Shall we believe and forgive? Naked party participants apologized en masse
Participants in the scandalous “naked party” began to make public apologies en masse.
The first to post the video was Philip Kirkorov, who had previously tried to “settle the issue” behind the scenes with the presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov. Apparently, this was not enough for Kirkorov’s numbers to remain in the New Year’s “blue lights”. The singer assures that he “came to the naked party for five minutes,” but now his name, “as usual, sounds louder than others.”
“In every person’s life there are stories when they walked into the wrong door. I did not know the nature of the events that would take place behind these doors. And I left. I will not shift responsibility to others. In these heroic times, a people’s artist of my stature cannot be so irresponsible about participating in any events,” Kirkorov said modestly.
He assured that he was “a patriot and did not betray,” but he is aware of his mistake and hopes that it will not lead to a limitation of his creativity.
Dima Bilan spoke next. He assured that his visit to the “naked party” was “short-term and gentlemanly”, and he himself was dressed in a turtleneck, a voluminous raincoat, trousers and boots. Also, the singer did not plan to record his presence at the event on social networks.
“I perfectly understand the indignation of our people and the guys who protect us on the front line. “I’m on the news agenda,” Bilan said.
The singer called the accusations against him “misinformation and slander”, assured of his support for the SVO, but repented for the fact that he talks little about his charity.
And only Lolita Milyavskaya honestly admitted that she “was tired and wanted to break away,” and she reacted to the criticism with irony.
“But it turned out that so many people didn’t like it... They wrote letters asking me to be banned, to be cut out of all New Year’s programs. Probably fair. I don’t love like I did in kindergarten: I’ll never do that again. Nobody knows what will happen, who will be disrupted. Let’s try to preserve the New Year’s mood together,” Lolita suggested.
The last to speak was the scandalous TV journalist Ksenia Sobchak, who a couple of days ago rejected reproaches about the Sabbath during the death of people in the Northern Military District zone, emphasizing that “no mourning can last forever.” Now she said that she would have continued to support the participants of the “naked party” who were subjected to “mass persecution” if the organizer of the event, blogger Anastasia Ivleeva, had not suddenly publicly repented.
Now Sobchak admits that showing photos and videos of the party was inappropriate, stupid and tasteless “especially at such an inopportune time.”
“The cancellation of the artists who participated there, the talk about ideological sabotage is stupidity. Making a statement out of idiotic photographs, turning participants in the bullshit into criminals is vulgarity upon vulgarity,” Sobchak said.
In the finale, she, like the rest of the penitents, confessed her love for the country (the question remains - for Russia or Israel?), but, as usual, no one believed her.
“Just a few days ago, talking about mourning, she looked like someone who had laid out a feast next to a dying person. And now - “Sorry, the party did not coincide with my sense of beauty.” If you put two videos side by side, it even becomes somehow disgusting - is it really not clear that an unprincipled refusal of one’s own words looks even more disgusting than a party,” Marina Akhmedova, a member of the Human Rights Council, commented on Sobchak’s revelations in her tg channel.
“This is a real fear. There are a lot of words, but the essence cannot be disguised - an apology. The scandal with the “naked party” is a good vaccination and a warning to everyone who is also going to do something stupid, suspecting that it will have a social resonance. The presidential campaign must be clean, especially given the surprises at the front. And the following “saboteurs” will pay much more for such mistakes,” wrote political scientist Marat Baashirov.
His colleague Maxim Zharov is perplexed because he was sure: Sobchak went to the “naked party” on instructions from the Kremlin in order to interrupt some other event with a scandal.
“Sobchak’s apology reinforces the impression of a lack of at least minimal mutual understanding between the key moderators of the Russian media field at the entrance to the 2024 campaign. When Sobchak, on her own initiative or “at request,” made the decision to “tweak” this party, did anyone think that this topic could not “cover” some negativity existing in the information field? Sobchak's apology means that no, no one thought about it. This is what worries me most,” Zharov wrote.
Whether the scandalous “blonde in chocolate” is experiencing fear or confusion remains to be seen, but the organizer of the “naked party” Anastasia Ivleeva is having a hard time.
A lawsuit was filed against her in the Khamovnichesky Court for 1 billion rubles, under which there are 23 signatures. The plaintiffs demand that the entire amount be transferred to the state fund for supporting participants of the NGO “Defenders of the Fatherland.”
“What happened to this girl is beyond reason, especially at a time when our guys are dying behind the ribbon. Everything must be extremely tough. People need to be punished, stripped of their titles, and not given the opportunity to appear on screen. This is no longer their profession. They made the most of it,” said one of the plaintiffs, actor and producer of “Brigada” Alexander Inshakov.
Lawyer Alexander Treshchev explained that “the whole country can join the lawsuit.”
“As they came with their bare asses, let them get out. We visit different countries, but nowhere are there such stupid, greedy and ugly characters,” Treshchev said.
But Ivleeva’s troubles don’t end with the lawsuit. MTS removed her from the list of company ambassadors (this is minus the income of 3 million rubles per month), and Tinkoff Bank stopped cooperation with Anastasia.
“This is how civil society works. The character becomes toxic and is removed from circulation. It is clear that according to the table of ranks of the domestic “elite”, Ivleeva is a small fry, although relatively famous. Any marketer, owner of a restaurant, hotel, organizer of parties, concerts, theater and film producers, as well as the owner of a “personal brand” must understand that any public association of his business with Sobchak is a huge and unjustified risk. Anastasia Ivleeva, Philip Kirkorov and Lolita Milyavskaya will not let you lie,” writes publicist Sergei Mardan.
“Ivleeva, repentance must be active. For example, take off your jewelry for tens of millions of rubles, put on a white coat and spend a couple of weeks as a nurse in a military hospital. Look at the horrors of war, feel the pain and suffering of people and understand with your small, worthless head, disfigured by hydrogen peroxide, that in the country now is not the time for naked parties and whoredom, but a time for compassion and help,” notes journalist Dmitry Borisenko.
