Mikhalkov addressed those interested in his health in a new way

Started a bulletin on Besogon with a blue tick

Few people know how Nikita Mikhalkov, who is in intensive care, really feels. Hence the many rumors that overwhelmed the patience of his inner circle. On behalf of Mikhalkov, an appeal appeared on his Besogon telegram channel, where he thanks everyone for their concern and claims that he now knows the difference between popularity and true love.

From now on, all reliable news about the health of Mikhalkov can be found in the official Besogon telegram channel with a blue tick (as reported). “I want to say that while I remain in the hospital, I continue to undergo examinations and receive the necessary treatment. Sincerely yours, Nikita Mikhalkov. Now all the news from Besogon will be broadcast by the telegram channel of the Union of Cinematographers, whose chairman Nikita Sergeevich has been for almost a quarter of a century.

Mikhalkov has no time to get sick. He has a lot of worries, many positions and areas of activity. In the work of the TRITE studio, which he heads, there are three historical paintings. This is “The Righteous” by Sergei Ursulyak about the feat of the Soviet officer Nikolai Kiselev, who in 1942 led 218 Jews out of the ghetto behind the front line. The film is ready, but it also needs to be promoted. “Kraken” by Alexei Sidorov will tell about the period of the Cold War, when the Soviet submarine has to save the world. The producers are Leonid Vereshchagin and Nikita Mikhalkov. They are also producing the historical drama The Birth of an Empire by Alexei Nuzhny about ten years of the life of Peter the Great, who laid the foundations of the future Russian Empire, from the return of the Great Embassy from Europe to the Battle of Poltava. The studio website reports that Nikita Mikhalkov is currently preparing to shoot his new project “Chocolate Revolver”, but this is a very old story. In addition, together with other studios, Mikhalkov’s company is working on The Wizard of the Emerald City.

Nikita Sergeevich is the rector of the Academy of Cinematographic and Theatrical Arts and back in the fall he conducted an open lesson on the basis of the Russian Cultural Foundation, which he also heads for many years. Mikhalkov periodically speaks to students, tells them about the systems of Stanislavsky, Mikhail Chekhov, Peter Brook, an ideology without which, according to him, the country cannot live. “Everyone must decide for himself: I understand that there was no other way out, or not, I don’t believe in it. From this, a fundamental attitude to life, an attitude to everything and even to the profession is built. After all, what we should do together with you is the search for meaning, ”these are his words at the last master class.

For many years, Mikhalkov has been the president of the Moscow International Film Festival, together with his brother Andrei Konchalovsky, he manages the Foundation for the Preservation of the Cultural Heritage of his ancestor, the artist Pyotr Konchalovsky. He takes care of the needs of the Russian Union of Rightholders, which distributes income from the tax on “blanks” for listening to and viewing audiovisual works, and is also taking steps towards creating a Eurasian analogue of the “Oscar”. At the end of January, his team will be presenting the Golden Eagle film award. There is publishing activity associated with the release of a newspaper and a magazine, Russian archives. This is only part of the intellectual work, but there are other worries associated with the production of wine with a cinematic name from Tuscan grapes, many material worries. But as his studio declares, referring to the words of the outstanding American cinematographer David Wark Griffith, what you receive is the means of subsistence, and what you give is life itself.
