famous russian actress Chulpan Khamatovawho had asked the Kremlin to end the “special military operation” in Ukraine, has gone into exile in Latvia, the destination of many Russian dissidents.
“I am afraid to return (…), they have given me to understand that returning is dangerous. Now I am in Riga. What I know is that I am not a traitor. I love my country very much.” Khamatova said in an interview published by a Russian journalist on Youtube.
Khamatova, who rose to fame in 2003 with her role in the German film “Good Bye Lenin!” (2003), she admitted that in order to return to Moscow she would have to “stop saying that this is a war and a tragedy”.
Lying to myself and to everyone, living a lie. That in the best of cases, if they don’t force me to call black what is white “, he stressed and recalled that his Ukrainian friends have told him what is happening in the neighboring country.
She considered that, after the approval of a law that provides prison sentences for spreading “false information” about the Russian Army, in order not to go to prison she should, upon her return, even apologize for not supporting the start of the military campaign in Ukraine.
The actress, who called for the end of the military campaign the day after it began, admitted that she cannot consider “alien” the suffering and “humanitarian catastrophe” that the Russian military intervention is causing in the neighboring country under the cover of a “release”.
Khamatova, who in the past had refrained from publicly criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin, is confident that his position on the Russian military intervention in Ukraine will not influence his charitable activities, for which he has earned great prestige in Russia. and abroad.
In recent years, he has participated, among others, in a play that attempted to rehabilitate the figure of the last Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, and in the film The Petrovs with Flu, of Kiril Serébrennikov, director judicially persecuted by the Kremlin. (I)
