Valery Meladze is no longer a welcome guest at big concerts
After the start of the special operation to save the Donbass, a split occurred in Russian show business. Some artists spoke out against the SVO and hastily left the country.
Singer Valery Meladze also showed disloyalty to what was happening, but did not cut ties with Russia. He continued to work on the territory of the Russian Federation, speaking at corporate parties and private parties. The situation escalated after the appearance of Valery Shotaevich in Dubai. At a festive concert in the UAE, the vocalist uttered the well-known slogan of Ukrainian nationalists, provoking a huge scandal.
Now the Russian leadership is trying to find justice for actors, singers and directors who have turned their backs on the country. Journalist Alexander Malkevich calls for the creation of an official register and recording in it the sins of all those “who, in difficult times, took the side of the enemy.” Stars, whose position is contrary to the state, cannot feed on the territory of Russia, they must be on the “black lists”, the journalist believes.
“Therefore, the ideal option is if our legislators prescribed all these things. You messed up, identified yourself, you oppose your country – you have two ways: curtail your activities and leave, or repent, ”said Malkevich.
Meladze, the journalist says, can “repent” – publicly apologize for the “emotional outburst” and go to charity concerts in hospitals. Alexander Malkevich believes that the artist can no longer get off with sentimental ambiguous posts “for world peace”. Now he’s been well taken care of.
“It turns out a completely unfair situation: from the first days of the special operation, one artist both morally and financially supports the defenders, and the second one roams around corporate parties, trying to please both yours and ours. Although in relation to the latter there is a more precise phrase – he is trying to climb a Christmas tree and not scratch anything at the same time. However, this does not happen. So, we must help such people, push them to active repentance, ”Malkevich reasoned.
