Main
intrigue at the opening of the 38-th Moscow International film Festival
the absence of the President of the forum of Nikita Mikhalkov. He appeared on the red
track from “Pushkinskaya” not at 18.00, when it began to walk first
guests or at 20.00, when in the hall, the legendary theater launched the official program
festival. Such patrons of the festival can not remember: Nikita annually personally welcomed
contestants and guests of the festival. As it became known 7days.ru this year Mikhalkov could not
to attend the opening ceremony due to the fact that is
the planned examination in a Moscow clinic. According to approximate to
titlewasnow Director, this is due to minor stomach issues.
Officially guests of the forum declared: “Nikita got sick and
unfortunately I can’t attend today”.

Despite
malaise Nikita Mikhalkov, the annual chiropractic, of course, could not
miss the members of his family. At the opening of the festival is traditionally attended by his
Mikhalkov’s wife Tatyana, and daughter Hope is in gorgeous white
outfit, and son Artem Mikhalkov with his beloved Darya Bazhenova.

Red
the red carpet this evening was sounded several times — out loud or behind the scenes — the word “first”.
For example, the actress Anastasia Makeeva first time after the announcement of the divorce with
musician and producer Gleb Matveychuk appeared on the festival alone.
Judging by the radiant appearance of the stars alone are not proud, as is customary
to speak, and very happy. Again, for the first time: the famous model Elena Kuletskaya that just a month ago became a mother, now has ventured in
light and immediately demonstrated perfect figure, which is envied dozens
heroines of the occasion. Beautiful actress Irina Lachin appeared first on
Moscow International film festival in the company of his daughter Masha — girl
debuted in cinema and I have to admit, though visibly worried
in front of reporters, but acted worthily of the high-profile capital of the film forum.
