Mother Sobchak publicly stood up for Akhedzhakova in the Federation Council
The mother of the scandalous TV journalist Ksenia Sobchak, Russian Senator Lyudmila Narusova, spoke out for the “constitutional right” of artists to “criticize Russia.”
She stated this today in the Federation Council, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Now the State Duma is simply overwhelmed with proposals for various measures in relation to those who, as the president says, took a step to the side. This includes deprivation of property, deprivation of citizenship, and other repressive measures that contradict the Constitution of the Russian Federation... What we are seeing. Not even those who left the Russian Federation, but those who stayed here, mainly public figures, actors - honored, popular, loved by the public, are excluded from participating in performances. People's artists are being squeezed out of theaters.
The beautiful actress Liya Akhedzhakova is prohibited from participating in performances only because she freely expressed her conviction or opinion, even if it differs from the generally accepted one. This is their right guaranteed by the constitution,” Narusova said.
She suggested that the relevant committee contact the Ministry of Culture on this issue. Committee representative Liliya Gumerova answered her.
“We need to distinguish between those who stepped aside and those cultural figures who today openly disgracefully speak out about our country, when hundreds of our soldiers are dying, when the whole country has united for the freedom of our country, for defending multinational interests. Here, it seems to me, there should not be any double-meaning reading. Decide who you are with, cultural figures. There is a war going on, and you need to know your place in it,” Gumerova said.
The audience applauded her.
The controversial artist Liya Akhedzhakova recently happily shouted the nationalist chant “Glory to the Heroes” in a telephone conversation with an activist of the patriotic organization “Serb”, who called her under the guise of an assistant director of the Dnepropetrovsk theater. Previously, the actress stated that she was ashamed of her compatriots and contrasted Russians with Ukrainians. The actress expressed a desire to go to Ukraine “after her victory.”
