In the movie, an unnamed narrator wanders from room to room, encountering real and fictional characters from various periods in St. Petersburg\u2019s 300-year history. On December 9, 2021, during a virtual meeting between Vladimir Putin and the Presidential Human Rights Council, the same filmmaker offered another sweeping look at Russia, this time in just 15 minutes. Sokurov warned the president that the nation faces a constitutional crisis, suggesting that Moscow should permit certain regions of the country to leave the Russian Federation. Putin denounced the remarks, accusing Sokurov of wanting (\u201clike they do in NATO\u201d) to take Russia backwards to its days as a small principality.<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD  SimpleBlock-module_center__2rjif\">When he gets the chance to talk to Vladimir Putin, Alexander Sokurov is not shy about speaking his mind. During a December 2016 meeting of the Council for Culture and Arts, he asked the president to reconsider the terrorism conviction of Ukrainian filmmaker Oleh Sentsov. (Putin refused to intervene, but Sentsov was ultimately sent home to Ukraine in a prisoner swap in 2019.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD  SimpleBlock-module_center__2rjif\">On December 9, 2021, Sokurov unleashed what Putin would describe as \u201cnot a speech but a manifesto \u2014 a stack of problems and a heap of fears.\u201d Sokurov began with comments about Russia\u2019s \u201cdeeply troubled foreign policy,\u201d noting that Belarus, South Ossetia, and Abkhazia are all drags on the federal budget, not unlike Russia\u2019s own southern regions, which draw major subsidies, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD  SimpleBlock-module_center__2rjif\">Sokurov acknowledged that significant spending is needed to keep Russia strong, but he argued that these resources should be allocated to defend people\u2019s \u201cconstitutional interests.\u201d He then focused specifically on the small town of Luzhitsy (west of St. Petersburg) and its struggling indigenous community. \u201cWe\u2019re still in a kind of constitutional crisis: the text says one thing and we\u2019re living something else,\u201d Sokurov told President Putin, describing the supposed breakdown of Russia\u2019s \u201cfederal national Constitution\u201d: \u201cThe Bolshevik authorities put all their eggs in one basket and what hatched was chickens, eagles, ostriches, cats, and God knows what else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD  SimpleBlock-module_center__2rjif\">In the North Caucasus, he explained, Russia has a problem that is all at once \u201cpolitical, cultural, emotional, and economic.\u201d During the Soviet era, he said, ethnic Russians\u2019 dominance restricted opportunities for development. Today, most ethnic Russians have left and the republics in the North Caucasus are nearly \u201cmonoethnic.\u201d \u201cAll authority is in the hands of the indigenous peoples,\u201d said Sokurov, adding that he blames the underdevelopment of young people for the lack of progress in the region now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD  SimpleBlock-module_center__2rjif\">This concentration of political power and the decline in ethnic diversity threaten Russia\u2019s \u201cbasic republican foundations,\u201d Sokurov told Putin, recalling how \u201clobbyists of the Chechen sector\u201d enlisted Moscow\u2019s support in the persecution of Ingush community leaders who organized protests two years ago against a controversial agreement that ceded territory to the Chechen Republic. \u201cMany want to part from us,\u201d the filmmaker declared, claiming that the people of the North Caucasus likely wouldn\u2019t fight alongside Russians even in a hypothetical war with NATO.<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD  SimpleBlock-module_center__2rjif\">Sokurov\u2019s \u201cheap of fears\u201d didn\u2019t end there; he went on to decry the \u201cpoliticization of life\u201d in Russia, arguing that formal politics has become apolitical while policing and national defense have moved in the opposite direction. \u201cThere\u2019s uncertainty about the separation of church and state,\u201d he said, adding that Russia also faces a looming \u201cIslamic revolution\u201d that \u201ccan be prevented but not defeated.\u201d The country also needs to revive its labor unions, its officer assemblies, and its civil defense services!<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD  SimpleBlock-module_center__2rjif\">Additionally, the Russian authorities have failed to inspire the public\u2019s faith during the coronavirus pandemic, which is just a \u201cpreliminary test\u201d of the mobilization capacity needed to address the climate crisis. Apparently alluding to the persecution of opposition activists, Sokurov asked, \u201cAre we really going to meet the climate threat by chasing down the young people across this country who have found their conscience and collective outrage?\u201d \u201cWe need an active, strong opposition across the political spectrum,\u201d he told the president, also stressing the need to abolish state censorship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD  SimpleBlock-module_center__2rjif\">Before concluding with a bit of pacifism (\u201cRussia should not go to war except to defend\u201d) and another plug for jettisoning \u201ceveryone who no longer wants to live with us in the same state,\u201d Sokurov recalled Irina Savina, the journalist in Nizhny Novgorod who self-immolated after years of police harassment, and also asked Putin to intervene on behalf of imprisoned human rights activist Yuri Dmitriev and politician Maxim Reznik, who\u2019s now under investigation for alleged drug-related crimes.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"SimpleBlock-module_h3__2Kv7Y  SimpleBlock-module_center__2rjif\"><strong>Vladimir Putin\u2019s response<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD  SimpleBlock-module_center__2rjif\">\u201cSome things it\u2019s better to say directly and some things it\u2019s better not to say at all,\u201d President Putin told Sokurov, objecting to the filmmaker\u2019s portrayal of Russia\u2019s allies as freeloaders. In defense of Belarus, he said Sakurov\u2019s remarks \u201cdisrespect the entire people and the whole country, which is part of our Union State.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD  SimpleBlock-module_center__2rjif\">\u201cMr. Sokurov, sir, do you want a repeat of Yugoslavia on our territory?\u201d Putin asked, explaining that \u201cthe vast majority of people [in Russia] understand what they\u2019ll face [if they try to secede], and the Chechen people know it better than anyone else in the North Caucasus.\u201d It would be disastrous, the president warned, to try to tackle the thousands of territorial disputes that exist in Russia today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD  SimpleBlock-module_center__2rjif\">\u201cAs the saying goes, let sleeping dogs lie,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"DonatesTeaser-module_title__hs-yr\">Meduza is working for you And we need your support<\/h3>\n<p>Okay!<\/p>\n<p class=\"MaterialNote-module_note_caption__1ezSo\"><strong>Kevin Rothrock<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--noindex--><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/meduza.io\/en\/feature\/2021\/12\/11\/a-stack-of-problems-and-a-heap-of-fears\">Source<\/a><!--\/noindex--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valery Sharifulin \/ TASS About 20 years ago, Alexander Sokurov directed a film set in the Winter Palace of the Russian State Hermitage Museum, recorded on location and in a one-take single 96-minute sequence shot.
