Arkady Mayofis Biography

He also attended the television circle of the Tomsk City Palace of Pioneers, where, according to him, he fell in love with TV. After the department of journalism, the Filfak University Filfak began a journalistic career in the news department of Tomsk State Television, first a correspondent, then became the head of the department. At the end of the city, in the city of Arkady emigrated from Russia.

At present, he is an Israeli businessman, works in the market for sweet edible souvenirs under the YOFFI brand means “beauty” in Hebrew and part of the name of the Majofis family. For a long time we did not work out with this conversation. Sometimes I asked for a transfer. More often - one of the most famous at one time of Russian media managers, who proved that it is not necessary to live in Moscow for the production of a class information product.

And then the person who proved that in Israel can do everything, even if he is over 50 and his life, it would seem, is smashed to smithereens. Arkady Mayofis is a person who never holds Figes in his pocket. He holds it in bright packaging.

And sells around the world. Together with dates and other goodies of Israeli land. New people come. Children, work ... - He was not going to ask such a question at first, he is a little off topic. But he could not resist, talking with a man who, as it seems to me, feels Putin. Do you understand why he is all? Until now, everything that he did was consistent with these aspirations.

Putin is not a city crazy one. He is the flesh from the flesh of his people, chosen by this people. He is the product of the Russian Empire and imperial consciousness. Putin cannot be understood without understanding the Russian people. Russia will never be free. With the exception of small periods of time, when the power in the country will temporarily take adherents of democracy, the rule of law and the like.

These people come to power in Russia during the period of economic problems in the country and the threats of hunger. At such moments, Russians begin to seem that democratic transformations are needed. And so in a circle. Relatively soon, a short period of democracy should come. And, as a result, huge economic problems. Purely theoretically at this moment, Russia will have another historical chance to part with its imperiality and stop already getting outside its own borders and take care of its country and their people more.

But personally, I do not believe this in long -term. And lost, confused, lost money, work, not even representing even the closest their prospects. Almost all of them would like to return, return their former life, profession. Some of them will go back. The part will move to another country, and someone, like me seven years ago, will remain in Israel. Of course, I want the last to be the last.

But ... it will be like it ... ”In these words, I feel like hope, uncertainty, and even disappointment. There is bitterness. The pain for those people whose life has broken, not talking about Ukrainians now, everything has broken down at all. These best people of Russia did not deserve such a turn. Each separately did not deserve it. Many of them are now in Israel. They now have a very difficult time.

But they will cope. And I have the hope that one of them will decide to stay here. I would like to have more such people. And how much can it last? Two months, three? And in general, are there temporary boundaries, well, at least based on your personal experience? So, its representatives now, of course, live in the interests of Russia. They have everything - creativity, career, earnings, all life - connected with Russia.

If they remain in these “Russian frames”, then only a few of them will be able to gain a foothold in Israel. It is impossible to engage in Russia from Israel if you are not a university professor engaged in Pelevin's work, I do not know if there are such here at all. A little more likely for those who start working in the Israeli Russian -speaking environment. But still it will be very difficult to find a job in this segment.

And he, oddly enough, decreases. My Hebritor -speaking children do not eat sprats and do not even know what it is. This fully applies to the Russian -speaking media market. Exceptions, of course, are. The same Babel bookstore, which has become the center of Russian culture in Israel. Russian culture and Russian -speaking culture are generally experiencing a rise, possibly comparable to what was in Israel at the end of X - early x.

But this is a humanitarian flowering, so to say, and not economic, unlike those years when both of these processes coincided. If we talk about the deadlines ... then, I think, three years need. According to the "Nativa", 12-13 thousand do you have any statistics on the number of people who want to repatriate from Russia? Now, according to the sensations, there will be more.

Then people made the decision to move rationally. That is, the impulse could be emotional, but no one drove them, there was time to think and prepare. Many just run away. They run to where it is easier. And the easiest way to a man with Jewish blood to leave for Israel.In your opinion, Israel can somehow speed up the repatriation process for Russian citizens?

He has already done everything to accelerate these flows. At all, I did not expect that the national bureaucratic machine related to repatriation issues would go so quickly and rebuilt on the go. But in general, from my point of view, a miracle happened. Excuse me, why do you need this, a successful entrepreneur? Do you have little headache with dates? We are all new repatriates.

We all went through it. Seven years ago, I myself ended up in Israel, almost in the same situation as the current, “post -Putin”, as you say. I also fled from the Putin regime. And a huge number of people helped me. I was surrounded by a sea of ​​warmth and care. It's time to repay debts. Around me, everyone is engaged in new arrivals. And those who arrived 50 years ago, and who are one and a half years old.

My daughter Lisa, for example, helps with the search for apartments, the transfer of rental contracts or the type. In this sense, I am completely useless, but I try to reduce people with each other, just to support psychologically. Power helps in our ways, we ours. From some doctors of sciences you can put together a decent football team. ” Israel is about the same situation in Israel, except not with doctors of sciences, but with humanities.

What can they do here, if we talk about a profile lesson? I now mean primarily outstanding people, truly high professionals in the humanitarian spheres and not those who only consider themselves to be such. One must think how to help these people find themselves here. Imagine, and now it is easy to imagine that, say, 15-20 Russian -language actors of the world level, say, to Israel.

You can, of course, be brushed, they say, these are their problems. But it seems to me that this is wrong. Now is the time to discuss it.
