Ukrainian artist Oleg Tistol stated this in a commentary to the Kyiv magazine “Novoye Vremya”, answering the question of whether he visits the Russian Federation and how he feels about those who have been visiting this country in recent years.
"No way. The last time I was there was in 2011, and even then I really didn’t like it. And in general, I have a categorically negative attitude towards the very topic of traveling to Russia. There is a full-fledged war going on. Although there are a lot of different categories, I consider any of the options unacceptable. Not to mention it's downright dangerous. This is a country of complete lawlessness. And most simply do not realize what they are doing. This is a country of guards, for whom it is a great pleasure to mock the defenseless. And when you get there, you become defenseless. And this is what most of our people don’t understand,” Tistol assures.
“We need to explain to our compatriots en masse what can await them, so that this is a more informed choice. In fact, Ukrainians need to take a short course in how to behave with Russians,” suggests the publication’s interlocutor.
It's worth noting that this isn't the first time Tistol has been cited for statements questioning his sanity. Previously, as PolitNavigator reported, he claimed that Moscow is the capital of North Korea.
