Russian culture offering of the second stamp culture Wladimir Putin. The Russian President has bluntly condemned sanctions and measures against the Kremlin, including boycott campaigns registered in different parts of the world against exponents of Moscow culture. The former KGB agent is quoted during his speech JK Rowling“Symbol” for the West’s supposed habit of wiping out people and historical events.
“In Hollywood, they make films where the army that defeated fascism is the American one, but if you look at the number of soldiers that fought in the East, it was the Russians,” Putin began during a video conference meeting some representatives of Russian culture: “They don’t even mention who dropped the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they just say they are vague ‘allies'”.
The Russian President then accused the West of erasing the truth, such as “recently they erased JK Rowling, and pointed the finger at progressive discrimination towards all things Russian, a trend seen in several Western countries. The reference to cultural cancellation is clear: “They remove Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich and Rachmaninoff from the posters, Russian writers and their books are cancelled. The last book burning operation was carried out by the Nazis 90 years ago”.
JK Rowling immediately distanced himself from Putin’s words, emphasizing in a post published on Twitter that “it is better that criticism of Western abort culture does not come from those who are currently slaughtering and jailing civilians for the crime of resistance against their opponents.” poison. Strong answer, without ambiguity.
