Meeting with Grigoriy Amnuel 26 November 2023

Grigoriy Amnuel is a director, politician, and public figure.

It is not so easy to introduce the next guest of the series "TRAVEL AS SELF-KNOWLEDGE”; there was a lot in his life - from the Satire Theater and the Taganka Theater to meetings with Popes John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Francis. On his initiative, the only monument to the Pope of Rome, John Paul II, was erected in Russia. Grigoriy Amnuel is the director of almost 30 films, many of which received prizes at international festivals.

He is known from his work in the Union of Right Forces party, from hundreds of interviews and articles, and from many appearances on television talk shows.

Questions can be asked about all this, but the main conversation will be about the impressions of a trip to North Korea - a country that reminds not only of the Russian past, but perhaps anticipates the Russian future.

Let's also talk about Albania, where 140,000 bunkers were built for 3 million people, and how it managed to break out of its North Korean past and move towards a European future.

All this is based on personal impressions and accompanied by unique photos and video materials.
