''The daub of some so-called painters
has lately taken on
1:08:11
the characteristics of individualism.
1:08:14
That conceited hooligan of an artist...
1:08:23
He is connected to anarchist poets.
1:08:26
The other day, in a circle of his
fellow artists he publicly threatened
1:08:30
to cut off, with his grandfather's
dagger, the arm of anyone
1:08:33
who would dare to even touch
the Church of the Mother of God.
1:08:39
We wonder
who is patronizing
1:08:43
this maniac by organizing
his personal exhibitions?
1:08:48
The art of anarchist Barateli
is a disgrace to our culture.
1:08:53
lt is dangerous for our society.
1:08:57
lf you don't deal with
this shady character,
1:09:02
we will appeal to the appropriate
organs!
1:09:05
A group of artists.''
1:09:11
And this letter was the reason
for Barateli's arrest?
1:09:19
l'm asking you.
1:09:21
You arrested him because of that
rubbish, that filth?
1:09:27
The nation's real enemies are those
who wrote this.
1:09:35
They simply ran amok.
lt's outrageous!
1:09:41
Barateli is my friend.
1:09:44
Moreover, he is my pupil,
and l'm proud of him.
1:09:48
You mean to say that my friend...
1:09:52
and my pupil is an enemy?
1:09:58
l understand, but this is not
an argument for the letter's authors.
