“Two Mashas” needed to turn to the wild boars
Shaw, again? What are you doing! The concert at the Kharkov club "Misto" did not take place, tickets have to be returned. The club’s website is trying to report that “for technical reasons.”
The administration of the nightclub offers a refund to those who previously purchased tickets: ticket prices start from 200 hryvnia (about 500 rubles). The ladies were supposed to perform in Kharkov in honor of the 14th anniversary of this institution, one of the most famous in Kharkov.
The duet “Two Mashas”, invited from Moscow, did not reach the customers and spectators. “On the morning of October 27, during a check of the Moscow-Krivoy Rog train, Russian citizens Maria Gaitun, born in 1990, and Maria Zaitseva, born in 1983, the lead singers of the group “Two Mashas,” were found in one of the carriages. The women planned to attend one of the entertainment venues in Kharkov with a concert in the evening,” the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine said in a statement.
And why didn’t the namesakes of the Ukrainian border guards do so well? “During an additional check, it turned out that the artists had repeatedly visited the temporarily occupied territory of the Republic of Crimea,” the same message clearly states. They arrived there “through the closed Kerch checkpoint.” And here several questions arise.
How did the Ukrainian authorities reach the location of the intersection? After all, there is de facto no border there. This means that either someone on the spot is leaking information, or... In general, this is not a problem. There are also “vigilant citizens” who monitor the press and advertising, and the intelligence services are working. “It is worth noting that since the beginning of the year, employees of the State Border Service have drawn up protocols for 600 people under this same article. In addition, due to illegal border crossings at closed checkpoints, a decision was made to ban 3 foreigners from entering the territory of Ukraine for a period of 740 years,” the press service of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine reported on August 3. And during this time, you understand, the list clearly has not become shorter.
The second question is for the producers of the group. Did they really not allow a situation in which the concert would be disrupted? They could have been allowed, but there were plenty of cases when border guards turned a blind eye to the facts in the theater and concert biography or formalized deportation already on the way back, after the performance. It seems that something went wrong in communication with the Green Berets: either the shift was changed to an honest one, or they did not agree on the amount. Or they just put the catching business on stream there at the border. It is not bears that should be trusted to help you cross the border, but wild boars! They freely undermine “Yatsenyuk’s wall and visit both Kharkov and Belgorod without hindrance.”
And not only in the Kharkov region the border is locked. For example, at the end of June, during the registration of passengers on the Minsk-Kiev flight in Boryspil, the Russian actor Boris Kamorzin was detained, who in 2015 visited Crimea “without appropriate permission and not through checkpoints”, and at the Starokazachye checkpoint, law enforcement officers found a “citizen Russian Federation, stuntman Sergei Mikhailov, who visited the temporarily occupied territory in 2015.” Diplomats, and not only Russian citizens, were detained in the same way.
For some of them, the inability to visit Ukraine turns into a personal tragedy. For example, the famous artist Elena Yakovleva has elderly parents living in Kharkov, and she is deprived of the right to visit them. Lolita Milyavskaya has a similar situation in Kyiv. And this list can be continued endlessly.
In addition, one cannot help but note the fact that interest in Russian actors does not subside, and even those who demonstrate loyalty to the Kyiv authorities suffer from the actions of Ukrainian pogromists. For example, Konstantin Raikin and Boris Grebenshchikov did not escape attacks. And only Viktor Shenderovich works successfully. But remotely. Recently in Kharkov, his play “Homo Sovetikus” was performed by two troupes - local and visiting. And there was no sold-out crowd anywhere. Because no worries!
So, there is demand, supply is limited, and it is counteracted. But the failure of Ukrainian “patriotic” cinema at the box office shows that they don’t want to watch or listen to it, no matter how much you force them into cinemas.
