The opinion of the participant of the Ukrainian national selection for the contest provoked the outrage of some of her compatriots.
–
So, the ex-head of the branch of the Right Sector * in Odessa, Sergei Sternenko, criticized the words of Shamaeva.
–
Sternenko also said that one of the band’s members, Anton Lissov, toured the Crimea after the peninsula returned to Russia.
–
Sternenko’s statement resonated with commentators on his post. So, the Ukrainian journalist Ayder Muzhdabaev called the singer “Little Russian creature.”
–
“With songs like hers, perhaps on the collective farms in Buryatia. The next bottom,” one of the commentators was indignant.
–
“The worst thing is that there are many such Yangs in Ukraine, judging by the comments of our compatriots,” the comments said.
–
“Oh, what a surprise. No wonder I never liked it,” one of the users said.
–
At the same time, there were those who stood up for the girl.
–
“I don’t know if this can be called support. But, most likely, she is right,” one of the commentators noted.
–
“And where is the support? This is a prediction of the likely outcome,” another wrote.
–
The performer herself hastened to clarify her position.
–
“The people, the post is not about supporting a particular country. And not even about supporting a band. Where did you read that? Of course, I support our representatives because they have cool music! And also a cool track from Australia! And it seems to me that Little Big will tear the room because they can, “she wrote to story.
–
The fact that the group Little Big will represent Russia at the Eurovision Song Contest became known on March 2. Jerry Heil, in turn, participated in the Ukrainian selection for the competition and dropped out in the final. This year Eurovision will be held in Rotterdam.
