In mid-July 2012, supporters of Nikita Mikhalkov’s political views registered a new party called “For Our Homeland”. The eminent director himself claims that he has nothing to do with this party, and moreover he is not going to join its ranks.
The program of the new Russian party is based on Nikita Mikhalkov’s manifesto “Law and Truth”, which he published back in 2010. In addition, the works of such great Russian philosophers as Ivan Ilyin, Pavel Florensky, Nikolai Berdyaev are embedded in her ideology. The program also included the theses of the legendary statesman Peter Stolypin.
The party "For Our Homeland" was led by Mikhail Lermontov. He calls himself a direct descendant of the famous Russian poet. But many skeptics do not think that this is true, since Mikhail Lermontov had no children. No less pretentious symbols appear as symbols of the new political association: the eight-pointed star of the Virgin, adorning the banners of the soldiers of Ancient Russia, and the St. George flag in black and gold colors.
Mikhalkov officially stated that he did not consider himself a politician, did not force anyone to create this party, and the manifesto he wrote was not at all its program. The director explained that the fraction is based on a kind of quintessence of all his thoughts and previously voiced thoughts about the situation in Russia at one time or another. However, he is very glad that there were sensible people who were inspired by his statements. Mikhalkov considers them to be new conservatives, true patriots and statesmen.
Mikhail Lermontov called the new political structure the party of traditional values of the Russian state. In particular, its supporters, like Mikhalkov himself, consider the events of 1917 a national tragedy of the state, as a result of which the real spirit of the Russian people was lost. Party members also insist on the mandatory control of morality in the media. The political association has already passed the necessary registration procedure in the Ministry of Justice.
