotten out on bail as a disabled i think i would have spent three years there she was told that she should be expecting her son back no sooner than three years later and he says he would actually i wouldn't have the honor of talking to you today b.c. of the usually people left that place in a state of dead had to go straight into the hospital for people with chronic diseases. who wouldn't if you when you took those medications know if you're well it's not that we actually took them it was different all the time i was in an almost twilight state when they said there is experiments for example they would who'd had films on my head and shout out the names of western artists which with

gross mistakes. instead of picasso for example but they would say because. my sense of humor help me i mean conscious. so they would shine the names together with things like modeling the land followed by a bride flashes of light i was seated in front of a huge color screen with some stripes moving on it in different ways. there could be complete darkness and then suddenly the screen would burst with right if such were some of the experiments. don't you think there's something like that yes i mean that's why when i got to france my friends advised me not to watch that movie because they knew my story though when i did watch it i found many similarities. so basically if they wanted to see creepy over your personality and your intellect . you see they try to catch us i mean the young people. to

help us stick to the truth cough they first tried to crush us in certain and read us. but them when they saw that you didn't give in a psychiatrist would give a cue if. the kid should be considered as if you were to version two western principles or not. your denial of socialist thrillers or something else then you weren't a dissident as such right now but i have always protested against being called a dissident no no it wasn't like that i don't like it when someone says that she can is a dissident dissenting i was actually involved in very simple things like studying russian icons but it was considered as interest and mr says though it was also into group there was a book called match his group written by an author from the german democratic republic at those it was a very distressing fascination i don't know if you know anything about. but she

writes a lot about crucifixion to me using a very expressive catechism etc the main crime was my interest in a renoir that says on sicily it was considered a crime yeah even if you were interested in impressionist because they praised the buddha ideology moreover every want to. make it a pain to the naked and gay people so when you were expelled from the soviet union nine hundred seventy one. before we start talking about. the socialist liberalism that you basically denied because as your word you sanction the soviet union which is now becoming very trying to special in the west its words fashionable in moscow and actual in russia like that kind of warred that's child. doesn't it make you said. you see i have never been opposed to socialist

realism. on the contrary when perestroika began knowing the russian nature i was one of the first write a letter to the ministry of culture. them against tearing down the. whole russia and suggested preserving the ones that are made by some real. like. as works of ott. so if you know that people started to smash down stalin monuments. of a different political leaders. but those were done by some real. i actually seriously defend the school of socialist realism. because i had teachers like an amazing illustrator it was illustrations kolob bring on. the truman rely on to come with him. the teacher was you know she was an amazing theatrical master. i have always admired for.

me so i think what happened back then was a big mistake. russia is known for its extreme decisions. but if you saw it union collapsed it was tragically what happened too quickly. and immediately everything that it was connected with it was he was declared very bad. well. it's well deserved when its. people also destroyed all the. destroyed tortures. that's what they call shield you know it's in the old world. that's why i suggested not to denounce it so quickly because those sculptures were true masters of the school a socialist realism. if you decide special order things which were clearly trouble again. the school of socialist realism world even if the world doesn't you know

about it yet. greet a number of truly great. britain russia has all the rise to be proud of that and. the parody on that school like the works of one of those and let me take this a lot of and sort of. for instance in the distorted linnean hugging mickey mouse and the marilyn monroe kissing stalin. or an almost pornographic he's by comrade unlimited stalin on the top of a naked little girls there as well. it's a nasty takeoff on what was going on. on the one hand it might be needed but it really has nothing to do with the serious school of socialist realism. your story with two thousand dollars. has already become a cliche. i didn't go to america i went to france.

fifty dollars in your pocket when you got to france which was one hundred fifty francs at the time. was it hard to find your place you had to find in any local already seen the artistic establishment did you feel like no one needs you over there. my fate was a difficult one in the sense. that but almost nine hundred seventy one. i was a mission of mine was held by dean yvette and his gallery and you know very nice a well known gallery going to my old school music because she was his muse. his entire property. to some litigation but she laid her hands on all his house his duty is everything he had ever created in his lifetime. something of a lady's anything but poor. she hails from and. talk using right now. well we did she was in love with me and my work.

came to france she saw me and gave me as a gift a small shutoff and trumbull here. three days later she came to the chateau with a contract for ten years. though i was an absolute good as they say in russia today that is a model. i was wise enough to see she was out to milk me. under its terms i was supposed to do as i was told. i had to give up my quest in the area of metaphysical synthesis i was only allowed to do a gallon scenes and still lives because they were sold better than anything so on and so forth. do you mean you should. refused to sign a contract. which is you know i gave up the shuttle the day of when i returned and three days later after reading the contract i said to my dear girls. my wondrous creature my sweet roly-poly

i'm giving you back the key. lended blue and dreams of us travelling in india so it's both me seeing the world and not for me. i want exchange a plane cage for a gilded one. left for the great wide world to the screams about any crawling back in three days on my nearly snuff film she was yelling i was a song out in the western jungle and i would soon learn what it was like. but i said to her proudly it's precisely because i'm a soviet my pride is a special one that i won't come back to you either on my knees or otherwise. says. spotlight will be back shortly after a break stay with. you

are. we. to crap. all over the country. virtually all terrorists today. do we have the right to make such provocative statements then do muslim schools have the right to exist. in do find new york city on our children now see. eight thousand murders by the end of elementary school two hundred thousand violent acts by the age of eighteen from movies television shows to video games to children. twenty four hour news channels is now

teens every day formulate a staples industrials in. those letters for shakespeare or those while those who sell. their first think about it there's a good artistic journalistic future but most of the while it's good to see what i call. god came down from heaven and stopped oh. amen a mormon in a pretty what. makes the pill easier to swallow. everybody was come.

to. brighton. soon from friends to. please friends don't talk t. don't come hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news maker. welcome back to spotlight i am just a reminder that today we're talking about art and my guests on the show is. but you said you had come to france with your hundred something francs in your pocket and your reach compared to presented you with it should offer you a contract for twenty years but here you're gone and you would through the darkness

with what was left of your friends is that yes are you sure you didn't make it always cool or was it because of something green in your ability russian nature of the five years i had handled some of those and the s.t. jobs. i was a menial work and the hematological and that implied that you did the dirtiest and hardest jobs that i bought it up with a look at us quip i was a hand to the city scrap yard surreal with a pair of rubber boots on and a pitchfork in my hands i had to move restaurant and saw that eating house waste. so what i was handling those heavy after the first of may but it's because the first of may padres were held to a palace where waialae and eleven guys were in charge of the palace square of what they do with it so it was absolutely out of the question that i'd be scared of hard physical work the most important thing for me was my freedom and when the name

closed up on the holy of holies my creative freedom which was my conscious choice after all i could have joined the union i could have made good money as a black and white artist i think but did you really feel part your first encounter with non freedom in the shape of that contre really feel that you war in the free world after all that the west did truly boast their freedom which the soviet union left yes of course absolute freedom how come i wasn't seeing portraits of landing on a. non-standard. everywhere and you know still beyond that numerous as lenin so that's one thing for another and you fairly well that if the conditions where i live but just to pull them there was no heating. windows were smashed. and painted the walls as good as they managed. there was no kitchen at the will nor generally anything. it was an abandoned me where i began my new life when i was

happy i was happy for one simple reason because i knew that no one would invade my friends as without even a search warrant no one would drum machine my books drawings easels and letters at six in the morning and i knew that i wouldn't be taken for questioning in a van with the word bread on it as it happened in the past and most importantly i wouldn't be confined to a madhouse where they didn't get me with god knows what. i was walking and happiness. and where money or poverty was concerned i wasn't frightened at all i didn't come to us from the sky i didn't think i was a genius do you believe you're one no it's because you said i didn't. know i'm describing the frame of mind i was in shock. and i felt the other way about it . nor would i make a new shows a ball. and be just marking time the big problem with some guys

because at that time we were all nonconformists and had the same status regardless of how good. skills were but when we began making it to the west became clear that some were not quite so good painters others are not so good sculptors and it's natural if differences cropped up for me knowing full well that if i had to take a rino job take it without thinking twice i even have an article entitled. hand i keep it in my archives. by the way one of the latest project. fairytales. all the details. the fantasy world of money is coming alive in the russian. idea. the famous adduced has been cherishing it since the mind in six days the

stream has turned into the biggest project that there were films has worked on since the collapse of the soviet union no computer animation or special effects are used on the stop motion with its unique atmosphere to created she had to first make sketches for the one hundred fifty characters in the seventy eight minute film. vision of hoffman's world is want to be trusted the russian audience has never denied the chairman of reuters in france. hoffman himself is the main character in the new cartoon during his lifetime he found refuge in the weightroom work likewise the animated hoffman is travelling in the mystical world of his own tales in the cooch is produced in his own imagination. this particular fairy tale for children is also becoming this drama. escapism from real life. you've been working on for some time now on the small orange film there's the you

know armidale on the fairy tale rider so many eddie as you call it you promised it would hit their screens in two thousand and nine any time soon. the problem as usual. were making a piece by piece ten or fifteen minutes a film to wait for the sponsors should own wait for the government to shell out it was not mostly the entire project has been stalled for several years because the russian government collects the money to the project or it's that it's his attorney that x. parents are what is a ballpark figure that goes into soon just peanuts i don't even say how much your nipples really never let me know but i know the conditions we've been working. so little. why don't you invest some of your and money. usually i have nothing but debts. i'd be quite happy if what i have in my pockets.

use teaching the not character in the marines key future. not only that stage five bali's. yes. why do you like this office so much well. let me explain the son of a very jealous when i didn't come and possibly even half of the family how would my actress model and when he fell in love with her. hand in marriage under the condition that she'd follow him to the battle for. two and a half years my mother served with my father's cavalry division it was during the war during the war. but when your humble servant was conceived to the rule of cannons in the time came for my mother to give birth i was sent to moscow where i was born. after my birth mother again went to join father

taking me along and we followed the division with the baggage train and thus reached today's a kaliningrad where i grew up. at the. beginning. my father was the military commander after cunningsburgh became kaliningrad and the germans were removed my father was sent for further service to saxony. he grew up in germany two nine hundred fifty eight. my mother well educated person was found of the german romantics. and it was the german dramatics writings. their favorite tales influence in my mind. that you cannot the brothers. grimm brothers to learn not to. in the romantic category while a retail is a cruel. there is little romanticism in them and much fantasy. you handle many productions including as

a theatrical designer. what is your attitude more than music you seem to be a man who'd rather use something composed in our day our age or would you watch. more than music as a stylistic device. that. you know you're not quite tried there because my second marrying skill the magic cannot continue as an elaborate as it were in the not correct. it is its first act at the y. and not cracka became the not correct but it was used of several choreographers to fit it into a tchaikovsky score the most but it was unbearably to think of topher that was illegible in each stood a story of the prince's spittle a part of the story of the magic of not a cracker to what he had decided to make a new scenario and i wrote a new libretto. eve and i lost

a friend of my youth is in a very good we have a hard poser in the positive sense of the word sergei slim's. try to score to my libretto for his wally but the more. trying system some unimaginable sounds and you . simply didn't know it. was like me secured for not writing all the right way. when you were made in appearance you know moscow i mean those with children people started saying that she knocking. supposed to give people education. here really believe in this. are you more soup for you for all the or. he wants. to read that. they would not have been such tyrants.

the truth it's a nice phrase and an interesting one. sometimes say that god can change mankind change some individual people. more interested. but cannot position itself is a sort of messiah. and i don't think of myself as a missionary. i think that we do things that are required by the presence of the science you live in. by society or yourself. but i cannot live without. you know there were times when i was painted at night and worked as a menial work ensuring the time. clearing snow i knew for sure that my paintings would not be exhibited and would not make any money and i could not and still cannot live without it as a real artist. thank you thank you very much and just to remind.
