Ksenia Sobchak in her The Telegram channel decided to discuss the significance of the possible death of film director Nikita Mikhalkov for domestic culture.
She wrote that Nikita Sergeevich is the only cultural figure who has long-term and direct contact with the president of the Russian Federation. According to Sobchak, Putin learned about the most important cultural events through Michalkov. At the same time, the film director has many close people in various fields, as the TV presenter assures – “the whole system is now built for Nikita Sergeevich.”
According to Sobchak, for many famous people, including Lyubimova, Burlyayev and others, Mikhalkov's departure will have the consequences of Stalin's death. This means that without Mikhalkov, access to the first person of the state will be closed. At the same time, she does not see which of the cultural figures could take the place of an important film director.
The TV presenter also specifically noted that she only wishes Michalkov health and longevity, but in the current situation there are questions that “it is not possible don't think”.
Sobchak's reasoning provoked a mixed reaction. Journalist Mikhail Shakhnazarov called her “just a monster and a demon.”
