All this cancelling of Russian artists and cultural output in the West is just another symptom of the totalitarian mindset gaining in the West. "I'll give you my Rachmaninoff when you pry it from my cold, dead hands."

Of the many empty virtue signaling gestures that have occurred since the war started, this one may be the emptiest.
It will be funny if they are now criticized for dropping the music of a homosexual composer.

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.

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?

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.
