Hungarian, Polish.
Ukranian, Russian. Whatever.

They did try to tell Tchaikovsky ... They went to his grave and dug it up. Amazingly, they found him with a thick stack of sheet music and a pen, busily marking out notes, one after another.

He turned to them and said “Oh I’m just laying around de-composing”

All these died long before the current situation. And the Russian government doesn't benefit financially from their works. What do they get, bragging rights?
Many of these Russia writers and composers were banned in their own country.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Russian salad dressing has been dropped by grocery chains.
Maybe the should ban ballet. And chess.
Clearly the "cancel" is hateful and anti-gay, n'est ce pas?
Is Seattle going to pull down their Lenin statue?
