“I am accused of all mortal sins”: Yulia Peresild said that she was stalked by cosmonaut Yurchikhin 04/20/2023, 12:20

One of the most anticipated films of the year was released today. Yulia Peresild played the main role in the drama “Challenge”. For filming, she flew into space in the fall of 2021, where she stayed for 12 days. Today, the movie star released a video shot on the ISS.

Premiere of “The Challenge”! said Peresild. – Congratulations to all of us! Thanks again to everyone who was with us! Weightlessness! How I missed you! According to this condition – escape! The audience is loved, good watching!”

On the eve of the premiere, a scandal broke out. Pilot-cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin spoke out against awarding the title of Hero of Russia to Yulia. He also expressed displeasure that the film was made at public expense. He was supported by several other astronauts. The honored artist of Russia turned to these enemies.

“Dear cosmonauts, personally Fyodor Nikolayevich Yurchichin and others, stop bothering me,” asked Julia. – For the Heroes of Russia, for the second year in a row, it is inappropriate to undeservedly accuse a woman of all mortal sins. I am not asking for anything, I am not applying for any titles. I’m just happy that I managed to adequately fulfill my duty, honestly prepare for 3.5 months, fly and do everything to make this film. Most importantly, my respect for you and admiration for your deeds is immeasurable, and even the countless nasty things you say about me will not change my attitude towards you.

Peresild also kept a direct line with fans on the social network. One of the questions offended her. “They say your husband is an oligarch, that he paid for the flight and the filming,” she read.

The mother of two girls, whom she gave birth to from director Alexej Učitel, spoke emotionally about the soreness. “I’m not a feminist at all, but I just don’t understand why in our country, if a man is successful, then he’s cool. And if a woman achieves success, then it means that behind her is some cool dude who organized it all for her. I am very sorry. Frankly speaking. Because of course it isn’t. Nobody organized anything for me. It’s a pity that they are never given the credit of women. This has to change!”

Many cultural figures criticized this expensive film experiment even before the flight. “I didn’t take these accusations seriously,” assured director Klim Shipenko. – But a joke was inserted into the film about this – after all, there were such conversations in reality. But now after the premiere, the response to the film is very good. And it is also important and pleasant that we are the first.”

He admitted that his colleagues were also jealous. “I really felt less. But it’s normal. I would also be jealous, “said Shipenko in an interview with AiF.
