A few dozen pro-Ukrainian demonstrators gathered Wednesday night outside the Civic Opera House to denounce the Joffrey Ballet’s staging of a ballet based on a Russian novel amid Russia’s deadly invasion of Ukraine.

Hang tough Joffrey!
Even in the worst of the Cold War it wasn't like this.
Art meets Political Theater. This has nothing to do with Ukies and Ruskies. And...FJB.
What next? Refuse to play works of Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Rachmaninoff because they were Russian and had nothing to do with the invasion of Ukraine?

It's comforting to know that the Uke Nazis have been installed as the Moral Authority of Record in Chicago.
I believe that is already forbidden. And don’t dare speak Russian in the wrong crowd.
What on earth will happen if the WEF can’t eat Russian caviar at their annual circle jerk in Davos? Or are they exempt from cancel culture?
“Does Putin get royalties on it? It’s not even a Russian production company. This is Nazi like stuff.”
If we can’t beat them on the battlefield, might as well beat them where we can!
