Strange but nobody condemned American culture and ordinary people when the US invaded Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and Syria. I guess this would have been called discrimination which did not match the principles of democracy. Now everyone has forgotten about any principles.

[mmmhmmm]

You can oppose the war but that doesn't mean you should discriminate Russian culture.

[spaghettiwestend]

he's absolutely right, but a lot of us in the West are also tired of cancel culture and everything goes attitudes towards sexuality and family values. Cancelling the best of Russian culture and music shows how stupid and narrow minded the West has become. And yes, it reminds of what Hitler did.

I love art, music, literature, especially Russian classics, and nothing will stop me from enjoying them. What Dostoevsky, Tchaikovsky or Tolstoy have to do with this situation, they're from other century. It's so ridiculous, so childish for a grown up politician!

So nice to see Wion back.
This Ukraine crisis has shown true colours of colonizers.

When all of them walked out with Zelenski at the summit, I said it, this is just amplified cancel culture. Solidarity is one thing, being sheep is another.

[TRUTHRULES]

I have to say I agree. You can’t cancel everything people think and everything people know. Some of these things go back hundreds of years. Some of us don’t want to accept what others do we just want to be who we are and what we know and what we’ve been taught. I don’t care where you’re from the USA Europe anywhere in the world. Stay strong with your beliefs and to your heart. Be Good💜

Canceling those performing music composed by long dead Russian musicians is absolutely ridiculous. So, no more Nutcracker Suite because the West wants to fight a proxy war with Russia. It's never about the people, never.

[BladeRunner]

He isnt wrong.
The hysteria that has gone through the UK in the last month is unreal.
Pure hatred towards anything Russian.

[ArunKumar-otos]

The west just tried cancelling wion in youtube. So apparently he is right. There is no valid reason for racial discrimination for whatever reason. US cleared law to take 1lakh Ukraine immigrants but they had restricted movement from other asian countries. Similar fashion europe is ready to refugees from Ukraine but not elsewhere...So before west preach others with cancel culture or whatever.. let it practice what it preaches first.

[CatsandCosmic]

Those great composers don't deserve such a low class audiences either. Don't let them tarnish tsaikovsky, etc. Their music will be appreciated in many other parts of the world

[hermanjonkers]

I have to admit ....He's right and I totally agree with him, , , , and I live in Australia.... What's wrong with everyone "manning up" and take responsibility for their own actions I instead of running to mummy and daddy when they don't get their own way..

[skdey]

@WION, good job, show Russian side of the story too along with their leader's interviews and announcements. That is what true neutrality is.

[Scott_]

Media needs to express what real leaders are saying than make stories

[Chris-lfdl]

One of my favorite movies is " From Russia with love"

[spaceted]

I've got loads of Russian Classics, War and Peace. Tolstoy etc. and loads of books about Russia in WW I and WW2 and the Revolution !!! I haven't heard anything about banning accounts of Russia !!! Not many people here in the UK know much about the History of Russia. For example the ten battles they fought against the Nazis, including the battle of Kursk !!! I hope we don't get drawn into a war with Russia !!! That would be Terrible

[frost]

I respect Putin for keeping a straight face while addressing cancel culture. He just meme'd the world

[dtrrump]

Thinking is difficult, that is why most people judge

[pm]

Making the association to cancel culture speaks to the simplest minds among us.

[neversayneveragain]

Putin is right about Western cancel culture which I think is absolutely toxic. Russian music like Tchaikovsky & Rachmaninov is the greatest music in the world. Love & Respect to Russia! 🇷🇺❤🇰🇷👍 from Seoul Korea
