Biography. Sergei Kurginyan - chief director Sergei Kurginyan

Sergey Yervandovich Kurginyan says that a return to modernity is impossible.

Sergei Ervandovich Kurginyan says that the postmodern era can only be replaced by the supermodern era.

Sergei Yervandovich Kurginyan says that otherwise the transition to countermodernity is inevitable.

Sergey Ervandovich Kurginyan knows what he is talking about!

So love, dialectically related to post-love (often experienced as hatred or loss), can only be reborn into something fundamentally new - into super-love.

But how to understand this very supermodernity? What could he be?

Kurginyan answers this with his mysteries. And I want to talk about his mysteries, symbolize them through an appeal to dance or painting. In other words, you want to abandon all symbolization and find yourself in the space of the imaginary. This "wants" is natural, and an unacceptable compromise turns out to be an appeal to a song dedicated to dances. To the old humorous song "Solomon Klyar's Dance School". To the one in which the most important words for the analysis of culture through dialectics sound: "Two steps to the left, Two steps to the right, Step forward and turn."

The direction of dialectical development cannot be revealed in its actual trajectory. The negation of negation describes circles around only a supposedly shifting center. Each transition, separated from a number of previous ones, seems to be a spontaneous play of chance (more precisely, a confluence of many reasons), devoid of external meaning and purpose. Likewise, the constancy of Sergei Yervandovich and his magnificent troupe in addressing political science mysteries can be understood through many different understanding systems. But only the understanding of this constancy as the next tact in the dialectical development of world culture gives it meaning. In any case, the meaning that is heard in the speeches of Kurginyan. And he knows what he is talking about!

The transition from one object to the next one turns out to be a tact of dialectical (and not illusory progressive) development only due to the sum of the elements of movement: "step forward" and "turn". Only their generalized properties make it possible to talk about novelty or avant-garde. It is these properties that can be found in the actions taking place in the theater "On the boards". It is these properties that make you lie, saying "this is supermodernity."

To maneuver "step forward", you must at least stand somewhere and know where the front is. The song says clearly: "Where the bow is, there is the first." But in culture, everything is a little more complicated ... In the 21st century, we dance a postmodern shadow dance. No matter how much we would like, but nostalgic about modernity is possible only within the framework of postmodernism - we see it through the magnifying glass of modernity only as another ghost, just as a successful quote in the set. Here we stand. Walk from here. This means that Kurginyan's works, which turn out to be supermodern, must first be postmodern. How "Eugene Onegin" and "The Overcoat", (from) rotating romanticism to realism, remain romantic works basically, so is "I!" cultivates its supermodernity on the fragments of quite ordinary postmodernity.

Only all the typically familiar elements of postmodernism are shifted forward and turned sideways. For example: one can understand postmodernity as a defense of culture and the author from psychoanalytic discourse. “I will not allow myself to be judged, I don’t have my own text at all: only quotes and references,” the postmodern author silently declares. "The reader is the source of interpretations, and I, the author, am only a text composer." Sergei Yervandovich is not embarrassed by possible interpretations, he, building his mysteries according to all the laws of postmodernism, not only introduces the author there as an acting character, but also publicly speaks himself before and after the completion of each performance, raising authorship to a degree and thereby expanding the scene to life ... And not in vain, because Sergey Ervandovich knows what he is talking about!

By bringing himself personally into the performance, the director destroys all possible frames and boundaries. If one could try to decompose the text, acting or scenography into a finite number of elements, references or quotations, then you need to have remarkable (bordering on stupidity) self-confidence to do this with a living Kurginyan. But he also regularly informs about the uniqueness of the actors of his troupe as a result of over-motivated meaningfulness, of which everyone can be convinced by opening at least the "Essence of Time" newspaper file. By the way, in the time available to us, authorship may also well turn out to be an element artwork, of which Warhol and Dali are classic examples, there is (it would seem) nothing new ... But even here Sergei Yervandovich goes ahead with a twist: in his case, authorship is not an end in itself, but only a tool for building "supermodernity."

In the case of Kurginyan's supermodernity, the foreground lies in the fullness of works with meaning. Where the modernist author lays out the interpretation in the most conspicuous place and puts the whole work through it, as if on the string of meaning, where the postmodernist author timidly hides the interpretation in the cliffs of someone else's text or scraps of the plot, there are so many meaning and interpretations in the mysteries of the On Planks theater. that the viewer consistently experiences "array overflow", "roof departure" and "brain explosion". This is very hard to believe. And it is not necessary. But on the stage of the theater, a palimpsest is literally played out.

In the waterfall of meanings and interpretations, a necessary condition for emerging seems to be not only a thorough knowledge of the work, which is nominally a prototype of the mystery, in order to clearly understand where, for example, London ends and Kurginyan begins, not only a deep (to complete immersion) acquaintance with the cultural and historical context of the mystery, not only superficial (to a thorough) reading of political texts and viewing Kurginyan's speeches, not only in-depth acquaintance with various knowledge and logies, not only personal acquaintance with the greatest (even unnoticed) works of world art. But (not excluding all of the above), first of all, the ability to live and face the real. The mysteries of Kurginyan are completely real, that is, they are extremely traumatic, unbearable, obscene.

But supermodernity would not have taken place, had it not been for a "turn" in it. (After all, the palimpsest itself fits well into postmodernity, and is even loved by it.) However, a "turn" without a "step forward" also does not make the difference. The twist lies in the form of performance: calling the action taking place in the theater “On the Planks” a “mystery,” Kurginyan knows what he is talking about!

He is not joking, this is precisely a mystery - from the Greek mysterion - a sacrament. A genre, through the theatricalization of Christian secrets, ascending to the rites of the Dionysian, from which any theater began. And he should be understood through Nietzsche and his "Birth of Tragedy from the Spirit of Music". Once this work was intended to kill the theater in general and criticism in particular, and with them the projects of world Western art and the same civilization. And it successfully coped with its task. The theater is dead. Criticism is dying. Art in general and civilization on the way. Nietzsche believed that the mistake (rejection of the tragedy) in favor of "Socratic" optimism occurred in Greece within the framework of its culture, but he proposed to correct this mistake within the framework of the culture that is contemporary to him. Kurginyan, however, entering into a titanic dispute with the irresistible Frederick, puts on the board not arguments, but mysteries. Living, truly tragic Dionysian-Apollonian mysteries, clearly demonstrating the inevitability (and at the same time being the stone at the base) of the restart of the optimistic project.

The actions of the theater "On the boards" turn out to be mysteries because of the unprecedented turn towards the "spectator". Everything that happens on the stage and in the lobby of the theater is directed and dedicated to just one goal - to build a space of "supermodern", in which a collision with the real is possible for everyone. The mystical content is not access to conditionally objective knowledge, accessible to few (as in the classical mystery), but a collision with the truth of deep unconsciousness (nonsymbolization and lack of imagination), that is, the reality of oneself and, as a consequence, the world.
So, in order to be supermodern on the stage, dialectically denying all kinds of postmodernity, Sergei Ervandovich returns the basic, but already obviously inconsistent elements of modernity - will and knowledge, but with something else. It is this “something” that provides the legitimacy of the presence of both the super- and the ending of modernity in this new-old project. It is this "something" that the will and knowledge are always lacking in order to be fully wealthy.

These are the dances when Kurginyan speaks!

Dmitry Tretyakov

A collision with the inadequacy of the grammatical apparatus of the Russian language is inevitable. “Spectator” is a word that is clearly not suitable for the situation: the viewer sees, that is, participates in the process indirectly. The urgent need for a word that elevates direct labor to the basis of a name makes, following the example of Franconism established in psychoanalysis, the “analysant” (where the “ant” suffix is \u200b\u200bintended to herald activity), to offer terrifying constructions such as “spectator” or “copilant”.

Kurginyan Sergei Ervandovich

Russian politician

Theater director

Leader of the Essence of Time movement

Sergey Kurginyan was born on November 14, 1949 in the city of Moscow. He grew up in the family of a historian and philologist. His dad was a professor specializing in Middle Eastern studies and was born in a small Armenian village, his mother was scientist Institute of World Literature. A.Gorky. The native mothers, grandfather and grandmother of Sergei, were nobles.

As a child, Seryozha dreamed of becoming an artist, so he actively participated in amateur performances, attended the school drama club and played in performances. However, he did not manage to enter the theater school after school. But he became a student at a geological university, where already in the 2nd year he began to direct the created amateur theater.

After graduating from the university in 1972, the young man worked at the Institute of Oceanology, and over time became a researcher and candidate of sciences. In 1980 he went to work at his native geological prospecting institute. Combining scientific activity with passion artistic creation, Sergei remained the director of the studio theater organized during his student days, and also graduated from the school by correspondence in 1983. B. Shchukin.

Bibliographers noted with interest that the present adherent of the USSR in Soviet times was not at all a supporter of the existing system. On the contrary, he emphasized the horror and bloodyness of the Stalinist regime and the fact that he, the descendant of a noble noble family and the grandson of his executed grandfather, had nothing to respect Soviet power for.

In 1986, the geophysicist's favorite brainchild, his theater, was recognized by the state and acquired the name "On the Planks", while Sergei himself left work in his first specialty and devoted himself to creativity.

The activity of the future political scientist as a drama director was not very successful in those years. The only performance "Shepherd" based on the play "Batum" by Mikhail Bulgakov, staged by him in 1992 on the stage of the Moscow Art Theater, failed. However, in economic activity, on the contrary, he succeeded. In 1987, an Experimental Creative Center was established on the basis of his studio theater. With the support of his initiative, Yuri Prokofiev, Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Moscow City Council, provided the Center with a number of premises in the very heart of the capital in Vspolny Lane and allocated funds.

In 1990, the ETC received the right to be called the International Public Fund or "Kurginyan Center". In 2004, the center also earned the high status of an organization affiliated with the UN Department.

Sergei Yervandovich supported perestroika and all the undertakings of Mikhail Gorbachev. But he never wanted the collapse of the USSR, but advocated the modernization of the administrative-command system. He joined the ranks of the CPSU in order to implement his ideas of preserving and improving statehood, opposed the democrats who were eager for the death of the empire.

Thanks to the mediation of the head of the Moscow City Executive Committee, Prokofev, he, as part of a group of political experts, visited Baku to help resolve the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict. The report on the results of the trip, presented by him to the Politburo of the Central Committee of the party, contained accurate forecasts of the development of the situation. Therefore, Kurginyan began to be attracted as an expert in the future. He went to Karabakh, Lithuania, Dushanbe.

In 1991, he was an unofficial adviser to Gorbachev, who proposed the president’s plan to get the country out of the crisis. However, Sergei Yervandovich himself argued that he and the head of state had differences of opinion regarding ways to get the party and the USSR out of the deadlock. He supported the State Committee for the State of Emergency during the August putsch, announcing this in the publication "I am the ideologist of the state of emergency." One of the conspirators, the head of the KGB, Vladimir Kryuchkov, he subsequently accepted into his ETC. During the internal political conflict in 1993, he found himself in the premises of the Supreme Council. The adherents of the move to Ostankino put him out the door as an opponent of this decision. He immediately informed the public of their intentions.

In 1996, the politician called on large entrepreneurs to take the pro-state side. As a result, an appeal "Letter of 13" appeared in the press, signed, in particular, by the heads of "LogoVAZ" Boris Berezovsky, "Siberian Oil Company" Viktor Gorodilov, "AvtoVAZ" Alexei Nikolaev, "Alfa Group" Mikhail Fridman, "Menatep" Mikhail Khodorkovsky, containing proposals for overcoming the crisis and support for Boris Yeltsin. Later, the result of the interaction of big business with the head of state was the emergence of an oligarchic political system in the Russian Federation.

Sergei Ervandovich is married to Maria Mamikonyan. They met and got married while studying at the institute. Today she is an artist of the theater "On the boards", an employee of the ETC, the head of the "Parents' All-Russian Resistance", which deals with the problems of protecting the family, education. The organization denies the Western model of education, advocates the prohibition of sexual education of children.

The couple have an adult daughter, Irina, who also works at the Kurginyan Center. By education, she is a historian, candidate of sciences. Ira is raising her daughter.

Sergei Ervandovich was fond of new types of theatrical forms. Therefore, he was among the first participants in the experiment on organizing self-financed theater groups, creating "On the boards". When it turned out that Melpomene was not inclined to reciprocate, he found an equally interesting vocation - he discovered and developed the talent of an expert analyst. The center named after him, working on the principle of a kind of family contract, publishes newspapers, magazines, books of political content.

Until recently (March 2012), he was a permanent co-host of the political talk show "Historical Process" on the TV channel "Russia". The first specialty is a geophysicist.

Until 1986, he was a senior researcher at the Applied Cybernetics Laboratory of the Moscow Geological Prospecting Institute.

Sergey Kurginyan was a member of the commission on new theatrical forms of the Union of Theater Workers of the RSFSR and the initiator of the socio-economic experiment "Theater Studio on a Collective Contract." Created by S. Kurginyan in his student years (1967) studio theater in 1986, together with the studios of M. Rozovsky, "In the South-West", "Man" and others, took part in the experiment "Theater on a collective contract." According to the results of the experiment, the theater received the status of a state theater (theater "On the boards"). S. Kurginyan Theater professes a philosophical and metaphysical approach to modern phenomena.

Since the 80s Sergey Kurginyanin parallel with theatrical activities, he analyzes the political process. In November 1987, the Executive Committee of the Moscow City Council, by its decision N 2622, created an "Experimental Creative Center" on the basis of the theater-studio "On boards" and provided it with a complex of premises on Vspolny Lane. of Moscow, having opened financing for their reconstruction.

In January 1989 Sergey Kurginyan headed the organization of a new type created by the Moscow City Executive Committee on the basis of the theater - “ Experimental Creative Center". Repeatedly went to "hot spots" on behalf of the Central Committee of the CPSU (then - the leadership of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR) to conduct an independent examination.
After unsuccessful attempts to offer their services to the Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Alexander Yakovlev (1987), Chairman of the Presidium of the RSFSR Armed Forces Vitaly Vorotnikov and Chairman of the USSR KGB Viktor Chebrikov (1988) Sergey Kurginyan was approached by the second (then first) secretary of the Moscow City Committee of the CPSU, Yuri Prokofiev, and introduced into the circles of the USSR Council of Ministers and the CPSU Central Committee. In September 1990, at a brainstorming session in the Council of Ministers, Kurginyan proposed to carry out harsh confiscation measures and massive repressions against the "dealers of the shadow economy", prompting the remark of Deputy Prime Minister Leonid Abalkin: "We already went through this in 1937".
In that specific time and historical period Sergey Kurginyan maintains close ties with the Soyuz group.

In 1990 Sergey Kurginyan ran for people's deputies of the RSFSR (in Chertanovskiy territorial district N 58 of Moscow). Election program of the candidate Sergei Kurginyan proposed a strategy for the national salvation of Russia, capable of preventing the collapse of the Russian economy, society, and state. As an answer to the question of where to get the money for the implementation of this program, in the campaign materials of the candidate Sergei Kurginyan it was pointed out that Russia annually loses huge amounts of money due to unfair distribution between the union republics of the USSR, on long-term construction and union "projects of the century", etc. The Russians were asked to take an example from the Japanese and "sparingly and prudently" invest all the released funds in the program national salvation of Russia.

In 1991 Sergey Kurginyan refused to become an advisor to Gorbachev because of differences in views on the path of bringing the Communist Party and the country out of the impasse. S. Kurginyan's idea of \u200b\u200brelying on the intellectual stratum (first of all, the scientific and technical intelligentsia) for the country to take the modernization barrier was supported by Yu. Prokofiev, secretary of the Moscow City Committee of the CPSU. In the center of Moscow Sergey Kurginyan, which united a number of organizations and laboratories with breakthrough developments in the Experimental Creative Center, several houses were provided.

In 1993 Sergey Kurginyan became an adviser to RI Khasbulatov, during the October events of 1993 was in the building of the Supreme Soviet. He was the developer of a scenario for the behavior of the opposition forces, an alternative to the one that was implemented on October 3 ("the campaign to Ostankino"). In his opinion, the plan of the campaign against Ostankino was provocative.
Several times he thwarted provocations organized among the "White House" (the so-called "Sokolov revolt", etc.), categorically objected to the incorporation of Barkashovites and other provocative elements into the White House environment. Conducted a political dialogue and information campaign in favor of the Supreme Council. On September 30, the "party" of supporters of the campaign against Ostankino, which was inside the building of the Armed Forces, achieved expulsion Sergei Kurginyan as your dangerous opponent.

In the same day Sergey Kurginyan addressed all supporters of the Supreme Soviet with a warning about the impending provocation. The warning was transmitted through the channels of the information system "Ring" that existed at that time, and also appeared on the tapes of official news agencies (full text in the magazine "Russia-XXI", No. 8, 1993).
In 1996 Sergey Kurginyan invited representatives of big business to unite and take a constructive pro-state position. This resulted in the famous "Letter of the Thirteen".
In my own words, Sergey Kurginyan participated in the removal of General A.I. Lebed from the post of Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.

In 2007, before the presidential elections in Russia Sergey Kurginyan expressed the opinion that “the very principle of presidential power in Russia is more fundamentally constitutional than the principle, which speaks of two terms of the presidency,” and also expressed concern that “if Putin tries to move from the presidency even by a millimeter, he will ruin the system ".

July to December 2010 Sergey Kurginyan was a co-host of the TV program "Time Court".

In 2011, after the congress of the United Russia party, commenting on D. Medvedev's nomination of V. Putin as a candidate for the post of President of Russia, S. Kurginyan said that “the process, which they wanted to turn in the direction of returning to radical liberalism, did not turn in this direction,” and also with the fact that “with the de-Stalinization of radical liberalism, the return to already dead mythologemes and types of social and other cultural life, - this is all over for the near future. " Addressing your supporters Kurginyan also stressed that this did not happen thanks to "including our modest efforts."

"Aggressive patriot" - this is how the leading media call Sergei Kurginyan. His biography is amazing: despite the fact that he belongs to the opposition, Sergei never spoke out against the current government, demonstrating loyalty. Kurginyan belongs to the "6th column", which stands for integration with the West, for the development of strong partnerships.

Childhood and youth

Sergey was born in 1949 in Moscow, his parents are scientists. Father Ervand Amayakovich is a historian, mother Maria Sergeevna worked as a senior researcher at the Institute of World Literature named after I. Gorky. Sergey's nationality is Armenian. The maternal grandmother is a nee princess, and the grandfather on the same line is a hereditary nobleman of Swedish blood.

Little Seryozha wanted to become an artist, so he was an active participant in amateur creative activities at school, participated in productions. He failed to enter the theater. But in the 2nd year of the geological university, where Kurginyan was taken, he created an amateur troupe and began to lead it.

After receiving his diploma in 1972, Sergei was recruited by the Institute of Oceanology, where he defended his Ph.D. After 8 years, the young scientist returns to his native geological exploration already as a research assistant. Despite the stormy scientific activity, he did not leave either the founded theater studio, or dreams of a theatrical future. In 1983, he graduated from the school by correspondence. Shchukin, receiving a specialty in directing drama.

In 1986, the theater was recognized as a state theater, it was renamed "On the Planks". Sergei leaves science and is completely devoted to creativity. His directorial activity in those years cannot be called successful - the only production based on the play "Shepherd" in 1992 failed. But Kurginyan discovered a talented business executive.

In 1987, on the basis of the studio, the "Experimental Creative Center" was established, which was allocated a building in the center of the capital and funds for development. Three years later, "ETC" was renamed into the International Public Foundation "Center of Kurginyan".

Politics and journalism

Vigorous activity led the former researcher to politics. Initially, he advocated perestroika and supported politics. However, he did not understand the meaning of the ideas of the collapse of the USSR, he proposed steps to modernize and strengthen the union. He became a member of the CPSU, opposed the democrats and tried to implement the ideas of preserving the great country. In 1991 Sergey became an unofficial adviser to the head of state.

Thanks to his acquaintance with the head of the Moscow City Executive Committee Prokofiev, Sergei Kurginyan, together with political experts, was sent to Baku to help resolve the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict. The report, which he submitted at the end of his trip to the Central Committee, contained accurate forecasts of the further development of the situation. Sergei was regularly involved in such events, sent to Lithuania, Tajikistan and Karabakh.

In the August putsch, he supported the State of Emergency Committee. In 1996 Sergei called on influential businessmen to turn their faces to the state. As a result hard work the Letter of Thirteen was issued, which was signed by the mastodons of entrepreneurial activity, Gorodilov, and 9 other people. The letter contained real proposals for a way out of the economic crisis and support.

Since coming to power, he has not been active in politics, becoming a political scientist and analyst. In 2011, he founded the Essence of Time patriotic movement, held meetings and recorded lectures with his views, posting them on his official website. But in general, his vision does not contradict the activities of the current president; some left-wing activists even accused him of working for Putin.

Personal life

The political scientist has been married to Maria Mamikonyan since his student days. The wife is also active in social activities, plays in the theater "On the boards" and heads the association "Parental All-Russian Resistance". Maria, together with like-minded people, denies the European model of education, opposes sex education lessons in Russian educational institutions.

In 2017, Mamikonyan, at the third congress of her organization, presented an alternative report to the president at hot topic juvenile justice in Russia, citing horrific and unreasonable examples of the removal of children from families. Note that this congress was attended by deputies of the State Duma and members of the Federation Council, and Vladimir Putin himself was present at the first congress in 2013.

Maria and Sergei are successful parents, their daughter Irina is already 41 years old, and she herself is raising a daughter. Irina has a history education, she is a candidate of sciences, works for her father in the "Kurginyan Center". The woman is not a public person, she does not maintain accounts in social networks, there are much more articles with her authorship on the Internet than photos.

Sergey Kurginyan now

Sergey is an emotional person, and, as they say in his circles, narcissistic. Sometimes the actions and speeches of Kurginyan seem provocative: in 2011, he threw a glass of water in the face of Roman Dobrokhotov on the radio Echo of Moscow. In 2014, the political scientist, having visited Donetsk, tried to convict him of treason. Nevertheless, he often becomes a guest of analytical and political programs, an expert and a critic.

In 2017, the political program "The Right to Know" was published with the participation of Kurginyan. The broadcast is full of interesting reasoning, historical facts, looks in one go. Until now, on the TVC website, where the recording is located, viewers leave reviews about Kurginyan's ingenious and consistent logic.

Currently, Sergei writes articles and books, periodically travels with lectures around the country, to which, according to rumors, students are forcibly driven. In anticipation, he wrote down and posted on the Web his opinion about the candidates, including Fr. He supports the replacement of the CPRF representative, but admits that the candidate is too inexperienced for this level of political office. The day after the presidential elections, a program was released, in which Sergei admitted that he had cast his vote in support of Putin.
