Lyusya Stein biography. Lucy Stein's new moment of fame
“Liberals”, as people of “Western” thinking, that is, with a priority of benefit rather than justice, They will say: “If you don’t like it, don’t smell it!”
I learned some unusual news today. A friend told me, and I immediately “answered” - so much so that he batted his eyelashes for a long time. Of course, when you are “held” to be a cultured and intelligent person, such a reaction is very surprising.
A little later, I sincerely apologized, explaining: “You see, when there are no words left, just expressions - this is not so much a question of culture as of emotionality. Sometimes I just get sick of these “liberals...”
Soon I got to the computer, prudently not trying to clarify everything for myself using a smartphone - it can be very easy to launch it against something hard with all its might, and it may not survive some news.
And exactly: “On her page on the social network Facebook, deputy of the municipal assembly of the Basmanny district of Moscow Lyusya Stein shared the publication of the Ukrainian “ATO volunteer” Sergei Pritula with an appeal to raise funds to help Kyiv militants. In addition to bank accounts to which they are asked to transfer money, The publication indicates considerable amounts of money being donated to the murderers" (1).
That is, it really turned out to be a representative of the Russian government (albeit a local one), and it really was a collection of funds for moral monsters who declared Russia and all Russians enemies, killing civilians in the Donbass and dreaming of destroying us all.
Some comments under the text about such news also gave an emphasis - it’s definitely worth “dig” for this “character” (“character”)...
And they really turned out to be “liberals” - “Lusya Stein from Yabloko is a new deputy of the Basmanny district of Moscow...” And the explanation for such a strange election - “the extremely low turnout in Moscow, 12% at 18:00, did its job. (Add.: data as of 09/11/17 - 14.8% interfax.ru) While everyone ignores local elections, hates systemic parties and voluntarily refuses to contribute to the building of civil society, pale ghouls and ghouls with piercings on hoverboards from barber shops form local parliaments" (2). As one of the readers correctly put it: “Liberda for once cooperated and pushed its representatives into power due to the political inertia of the majority of our population” (3)
Yes, about such “personalities” in the former Ukraine (about the current government and the ATO soldiers of which Lucy suddenly became worried) they say “youthful” - “born in 1996.” However, it is not a fact that age will help our “heroine” over time. Because she is from a well-known family favored by the authorities - “the daughter of theater director Pyotr Stein and the granddaughter of the famous playwright and winner of two Stalin prizes Alexander Stein” (3). After all, as you know, the “inner feeling of belonging to the elite” does not add to the intelligence, but rather, on the contrary, takes away - Lucy Stein probably has a considerable circle of friends from similar “elites” or just a liberal crowd, which will happily present any of her stupidity as a sign of genius.
And she was not at all weak in this regard at one time - and she was not at all shy about showing “new” pictures on the Internet, and she put a cast of her breasts (sorry, in the sense of “boobs”) on public display, and even with subsequent sale of these casts
(even Venediktov “the kid” did some PR with them).
And what is the value of the personally pumped-out hashtag “I’m going to bite” - it’s just “alles kaput”, the height of “modesty”!
By the way, there are also rumors, very similar to the truth (with screenshots from her personal FB page), that she even launched a very controversial slogan online: “I defeated the clap, I can cope with corruption!” Lucy Stein. After which, allegedly, they began to call her “Lucy Tripper-Stein” online.
Now, of course, as a person, if not respected, then “in power,” she refutes all this, but such messages and such refutations give a lot of feedback or the same hype - which is very “useful” for PR. The well-known method is first we make “leaks” that shock and outrage the people, and then, having received a certain (albeit “very certain”) fame, we refute everything.
Lucy also dreamed about how she would “make Solovyova laugh on air,” and that everyone would only talk about her. And also, for the sake of PR (but in words, of course, solely for the sake of “the fight for freedom against the enemies of freedom”), Lyusya even made an attempt to troll Ramzan Kadyrov:
However, Kadyrov did not notice such squeals of hers, that is, attempts to attract attention to herself (to give herself greater importance by “attacking” really important people). And it’s good that I didn’t notice, because I would definitely have found the “correct, convincing” words for her. Which would immediately make Lyusya, like that young Chechen hooligan, “realize everything, deeply repent” and go to Grozny on the first plane to clean the streets... Think in the fresh air about physical labor, freeing thoughts, along with the relationship of free will and boundaries of what is acceptable.
But until this happened, the granddaughter and daughter of famous parents continued to dream of a bit of fame, even the most dubious one - out of an already ingrained habit. After all, as you know, “any mention other than an obituary is an advertisement.”
I suddenly imagined how she switches television channels hour after hour in irritation, but for some reason neither Lucy Stein nor her, sorry, “boobs” are shown anywhere - neither by themselves, nor in connection with the renovation of houses in Moscow. Only everything about the former Ukraine and the Donbass - as if cultured, undead people are interested in the fate of these “crests”!
And suddenly Lucy slaps her hand on her forehead - here it is, an idea! If you say something that will make everyone indignant and even spit, what a hype it will be! Who do Russians hate most - ATO soldiers who kill civilians in Donbass? This means that we need to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and a huge number of indignant comments are guaranteed! Maybe even the curators of Kyiv, who are the United States, will they say anything approving, what kind of goodies will they send?
Here it is, a new moment of glory! And that she “smells” of this very thing... - I don’t care! “Liberals,” as people of “Western” thinking, that is, with a priority of benefit rather than justice, will say: “If you don’t like it, don’t smell it!”
21-year-old Lyusya Stein, a candidate for municipal deputies in the Basmanny district of Moscow, received 1,153 votes. She spoke about this on her Facebook page.
“We won. All three by a wide margin,” she wrote.
It should be clarified that we are talking about two other candidates from Gudkov’s team - Viktor Kotov and Ilya Morozov, who also become deputies.
Let us recall that Lyusya Stein, an employee of Dmitry Gudkov’s headquarters, announced her intention to run for municipal deputies in May 2017, after she was the first to report the detention of a 10-year-old boy reading poems from Hamlet on Arbat Square.
In June of this year, she, together with artist Artem Loskutov, organized the campaign “Breasts to protect your home.” As part of this action, Lyusya Stein installed plaster casts of her breasts on six houses included in the renovation program.
Note that Lyusya Stein was born in 1996 in Moscow in the family of theater director Pyotr Stein. Her mother is a psychologist, and her grandfather is the famous playwright and winner of two Stalin prizes, Alexander Stein.
Currently, the girl lives alone, as her parents left for Portugal. Lucy Stein is currently a student. The girl also works for Radio Liberty and also films for various publications.
“Breasts to protect your home. Lyusya Stein” June 23rd, 2017
An original way to fight the Moscow renovation was invented by a new opposition p..zizda - a candidate for municipal deputies Lucy Stein.
With the help of action artist Artyom Loskutov, she made a cast of her breasts. Then, with the help of her associates, the candidate went to hang the bust castings - “breast amulets” - for capital buildings designated for demolition.
The action was called “Breasts to protect houses from renovation.” It took place in the Basmanny district, where Stein intends to run. In total, the casts are hung on six houses. Under the strange decorative elements there are inscriptions: “For the protection of your home. Lucy Stein"“You will be torn down, but you hold on. #citizenstein".
- From the emancipation of slaves in the United States in the 19th century to the Resistance movement in Nazi-occupied France, women's breasts symbolized freedom and independence.- said Stein.
- The naked female breast became one of the first totems of magical power. By placing my breasts on the house, I thereby turn to ancient rituals, she added.
- Lucy Stein is doing an incredible campaign. Boobs on houses are really cool. Voters demand bread and circuses, one of her associates wrote on Facebook yesterday.
- I made casts of amulets for my colleague Lucy Stein - she placed them on six houses in the Basmanny district of Moscow, which were demolished due to “renovation”. Lyusya stands up to protect the residents of these houses - she wants to be a municipal deputy. I fully support, wrote on Facebook the repeatedly convicted drug addict Loskutov, known for conducting"Monstrations" in Novosibirsk, separatist vysers and unsuccessful nomination for deputy from PARNAS.
Lyusya Stein herself is known, let me remind you, for her key role in the provocation sewn with white thread “Detention of a child for poetry.” Immediately after this, vigorous activity was launched (with the support of Dmitry Gudkov, Maxim Kats, “Echo of Moscow”, “Rain”, RBC, etc.) to promote a new star of the creative opposition.
- Having become a participant in the incident with the boy, I decided to run for municipal deputies. This nomination is my civil response to what is happening around"Stein said.
Her campaign headquarters is led by a psychologist who conducts communication trainings for bankers and liberal candidates for deputies Andrei Matveev, a close friend of Gudkov Jr. Also seen at the headquarters admiring the burning"Vatnikov" in Odessa, now left from "Open Russia"(Stein’s neighbor and friend) and even (in recent days) Liza Peskova, the daughter of that same press secretary of Peskov.
Stein is currently busy creating... her own liberal party.
On July 2, Lucy (Lyudmila Petrovna) Stein will turn 21 years old. She is the daughter of the late theater director Pyotr Aleksandrovich Stein, the granddaughter of the Soviet writer and playwright Alexander Petrovich (Pinkhusovich) Stein (Rubinstein), and the cousin of the Soviet-Israeli poet Boris Samuilovich Stein. Lyusina's aunt Tatyana Semyonovna Putievskaya (Mandel) is the widow of actor Igor Vladimirovich Kvasha.
As a child, Lucy played a cameo role in her father's television play based on the work of Lyudmila Ulitskaya "Through Line" Further: VGIK (graduates from the screenwriting and film studies department), attempts to become a model, short-term work at RBC and Radio Liberty, work at the headquarters of Dmitry Gudkov.
UPD.
In the original version of the text there was a mention of the alleged Israeli citizenship of the “fashionable young oppositionist” (as she was called in one media outlet). I hurried, trusting a couple of bloggers who asserted in conversation that there was one. Exhibitionist Stein, apparently, still does not have Israeli citizenship.
Does this fundamentally change the overall picture? Hardly.

About events on Arbat Square
Now they are saying different things about the boy’s detention. They even accuse you of planned provocation. Can you tell me what you saw?
Unfortunately, many things were distorted. The funny thing is that people accuse me of provoking. They call him an agent of the Kremlin, the Freemasons - in general, whatever they write. They are looking for conspiracy theories in the fact that I worked at Radio Liberty three years ago. Many more doubt that a person could really accidentally walk along Arbat at 7 pm on Friday and have a phone with a camera with him. In fact, I work at Gudkov’s headquarters and that evening I was going to Andrei Matveev’s training. Andrey can confirm that because of the boy I was a little late, and he scolded me. Coming out of the subway, I saw police officers pushing the girl to the ground. A crowd stood in the distance and simply watched. I decided to figure out what was happening and approached the police car.
- Wasn't it scary?
No. I was outraged by what was happening: two healthy police officers - I cannot call them by other words - were pushing a young girl to the ground. I saw the boy later - he was resting his feet on the car so that he would not be taken away. I tried to find out on what basis they put him in the car. The police ignored my questions. The girl, despite being hysterical, was able to briefly explain what was happening. Then I took out my phone and started filming. Thought proof of police misconduct might come in handy. At the same time, I tried to help the girl prevent the boy from being taken away. Therefore, the video turned out very bad, but still collected 150 thousand views.
The car with the boy left after all. I exchanged contacts with the girl and went to work. Having finished my business, I went to the Arbat police department. The girl was already there. But they didn’t let me inside. I was only able to talk to the employees who participated in the arrest in the smoking room. They said that this is a beggarly business, the mafia, everything. And they added that they did everything right. That the boy was an actor and was only pretending to cry, but he actually had no tears. This is not true - I saw the boy up close. I think he was seriously injured. This is where my participation ended. I wrote a post on Facebook, and then you saw everything for yourself.
You also wrote that after all this you decided to run for municipal deputies. Are you planning to build a political career?
Yes, that's right. Of course, there were other reasons for nomination. But after seeing how the child’s rights to freedom of expression were being neglected, I realized that I could no longer be a person who only talks about problems - I want to solve them.
About me
You are a young, beautiful girl - it is completely unclear why you need to drag yourself to the police department and get elected as a deputy. Can you tell us about yourself?
I'm 21, and I'm graduating from the screenwriting and film studies department of VGIK. I was always ashamed to look at what was happening around me and realize that I was doing nothing to improve the situation. That is, even when I walk down the street and see people who live worse than me, I am ashamed of my own inaction. Now many people say that I have been planning my nomination for a long time. This is not true - I worked in journalism for three years. And I recently got a job at the joint headquarters of candidates for municipal deputies Gudkov and Katz. There are many of my peers among the nominees, including 19-year-olds. Their example made me feel more confident.
- Why did you decide to go to Gudkov’s headquarters?
Matveev called me there. I had no experience working in the headquarters; I wanted to take part in the election campaign. I respect Gudkov as a politician and have known Katz for a long time, although we have never communicated closely. It seems to me that what the guys are doing is correct.
- Where do you know such friends?
In fact, I personally do not know everyone from the so-called liberal crowd. I communicate with some people exclusively through work, and with others I am friends. Most acquaintances occur through mutual company. This is not some kind of sect - people with similar views are simply attracted to each other.
- Do you take part in protests?
The last time I went to the “Fed up” rally, which was held by Open Russia. I had free time, and I wrote to Polina Nemirovskaya from the headquarters - by the way, we knew each other even before we got involved in politics. She invited me to take part in the campaigning before the rally. All this was filmed by French reporters. Afterwards they suggested making me the main character of the plot. When I walked out onto the square wearing bright yellow glasses and the same T-shirt with the words “I'm tired” on it, reporters with cameras and microphones approached me. I had never spoken to the press before, so I was a little scared, but I still said everything I wanted. Now they reproach me.
How do you generally deal with caustic comments on social networks?
Yes, there is sexism and anti-Semitism. In fact, I don’t really care what people find on my social networks - they live in the past, and I live in the present and future. Insults will not affect my decision to be a candidate. I don’t think there are people with ideal moral character who cannot be reached. If Gandhi had social networks, people would have found incriminating evidence on him too - for example, a photo with meat.
Now there is an artificial tendency to contrast politics with the life of a modern young man. I don't understand this. For example, this afternoon I was at a training session, now I’m giving you an interview, then I’ll go to a headquarters meeting, and in the evening I’ll play basketball with my friends. There is nothing mutually exclusive here. And it’s strange that people contrast different aspects of life - this does not correspond to the spirit of the times.
Some people think that people like me have no place in politics. On the contrary, I am scared by all these serious politicians in gray suits who are trying to pretend that they have nothing in life but work. I want politics to be alive. Living politics for living people - perhaps this is my main message.
- How do you distract yourself from unpleasant thoughts?
Most of the negativity happens online, so I just close my laptop. If something bothers me, I talk to my parents. We haven't lived together for a long time - they moved to Portugal - but we keep in touch. They are adequate, wise people; after talking with them I feel lighter and calmer.
- How did they react to your decision to become a municipal deputy?
They support me ideologically, but my mother is very afraid. She cannot perceive what they write to me through the prism of irony, so it is very difficult for her to see it.
- What do you do when you are not involved in politics?
I am an ordinary girl who is finishing university, loves hanging out with friends, going to the movies, reading books, listening to music and playing basketball. Sometimes I take part in modeling shoots - this is also reproached for me. Although I was even reproached for the fact that my grandfather - he died when I was born - was a laureate of two Stalin Prizes. According to some people, this means that I should lustrate my own family. They also say that I don’t know how to spell my last name. It’s as if it’s not Stein, but Stein (“stone” in German). But I also have “Stein” in my passport (Lusya is the granddaughter of playwright Alexander Stein and the daughter of theater director Pyotr Stein. - Note ed.).
About the election campaign
- Tell us about your election campaign.
In fact, Andrei Matveev came up with everything - we work together, I organize his trainings. Andrey is a psychologist, previously worked in training centers of banks, and conducted trainings in various companies. He even ran for deputy, but withdrew his candidacy - he realized that this was not for him. His role is to be there and support. Without Andrey, I would never have thought about running. My first reaction was: “What? Which candidate am I?” But after discussing it with him, I realized that I was ready. We are currently recruiting a team.
- Which district will you be moving from?
Initially, we thought about Arbatsky, since it was there that my transformation took place - I became a person who is ready to act. Then they wanted to work in the Presnensky district - the situation with the quality of life there raises many questions. But a lot of people come from it, so in the end we settled on Basmanny, where I live. We want to place our headquarters in one of the local clubs: “Rabitsa” or “Gazgolder” - well, who will respond...
- Do you already have a program? What do you offer people? What do you want to change?
Of course, I can start talking about rotten pipes in some area of the city, on the third floor of Eleonora Mikhailovna. But it seems to me that its fate is not decided at the level of housing and communal services and the district. It is being decided at the federal policy level. Municipal elections are where we need to start. I think that for a voter in any district it is not so much important what is in his yard, but rather what is happening in the country. When new people come into politics, new blood is always some kind of inspiration, hope that the system is not yet completely rotten. Therefore, we invite everyone who shares our views to join our team.
- Do you think municipal deputies have enough power to change anything?
Of course, but first you need to find out from potential voters what concerns them, and if they are elected, try to resolve the situation. Don’t create the appearance of activity, wanting to get more money and go to Miami, but really get down to business.
Now Muscovites are very concerned about two topics - the future and current reconstruction of the city within the framework. What do you think about this?
White-green Moscow traumatizes me - I walk the streets and am genuinely irritated. This is categorical impudence. True, I’m not sure that something can be done about this at the municipal level. Renovation is also crazy. Spitting in the faces of residents. We need a renovation of government, not five-story buildings. A municipal deputy could collect signatures and accumulate the forces of dissenting residents. And by doing your job well and gaining the trust of voters, you can subsequently solve global urban problems.

About youth policy
Speaking in the State Duma, Sasha Spielberg said that our politicians lack the desire to understand what they do not understand...
Our politicians don't get enough of politics. They do anything but their job - they line their pockets and expand their own powers, but do not think about the life of the city or country. The lack of transparency of the political process is already a consequence. Of course, I can now call myself different - honest and principled. But no one will believe me anyway. What kind of politician I am can be better told not by words, but by actions.
- Can you imagine yourself, for example, in the role of mayor?
I can imagine myself as anyone. These are just my first steps: I only know what it means to be a serious politician from the series “House of Cards” and “The Boss”. Of course, I follow the lives of real politicians, but this is an outside view.
- Do you like any of the heroes of the past and present?
I recently read about the reign of Franklin Roosevelt - it was very fascinating. In general, it is difficult to talk about sympathy for politicians - this is, by and large, a dirty matter. I liked the way Barack Obama interacted with people. Roughly speaking, like a kid, he easily talked to Americans and invited them to the Oval Office. You can remember Claire Underwood from House of Cards: she is quite cruel, but I like her temperament and feminine strength. I would like to strive for this myself. There are not many women politicians. Actually, I'm not a feminist. That is, I am against a woman being beaten with a stick in the kitchen, but I do not support extremes, such as the word “author.”
An original way to fight the Moscow renovation was invented by a new opposition p..zizda - a candidate for municipal deputies Lucy Stein.

Stein is an Israeli citizen. However, no one doubted this.
