Again about & laquo;Shch-854 & raquo;
On September 23, 2021, the premiere of the film directed by took placeGleb Panfilov & laquo; Ivan Denisovich & raquo; according to the story Alexander Solzhenitsyn “One day of Ivan Denisovich”.
The story, which had the original title & laquo;Sch-854. One day of a convict ” opened the world to the writer Solzhenitsyn, and the topic of political repression as such in Soviet literature.
In a 1982 interview with the BBC, Solzhenitsyn recalled: “It’s absolutely clear: if it wasn’t for Tvardovsky as the editor-in-chief of the magazine, no, this story would not have been published. But I’ll add it. And & nbsp;if it would not have been Khrushchev at that moment, too, it would not have been printed. More: if & nbsp;Khrushchev had not attacked at this very momentStalin another time & nbsp; & mdash; too & nbsp; would not & nbsp;have been printed».
Here we must keep in mind this: Solzhenitsyn himself for two decades has made the way from a talented writer, whose abilities delighted Tvardovsky, to a man whose works, alas, far from historical truth, were actively used by the machine of Western agitprop against the Soviet Union.
For those who are interested in this topic, I address one fact of Alexander Isaevich to the material. Why is Solzhenitsyn a writer, and not a historian?”raquo;, written seven years ago.
By a different path
But in One day of Ivan Denisovich, Solzhenitsyn did not yet rise to historical generalizations, but told about, as one of the critics wrote, the camp through the eyes of a peasant.
For the people who lived in that time, the opportunity to openly talk about the repressions was extremely important, because they, in one way or another, affected many.
But & nbsp;here’s the question & mdash; and & nbsp;who needs & laquo; Ivan Denisovich» in 2021 & nbsp; year? Especially this one, completely redone. As stated by the director Panfilov in an interview with “Kommersant”: “I took a different path and invented my story of Ivan Denisovich based on the motives of the story. And & nbsp;it turned out & mdash;„ Five days of Ivan Denisovich & ldquo;, five key days of his life. Starting with the first one, when on the eve of the 1941 parade on Red Square, he arrived in Moscow to get a new ZIS-3 cannon and deliver it to the part of his battery near Volokolamsk.
Stalin is a fool, he smokes tobacco…
Do you want a serious conversation about that time? You will not wait for Panfilov to twist the barrel for you in the best traditions of the “Light” of the late 1980s. Once again, we have a real hero who became an innocent victim of Soviet tyranny, which is ready to wipe out everyone and everything in the dust of the camp.
It would seem that it has long been established that there was no general accusation of prisoners of war of treason to the Motherland, and those who ended up in the Soviet camp were an absolute minority. Yes, and the GULAG system itself looked different in different years and in different places, and it had nothing to do with the Hitler extermination system.
What about, for example, the fact that the author of “One day of Ivan Denisovich” in this very system of total destruction, which they draw the GULAG, was cured of cancer? How does this fit into the pictures drawn by him himself, and drawn by those who make films based on his works?
Remove & mdash;do not turn the bags
It would be possible, of course, to say that “people will figure it out” themselves. But this is unlikely, because the idols of young people are characters who do not understand much simpler historical issues. If a blogger with almost 19 million subscribers, Ms. Ivleeva does not know in what century he lived and ruled Peter the Great, what is his last name, she does not say anything about the last name Dzhugashvili is it worth it to expect that her fans will have a serious conversation about negativity and positivity in the Soviet era?
In Panfilov’s case, everything is relegated precisely for primitive perception. Here is an inhumane system for you, in which there was nothing good, and here is an innocent martyr. Take the historical picture in this form, and that’s it.
And this is far from the first case of primitivization of history. In the Union of Salvation, the Decembrists were turned into punks trying to destroy the statehood out of hooligan motives, in Zoe, the communists made a Christian martyr, and so on. And this is despite the fact that at theWe, at least officially, are fighting fiercely against attempts to falsify history. But what about the fact that schoolchildren are offered Solzhenitsyn’s works in the program, which is a form of crime to give children without comments and explanations?
The Creator and & laquo;gopniki & raquo;
Panfilov gives out masterpieces of this kind not for the first time. The author of the films«There is no ford in the fire & raquo; and & laquo;The beginning» back in & nbsp;2000 pleased with the saga & laquo;The Romanovs. The crowned family, ” from the amount of oil in which the most recent Russian emperor would have vomited. What does this have to do with a serious understanding of the Romanov tragedy? Well, it’s about the same as a striptease show for pure and immaculate love.
Not everyone knows, but Panfilov was the author of the script in the infamous Mikhalkov’s “Coming” and “Citadel”, which can hardly be considered anything other than an outrage on the history of the Great Patriotic War. That & nbsp;there is for & nbsp;all this trash and & nbsp; fumes & laquo; thank you & raquo; it is necessary to say not & nbsp; only Nikita Sergeevich, but and & nbsp;Gleb Anatolyevich.
Judging by the & nbsp;first reaction of the audience, & laquo;Ivan Denisovich»the public did not like it . But our filmmakers, as you know, do not draw conclusions, preferring to define their critics as “gopnik” and “Stalinists”.
Who will shoot the new “Chapaev”?
By the way, Panfilov was originally going to present “Ivan Denisovich” in May 2020, to the 75th anniversary of the Victory. But the pandemic saved us from such a dubious gift for the holiday.
It seems that the backbone of our cinematic crowd is not ready for changes, the ideological attitudes of the 1990s are firmly seated in the heads of the creators, and this also applies to young directors and screenwriters.
But you can’t bring up patriots with Ivan Denisovich. And if the state is thinking about the future, it is necessary to give young people a product of a completely different quality and ideological content right now.
And the former head of the propaganda and agitation department of the Sverdlovsk City Committee of the Komsomol, communist Gleb Panfilov, cannot be changed in his old age.
