TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak and director Vera Krichevskaya presented in the "Yeltsin Center" a documentary film "The Case of Sobchak". The tape is dedicated to the first mayor of St. Petersburg and the political situation in the country in the 90s - early 2000s. But the main hero in the minds of viewers and critics was still the president of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, who, according to the time-keeping in the film, was only 6 minutes - other heroes decently "outweighed" him. About why the film about Sobchak became a film about Putin, read on JustMedia. en.

Answering a question from a JustMedia correspondent. ru, Ksenia Sobchak denied the accusations of critics and viewers that the film about the first mayor of St. Petersburg turned out to be a tape about Russian President Vladimir Putin. A political journalist said that according to their idea with Vera Krichevskaya, Putin is just one of the eyewitnesses.

"Wherever there is Putin, he is always the main character, and these are films about Putin. At us, just, at all such history. And this is the merit of the Faith, done on the installation so that it is interrupted by other heroes, he interrupts someone. If the film is watched by a man from Australia who does not know who those people are at all and who does not read the translated job titles, Putin will be just one of the guys in this film. We consciously sought this feeling, "Sobchak told the agency's correspondent.

After the press began to speculate about the "pathno-centric film," the daughter of Anatoly Sobchak specifically estimated how much time in the film was taken by the incumbent head of state. In the tape of Vladimir Putin only 6 minutes. For comparison, Anatoly Chubais - 14 minutes.

After the presentation of the film in three cities, Vera Krichevskaya began to analyze the "consciousness of Russian viewers": ".

"An interesting thing happens with our consciousness. Roughly speaking, Putin's screen moment weighs 10 minutes Anatoly Chubais. It really is not so much, nesmortya that he is in the chronicle. But in an amazing way, Putin outweighs ".

At the same time, the director admits that Putin has the right to be in this film more than anyone else, "just in his place in this particular story and knows more than others" (Vladimir Putin was Anatoly Sobchak's assistant,. ed).

Dramaturgically Krichevskaya always "kept in mind a triangle: Putin - Yeltsin - Sobchak.

"For most audiences, it represents the greatest interest. After all, we are trying to understand where he led us. Our spectator interest is strongly concentrated on it, we want to squeeze the maximum out of it and understand. And he, of course, stands out. We are trying to tell about the historical role of Sobchak in the transfer of power from Yeltsin to Putin. But I'm confused by these accusations. They cause a desire to think what happens to us when his minute weighs 10 Kudrin, provisionally speaking, "- Sobchak added the script co-writer and director.

Interview with Putin, according to Sobchak, was one of the most difficult: "We until the end did not know whether he would tell the story with the rescue of the pope (Putin organized the export of Sobchak to France for an operation -. ed) ».

At the same time, the Kremlin agreed without any problems to the "dark room" in which all the characters were shot, and Vladimir Putin, who is usually late for meetings for several hours, came on time.

"We were told how Vladimir Soloviev is waiting for Vladimir Putin to be interviewed for 12 hours. I got ready to wait a long time, brought bags of food. When we entered the Kremlin, we were very relaxed. And then, at 6:15 a man comes to us and says that Vladimir Vladimirovich already on the makeup has a five-minute readiness. It was amusing that he was not late, "Vera Krichevskaya told about the situation.

At the end of the discussion of Putin's role in this film, Ksenia Sobchak suggested that a focus group be set up and a study conducted: "I suggest taking people from Zimbabwe, removing all names and positions and showing them this film. Maybe it just seems so to us, because we live in this world and therefore Vladimir Putin strongly outweighs our consciousness ".

Among Sobchak's important interviews for this film was a conversation with the head of Rosgvardia and ex-bodyguard of her father, Viktor Zolotov.

He confirmed that a group of psychics worked with Boris Yeltsin, who, among other things, prepared his speeches. Among them was Juna.

She also noted a frank conversation with her own mother, who described the details of the "special operation to save Sobchak" and his poor health after the debate with Vladimir Yakovlev.

The film "Sobchak's Case" became the most cash documentary tape, having collected the first day of renting a million rubles. Tape of Leonid Parfenov about Russian Jews - 168 thousand rubles.
