The article, a screenshot of which was posted by Lazarev, allegedly cites his statement “I am leaving the Russian Federation because I do not want to be hated everywhere because of Russia’s antics in Ukraine.”
Lazarev stated that he did not say these words.
“I’m Russian! And I’ve never been ashamed of it! I sincerely love Russia! She raised me as a strong personality and a famous artist who twice represented his country at the Eurovision Song Contest, defended her honor in the music arena and proudly carried the Russian flag”, he wrote.
Lazarev noted that he had been working in Russia for 25 years and complained about “pressure on the country and people.”
“Incredible anger and Russophobia. Our task is not to quarrel, not to blame, not to become embittered. Today we must be united like never before and support each other,” he wrote.
