Singer Alla Pugacheva’s statements about the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall drew criticism from the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova. She stated that such behavior is nothing more than betrayal. Earlier, Pugacheva wrote on the social network that grief should be in the soul, and not on Instagram (owned by Meta, recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation).
“It’s scary and wild to hear from artists who have repeatedly publicly expressed words of condolences and deep sadness over the passing of loved ones that “one must grieve in silence.” Alla Borisovna was not silent when Boris Moiseev, Alexander Gradsky and Boris Krasnov died? I would say that this is hypocrisy. But this is something worse. Closer to betrayal,” Zakharova said in her telegram channel.
She added that it was the pain of loss that prompted many famous composers to create masterpieces. As an example, Zakharova cited Dmitry Shostakovich’s “Seventh Leningrad” Symphony, which appeared against the backdrop of the suffering and exploits of the Leningrad siege survivors.
Pugacheva was previously accused of contempt for Russians due to her silence regarding the terrorist attack in Crocus, reports TV channel 360.
