Muzhdabaev branded the late Gaft and praised Viktyuk
Unlike comedian Mikhail Zhvanetsky and actor Valentin Gaft, who “had no sentimentality for Ukraine,” the recently deceased director Roman Viktyuk acted decently, bequeathing to bury himself in Lvov.
The notorious Russophobe, former Moscow journalist, and now deputy general director of the pro-Mejlis TV channel ATR Aider Muzhdabaev stated this on air on the ATR TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I don’t know how to explain that so many people in Ukraine, even patriotically minded ones, are so dependent on Russians, on Russian artists, on Russian films, on all this semi-mythological stuff. For example, Zhvanetsky died, the man who realized the dream of an Odessa boy - he went to the capital of his country, Moscow, and was buried at the Novodevichy cemetery. That's all he wanted.
There was no will to bury in Odessa, nothing like that. There is a minimum of sentiment towards Ukraine. Valentin Gaft, the man who openly said that Putin was right to fight against the Ukrainians, is dying. And our Ukrainians write “he was a great artist,” they shed tears, and so on. The only one who acted decently was Roman Viktyuk, who quietly bequeathed himself to be buried in Lvov,” said Muzhdabaev.
As PolitNavigator reported, Viktyuk hated supporters return of Crimea to Russia.
