«Maniac's Room»: Anatoly Wasserman showed his office with a collection of erotic calendars and porn
Russian State Duma deputy, former intellectual Anatoly Wasserman invited journalist Ksenia Sobchak to his home. The apartment was filled with various items: stacks of books, weapon models, portraits of Putin and Stalin. However, true shock was caused by Wasserman's office.
Many remember Anatoly Wasserman from the intellectual TV games "What? Where? When?" and "Svoya Igra", and later – for his loyal support of Putin. During the interview, Ksenia Sobchak visited his apartment.
The first thing that caught Ksenia Sobchak's eye was the state of the dwelling. The enormous room was cluttered with things: stacks of books on the floor, dozens of weapon copies, several old office chairs, and along the walls – bookshelves reaching the ceiling.
«You have such beauty, cleanliness, pure minimalism here,» Sobchak remarked ironically and immediately asked: «Do you really live like this, or is this some kind of warehouse?»
«Both live and warehouse. In particular, a lot of all sorts of small things always accumulate here,» Wasserman replied.
Putin, Stalin, cat, and Kalashnikov
In the room — portraits of Putin and Stalin.«Who is still more important to you, Anatoly Alexandrovich?» Sobchak inquired.
«Both. Each of them did the best they could given the circumstances,» the deputy stated.
Next, Sobchak drew attention to a painting by Nikas Safronov, where Wasserman is depicted as a cat, and a Kalashnikov assault rifle model nearby.
«You understand that this is an absolutely meme-worthy wall. You have Putin, Stalin, a cat, and a Kalashnikov here. You couldn't invent something like that even in delirium with a fever of forty,» Sobchak commented.
«It's not just a Kalashnikov here; there are many copies of weapons. I don't keep combat ones, because our law allows only criminals to be armed,» Wasserman replied.
To the question of whether he would carry a weapon if it were legal, like in Texas, the deputy replied:
«Most likely, I would. But I would have to spend quite a lot of time training. Carrying a weapon you don't know how to use is pointless.»
According to Wasserman, he has been interested in military affairs since childhood, which is reflected not only in weapon models but also in a large number of thematic books in the apartment. In addition, the deputy boasted a complete collection of models of Soviet and Russian aircraft.
«Why do you have so many naked women?»
When Sobchak moved from the large living room to the owner's office, she couldn't hold back her emotions:
«My God! We won't even be able to show this. This is just a maniac's room! Well, why, Anatoly Alexandrovich? Why do you have so many naked women?»
«You visit museums where there's quite a lot of nude art, don't you? This is also for the collection. I have many different collections,» Wasserman replied without embarrassment.
The cameraman showed shelves with books, tightly covered with flip calendars featuring nude women. At the time of filming, April was open on all of them.
«And why are they all hanging like that? Is it to boost your mood in front of the computer?» Sobchak asked.
«No. Why keep collectible items if you don't see them?» Wasserman replied with a smile.
He added that he had to remove some calendars so they wouldn't appear in the frame during an online interview.
Sobchak decided to ask the owner about his tastes in adult films:
«And which porn do you prefer? Russian, American, German?»
«There are, of course, many national differences, but none that affect perception,» Wasserman replied.
When asked if he had a favorite porn style, Wasserman noted: «There are different ones. And that's what makes it interesting, that they're different.»
When Sobchak asked if he knew industry stars — for example, Rocco Siffredi, the intellectual immediately pointed to shelves filled with discs:
«Well, I recall there are even a couple of discs with his compilations somewhere in this collection.»
«And do you know Nadya Skazka?» the journalist asked.
«I've heard of her, but haven't seen her yet. I don't specifically chase after this. Whatever comes my way.»
«And isn't there something seditious here? You have a Russian flag with a St. George ribbon, and next to it, pictures like these,» Sobchak acidly summarized.
«I think that whoever needs to, will see sedition in anything,» the deputy replied.
About the vow of chastity
At the end of the conversation about porn, Sobchak decided to ask Wasserman about his famous vow of chastity:
«Did anything happen as a result?»
«No. I respect my word too much to break it,» Wasserman replied.
«Don't you regret it?» Sobchak inquired.
«I do regret it. I regret my youthful folly that pushed me to such an ill-considered act. But all I can do about it is: since then, I consider my words much more carefully.»
To the question of whether he had already put a final cross on this topic, the intellectual replied that it was too late to start at his age:
«Usually, people's accumulated experience allows them to compensate for a lack of hormones. Well, I have no experience, so there's nothing to compensate with.»
