Ukraine replenishes the "black list" of Russian stars

The latest news from Kiev once again made us question the adequacy of what is happening there. Yesterday Ukrainian activists held another rally. A small group of young people appeared at the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine. The purpose of the rally is to hand over a new list of cultural figures, which the Ministry should include in the "black list", as celebrities have managed to offend the Ukrainian people by their actions.

The document included 568 people, from which it is necessary "to protect the information space of Ukraine." Activists demanded to ban any broadcast of songs, pictures, programs and any other content where the persons listed are listed.

Activists included in their black list not only those who signed in March 2014 an open letter to the Russian president with support for his position in Ukraine and the Crimea. The list of "objectionable" included those who lit up at a concert dedicated to the anniversary of Crimea's entry into Russia, and even those who counted Ukrainians and Russians as one people. Literally next to each name is an explanation of why this or that figure did not please Ukraine . Judging by the work done, the activists took a lot of time and energy to collect "compromising evidence".

Ivan Urgant was on the black list for a joke in 2013

Who would have thought that the popular TV presenter Ivan Urgant would remember his evil joke in one of the issues of the Smak program in April 2013, when no one was aware of any Maidan. Despite the fact that the actor did not sign an open letter to Putin, and for a joke soon apologized, the ether with a felling of green Vanya was remembered. The list indicates that during the transfer of 2013 on the first channel Urgant stated: "I chopped the greens like the red commissar of the inhabitants of the Ukrainian village."

The guest of the program, the director and actor Alexander Adabashyan, played along with the host, and, shaking off the knife, said that he was shaking off the remains of the inhabitants. Now the director is on the blacklist with the presenter, and the Ukrainian audience probably will not see the legendary "Baskerville Dog", where Adabashian played Barrymore magnificently.

Boris Grebenshchikov will not come to Ukraine

Nobody expected that the great guru of domestic rock, Boris Grebenshchikov, who prefers to keep neutrality all the time and not make loud statements about Ukraine, also appeared on the list of those who are a threat to the Nezalezhnaya.

The zealous activists jealously took the phrase of the legend of Russian rock about the equality of the two peoples. In one of his interviews BG said:

This is one people, just speak different languages. <...> I never in my life saw any evidence that they are different, even when they tried to speak Ukrainian.

The new list includes not only Russian stars, including Larisa Dolina, Diana Arbenina, Denis Matsuev, Valery Syutkin, Dmitry Kharatyan, Lyudmila Senchina, Elina Bystritskaya, and Boris Grachevsky (goodbye, Eralash !), and Mikhail Boyarsky ... However, it is easier, perhaps, to list those who did not get on the list, which activists promise to regularly replenish with new names. Along with the Russians, the black list was decorated with Gerard Depardieu, Steven Seagal, Goran Bregovic.

If Ukrainian officials approve the submitted list, then Ukrainians will no longer be able to see such favorite pictures as "We are from Jazz", "Love and Pigeons", "Assa", "Moscow Does not Believe in Tears", "Rodnya", "Azazel" "Slave of Love" and thousands of other wonderful films ...
