Oh Geez...
We should remove ALL THE EXHIBITS of cavemen in museums because some of them went on to breed... RUSSIANS!!!!!!!
Are you going to your town’s Dumping Of The Russian Dressings?
It will be funny if they are now criticized for dropping the music of a homosexual composer.
Tell Tchaikovsky the news!
All your dead composers are belong to us!!
If we’d just get rid of everything deemed ‘bad’ or we disagree with...
We can all be Borg!
Now we’re in theater of the absurd. It’s as bad as renaming French Fries.
Frigging imbeciles. Do they still play Wagner?
all they are doing is cancelling themselves. I won’t go to a venue that does this. BLACKlisted. Nor will i go see an orchestra or symphony that does this. The only way to stop the virtue signaling of this sort is to stop giving them your money.
That’ll show em!
All this does is confirm to Russians that the cold war was more than about politics. It is a dislike of them as a people and seeing them as untermenschen. No wonder they will turn away from the western club of culture snobs
Mussgorski and Rachmaninoff were Putinitas! Who knew?
I’ll take “Self-Fulfilling Prophecies” for $100, Alex!
We’re a nation of as***. No different than ripping down Confederate Soldier statues. But there’s a couple statues of Lenin around still.
Stupid. And I say this as someone who wants to see the current Russian army destroyed.
I’ve done my share.
I’ve gone thru all our cookbooks, and ripped out and shredded all the pages with Beef Strogonoff recipes.
Borscht recipes too.
Not posting or playing Russian music or art is ridiculous. Those composers and artists had no connection with Pution
I’ll bet 99% of the Ukrainians are of Russian ancestry.
