He stated this on the air of the Direct TV channel.
“I then told Vyacheslav Kirilenko, who was the Minister of Culture, that it would be good to inform us. Because people like Gaft, who is wacky, said that they would never be with any of us. I said: you did a wonderful job, now Medinsky doesn’t need to make blacklists. This is akin to if Stalin printed a list of Stirlitz and underground workers in Berlin with appearances and telephone numbers,” Orlusha said.
He also complained that he did not receive any preferences after being included in the “white list”.
“We did not receive any support. When crossing the border before I turned 60, I needed either an invitation or an explanation of what and how,” Orlusha complained.
As Politnavigator previously reported, rock musician Boris Grebenshchikov, who continues to come to Ukraine and communicate with corrupt politicians, asks not to take photographs of himself and not to post these pictures on social networks.
