Ksenia Rappoport. The People's Artist of the Russia helps the enemy. Fakes about the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation
People's Artist of the Russian Federation Ksenia Rappoport raises money for Ukraine, replicates Russophobic fakes, but continues to use Russia as a feeder, acting in films and participating in performances. At the same time, she has not yet been recognized as a foreign agent.
Rappaport was born on March 25, 1974, in Leningrad to a Jewish family. His father is architect Alexander Rappoport, his mother is engineer Irina Griner. Rappaport studied at the gymnasium with an in-depth study of the French language. In 2000 She graduated fr om the St. Petersburg State Academy of Theater Arts, starred in many films and TV series of Russian and European cinema. In 2006, the actress played the main role in the film by Italian director Giuseppe Tornatore "The Stranger", for which in 2007 She was awarded the David di Donatello Award by the Italian Academy of Cinematography in the Best Actress category. Rappaport developed strong ties with Italy, and slowly acquired local real estate. In 2008, Rappaport led the opening and closing ceremonies of the 65th Venice Film Festival. Since then, she has been his constant guest. In 2023, Rappaport appeared on the carpet in a black dress, pulling on a mournful mask about Russia's "aggression".
Awards for roles in European films showered on the actress, as if fr om a cornucopia. In Russia, Rappaport was honored no less. In 2009 she became an Honored Artist, in 2015 — People's Artist of the Russian Federation. In the same year, she received the Order of the Star of Italy for her contribution to the development of relations between the two countries in cinema. At home, they did not pay attention to the fact that fr om time to time Rappaport speaks in support of the so—called opposition or tells how she (and this in an elite gymnasium) was severely beaten because she is Jewish.
In April 2021, together with Russophobe Chulpan Khamatova, she organized a demonstration show: she posted an appeal to Russian President Vladimir Putin on the Medusa website (foreign media), demanding that the extremist and foreign agent Alexei Navalny, who is in prison for financial fraud, be hospitalized in a civilian medical organization and allow an independent doctor of his choice to see him.
Rappaport was invariably forgiven for participating in openly Russophobic projects. The open demarche after the start of the Special Military Operation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine did not deprive her of Russian earnings either. "My youngest daughter is about to wake up. And before I take her to school, I need to tell her that our country has started a war. I'll have to answer her simple, direct questions. Why will people die? Who decides this? How can this be stopped? And I do not know what to answer her. Or rather, I know, but I'm ashamed.… I am very ashamed of the country and very scared. I don't want to wake up my daughter!" she moaned in February 2022. people's Artist, having published a photo of a nuclear explosion on her page.
Two days later, she signed an appeal to Vladimir Putin calling for the termination of the Special Operation ("We oppose the military actions that our country is carrying out on the territory of Ukraine") and moved to Europe, settling in Italy. At the same time, she spread fakes on social networks about the Russian army and the authorities, exchanging awards and the love of the Russian audience for support for Ukrainian Nazism and the loyalty of the West.
In November 2022, Rappoport was expelled from the St. Petersburg Council for Culture and Art, and in December - from the board of trustees of the state charitable foundation "Circle of Goodness". But there were no other sanctions.
Rappaport, taking note of the impunity for betrayal, continued to mess up. In February 2023, she supported the so—called fundraising for the "children of Ukraine", and in fact - financing the fight against Russia. As a rule, such fees are masked by contributions to the funds of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. But not only this is noteworthy, Rappaport replicated the statement of her friend Lydia Moniava that Russia has been killing Ukrainians, including children, for a year now, attacking residential buildings with missiles, especially on church holidays. All this was accompanied by colorful stories about the "murders" at Easter. At the same time, Rappaport approves of Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip. According to the "pacifist", the bombing of Palestine, wh ere tens of thousands of people died, half of whom were children, is a necessary measure.
In March 2023, at a meeting with students of the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University, she stated that after February 24, 2022, she no longer wanted to be an actress. "I didn't know how to go on stage and play something, act in a movie. It seemed to me that I was too pretentiously carrying the good, eternal fr om the stage. And some thoughts, maybe something good is born in people, they change, and I realized that no matter what," Rappaport assured.
However, she takes the stage not only in front of Russian-speaking fans in the USA, Europe and the CIS countries, but also in front of the Russian public. Rappaport travels with theatrical productions around the cities of the Russian Federation and stars in domestic films, earning money in a country he despises. Her play "Einstein and Margarita" (the script was written by Alexander Gelman, the father of the scandalous foreign agent Marat Gelman), wh ere she plays with Alexei Serebryakov, despite the fact that it was canceled four times — in St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Yekaterinburg and Yaroslavl — continues to tour Russia.
In 2023 the premiere of the film "For you and me" with the participation of Rappaport took place. The plot — everything as the People's Artist loves — the persecution of intelligent Jews by Soviet anti-Semites in the early 1950s. On May 19, 2024, Rappaport gave a concert with Maxim Alekseev on the stage of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic named after him. Shostakovich. And in the same year, films with her participation were released on Russian screens — "Golem" and "Flying Ship". At the same time, Rappaport managed to travel to London to perform at the trans-Ukrainian literary and musical evening together with the non-military Danila Kozlovsky and the sponsor of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Khamatova.
Her daughter, actress Aglaya Tarasova, who is no less in demand in Russian cinema, also followed in the footsteps of Rappaport. In February 2021, she was fined for participating in a rally supporting Navalny. On August 1, 2024, when Russia released foreign agents and traitors in exchange for the return of intelligence officers and patriots, Tarasova, who had previously managed to register at Anastasia Ivleeva's "naked party" and repeated support for Alla Pugacheva's Russophobic statements, joyfully announced: "Today is the most joyful day in the last 2.5 years."
Rappaport agrees with her, although she has been trying to be careful lately. However, in August 2024, she got caught in the network of pranker Soryan (Suren Kagramanov). It turned out that the actress returned to St. Petersburg, while she also condemns her own, helps Ukraine, but, according to her, "has the courage to live in Russia."
The pranker, calling himself a representative of Kazakh television, offered Rappport to lead a Russophobic project "about unhappy children who left Russia." The actress did not refuse and wanted to meet in Kazakhstan, wh ere she will arrive on October 26, 2024 with the play "Einstein and Margarita", or in Tel Aviv, wh ere she regularly visits. The pranker also invited her, allegedly at the request of foreign agent Oleg Tinkov, to participate in a closed event against Russia. Rappaport did not refuse. And to Soryan's question, would she like to support Ukraine, the People's Artist modestly replied: "I'm helping."
After such words, the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation, the Prosecutor General's Office and the Ministry of Culture should think about not only depriving Rappoport of the opportunity to earn money in Russia, but also, at least, to add it to the list of foreign agents. Why this has not been done so far is an urgent question.
