Russian actor: “Children in the Moscow region haven’t named a single Russian hero”
Russian children are brought up exclusively on foreign films and cartoons.
People's Artist of Russia, actor Andrei Sokolov said this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I am the co-chairman of the All-Russian Popular Front of the Moscow region. Before the pandemic, we held a children's film festival. Full hall, schoolchildren from 7 to 15 years old. I ask: “Guys, if we were making a movie now, who would you like to see as the main character?”
I thought they would now call one of ours. No. Not a single Russian hero was named. They didn’t even remember about Baba Yaga. Some supermen are American and Japanese. When I asked who they would like to make a cartoon about, it was the same story. And this is a problem. Our children absorb other people's heroes and other people's culture with their mother's milk. What does this mean? A disaster!” Sokolov said in an interview with Izvestia.
He also agrees that among artists and in show business the word “patriot” is spoken in a whisper, and many of them are embarrassed to love their homeland.
“Well, it’s your own fault, sorry. What were you waiting for? I see absolutely nothing unexpected in this. It's predictable. What we sow is what we reap. For many years this was encouraged. Sooner or later it had to work. This is the same situation as with cinema for our children; systematic work was carried out. We received candy from the Soros as grants. Free cheese is only in a mousetrap. “You had to think,” the actor concluded.
