approved by the Jewish community scandalous dance Navka about the Holocaust, and the chief rabbi of Moscow expressed doubt

In a speech by Tatyana Navka and Andrey Burkovsky with a number about the Holocaust on television show"Ice Age" is not offensive, Mark Grubarg, chairman of the St. Petersburg Jewish community, told Baltika FM.

According to him, some bloggers and journalists artificially "inflated the story" on the topic of insulting feelings after watching the ice show. The speech by Navka and Burkovsky gave another reason to remember the Holocaust and comprehend the lessons of the past, the head of the community is sure.

“Many are outraged that they are trying to talk about the Holocaust in the language of the show. But after all, a lot is devoted to the topic of the Holocaust. great films. Why is the movie allowed and the show not? Is it worth labeling any genre?” Grubarg was indignant.

All works of art without mockery and deliberate humiliation of this or that community have the right to exist, says the chairman of the Jewish community. In his opinion, whether the show of Navka and Burkovsky meets the criteria of good taste will become clear after some time.

As explained in the organization, the scandalous dance was conceived as a work of love, faith and victory over hard reality. “And to everyone who breaks spears on the topic of insulting Jews, I advise you to come to the synagogue to seriously study Judaism and the history of the Holocaust,” Grubarg added.

In turn, the Chief Rabbi of Moscow, President of the Council of Rabbis of Europe, Pinchas Goldschmidt, did not approve of the performance of the wife of press secretary Dmitry Peskov in the Ice Age show as a prisoner of Auschwitz.

In his opinion, Tatyana Navka and her dance partner Andrei Burkovsky should have consulted with relatives of Nazi concentration camp prisoners before staging a dance about the Holocaust.

“Many people liked it, but many people were touched by the dance. The Holocaust and everything connected with it is too big a wound. She won't be alive soon. There are almost no Jewish families in which none of the ancestors suffered from Nazism, would not wear yellow stars, as on the costumes of figure skaters, ”TASS quotes the rabbi.

According to Goldschmidt, the creators of the dance number needed to take care of the feelings of the victims' families and consult with them first. The Chief Rabbi of Moscow expressed the hope that the directors wanted to convey the will to live and best hopes concentration camp prisoners.

“Probably, the intentions were good, but every nation has its own pain, and we must try not to hurt the living. I would not like to see anti-Semitism here,” Goldschmidt said.

Ilya Averbukh accused the Western media of inciting hysteria: they confused Navka with Tatmyanina

Meanwhile, figure skater and producer Ilya Averbukh called it wild how foreign media report news about the dance of Tatyana Navka and actor Andrei Burkovsky in the images of Auschwitz prisoners in the Ice Age show, writes Lenta.ru.

“Savagery that this can be discussed at all. Wildness is in everything - in the presentation, in hysteria, in unprofessionalism, which can be seen in the articles of foreign media, ”Averbukh believes.

As an example, he cited an article in the British Daily Mail, who confused Navka with another Olympic champion in figure skating - Tatyana Totmyanina. In the published picture, Totmyanina stands next to Russian President Vladimir Putin, and the caption to the photo refers to Navka. Averbukh called it "a big blunder."

Tatyana Navka, Olympic figure skating champion and wife of Vladimir Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov, performed with actor Andrei Burkovsky on the Ice Age show on Channel One on Saturday night. The couple played Roberto Benigni's Oscar-winning film "Life is Beautiful" to the song "Beautiful That Way" by Israeli singer Ahinoam Nini (Noah), which was included in the soundtrack to the tape.

Dressed in striped pajamas with yellow stars of David, the “parents”, who, according to the authors’ idea, ended up in a concentration camp, are trying to convince the “child” that everything that happens around is a game. During the performance, the skaters portrayed shooting at each other. As the Daily Mail notes, "their beaming smiles are typical of figure skating, but did not fit well with the monstrous theme of the issue. In turn, the authors explained that smiles, antics and an inappropriate joyful atmosphere that seemed to others are part of the script, repeating the plot of the film Life is Beautiful.

After the performance, Navka posted a collage of photos on her Instagram, providing it with the caption: “Be sure to look! One of my favorite numbers! Inspired by one of my favorite movies, Life is Beautiful! Show this movie to your kids. PS: Our children should know and remember that terrible time, which, I hope – God willing – they will never know!”

However, far from everyone understood and appreciated the allusions. Immediately after New York Magazine and Daily Beast contributor Yashar Ali retweeted the recording of the speech, Navka and Burkovsky were hit with a hurricane of criticism. On social networks, opinions were divided: from “I just can’t believe such insensitivity and tactlessness” to calls for Putin to force Navka to apologize publicly.

Angry tweets poured in official account Russian embassy in London. Users suggested sending Navka and Burkovsky to a place “where they give out the same pajamas for free,” and also advised the artists to “starve for several months and work in the cold to get into the role.”

“What are they going to convey with the choreography next, mayhem?” — users of social networks are indignant.

This might be offensive if they hadn't take such great care to recreate all the wonderful ice dancing going on at Aushwitz at the time. https://t.co/Nz0iDHqili

The Guardian notes that the performance was well received by the audience, adding that "the usually glamorous Navka even appeared in public without makeup for the sake of the act." The Jerusalem Post described the performance as "chilling", noting that the Russian version of "Dancing with the Stars" also featured a similar moment in April (when actor Alexander Petrov, dressed in a Nazi uniform, pretended to be searched, trying to find a young Jewish woman hiding behind a piano ).

Navka herself in interview radio" TVNZ called the reaction of the world media strange. “Honestly, I don’t understand what exactly disappointed people. I think it's good that this topic is covered. Look how many people watched the movie just last night, and I got great amount calls, SMS, and people with gratitude and positive feedback respond that we have touched on this topic, that we are reminding of that terrible time. It is surprising what the foreign press picked up. I am more than sure that if this number was performed by any other skater on our show, then this number would pass by, no one would ever pay attention to it, ”she said.

We, on the contrary, wanted to show with our number, somehow affect human qualities sincere, and only out of good intentions.

Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov, in response to criticism of his wife Tatyana Navka, said that he was “proud of his wife.”

Her dance partner Andrei Burkovsky also said that he did not understand the sharply negative reaction to their number. “I understand that people are all different and everyone has their own opinion. But the negative excitement around our performance is unjustified, ”he said, adding that his brother from Israel called him and said that the number was wonderful. According to Burkovsky, the issue tells that the child is not allowed to see all the horrors of the war. As the actor emphasized, they did not want to offend anyone.

Coach of the couple, producer of the show and author of the idea of ​​the number Ilya Averbukh said, which did "a lot of numbers on a military and Jewish theme, absolutely different characters". “In the previous program, we had an amazing performance by Catherine Varnava - an Armenian lullaby, also about tragic events. But no one paid attention, apparently because it was not Tatyana Navka who performed it. The theme of this program is world cinema. Each pair illustrated one or another film. The story, when parents try to protect their child, draw him a different world, makes him feel the tragedy even more, it becomes even more painful. And we are talking about it.

I get the feeling that people didn't watch the act or the movie. We saw photos of smiling people in robes and made some ridiculous conclusions - from bad taste, illiteracy, lack of education.

Perhaps only such words come to mind when you get this kind of reaction, ”he said.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, spoke about publications in foreign media in an even harsher tone. “They didn’t like the number! The image of the prisoners of Auschwitz, you see, is not as embodied on the ice as it should be. Defenders of Tolerance? Nothing like this! Hypocrites and liars. Moreover, cowardly hypocrites and liars working out a political order,”

Tatyana Navka and Andrei Burkovsky provoked loud scandal number "Beautiful That Way" to the music from the movie "Life is Beautiful".

Latest release the program "Ice Age" ended in a scandal because of the number "Beautiful That Way" performed by Andrey Burkovsky.

The topic of the program was world cinema, and Navka and Burkovsky skated a performance based on the film Life is Beautiful. Recall that according to the plot of the picture, the parents who ended up in a concentration camp are trying to convince the child that everything that happens is not real, but just a game, so they smile, clow a little and in every possible way create an atmosphere of ease and fun.

The number received mixed reactions from viewers. Netizens, who clearly did not watch the film and did not want to understand the situation, responded very harshly to Navka and Burkovsky.

The scandal was noticed even by Western publications. The British newspaper Daily Mail posted reviews by popular bloggers who strongly condemned the act, and even called for the Russian president to force the show's creators to apologize for "making a mockery of the Holocaust."

The American edition of The Huffington Post and the Israeli Haaretz did not stand aside either.

In defense of Tatyana Navka and Andrey Burkovsky, the coach Ilya Averbukh spoke, who, by the way, put on this number.

"I did a lot of numbers on military and Jewish themes, of completely different characters. In the previous program, we had a stunning number by Ekaterina Varnava - an Armenian lullaby, also about tragic events. But no one paid attention, apparently because it was not Tatiana Navka who performed it And this is the whole answer," Averbukh said.

Ilya shamed the Daily Mail for the fact that a serious, respected publication printed absolutely unverified information. He briefly explained the topic of the program and recounted the meaning of the film "Life is Beautiful", which was presented on ice by Navka and Burkovsky.

“I get the feeling that people didn’t watch either the number or the movie. They saw photos of smiling people in uniforms and made some ridiculous conclusions - from lack of taste, illiteracy, lack of education. Perhaps, only such words come to mind when you receive such reaction. All this hype is an indicator of modern madness. I would call it "delirium tremens" and insanity, "said Averbukh. Tatyana Navka herself was delighted with the performance. "See it for sure! One of my favorite numbers! Based on one of my favorite films, Life is Beautiful! Show this film to your children, be sure. Our children should know and remember that terrible time that I hope God will give, they will never find out!" – wrote the figure skater in social networks.
