Gennady Khazanov About Kurapaty: I Would Never Go To Such Restaurant

The Russian actor has supported the defenders of the tract.

Russian actor Gennady Khazanov is known not only for his parodies, but also for his roles – including his grotesque embodiment of Stalin, Radio Svaboda reports.

He started his assessment of the situation around Kurapaty with the answer to the question – why was what is happening today near the tract impossible three decades ago, when the truth about Bolshevik repressions was revealed to the society?

"All the attempts to "fasten the memory of generations with nails" will bump up against a very strong thing, such as rejection, unwillingness. In an attempt to self-preserve in unknowing.

It seems to people that if they do not know something, then it never happened. It seems to me that this is one of the biggest mistakes.

I cannot prescribe anything to anyone, but I can tell you definitely – I would never go to such a restaurant, under any circumstances! Considering, as they say, the "background" of this whole story, given the number of innocently murdered, whose bodies are there," – Gennady Khazanov said.
