"Now some want the state to be independent, while others – no. There is a constant struggle that affects everyone and, of course, the culture, too … "- says the People's Artist of USSR and Ukraine, the academician, the artistic director of the National Drama them. IV France to Bogdan Stupka. Our meeting with Bogdan Silvestrovich occurred in an environment of two commemorative dates: the anniversary of Ukrainian independence and the anniversary of his own – a famous actor at the end of August to celebrate its 70th anniversary. "Theatre – a small power" – 20 years for the country – this is a serious period, it is possible to sum up the first results and draw conclusions: what's going on where we are going, they have lost and gained … for example, that during this time had come to the Ukrainian cinema? – I do not know what to say. I do not know. But what happens – it's sad. Firstly, how to shoot, where, who? Dovzhenko studio was destroyed. Once upon a time there was created 25 paintings a year. Among them were always perfect 2.1. Now – only a few films, and in those of our actors is difficult to calculate the main roles. Removed most Russian TV series on Russian money. First of power-role distributed among Xia foreign artists. Why all this? No state support of national cinema. And it should be guaranteed the ideology of an independent state. Absolutely! Movies – a great thing for the State. Communists at the time it is very well understood – and the film successfully worked for the communist ideology. Then all at once, somewhere lost. Neither you a Communist or a different ideology … Today, however, authorities are trying to change things for the better, even the law came out, like the Polish, at the box office. According to this law, 1 / 100 of the cash fee for each session should go to fund the movie. This, at first glance, the drop in the ocean, but the total could be a lot of money. Let's see … Second, the business somehow kept out of the movie. Where patrons, where the guardians for the revival of national culture, where entrepreneurs from the cinema at last? No – neither the first nor the second nor the third. Last somehow still do not understand that the film – in addition to art – it is also good business, a financial Klondike. Apparently, representatives of Ukrainian business there are many other challenges and opportunities for the use of their capabilities. – Not much fun. What a feeling exists a theater? – There is just nothing to complain about. By the power of theater is very good. Very. There is an understanding and support. This is good. I say the example of his own theater. Many positive changes. For example, in October we are opening a new small stage where we can do the most unexpected daring experiments. The money is allocated power. – That is not always the ruins? – Obviously L do not like that word. Of course, not everywhere and not all that bad. For example, we set a new good show, we have company – one of the best in Europe. We are developing. But the theater – is also in his own power. Only on a smaller scale. It shows. "Intellectual's time to protect" – What happens to the Ukrainian intelligentsia? Why silent? He's a great deal may depend a great deal from him – he always acted in the community … a tuning fork – What depends on it? He – poor. Beggar. Impoverished completely. Salaries are miserable … Yes, he can write an article or speak somewhere on the radio – but he could not change anything! – Did the artist should not be hungry? Have an intellectual, even having lost his pants, do not have to move something, for something to influence? – Now it is difficult to move. Where? With what tools? Where did he go and who will listen to him? Channels privatized – it everyone has their own ideology. Each channel owner seems to be: the best thing he invented in his life – it is his channel. He admits there who wants it. And the Ukrainian intelligentsia – an actor or a journalist – in front of everyone "pushes" all the deeper. He has no legal protection. On the canals – the dominance of foreign leaders, it is not in any frame will not go. Someone – it is not clear why – said that our homegrown journalists and leading are not able to because the program to gather an audience, as foreigners. Stupidity. Look, those who come from abroad, at home long gone to pot them there, nobody wants to listen! I think Parliament should pass a special law protecting the rights of local artists, presenters and journalists. Intellectuals in general. Then, maybe he will start to influence something. Once in 1994, the year we Ostap (syn. – Ed.) Went to play "Diary of a Madman" on the American scene. So, we had to get permission not only emigration service, but also actors' unions. The fact that we – two non-actor – will be working on there the scene and select a piece of bread with some two American actors. That's right. – On the anniversary of Independence of Ukraine came under stress: political conflicts are fused with social conflicts, this results in a cold war with the society itself … again, as usual in such circumstances, the board raised the language issue risky, the patient was a theme of two cultures – east and west . What should I do? – Nothing. Language barrier and the conflict does not exist – if this or that language says something important, valuable, of course. We had this summer with the theater in Sevastopol. I first asked: "What language do you play?" In Ukrainian, of course, answer. It's the Ukrainian theater. We were there 10 days – and 10days sold out. With a bang! There is no language barrier. And this is – Sevastopol. "Money has never been ALL" – What to do with the conflict, "an official – the people"? Who will win? Is it possible, for example, to fight corruption? – Resist – and will fight. Yes. Here the trouble is what? Corruption in our country when it starts, grows in most of the bone. Then there is a reasonable question: excuse me, but for what and how to fight it, if it is everywhere, it is here, inside straight? See, first began to sell beer on every corner, all in a row. Children and adults went to Kiev and "blew" it's beer, in droves. Now they became a little less – a law introduced. That is, how is it? First, allow, hyping the flywheel, then – are struggling. But this is ridiculous! Why was it allowed? No, not funny – tragic … Everyone is thinking about profits, finances all the congestion. And in what way to obtain these funds, does not matter. Ball ruled a "golden calf". – That is money today – it is really ALL? You think so? – Money has never been ALL. Never. At all times, in society there is a group of people for whom money – this is not the value. And these people will always, I am sure of it. Where do they come? I do not know. Maybe it's upbringing plays a role: home, school … Anyway, they have formed a healthy notion of what is good and what is – evil. – It seems that these concepts in today's world began to change in places … – No, it's impossible. See, a simple indicator: if a person takes the pain of another for himself, so he fights for good. And these people were and will always be – to a greater or lesser extent. – What I would like to tell our readers a day of red calendar days: 24 August? – To gain independence was relatively easy, but keep it turned out to be difficult. Independence now to save. Take care of their land, their country, their power. DOSSIER Bogdan Stupka was born in the Lviv region Kulikov.
