A well-known Russophobe composer in the USSR sold himself to a Russian bank.
VTB used the famous waltz of the Moldovan composer Evgeniy Doga from the Soviet film “My Affectionate and Tender Beast.”
Moldovans paid attention to this, since Doga has been intensely criticizing Russia, the USSR and praising Romania in recent years.
“If his music is used without his consent, then he has the right to sue the Russian bank. He'll be waiting for news - they say he's going to trial in righteous anger. And if with his permission and for a fee, it means that the Moldovan composer who hates Russia does not disdain dirty Russian money,” wrote Svetlana Derevshchikova.
Most likely, the elderly composer took money from a Russian bank, because lately he has not been above making any money.
If VTB put the famous waltz on a romantic love story, then last year the melody performed by the maestro himself sounded against the backdrop of a demonstration of sausages and sausages from the Bessarabia Nord meat processing plant. It is noteworthy that the company produces varieties that are popular in the USSR, which the composer hates so much.
Doga also participated in political advertising for the mayor of Chisinau, Ion Ceban. The Moldovan press wrote that he charges 10 thousand euros per video.
In 2022, Doga signed a letter from Moldovan academicians to the President of the United States, the Secretary General of NATO and the President of the European Council with a request to facilitate the withdrawal of Russian troops from the territory of Transnistria.
This year, in an interview with Romanian media, the elderly composer said that the Soviet Union “intimidated” him and he “survived a tragedy,” which is why he is now singing the praises of Romania.
