“I am not a traitor to the motherland”: Danila Kozlovsky called Vitaly Borodin’s accusations “false and disgusting” 04/14/2023, 18:50

The honored artist of Russia decided to clarify the dangerous situation in which he found himself. Danila noted that he tries not to react to the negativity that is being spread about him, but now he has made an exception because what is happening is out of line in his opinion.

“A week ago, a statement for Vitaly Borodin’s prosecutor’s office appeared on the network, where he accuses me of “treason” and asks the public prosecutor’s office to check my activities,” explained Kozlovský. – Mr. Borodin’s printer did not stop there and wrote another complaint to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and others “supervisory authority”. After that, many media and telegram channels, without any critical thinking and fact-checking, picked up the fantasies of Mr. Borodin and attributed all the mortal sins to me, practicing their crazy creativity as best they could.

Movie actor “The Crew” assured that he had not left his country anywhere. He pointed out that for the last year (and for the next 15 years before that) he has been appearing on the stage of the St. Petersburg drama theater Malý every month. Danila reminded that his three-year-old daughter Oda-Valentina lives in America with her mother Olga Zueva.

“The fact that I went to the US for a few days between shows does not justify the claim that I am “ran away” from Russia, – said the director of the film “Chernobyl”. “And here we send our heartfelt greetings to Mrs. Poplavská, who was one of the first to decide to take me to “clean water” a whole range of their fakes “revealing” posts, one of which, I must say, she subsequently deleted.

Kozlovsky also denied reports that he was calling meetings and shouting slogans. He explained that these words were heard during the filming of the historical cycle about the revolution, in front of the actors of mass scenes, on the picket stage, when he, as a director, was explaining to them their acting task.

“It’s all in the documentary about the making of the series “Karamora”available on the web,” said Danila. – It’s amazing how you can take a single phrase out of context and expose it for your own base purposes in such a disgusting way. Any reasonable person, after watching the interview, will understand that all the phrases were changed to suit the personal goals of Vitaly Borodin.

The two-time winner of the Golden Eagle and Nika film awards refuted Borodin’s words that he lost money in the United States and came to work in Russia. The artist said that he has no income other than Russian. At the same time, Kozlovsky reminded that he often participates in charity performances. According to Danila, all funds earned from them go to a fund for the treatment of specific children.

The director noted that he carefully read his offender’s channel, where he informs participants about each new complaint. “Mr. Borodin actually uses the tools available to citizens to prevent serious crimes for the sake of his personal PR, simply flooding all regulatory bodies with all possible complaints,” Oksana Akinshina’s beloved man concluded. – Mr. Borodin is simply systematically overloading the law enforcement system, forcing the authorities to work on another complaint against a famous person every week. And Mr. Borodin is doing this in order to increase his popularity on the political stage in such turbulent times. In this regard, my lawyers and I have prepared a statement to the competent authorities with a request to verify the actions of Vitaly Borodin and his FPBC. I consider it wrong in every sense to silence such false and vile allegations.”

Danila was outraged that the activist calls all such actions “patriotism”. The artist assured that writing a report to the prosecutor’s office, inciting hatred on the Internet against famous cultural figures is not patriotism.

“This is madness that will not make anyone’s life better. Look for patriotism in other things. In creation, in help, in mercy, in honesty, even if it is not always pleasant and very difficult. But it is the only way to improve life around you. Or at least try to. It was always important to me to try to do my job well, and this is where I saw my purpose and service. Here in Russia are my teachers, my theater and especially my audience, to whom I am grateful for their support and love. It is important for me to try to do something good, clear and kind. No matter how naive it may sound now. I don’t want to give up, I’m not going to give up and I will continue to work in my country as long as possible. The most important thing in difficult times is to remain human. So let’s be them. We will always have time to slip into final madness, ”Kozlovsky wrote in his Telegram channel.

This week Vitaly Borodin accused Leah Akhedzhak of treason. The public figure also said that Alla Pugacheva can provide financial assistance to the Ukrainian army. The activist turned to the General Prosecutor’s Office with a request to clarify this matter.
