TV and radio personality Baiba Sipeniece-Gavare, whose critical remarks about Intars Busulis’ and Brainstorming’s friendship with Russia caused great resonance in society, has not changed her mind on the issue, Evija Kalnbērz’s “Forgiveness for Them Will Not Have” published in Private Life.
Baiba Sipeniece-Gavare explained that in 2014, when Russia occupied Crimea, Donbass and Luhansk, the whole world realized that Russia was a country from which it should isolate itself as much as possible.
Latvia also expressed its position clearly and unequivocally, but some artists decided to ignore the fact of occupation.
“It’s one thing to drive around unobtrusively, to pay royalties at parties, and another to be a part of a very dangerous weapon – propaganda. Without this weapon, there could be no war. I’ve been working in this field for 30 years, so I have friends in Ukraine and Russia. Here, Russian colleagues knew how to say – there is an order from above that artists from abroad should be involved in entertainment projects, especially those who have imposed sanctions, thus irritating everyone: “See how your sanctions work!” And such artists were, besides talented.
After the entertaining and really glorious shows on the main channels of Russian propaganda came the real gladiators – solovyov, Kiselyov, Skabayeva – and everyone shouted in one voice that the Baltic states would settle their bills with Ukraine.

“It’s hard to believe that Intars and the Brainstorm guys weren’t aware of the content of these channels,” Baiba said, adding that they had details of a weapon called propaganda.
As reported, In the LTV interview, the radio personality Baiba Sipeniece-Gavare expressed: “This is a very big lesson for all of us, and here I want to address my colleagues, the show business, those who drove and served the oligarchs, they exacerbated the situation, they are complicit, and I said that in 2014, that it will not be good not to flirt with the enemy, because by driving and making music at their parties, serving them, you gave them the feeling that they are normal.
Here is the result. And, no need, “Brainstorm”, now come to the concert, to the stage and pretend that there was nothing. You are complicit. Intar [Busuli]you are also complicit, and your entire service team.
And here we stand in the face of disaster, it’s just because your shirt was closer to your conscience. Unfortunately, that is the case, and we can now only ask the highest forces to survive so that reason can prevail. “
