Shevchuk, Makarevich and Grebenshchikov were embarrassed to condemn the murders of civilians of Ukraine
Russian cultural figures, who signed an open letter condemning the actions of the Belarusian authorities, showed duplicity by turning a blind eye to the bloody events in Ukraine.
Russian writer, participant in the war in Donbass and former adviser to the head of the DPR Zakhar Prilepin stated this in his blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Prilepin demanded that the musicians Boris Grebenshchikov, Yuri Shevchuk, Andrei Makarevich and others who signed the letter also condemn the Ukrainian authorities, who have been waging war against their own population for the seventh year.
“I myself worked in the riot police for a very long time, and even dispersed rallies. But I know how to work and how not to work. Here they are there, in Minsk, working as they shouldn’t. They do not work well, they are unscrupulous. But, my friends. What has been happening all these years in Ukraine is completely beyond description. They didn’t just disperse people there, they burned and killed them there.
And none of the above mentioned letters wrote categorically. I didn’t write, that’s all. Only, as if under a spell, they repeated: “This is a foreign country, they will figure it out on their own.” You too will figure it out for yourself. Are you meddling in the affairs of other countries or not? I'm climbing. And you climb here, not there, but here you have a cutlet wrapped. Let's show at least some consistency. Otherwise it will turn out again like in Ukraine. Remind me how it turned out?
There, at first you shouted “You can’t beat your people.” They screamed, screamed, screamed. And then the government changed. And the new government suddenly also began to beat its people. But here you are already silent. What I mean is, if the government changes in Minsk, and the new government suddenly starts beating its people, only this time on a different part of it, you’ll write the same letter again, won’t you? Well, really? You won’t say: oh, this is another country, we don’t know, they’ll figure it out themselves?” Prilepin wrote.
