In a recent interview with the founder of the publication «GORDON» Dmitry Gordon, Ukrainian director, music video maker, and producer Alan Badoev spoke out about the Russian singers Taisia Povaliy, Ani Lorak (Karolina Kuiek), and Philipp Kirkorov, who were born outside of Russia but now earn their living there, losing their ties with Ukraine.
Badoev expressed his disappointment with these singers, stating that they have turned their backs on their homeland and are now supporting the aggressor country. He believes that their actions are a betrayal to their own country and people, especially during such a critical time for Ukraine.
Taisia Povaliy, who was born in Ukraine but now resides in Russia, has been a popular singer for many years. However, Badoev believes that she has lost her connection to her Ukrainian roots and has become a «propaganda tool» for the Kremlin. He also criticized her for performing in Crimea, which was illegally annexed by Russia in 2014.
Ani Lorak, who was born in Ukraine but now lives in Moscow, has also faced criticism for her support of the Russian government. Badoev believes that she has turned her back on her country and is now using her talent and platform to promote the aggressor country. He also pointed out that she has received numerous awards and recognition in Russia, which only further solidifies her ties to the country.
Philipp Kirkorov, a popular singer and producer in Russia, was born in Bulgaria but has Ukrainian roots. Badoev expressed his disappointment in Kirkorov for not standing in solidarity with Ukraine and instead choosing to support the aggressor country. He also noted that Kirkorov has been given a high position in the Russian music industry, which only strengthens his ties to the country.
Badoev believes that these singers have lost their connection to Ukraine and are now using their talent and fame to support the Russian government’s agenda. He also stated that their actions have consequences, as they are contributing to the propaganda machine of the aggressor country and causing harm to their own country.
However, Badoev also acknowledged that these singers have the right to choose where they want to live and work. He believes that it is important for them to remember their roots and not forget where they came from. He also urged them to use their platform to promote peace and unity rather than supporting a country that is causing harm to Ukraine.
In conclusion, Badoev’s words serve as a reminder to these singers that they have a responsibility to their country and people. Their actions have consequences, and it is important for them to use their platform for good rather than supporting a country that is causing harm to Ukraine. Let us hope that these singers will take these words to heart and use their talent to promote peace and unity in Ukraine.
