I'm a human being, for now, alive, loving, caring. In his 58 years, he has always tried to take the side of the offended, especially when they were treated unfairly! It started in childhood, when a neighbor harassed us - children, in the yard - I explained to him his unfair demands... At school, he showed active opposition through words and beliefs against the unfair demands of the school principal to stop physical education lessons and go to the yard to load coal into the boiler room. I wasn't deterred by the threat of not giving our graduating class their school graduation certificates. We did not go out to load coal, but we were required to apologize to the director - we did not agree to this either. The only thing that convinced me was that the homeroom teacher asked us to do this just for her sake - after all, we have to leave, and she still has to work at this school under the guidance of this director - and so that the INJUSTICE WOULD NOT MANIFEST ITSELF AGAINST a PARTICULAR PERSON, we went and apologized! Later, at the factory, I sided with the usually hooligan three guys, to whom, in the last, specific case, UNFAIR demands were made - as a result, I myself suffered from INJUSTICE... I had to quit my job on principle, so as not to be dependent on unfair management - it was impossible to fight there - a regime-controlled, closed factory...
It was possible to defend Justice in theaters - it only affected the distribution of roles - I got the worst, but I COULD play! After all, there are no SMALL roles - there are SMALL actors! And a big actor will play a small role in a way that NO ONE else can! In this regard, I saw all the adversities as an opportunity to once again TEMPER my character, TAKE MY LIFE EXPERIENCE INTO my BAGGAGE, SO THAT I WOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY TO the VIEWER (who sometimes experiences even more tragic moments...)!
I read the Sukhovo-Kobylin Case... What AN INJUSTICE! It was there then, in tsarist times - officials ALSO took away a business from a hard worker, started a "case" to "justify" their own INJUSTICE! Read it!

...I am a Russian, I was born here, my ancestors are here, my children and grandchildren are descendants here... What is their life like? Current, future? What will I leave them? I, who have played more than 100 roles in the theater, 85 in the cinema (of different calibers): Lenin, Jerzy Hoffman (in 3D!), Molotov, Svyatoslav Richter, A.N. Ostrovsky, Georgy Zhukov, Nikita Khrushchev - I wander around rented apartments, unable to properly, on time, fully PAY for housing! In a normal country, an artist of this level would have his own place in different parts of the world! And here? I understand that my situation is a reflection of REALITY in Russia - where INJUSTICE REIGNS! It COMES from POWER!
It pains my soul to imagine the suffering of Khodorkovsky's children, wife, and parents!.. What feelings he has himself!.. And this is happening IN FRONT OF ME - IN MY COUNTRY!.. Is INJUSTICE AN ETERNAL NOOSE OVER Russia?
Will Khodorkovsky be convicted again?! I DON'T WANT TO LIVE in SUCH A Russia! I am ready to burn myself from the IMPOSSIBILITY of CHANGING anything in Russia! Power - COME TO YOUR SENSES! This is not the fate of ONE PERSON - the fate of the COUNTRY is being decided!
...It was written a long time ago... Now I'm changing the message.: It IS NECESSARY and POSSIBLE to CHANGE: by joining the Russian United Democratic Party Yabloko by the millions!
