05.09.2017 I passed by the Reception of the President of the Russian Federation… But I thought it was necessary to come in to express my opinion, to make an offer to RESIGN! I had my passport with me. There was no queue at the ticket vending machine for an appointment - I clicked on the screen, selected a command, entered my details, clicked and received a ticket.
After passing through the frame, I entered the waiting room for an invitation to an appointment. A circular hall with rows at different heights, similar to a circus, only smaller and with sturdy benches. There are several large monitors in a circle, so that the screens opposite and to the side can be seen from different places.
When I saw my full name on the monitor, I took out my phone and turned on the recorder.

Of course, you might think that such a visit to the Reception of the president of your country is a crazy action, but if you consider the phrase "Tyrants take advantage of the silence of good people," if you realize what is happening in Ukraine right now, how many have already died and how many more will die, then you can understand the manifestation of inner foresight, understanding what will lead (and led!) Putin's policy!
Later, I did what I already described, but for the sake of completeness, I'll post it here.:
Viktor Balabanov's speech at the congress of the Union of Cinematographers of the Russian Federation on December 11, 2017, "Nomination for the post of Chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation", in order to openly and publicly invite Putin to Resign - since the congress decided that there would be no more speeches, a "surprise" was already waiting for the delegates: "The tables are set!", and I wanted to to the deputies, colleagues in the cinema, to convey what I said on 05.09.2017 in the Reception of the President of the Russian Federation, suggesting that Putin resign ... (even then I felt that it was IMPOSSIBLE to expect good from him!) - the whole plot can be seen by clicking on this link -

I'll give you another one:

Viktor BALABANOV's proposal to adopt three Resolutions at the XI Congress of the Union of Cinematographers of the Russian Federation on 12/13/2021, where the first one is "On preventing the outbreak and conduct of war with Ukraine..." at 3:46:06 seconds the beginning https://youtu.be/y_hHqYqZ__s The second is about the inadmissibility of closing Memorial, and the third is about the introduction of a new basic income for low-income Russians, so that part of the profits They were credited with funds from the sale of natural resources to their personal accounts... if we accept this project as a law, while allowing all citizens of the former USSR who have accepted Russian citizenship to receive these funds., even if they live in the former Soviet republics, then in this way, through Attention, Care, and in fact through LOVE, it would be possible to "conquer" the entire former USSR without bombs, missiles, or weapons!
I played Lenin with the Polish Director Jerzy Hoffman, who approved me for this role without trial - he saw me in the play "The Cherry Orchard" in Orenburg - I invited him to see firsthand my interpretation of Petya Trofimov's monologue about slavery.: "All of Russia is our garden. The earth is big and beautiful, and there are many wonderful places on it.
Pause.
Think about it, Anya: your grandfather, great-grandfather, and all your ancestors were serfs who owned living souls, and don't human beings look at you from every cherry tree in the garden, from every leaf, from every trunk, don't you hear voices?.. Owning living souls has reborn all of you who have lived before and are now living, so that your mother, you, and uncle no longer notice that you are living in debt, at someone else's expense, at the expense of those people whom you do not let go further than the front... We are at least two hundred years behind, we still have absolutely nothing, there is no definite attitude to the past, we only philosophize, complain of boredom or drink vodka. It's so clear that in order to start living in the present, we must first redeem our past, put an end to it, and it can only be redeemed by suffering, only by extraordinary, continuous work. Understand this, Anya." . And he confirmed what he had told me before, that I was right, making it so that the viewer could hear and UNDERSTAND these words, adding that it is possible to pronounce this monologue even more INTIMATELY!
The fact is that the director of photography staged this scene in such a way that the actor-performer interrupted Chekhov's monologue with his physical actions, and I dropped everything so that the audience COULD HEAR Chekhov!
...I often tell this story to the students I work with so that they understand that our inner Decision affects our future!!! If I had meekly fulfilled the director's task when I was cast for the role of Petya Trofimov, then I would not have asked Maestro Jerzy Hoffman about my violation of the "taboo" of the director - he would not have seen me, I would not have reminded him of myself, he would not have approved me for the role of Lenin, Rauf Kubaev he would not have written the role of the authority who played Lenin in the zone on me!..
And Jerzy Hoffman himself made a film about what and how the Red army did in Poland in 1920 - this is a parallel to the actions of the Russian Federation in Ukraine.
"Bitwa Warszawska 1920" ("The Battle of Warsaw. 1920" ) Directed by Jerzy Hoffman. The movie is in 3D format. 2010. V.I. Lenin. Jerzy Hoffman Film Production Sp. z o. o. https://youtu.be/WZEoqLgyi1U
Maybe because of my political views, I'm on the blacklist. It's because I DON'T GIVE UP!!!
The fact that I was included in the "blacklist" is visible in the list of projects where I have been filming recently... And this is despite the fact that Rauf Kubaev, for whom I played a cool "businessman-bandit" in the TV series "Three Stations", then in the TV series "Where the Motherland begins" of the general of counterintelligence Rukavishnikova, wrote a role for me in the TV series "Crazy Fate" (new title "Working on mistakes"), where my character, the Old authority, played Lenin in the play "Chapai's Dream", staged in the zone!This series has been on the shelf of the TV channel "1" since the spring of 2016! And only in November 2024 was it possible to watch the series on the Internet.…
