The Role of Culture as a Former Protest

Being Russian and being a cultural icon such as yourself, inevitably you are getting drawn into the politics of the Ukraine war. Valeriy Gergev was dropped by his management because of his close ties to President Putin. Do you think that's a fair outcome? It depends on the person. Some people have their hands clean. And they should not be refused the possibility of doing what they're doing. I've known Ukrainian better dancers who cannot dance the music better by Shikovsky. Which is stupidity.
