The 3rd season of the vocal show “Duets” was aired on the Rossiya 1 TV channel. The audience is promised: intrigue to the last – after all, the artists do not know with whom they are singing, hits loved by millions and a constellation of wonderful performers.
Everything is just like that. Only once again did artists leak on air who sharply condemned the Russian special military operation, but this does not prevent them from participating in the show on the state channel.
Eg, Alexander Revva appeared with a song by Nikolai Noskov. Last year he fled the country. Ukrainian media wrote that he and his family moved to Spain, canceling all concerts in Russia, citing “technical problems.” For a year and a half, “Arthur Pirozhkov” and the former resident of the Comedy Club did not appear anywhere, but now he has burst onto the air of the state television channel. Revva’s father said that since 2014, he has never come to Donetsk and they even quarreled over the comedian’s position. However, the artist’s mother explained her son’s reluctance to communicate with his father by the fact that he abandoned his family, and Alexander was raised by her second husband.
“I assure you, my son loves Russia. Sasha will never spit in the place where it took place,” the woman assured, adding that he is only “for peace in the general understanding of the word.”
And he didn’t run away anywhere, he just went on vacation, Revva’s mother justified.
Now Masha Zaitseva sang in a duet with Alexey Goman. And on the day the special military operation began, the artist published a collage of Russian and Ukrainian flags on a social network, declaring that she was “with all my heart” with her Ukrainian fans. The duet “2Masha”, in which Masha Sheikh participated together with Zaitseva, “took a break” already in April last year. The reason for the breakup was not stated, but fans did not rule out that joint work had become impossible – one singer spoke out on the situation in Ukraine, the second remained silent. Later, the singer, observing the indignation of many subscribers on social networks, wrote that she “loves Russia,” which gave her an education and a career, and also always treated Russian fans with great respect, not noticing the obvious dissonance.
Well Ani Loraksang with Sergey Lazarev, who has already appeared on NTV as a member of the jury of the show “You are Super,” which caused bewilderment and a negative attitude from part of the Russian public. Some directly called the return of the Ukrainian Lorak to Russian TV a provocation. But she continues to go ahead – on September 27, the performer held a large-scale “anniversary” concert in the Crocus City Hall near Moscow. Ukrainian Caroline Kuek herself – this is the singer’s real name – has already explained how she managed to maintain her place on Russian television and hold concerts in Russia amid rumors about her support either for Ukrainian refugees or the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
“That means I am needed, and my mission is not over. I can serve people with my art,” the artist said without being modest.
She also said that she is not afraid of anything. That’s the whole secret.
