00:00:19And continuing a little bit the topic of choice,
00:00:23the topic of voting, I would like to talk about
00:00:26responsibility,
00:00:30It concerns my long-standing initiative to return
00:00:33the monument to Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin to its original place, to the
00:00:37place where it was installed and where it was unveiled. This
00:00:40was my rather old initiative,
00:00:44which I put forward, the city
00:00:47hall refused me, and I
00:00:50could understand this, because there are some plans,
00:00:54there is its own urban planning policy, so I had
00:00:58no objections.
00:01:00I had no objections to this refusal, well, they refused, they refused, but
00:01:03after I think,
00:01:06two or three years I was approached with
00:01:09a question: is it true that I proposed to move the Pushkin
00:01:13monument to the other side of Tverskaya
00:01:16Street, I answered that it was true, it happened, they
00:01:19asked me if I could argue it,
00:01:23I said that yes, I can, and I argued it, on
00:01:27August 28, 2026, on the
00:01:30Moscow City Hall portal a test electronic
00:01:34vote was launched, people who voted, read
00:01:37this:
00:01:40should the monument to A.S. Pushkin be
00:01:44returned to its historical place on Tverskoy
00:01:47Boulevard, in honor of whose opening
00:01:50the famous speech by Fyodor Mikhailovich
00:01:53Dostoevsky was given, about the role of the poet in
00:01:57the unification of Russia.
00:02:30there were quite a lot of all kinds of comments,
00:02:33sometimes stupid, naive, someone wrote
00:02:37that Mikhalkov had gone crazy, that he wanted
00:02:39to clear the way for the red carpet
00:02:42of the festival, well, and so on and so forth, I honestly
00:02:46tell you, I don't want to be an empty projector
00:02:49who says something into the air, and waits
00:02:52for a reaction, so I would like people to hear
00:02:56really that argumentation that I used when...
00:03:00proposed to move the monument to its
00:03:03original place, the fact is that the monument to our great
00:03:06poet Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin,
00:03:10was installed on Strastnaya, now Pushkin
00:03:13Square, facing Strastnoy Monastery.
00:03:17At the solemn opening of this monument,
00:03:20on June 6, 1880,
00:03:24among other famous guests
00:03:28Fyodor Mikhailovich was present.
00:03:31who then delivered the famous Pushkin
00:03:34speech, where he particularly emphasized: if there
00:03:38were no Pushkin, perhaps our faith in our Russian
00:03:41independence, our conscious
00:03:45hope now for our
00:03:47national strength, and then also faith in
00:03:51the coming independent destiny,
00:03:55would not have been defined with such unwavering
00:03:58force. The Pushkin monument was erected... facing Strastnoy
00:04:01Monastery, founded in
00:04:031654. In
00:04:061937 the monastery was
00:04:09destroyed, in 1950
00:04:12as part of the reconstruction of Moscow, a decision
00:04:16was made to move the Pushkin monument to the site
00:04:19of the demolished bell tower of that very Strastnoy
00:04:22Monastery, which in my opinion, to put it mildly, is not
00:04:26very correct. I am convinced that Alexander
00:04:30himself would have been indignant that his monument was placed
00:04:33on the site of a demolished monastery. Therefore,
00:04:36moving the monument to its original place
00:04:39would signify the restoration of historical justice
00:04:44and the calming of the soul of the great genius
00:04:47who wrote such lines. Two feelings
00:04:50are wonderfully close to us, in them the heart finds
00:04:54nourishment, love for the native
00:04:57ashes, love for the fatherland.
00:05:02It seems to me that if we approach
00:05:06this issue seriously, then perhaps it would make sense not
00:05:10to organize.
00:06:42because it somehow
00:06:45concerns me personally. The fact is that
00:06:48on the site of our theater, Nikita Mikhalkov's
00:06:51Workshop 12, a church once stood.
00:06:55It was built in 1640.
00:06:58The Church of the Nativity of Christ. It
00:07:02was wooden. In 1693
00:07:06it was rebuilt into a stone one. When
00:07:09Lermontov lived on Povarskaya with his grandmother.
00:07:13this was his parish church. In
00:07:151931, the church was demolished
00:07:18by the Bolsheviks. Almost 100 years after
00:07:21the temple was destroyed, we
00:07:24decided to restore justice. And next to
00:07:27the theater, almost in the same place, we
00:07:31decided to build a church, also the Church of the Nativity
00:07:34of Christ. With the blessing of the Patriarch of Moscow and All
00:07:38Russia Kirill, on September 17 of this
00:07:41year, Metropolitan.
00:09:12with our own hands we undermine
00:09:15from within
00:09:17this spirit, this very unwavering faith
00:09:21in our independence, which Fyodor
00:10:13despite the fact that the whole newspaper is in Russian, then
00:10:17for whom is this, does this bring us closer to the civilized
00:10:21world, well, tell me, how does this relate to the fact that...
00:10:25both the leadership of Karelia and the residents of Karelia
00:10:29claim that this is Russian land, historically
00:10:32Russian land. Why do marketers
00:10:35assume that writing the name
00:10:38of the newspaper in such a font and putting it in each
00:10:42hotel room of the Frigate, will
00:10:45give a feeling of Europeanism,
00:10:48of closeness to the civilized world,
00:10:52it seems like a trifle, doesn't it?
00:10:55No, the devil is in
00:10:57the details, this is not a trifle, in this
00:11:01lies the answer to many questions that concern
00:11:04us, isn't this trifle related to another, seemingly
00:11:06trifle, when
00:11:09the world-famous hockey player Alexander
00:11:12Ovechkin says in his interview
00:11:15this:
00:11:20Russian, you heard, I'm Russian, how is this
00:11:23translated, I am Russian?
00:12:55also uses what he has developed in our
00:12:59country, against our own country, remember
00:13:03a fragment from one of our
00:13:05Besagon shows: listen to what journalist Trofim
00:13:08Tatarinkov says,
00:13:12a comrade with his gang is going
00:13:15to leave our country, not just
00:13:18leave, but leave with a scandal, with some howls and tones, taking
00:13:22with him some company that will then
00:13:25materialize in France under the name Newbius, and
00:13:28what was lost? A very small, small
00:13:31trifle was lost, this is artificial intelligence,
00:13:34this is the artificial intelligence system Neobius, precisely at the moment when
00:13:38we really need it, when they
00:13:41left us Chinese Alice, Chinese in terms of hardware,
00:13:45it is Chinese, in terms of filling, which is the most interesting thing, it is
00:13:49also Chinese, this is our most natural, developed by our
00:13:52brains artificial intelligence Neobius which was... reported by comrade
00:13:56Macron, as a French achievement.
00:14:00We read a recent news: the company of the founder
00:14:04of Yandex became a partner of the supplier
00:14:07of artificial intelligence for the Pentagon. Arkady Volozh's
00:14:11company Nebius will unite
00:14:15forces with Palantir for providing
00:14:19clients with a complete set of tools for
00:14:22creating their own model
00:14:26of artificial intelligence, that is,
00:14:29Arkady Volozh will cooperate with an absolutely
00:14:33unprincipled organization on
00:14:36whose hands are the murder of children in a college dormitory in Starobelsk,
00:14:39the destruction of 150 girls in
00:14:43the Iranian city of Minav, given that Volozh
00:14:46for 30 years was at the helm of the entire
00:14:49information infrastructure of modern
00:14:52Russia, it cannot be that... combat
00:14:55drones fly all over the territory of our country,
00:14:59blowing up warehouses, factories, oil refineries, killing
00:15:02people, precisely thanks to the assistance
00:15:06of the former head of Yandex. And who can
00:15:09confirm that this Volozh through his old connections
00:15:12does not have access to Yandex systems
00:15:16today? And suddenly it turns out that since at least
00:15:182015, Mr. Volozh
00:15:22has permanently resided in Israel,
00:15:25continuing to receive benefits, subsidies
00:15:28and all sorts of advantages related to business in
00:15:31Russia, so when we ask,
00:15:34surely no one saw, understood...
00:15:37did not know, but the answer is obvious, and they
00:15:41knew, understood, and
00:15:43saw, and so what?
00:15:46Nothing. Well, for example,
00:15:49a surprising situation. There is such
00:15:52a famous Perm human rights activist and public
00:15:56figure, Igor Overkiev. Here
00:15:59he writes on his social networks, this is absolutely
00:16:03public information, so to speak, there is nothing
00:16:06secret.
00:17:07Chairman of the Permanent Commission for
00:17:10the Development of Civil Society Institutions of the
00:17:14Council under the President of the Russian Federation for
00:17:17the Development of Civil Society and
00:17:21Human Rights, as well as the Director of the
00:17:25Center for Civil Analysis and
00:17:28Independent Research "Grani"
00:17:31in Perm, whose projects
00:17:34regularly become winners of competitions.
00:19:38led by Yulia Navalnaya, which
00:19:42took place in Vilnius in 2025.
00:19:4566 specialists
00:19:47participated in the event. So, who was there?
00:19:51There was Leonid Volkov, Ilya
00:19:54Yashin, Tamara Edelman,
00:19:58Michael Naki, Konstantin Ssonin
00:20:02and other, other bright faces. Here is their
00:20:04program. I will dwell on... let's say, fundamental
00:20:08things. For example, how the army reform
00:20:11will happen. The military doctrine is
00:20:15defensive in nature. The use of armed forces
00:20:19outside of Russia is legally
00:20:22prohibited. Exceptions may
00:20:25be cases where military presence
00:20:28is required in accordance with international
00:20:31agreements. Compulsory conscription
00:20:34is abolished. A serviceman has the status of
00:20:37a citizen in military uniform, that is,
00:20:41around us are NATO bases, and we
00:20:44don't even have soldiers and we don't even have training, we have
00:20:48a military citizen.
00:20:51That's fine, and we can only fight if
00:20:54the hegemon orders us
00:20:58to fight against someone,
00:21:02against whom the hegemon incites us,
00:21:05excellent, for Russia,
00:21:08fine, next, reform
00:21:11of law enforcement agencies and special services,
00:21:15liquidate the FSB of Russia and distribute its
00:21:19powers.
00:24:20or Babi Yar, in which Germans were helped
00:24:23by Ukrainian police from the UN wing. The lies
00:24:26of these media are dictated by the fact that
00:24:29they are sponsored by precisely those countries that
00:24:33constantly reproach us
00:24:36for the Molotov Ribbentrop Pact, never
00:24:40mentioning that it was a necessity,
00:24:44a forced necessity, which the Soviet
00:24:47Union went for, which Stalin went for in...
