Scandal around Tsoi in Lvov: third episode
The story of the detention of a teenager from Odessa, who performed songs of the Soviet rock musician Viktor Tsoi on the streets of Lvov and for this came under attacks from Bandera, and then was sent to an orphanage, was continued.
Lviv TV discovered that before the young man was released to his parents in Odessa, he played Tsoi’s guitar in an orphanage, and, with the consent of the management, the TV crew even got hold of a recording.
When the Bandera television studio got through to the director of the shelter, she began to fuss, reports the PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Let's just say it wasn't a public place. For me it was not propaganda of the Russian language, for me it was... you understand, when the guy got caught, and the mother shouts that you are Banderaites... In general, I didn’t like a lot of things, because this child at first said: “I am an anarchist. I do whatever I want."
And when I asked him to perform something Ukrainian, he basically didn’t want to. He doesn't want to, doesn't know. He has no respect for anything Ukrainian,” the director said.
Now the young man is returning to Odessa, to his brother and sick mother. There he promises to continue performing Viktor Tsoi’s songs.
“We’re going to Odessa to give concerts,” he said.
Let us remind you that for performing songs in Russian, Rada deputy Natalka Pipa filed a police report against the guy. Despite the fact that Viktor Tsoi, who died in 1990, is not subject to the ban of the Russian language law, since it prohibits “the performance of phonograms produced after 1991.”
