🚗🤷‍♂️ “Mikhalkov-Benz” – the pernicious addiction of the people’s director.

Many Celebrities and VIPs (as they were called now) back in the days of the USSR quite openly bought themselves foreign cars And they flaunted on them (not as cramped as now) the main streets of both capitals. Prima of the Bolshoi Theater Olga Lepeshinskaya back in the 1940s traveled around Moscow on the Ford V8 convertible. Donated for the first flight into space (you know who yourself) Matra-Bonnet Djet VS of 1965 – It was also known on the streets of Moscow. Skater and Olympic Champion Alexei Ulanov was one of the main connoisseurs of American power and bought himself Oldsmobile Toronado in 1969 With a huge V8 V8 engine with a volume of 7.5 liters. Later your own The 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Maslkar was acquired by the writer and screenwriter Fedor Shakhmagonov.

Folk artists were not shy. For example, Pugacheva in the late 80s acquired Mercedes 230 in the back of W123. And the family of Mikhalkov, where Father (popular children’s writer Sergei Mikhalkov) acquired Mercedes 280S 1974 release. And the son is great and powerful – Nikita Sergeevich in 1979 became the owner of the Mercedes W115 car 1976 release.

Mikhalkov Jr., over the years of his addiction to the Luxury German brand, did not lose. His fleet at different times included such cars as Mercedes-Benz G-Class-a cult gangster “Gelik” (bought immediately after the performance of the Gangster role in the film “Zhmurki”) or, for example, Respectable V-class with AMR77 numbers.

But unfortunately, as we know, the option “own expensive respectable car»Rarely in Russia coincides with the option”Gently move on it and respect for other road users“. No need to go far – You can recall a very recent story with Efremov. So Nikita Sergeevich over the past 10-15 years (when it became possible to track certain processes) systematically He proved the above thesis about the incompatibility in the Russian soul of these things. What Russian does not like fast driving? On bad roads.

I remember right away The sensational story with blue buckets, when, because of incidents, like “counters” and “two solid” cars Mikhalkov with flashing lights (and other stories of high -ranking civilian), A whole riot began. Of course, in all cases, there was “driver“, Moreover One is the same who never suffered any punishment (as we learned from honest and frank Mikhalkov From an interview with Dudia).

As a result after public resonance Migolists took Mikhalkov, although he claims that he surrendered voluntarily. But this did not stop him from continuing his bacchanalia on public roads. Violations were repeated repeatedly. In 2019, some Activists pierced the very “cool” numbers of AMR77 Mikhalkov and it turned out that 400 (!!!) fines for a total of 361,000 rubles hanging on them.

The moral of this story is this: once again we are convinced that many “heroes of our time”, most likely heroes only on the screen or in our minds. Ashamed.
