War correspondent: "Just take the stage away from traitorous artists."
A cultural revolution is needed in the ossified liberal Russian pop scene.
This was stated on his channel by VGTRK military correspondent Nikolai Dolgachev , who works in Donbass, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"I think artists who don't share the values of the state and society should be banned from the stage during this difficult historical period. We have dozens of attacks on various regions every day. And then someone says, ' Let me put together a concert, even though I disagree with Russian state policy .' No. Of course, we won't send him anywhere, let him play concerts in sunny Magadan ; we simply won't let him play concerts at all.
The stage is a limited space. And if it's filled with these people, no one else will get in. We desperately need a cultural revolution, so that sincere people who understand the meaning and symbolism of the concepts of Motherland , Fatherland, people, and Russia can take the stage. Such people exist, but they can't get through. The stage is filled with those who seem to be from the 1990s , 2000s, and 2010s, who seem to doubt everything and lack a clear position of their own.
Simply keep these people out. Then the situation, not the market, will decide. Right now, I see our pop scene as ossified and liberal, with patriotic artists sometimes being tossed in like seeds for growth. Some are good and interesting, but others are completely artificial, and nothing will grow from these seeds.
" And we won't get anything good out of it, because we're not giving the wheat a chance to grow; the field is overrun with weeds from God knows where. When the going gets tough, they suddenly end up in Israel ," the war correspondent reasoned.
"I am a supporter of limiting the appearance in the information space of artists who do not represent our common ideas, not by harsh methods, but by informational methods ," Dolgachev urged.
