“The insidious shelling of residential neighborhoods and civilians, as well as the threat of using nuclear weapons – is a manifestation of the powerless rage of the fascist regime of Russia, which has no chance of defeating the Ukrainian army and nation in a direct military confrontation,” writes Walentyn Wasjanowicz, author of such hits as “Atlantis” and “Agreement”.
“The whole bloody history of Russia, imperial, Soviet and post-Soviet, is based on a bloodthirsty attitude towards its own neighbors and a nation that has never been an ethnic or cultural unity. What does culture have to do with it? The fact that it uses its cultural and artistic achievements all the time in order to conceal its aggressive actions, the idea is that a country with such a huge cultural heritage cannot act like a bloodthirsty cannibal, but history has already shown us that it can. [Rosja – red.] this is how she behaved and will behave. The whole world must finally understand it, “he assessed. He also added that” Russia needs to be surrounded by a cultural iron curtain. “

“Russian culture has always been an instrument of legalizing the crimes and crimes committed by the authorities. Russian soldiers and bombs are no different from the weapons of propaganda, which perhaps do not kill people directly, but justify these crimes and divert attention from the most important things. countrymen, Russia is killing innocent people in Ukraine. The boycott of Russian cinema and culture is an attempt to rid the world of the propaganda of a terrorist state, “wrote Nariman Aliyev, who made his debut with” Home “.
