“Zuleikha, spread your buns.” Scandalous embarrassment on the main button
The premiere of the television series “Zuleikha Opens Her Eyes” on the Rossiya-1 channel turns into a huge scandal.
Deputy of the State Duma of the XNUMXnd convocation, Secretary of the Central Committee of the United Communist Party Daria Mitina writes about this on her Facebook page.
“It looks like it’s time to rename the series “Zuleikha Spreads Her Legs” to “Zuleikha, Spread Your Buns!” The scandal has taken a new turn, and someone will definitely have to push their buns,” the politician notes.
“Meticulous and disdainful viewers, those who were strong enough not to quit watching after the first episode, paid attention to the enchanting episode of the roll call of exiles, which is carried out by the bloody security officers before sending the unfortunate arrested Tatars to be eaten alive by the bloody Stalin. The big-faced NKVD member shouts out the prisoner’s first and last name, and the prisoners obediently answer from the crowd “I am!” In the film it goes like this:
- Tajuddin Talgat! - I! (for those who don’t know, Talgat Tadzhuddin is the Supreme Mufti of the Russian Federation)
- Gainutdin Ravil! - I! (Ravil Gainutdin - Chairman of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Russian Federation).
– Marjani Shigabutdin! - I! (Shigabutdin Marjani - the largest Tatar theologian of the 19th century, mukhtasib of Kazan, imam of the first Kazan mosque)
- Idrisov Umar! - I! (Umar Idrisov - first chairman of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Nizhny Novgorod Region)
- Ponchaev Zhafyar! - I! (Zhafyar Ponchaev - former chairman of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of St. Petersburg)
- Gabdrakhimov Gabdessalam! - I! (Gabdessalyam Gabdrakhimov - a prominent Orenburg mufti of the 19th century)
- Sultanov Mukhamedyar! - I! (Mukhamedyar Sultanov is also a prominent Orenburg mufti of the 19th century)
The Russian muftiate, which became an involuntary ally of the communists, could not tolerate such blasphemy. Mufti Albir Krganov, a member of the Public Chamber, sent indignant letters to the Government and Dobrodeev, requesting an explanation.
The crap producer babbled that “the props artists (!!!) were simply looking for popular Tatar names to create this scene.” Their props artists write scripts, and you are surprised. In general, we'll see who will have to push the buns apart in the end. The bastards turned out to be distinguished,” Mitina sums up.
Appeals from the Mufti of the Spiritual Assembly of Muslims of Russia, Albir Krganov, to the head of the Federal Agency for Nationalities Affairs, Igor Barinov , and the general director of the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company "Russia," Oleg Dobrodeev.
Let us remind you that the series was based on the novel of the same name by writer Guzel Yakhina. It is noteworthy that a number of famous actors of Tatar origin refused to participate in the filming, considering the script offensive.
“We are being insulted, but should we participate in this?” – the actress of the Kamalovsky Theater, Honored Artist of Tatarstan Milyausha Shaikhutdinova explained her refusal.
“No matter how you look at it, the book still contains a distorted image of the Tatar nation. This is not a work that elevates the Tatars,” says People’s Artist of Tatarstan Aidar Khafizov, who was offered the role of the mullah, and who refused to participate in the casting.
A sex scene in a mosque caused indignation in Tatarstan, to which Irina Smirnova, the producer of the Russkoe film company that shot the series, responded.
“I heard that residents of Tatarstan have many complaints about how we dared to film a sex scene in a mosque. We filmed it to show the degradation of the morality of the Bolshevik system, that the Soviet government treated both the Muslim and Orthodox faiths in a derogatory manner. And not in order to add spice to the series or, God forbid, to offend the feelings of believers,” Smirnova said.
This explanation puzzled historian Alexander Dyukov.
“That is, the Soviet government forced dispossessed people to fuck in mosques. Frankly, I have never seen such revelations before,” the historian sarcastically notes in his blog.
Now, actress Chulpan Khamatova, who played the main role, who previously stated that she hates and cannot be proud of the Great Patriotic War, since she equally sympathizes with the suffering of both the Russian people and the German soldier, complained that after the release of “Zuleikha” she received a lot of angry responses.
“I am now receiving so many curses and so many insults for this series because I don’t love my homeland, because I am desecrating the memory of my homeland. This means not only Tatarstan, but also the history of modern Russia,” the actress laments.
Some critics argue that the original source (book) was not bad, but the series turned out to be worthless. True, the famous Russian writer Yuri Polyakov criticized the novel, which was favored by awards and literary critics, immediately after its release.
“For example, the debut book “Zuleikha Opens Her Eyes,” which received the main prize of the Big Book last year. This is ridiculous! The heroine is an illiterate Tatar woman who lives almost at the level of biological instincts, at which point she looks at the map and sees on it a disgusting pink creature (Soviet Union), which is stretching its tentacles towards her...
Sorry, what card are we talking about? This is an illiterate woman! She doesn’t even know where Russia is. But the author doesn’t care about artistry, she just had to express her negative attitude towards the USSR... For what? Dear comrade Tatars, you received statehood within the USSR. In the tsarist empire, the Tatars did not have it; they lost it under Ivan the Terrible and existed only as a Muslim denomination. And these are the books that receive awards. They are helpless,” the writer said in an interview
He recalled that at one time he even left the academicians of the Big Book Prize. At the same time, he noted that there really is wonderful literature in Russia.
“Why is the wonderful Mikhail Tarkovsky never included in the shortlists? Because he has no hatred for his native country? This is a problem that is awkward to talk about outside of Russia, but I don’t want to hide it from you either. And remember - if you see a book in a store with the mark “Big Book”, this does not mean that it is a book at all!” Polyakov said.
By the way, the other day he refused an invitation from the Russia-1 TV channel to take part in a special broadcast dedicated to “Zuleikha.”
“For the sake of the filmed Russophobic graphomania, which there is nothing to talk about, I will not break the blessed self-isolation,” Polyakov said on his Facebook.
In turn, Sevastopol writer Platon Besedin explained the algorithm for promoting a novel.
“Zuleikha” is a story not just of abomination, but of deliberate sabotage and betrayal. The success story of “Zuleikha” is part of a single political campaign, and this rubbish, written by a mediocre writer, has nothing to do with literature.
Miracle, what a miracle! After which this book begins to be sold to foreigners - after all, it is the same spreading and cliched cranberry as Balagov’s films, for example. And here is the series. For impressionable housewives. All target groups are covered. Bravo! In addition, in addition to the ideological content, there is also a “soapy” component. That’s why the aunts are touched by the story of the unfortunate Zuleikha. The perfect cocktail, just perfect,” Besedin wrote on his blog.
According to him, the Soviet era was very different - “both beautiful and dirty, but Zuleikhas will only talk about dirt” and “damned evil Russians who are always to blame for everything”
“And the problem here – and the complaint – is not a mediocre writer. No, the problem is in the machine that consciously and deliberately spun it to smear the black past, to present certain groups as non-humans, to show what abomination we have lived in and what abomination we are going into. That's what it's made for. And it’s even somehow insulting that this propaganda was done completely incompetently and predictably. As a craft for labor lessons.
But the fact that this abomination is being shown now, when civil tolerance is already reeling from well-known troubles, is a deliberate sabotage. Another deliberate sabotage on the eve of Victory Day. Zuleikhas want blood. Zuleikhas demand revenge. Zuleikhas open the doors of hell - petty, cowardly, deceitful, but no less dangerous. And yes, we remember that the devil is the father of lies. He’s here, looking from the screen, disguised as another unfortunate woman,” the writer concludes.
