Hero of Russia Fyodor Yurchikhin said that he did not speak out against the crew of the movie “The Challenge”, some of which were shot on the International Space Station (ISS) with the participation of actress Yulia Peresild. This is how the astronaut reacted to the words of Peresild, who accused her of abusing him. Yurchikhin’s words lead the way fontanka.ru.
“Show me in which comments I spoke against the project participants? I am ready to answer my every word. At the same time, I do not accept slander neither about my friends nor about myself, ”said the astronaut.
Yurchikhin emphasized that he was critical of the idea of making a film on the ISS, and not its participants. Cosmonaut believes that “Challenge”, as stated before filming the project, does not popularize science.
“You can’t shoot with a team of professionals who spend public money on their education for the sake of projects,” he added.
On April 21, Yulia Peresild personally appealed to Fedor Yurchikhin, demanding to stop the “harassment” against him.
“Dear cosmonauts and personally Fyodor Nikolaevich Yurchikhin and others, stop poisoning me now. Unjustly accusing a woman of all mortal sins is not good for Heroes of Russia for the second year in a row. I do not want anything, I do not apply for any title, ”the actress wrote on her page in VKontakte.
Previously at the Russian Film Actors Guild suggested To award Peresild the Star of the Hero of Russia for a 12-day flight to the ISS.
