Musicians CANCELED for Being too...RUSSIAN?! (Alexandеr Malofeev, Anna Netrebko, Valery Gergiev)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 бер 2022
- Despite his many calls for peace in Ukraine and his overt words of support on social media for the Ukrainian people, 20-year-old Russian piano prodigy Alexander Malofeev is canceled by the ultra woke mob at the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. Alexander would say after ward that despite his previous Facebook posts denouncing the Ukraine war, the Montreal Orchestra was asking him for MORE posts denouncing Putin. He said he was uncomfortable with that because he worried for his family in Russia. This coming on the heels of The Metropolitan Opera in New York canceling all engagements with singer Anna Netrebko and the shunning of Maestro Valery Gergiev.

Russian musician here. Been subscribed to you for years. You have my respect! Yes, Russian people are commonly blamed for not protesting hard enough, but most of the time it's just an excuse to justify someone's anger. This is a terrible situation, but I'm happy to see that common people on both sides still have respect and understanding for each other despite of what politicians say or do.
No more brother wars💞
Easy to say when they are not the ones that have to be careful as to not get the snot beat out of them by Russian security or police. People are defined by there actions. I have a young man Igor Annikov who builds guitar pedals for me. StongateFX. He has charities for Ukraine and other countries. He is bad man ? I think not. World leaders love it when us pawns fight each other. They would lose their power if we all said no to their violent desires. We have better things to do. Because really...we do.
welp, the Russian people might wanna think long and hard about over throwing this regime, cuz tell you what, vladimir hitler talk a big game on nukes and a mighty military, frankly its lackluster and non threatening in big way, same for chyna, all talk.. the USA on the other hand has anti ballistic weaponry that will detonate and destroy any thing russia launches OVER THEIR OWN NATION!
meanwhile rishia posses no long range anti ballistic weaponry capable of fending off the SHOWER the USA can unleash on rushia... and this very well may be what the geedmongers end game is, think of all the contract money to be made by rushian elite and politicians rebuilding 3-4 major cities? it would be a literal gold rush, all to be exploited by rushian gredmongers and politicians, just as every major war is a jackpot for these creeps..
and the money the USA would make restocking the military shelves why its a win win, the rich get richer and the poor, well the poor they pay for it, in every way possible, many with their lives..
if you have any inclination ONE SINGLE leader or politician cares for even ONE civilian not known by them then all you must do is look at the prenatal hospital destroyed by a rushian scud and see the damage and lives it took, INFANTS! FFS people, the rushian military leaders fooled and lied to their soldiers and told them they were on a war game mission, training, as many of them were brand new!!! is this the act of caring? is the fact the USA sits around sucking their thumbs an act of caring? the USA could end this in a heartbeat, and then punish those responsible, buit no! they smell the money, the tactical advantage of more money and control.. the world is led by sociopaths then everyone complains when things go south? and that makes the PEOPLE SOCIOPATHS AS WELL!!!
these people could care less about ANY SINGLE ONE OF US! if you're not their friend, their blood, you're completely expendable.. figure this shit out people.. there isn't one single rushian politician or leader that give one fat ratt fugg about one single rushian unbeknownst to them, if they did they wouldn't have put the rushian people in jeopardy, but they simply DO NOT CARE.. and the sooner every single man woman and child get this THROUGH THEIR THICK SKULL WORLDWIDE the better off everyone will be, at least at that point we all KNOW WHERE WE STAND!
but you people pout there who think there is someone who might save you or someone in leadership that CARE ABOUT YOU?
you're delusional and making the entire situation even that much more difficult, especially those who are trying to alert the people of what's going pon and to shine a light on it.. no one in the USA cares about americans, they only have one true master and its green, and its called money... the sooner you figure this out the sooner you will be able to deal with it, maybe one day mankind can end this once and for all?
Westerners protested the Iraq war in the millions. Did it have any effect? Was the war cancelled? What does that say of Western "democracy"? Why are Russians held to an even higher standard?
Hey Daniel, Tank from England here ... I'm ''International' now - no borders! Right? The great divide is bullshit and people still don't get it. Good Luck.
Remember, world leaders love it when us pawns fight each other. You know pawns...the first to get knocked off the chess board. Everything starts in a small way. Let us not give them what they want. No country is clean. If you are proud Russian but hate war and think we have better things to do with our lives give me a thumbs up and pass it on. If you are not Russian thumbs as well. We have better things to do with our time.
Sometimes a pawn makes it to the other end and becomes a queen.

I would agree with you except for one thing- the Blake Association is constantly trying to kill at least one of my remaining loved ones. As if killing my parents, my brother and quite possibly my niece is not enough for the CIA and the Gestapo/SBU. Oh, and what little time I have left I spend to make sure my friends in Ukraine are not being tortured by the Gestapo/SBU. So, sorry- I don't have time or energy for empty virtue signaling.
Well said. Back in the 90s there was a joint exercise with the Russian navy in Hawaii. A friend and I were asked to play at an embassy party for the Russians. The Russian navy band performed for about half an hour and then everybody mingled. We started playing and pretty soon we were surrounded by a bunch of Russian navy band guys who wanted to jam. We couldn't understand them except for the word "Beatles". Luckily my friend knows a whole bunch of Beatles songs. So he led, I followed, and the Russians joined in. We had so much fun that we went into overtime, but the audience enjoyed it too. It's one of my best memories. The Russians are just like us. They love music, they laugh and sing and have fun. They got tired of their relatives getting shelled by Nazis for 8 years. Over 13,000 dead. I think the liars and warmongers here in the west should be cancelled. Wouldn't that be a change!
Absolutely! Russians and the west, USA and Europe should be friends and allies, but someone (evil globaaalists??) are pitting us against each other, this lunacy needs to stop!

This is so wrong. The citizens of a country should not be held accountable for what their Government does.
They very much should be held accountable...

Thank you so much for your post!
As the son of a German mother and a Scottish father a product of the second world war and someone who is old enough to be your father let me say a few words Brad. My father was a D Day veteran and one of the first liberators of Belsen. He was decorated with the Military Medal for his bravery by the then king. My mother was an international hockey player Germany. They met when under curfew my father who was a sergeant MP. asked why she was out. She replied she was looking for her lost dog. From that meeting a romance ensused and she came to Scotland and they raised six children. My mother had been raised on the great German composers and a true love for classical music. In the 1950's the first Edinburgh International Festival was held and the then great conductor Wilhelm Furtwangler came. My mother wanted to see him but had no money so she pawned a gold ring my father had swapped for a radio in Berlin in 1945. Furtwangler was received with great applause only a few years after this world war. The point I'm making that music will hold nations together,no Russian singer or musician should be sanctioned. Best wishes from me of your long term viewers. Peace.
Cancelled for supporting actions of Putin.
This world has gone completely off the rails. God help us !!!
This tyrannical shift sprouted in the US a ling time ago when the mainstream media and state apparatus in the Pentagon lost control of the narrative and propaganda.
It’s not about democracy.
Remember they pursued Assange in 2010 (Obama regime) and he is still incarcerated without charges laid.
The target for the ruling class has always been the people as especially those that display open dissent.
Democracy and freedom is an illusion they kept going as they stuffed their pickets with wealth and fed off more and more power.
Even Orwell and Huxley would be spinning in their caskets only getting the timing slightly wrong.
True, but we only have ourselves to blame. Either in complacency or complicity.

Hey Brad, been following your videos very far from US and I want to tell you that I admire your frankness..(Y)
I agree with you 100% . Alexander Malofeev only wants to give to the peoples of this Earth his deep love for music from all composers wherever they were born. The Montreal Orch. are cowards and hypocrites in this matter. Alexander does build bridges between all people everywhere with his brilliant performances. I met him and he is so very kind and modest. Shame on you Montreal Symph. and all other hypocrites.
I saw that the Cliburn was not removing the Russians from competing in their competition. I am glad that not all organizations are following the BS. There is no reason to punish artists.
I am so happy to hear that the great Van Cliburn's legacy is not being besmirched by this nonsense. That would be shame on top of shame.
One of the best debut album, hell one of the best albums period, on the right side of your mantle. Listened to & played some yesterday. ;-)

Any ideas on how to get this ringing noise out of my amp? It's a new Firefly build and it rings when the Boost is on and turned more than halfway up. I posted a video of the noise. It could be something simple but unfortunately my knowledge doesn't go too far beyond reading a schematic. Come check it out I'm open to suggestions.
ua-cam.com/video/LVTf5uExMMU/v-deo.html
@Christine Thank you that seems to have helped. Moving that away from the 12AU7 (which is being used as the power tube) seems to have helped a lot. It got rid of the ringing sound however there is still a humming sound which gets reduced when I switch my pickups to a humbucking position and completely goes away when I turn the volume all the way down and comes back if I unplug the guitar cord from the amp.
Do you think it's likely that the rest of the hum is because there is not enough distance between these tubes? There's only three quarters of an inch spacing between these tubes.
It's like the cockroaches complaining about the rats.

@The Guitologist, I was wondering what your thoughts are on the leaked Kremlin memo which states that Tucker Carlson is essential to its propaganda strategy?
Interesting... So some obvious questions there. Who wrote it? Who leaked it? Why would they write it and/or leak it? Who published it? Where did they publish it? What is the chain of custody on this "memo'? Cui bono? Who benefits from the writing of such a memo or its leakage?
You do remember the Steele dossier, right? It wasn't that long ago.
@@TheGuitologist not sure of the answer to any of those questions, just wondered if you knew about it or had a take on it
Sucks to be them 🤣😆
People complained about the war in Iraq and the fabled wmd, it changed nothing. 😢
Global Sports and music events was meant to help artists from warring countries come together and rise above politics. Now they are hijacked by politics which is really quite disgusting. Imagine you spend your whole life practicing in a piano room and all of a sudden someone asks you to comment on a political stance that you know so little about and penalize you for it. These people who banned him knows nothing about music nor politics.
Google has demonetized every Russian creator.
It is basically a description of the art to address the issues of society. Only circus artists are exempted from that... But as a person, you should be naturally obliged to be invested in what's going on in the very society you live in. That's why we got where we are: they don't care.
Absolute BS. This CIA shill knows darn well that Uta Hagen's little princess is on the boards- and yet it opens its stupid mouth because it needs a paycheck. I've worked with Mom's acting students and the professional actors and techies for 20 years- BEFORE 2014 I WAS ONE OF THEM! For God's sake, I was doing " What Is In My Bag? " when Oleg was attacked in Kiev in 2014! Do you guys see how fake and psychotic and dangerous these shills are? My Godfather Paul Leroy Robeson didn't have the cajones to stand up to Stalin and protect his Jewish friends back in 1953. How dare you demand that kind of death wish from a regular actor, musician or a singer? Our very own country is slowly but surely is turning into the Soviet Union, Take 2 and the CIA and the FBI are morphing into the NKVD or the Gestapo/SBU. How many of you Harper Valley hypocrites are actively resisting this Wokey Woke crap which you know by it's TRUE name- Bolshevism???

Hey Brad,
thanks for your work. I'm Russian, doing music in Paris, France, can't stand what's happening. Several professors from my uni contacted me to say sorry for what's going on with the art, culture.. It's gone really way too far away. Culture is something what's supposed to connect us.
By the way, Pink Floyd have just announced removing all their music from digital providers for Russian and Belarus users.. Hectic. Well, we will be fine, as out torrent thing is still working. After all, those who do this cancel culture thing (including artists themselves) will loose money from tours (they win a fortune while touring in Russia), streaming, they will have to come back to the "market" one day. But the reputation will be gone already.
Hi there Sergei.
I'm really sorry for the Russians who cannot connect to cultural sources such as music. But what's more important, what is the average russian's access to worldwide news like?
Keep up the good spirit, and greetings from Sweden🙂
It reminds me of what they did to the Jews after all they went through they lock them up in cages in the United States of America. The Japanese any Japanese citizen locked up for being Japanese.

And the United States should be ashamed for not helping them they're coming for us next

I'm desperately trying to understand how supporting the Donetsk Opera is supporting Putin or my Reb brother. Anna and Oleg and the Artistic Director have all said the same thing- the money were meant for the actors, the techies, the costumes, the props. But all of a sudden the world is incapable of understanding everyday Russian!
And in one of his interviews Oleg Tsarev was struggling with the Russian term for " props ". Someone actually had to whisper " rekvizit ". In what way is my brother connected to the Arts in general and Opera in particular? This is not just " wrong "- this is insane!

Free speech? Better support free speech in Russia where it currently costs 15 yrs in prison for protesting the invasion. BTW, Russia has "canceled" the walls of Kiev operahouse in the latest shelling. And finally free speech laws can't force a private company to continue cooperation with war criminal enthuiasts. These people were NOT casually being Russian and got backlash for no reason as the guy in the video would have us believe. They should be on a sanction list.
What shocks me is that not a single CIA shill mentioned that our poor Sasha Malofeev happens to share the last name with another Malofeev- the sponsor of Igor Strelkov. That's precisely the reason I use Victoria Bondarenko TSAREVA- my brother's last name. Because I realize the power of that name. But annoying the CIA and the FBI is not very high on Sasha's list of priorities so my heart goes out to him.

What pisses me off is the fact that up until 2 years ago Gelb had no problem whatsoever with what Anna did or didn't do on Donbass . There is an interview with Gelb and Anna and he doesn't even behave like he's Anna's " boss "- he's being a total disgusting sycophant. I mean- Anna never pretended to be Frida Kahlo or Isabel Allende so she's just being your typical a-political vacuous actress/singer/artist. And Gelb is listening to her like she's reciting Shakespeare! So he's not even a Banderite- he's a total fake. How could this ever end up as the Head of Met???

I have great respect for the Russian people and even their government on the whole. What Washington and NATO had done to Ukraine since 2014 starting with the coup and leading to endless armament and terrorism in the Donbas, and blocking Minsk II, is incredibly bad. We continue to encourage violence by sending weapons there endlessly, repeating what we always do with proxy wars and having no concern for Ukrainians despite the rhetoric.
Scary how few people realize the actions of NATO in the last two decades have led to this. Although the media is doing its best to "fact check" this, the West promised Gorbechav no new NATO expansions Eastward in treaty negotiations in the 1990s. We reneged on that promise, and clearly this pissed off the Russians. 2+2=4

Furtwangler, Karajan or Bohm had to wait a couple of years immediately after World War II to conduct orchestras again after having been part of the musical and cultural propaganda apparatus of a state that clearly had expansionist intentions towards its neighbors. In this aspect, Gergiev or Netrebko have the best musical references. A few years playing in Omsk or Rostov and they will return to the West later on.
You truly believe the relationships can ever be the same? I cannot speak for Netrebko or Gergiev but America is dead to me. I'm " divorcing " the love of my life because I never knew her. Not even " divorcing "- since our whole relationship was a lie I'm getting " an annulment " .
@@tatianalyulkin410 There is always time for another romance, another love. Regarding singers and musicians, it depends on the talent, the artistic excellence they are able to offer and whether or not they have been closely involved in the Putin regime. Anna Netrebko, if she only sings and doesn't say many bellicose things, i think she will be able to continue singing as well as she does. Even if we are obliged to stand her husband. On the contrary, I think Gergiev's career in the West is over. For multiple reasons.
Like I said- I don't think Gergiev cares at this point.
So sad. I agree.
Pulling back the cover to see who or what is the driving force behind all this reveals just who one should expect.

Wow it's gotten way to far
so Happy to hear sense , thanks Brad
Malofeev's concert in Vancouver was cancelled too. But, I'm not so sure that any Ukrainians instigated any of the cancellations. It's more likely that the impresarios were concerned about the future of their own careers if they made the wrong decision to allow Russian musicians to perform. The impresarios were afraid of a backlash; for them it's always all about money. In the end, it's almost always about the money for everybody. However, I seriously doubt that picket lines would have formed around concert venues. Nobody I know hates Russians or Russian culture, it's the Czar that is the problem. Don't forget what the Czar did to the Polish people and the Chopin family piano. Eventually, the Russians will assassinate the present Czar and order will be restored for a while longer because it's always all about money.
Couldn't agree more it's mad and very unfair
Can I speak directly to you, Brad! My name is Maksym and Im a member of Kharkiv Guitar Quartet, as well as several less classical music formations. Our beautiful city is close to russian border so we have strong cultural connetions. We almost exclusively speak russian at home, btw. Do you know what russians do now with our city, with our life? Our houses are destroyed our neighbours are dying. They throw bombs every day and call us nazi... Do you know that? And those lie from their TV - they say they dont touch civil citizens. Now we run from there, all our guitars, all our lifes is destroyed... Im your big fan , you always telling the truth...but Malofeev will have a good career, he is a talanted one, whats about my friends and colleagues... why do you think alcoholic Gergiev has no job in Europe? Because people of culture is resposible for Russian fascism. And I dont belive you dont get it! World must stop russian agression, cancelled concerts its very small price for our lifes.
This kind of action isn't helping your cause. It will hurt it, if anything. People look at this and wonder who the real liars are. You do realize that Putin has been warning NATO for many years not to expand NATO Eastward. When a leader lays down a red line and it continues to be challenged, it's asking for trouble. I'm not defending what's happened to you and your friends and family. It's a terrible thing. But We are being ramped up for something much, MUCH bigger here, and only a fool will not see we are being manipulated.
@@TheGuitologist Sorry to say, you see whole situation from totally another angle! Sanctions is a strong answer and it will help to hold down this agression. The real fool who cannot see that its mechanizm of deterrence. And who is real liars? People for whom Z is another nazi symbol?
@@maximtrianov3661 there are no good answers. Sanctions don't hurt the leaders. The hope is the people turn on those leaders but they seldom do.
@@TheGuitologist I'm sorry Brad, but the NATO argument is only an excuse for furthering Putin's false casus belli argument. Ukraine being a member of NATO doesn't put Russia at any greater "risk". I know it's difficult for civilians to grasp, but it doesn't take a junior intel analyst on his first day in the S2 shop to figure it out. NATO is a defensive organization and if they wished to be aggressive against Russia they wouldn't need Ukraine. Ukraine had a majority claim in making Russia the greedy bastard child it always has been. Unfortunately, powers change entire cultures are suppressed and people get gaslighted into believing lies about their heritage. This is about greed and suppression of Ukraine. Russia is not Ukraine's brother. More like a methed-out great nephew who always steals from his great uncle so he can cop.
Am I wrong in thinking that NATO's expansion is the result of sovereign nations requesting membership, which requires the approval of the member nations, and not the result of aggressive action by NATO towards Russia?
Keep up the good work bro
Well said my friend, virtue signaling is insidious and counter productive to a free society! Brad I really enjoyed your live stream but was not worth a dam at work the next day. I want to leave my kids a better world, I may not care once I’m gone but I am trying to give them the tools to survive. I am sure you will do the same. Thanks Brad.
One might argue the opposite: that virtue signaling and moral posturing is getting morally enraged over a couple of cats losing their gigs while 10s of thousands are being killed by bombs and 2,7 millions have fled a free country in the heart of Europe in 2022.
I love Brad's videos. Hope his bleeding heart for Malofeev and others will mend soon.
@Christine What the actual f**k do you know about what I know about Ukraine??
If Mexico invaded Texas under the pretence of defending Mexicans against Trumpist Mexican-hating f**ktards, and the subsequent military reaction from the US to protect its territory caused harm to the Mexicans (and indeed other Americans) in the region, would the US be to blame??
This is neither ignorance, nor virtue signaling or double standards. Prior to the Russian INVASION of Crimea and Donbas eight years ago, there was no persecution of Russian people in the region, neither was there any persecution of "Russian" people in the rest of Ukraine. This was entirely a Putin construct to somehow rationalize his invasion - the first step of taking territorial control in Ukraine.
I have been to Ukraine several times (first time in 1998) and have friends from all over the country - many of them actually happen to have Russian as their first language and even more of them have relatives who lives/used to live in Russia.
Since Putins invasion of Crimea and Donbas, the support for NATO membership and a closer integration with Europe has exploded, also within the Russian speaking parts of the population. Before 2014 the majority supported a neutralist path, but Putins aggression completely backfired and have spawned a great independence movement within Ukraine across the political and ethnic spectrum. Naturally the presence of Russian and insurgent troops in the occupied regions have led to polarization within the communities in the East and South-East, which is exactly what Putin wanted.
What are your credentials? You've been to Ukraine much?
@Christine oh yeah.. and joined youtube on February 27th 2022. We all know who you are "Christine"
Do you truly believe that the Ukrainian conflict is like an episode of Star Wars? That the Ukrainian Loyalists have not killed or hurt anyone in almost 10 years??? I'm sorry but your " position " has nothing to do with reality.
The WEF evil grows and grows and the sheep gobble it up
I'm just waiting for ibanez to drop max ostro, really hope that doesn't happen 😕
Amen Brother! Things are definitely bad there is a lot of good people in the world but it seems like the bad ones seem to have the Voice now, hope things turn around
Thanks for your contribution to Rev 19:4 voice, although disliking your music taste, but that is probably my shortcoming
i thought war live streams on our phones would help us end all wars. all it did so far (looking at ukraine conflinct) is getting us emotionally heated up which is a very bad state to be in, especially when its about a war. over here in europe many people are suddenly pro war, thousands of untrained people go to fight for ukraine voluntarily, europe ramping up their military budget to crazy hight artificial numbers, etc.... i mean like germany coming up with '100 billion' euros of extra budget for military. why 100 billion? because it just sounds nice.
this situation dosnt really look good for all the people in the west (especially in europe) and in russia. at the least europe and russia will be further divided, which harms both. if only europe and russia could find a common ground and start working together. i am sure that would be a strong union. of course russia need to step up their politics a lot for that, but war and sanctions probably wont help much in that regard. we missed a big chance after the fall of the soviet union. europe should have helped russia become democratic and get rid of soviet structures within politics. just like the US helped germany after WW2.
oh well
Wars are far more complex and only the citizens from each side suffer the most. Nothing good comes from censorship. Thanks for sharing!
Way back in the 1950's I had an argument with a high school classmate about Israel;'s policy of not performing the music of Richard Wagner. I took the side against that policy. Later that same day, a mutual friend informed me that the girl who I had been arguing with was a holocaust survivor and both of her parents had been murdered. by the Nazis. In retrospect, 60 years after that embarrassing incident, I still am disgusted with myself for the position I took. Should that have a bearing on the. current cancelation of Russian artists? Yes it should, because the barbarity of the Russian destruction of Ukraine is such a blight on Russia that all Russians should bear a communal guilt that is enough to make ALL Russians rise up in unison against their evil leaders.
Jesus Christ, that's a fucked up view, but it happens to be one you share with all the jihadi terrorists of the world. They too believe all Americans are responsible for what our government does...even those of us who cannot stand the federal government.
No, that's not exactly true. As Herbert Berghof's little girl and someone whose adoptive Jewish family could have been killed when the Nazis and their Ukrainian Nazi lapdogs had occupied Kharkiv " I " would never go to anything connected with Wagner or Lenni Reinfenschtal. But yesterday at my photoshoot I ran head on into a DVD copy of her " documentary " and...nothing. I didn't throw a shit fit, I didn't write a letter to the Editor demanding that The Streetcar Museum in SF be fined or defunded or cancelled. Outside of that DVD the festival WAS fantastic and I highly recommend it. But my hands WERE shaking when I was shooting after I saw that abomination on display for everyone to see.
when our generation is gone the world will be a total toilet and i think its gonna implode
Yes I agree Brad, people as a whole people take things way too far. That's just another sad part of this whole thing. May God forgive us all!
Time to cancel everything and sit in your little boxes with your VR glasses and be told what to think. Edward Bernays would be so proud…
Damn straight.
2 Things. Thanks for existing & thanks for broadcasting, Brad. Deon from Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
same from germany, stuttgart.
Even though I have loved ones in Ukraine, I don't blame Russian people for the aggression of a tyrant.
And to carry that further, I would wonder even WHICH tyrant? The people maneuvering these pieces of war and propaganda around on ALL sides have absolutely ZERO moral high-ground for the claims they are making. This particular conflict didn't drop out of the sky a week ago and there is TONS of valid blame on ALL sides to point to. Until all these criminals start to just reap some consequences for even some of their actions, then this will continue to get worse for the masses who have absolutely NOTHING to do with any of it. Consequences are only for peasants I guess.
@@TyroneDamShewlaces You know damn well who I was referring to. If you don't have anything useful to add then I suggest you quit bumping your gums about shit you know nothing about.

It is really beyond my comprehension that we even have to explain to anyone why it is morally unacceptable to host a Russian artist at any public event when the whole world has condemned Russian aggression, we are taking 6 million refugees, providing financial and military aid to the invaded Ukraine and sanctions against the Russian Federation are still in place. What is most incomprehensible to me is that it is necessary to explain this even to the artists themselves, someone who should be on a certain level culturally and morally and have certain social awareness. Real art is supposed to reflect society, to make the world a better place, not live in its own bubble. These people have the opportunity to send a clear signal to their country that something is wrong, but they choose not to do it for whatever reasons. And unfortunately, that is the core issue of this war: no one cares and most of all those most involved. It's not Putin who's waging the war but Russia. And they let that person run the country as his property for more than 20 years without any opposition and now they afraid? I bet they are, but little too late. You think that's normal to be afraid of your family if you openly disagree with your goverment? Did you also think about families in Ukraine and how they feel right now? So what are we supposed to do to fix this mess which dragging us all along? Everyone lives in some kind of society and is responsible for its actions. Start to learn to take responsibility ppl. What kind of an apology is it, that you were all your life thinking about music and somehow missed that the very country you live in is sinking into an abyss? ... And the line is very clear: we boycott these people to let them know that something is wrong (because most of them are clearly not capable of realizing it themselves) and that they should start to doing something about it. When we start persecuting them for what they are and taking our anger out on them, only then will it be wrong. ... And I guess I have to explain to you WHY NOW is it important. Because the war is going on RIGHT NOW and tomorrow will be too late.This isn't just another woke excess of some bored ppl. This is very real thing and everyone in Europe feels it. Maybe for you on the other side of the ocean it's just an annoyance.
NATO is the aggressor here. You probably don’t even know this war started in 2014. I’d venture a guess you know nothing you didn’t hear on CIA-controlled media. You are an absolute fool, and your lack of awareness is what’s going to end up leading us into WW3.
@@TheGuitologist Russia is already at war and yet here you are making excuses for Russian artists to completely ignore it because they are just artists. Where is your striving for awareness in their case?
It's truly sad when a good-hearted, young, Russian artist is cancelled.....Alexander Malofeev....that is......
Do you miss her Brad?
OMG!!! For the first time I agree with you! Rob
i like elixier. other than that i agree with brad.
Well put, Brad. Thank you.
If they cancel Viktor Tsoi, I will lmao. I mean… he’s been dead for many years. And he wrote a prominent anti war song in the 80’s with ‘Gruppa Krovi’ in the band Kino. But, since the Cardiff Philharmonic recently cancelled Tchaikovsky performances… they probably will. All the while being totally obvious to the irony.
All these idiots cancelling and erasing their perception of Russian identity, hypocritically, aren’t even aware of Tsoi. They couldn’t probably even identify anywhere in Russia other than Moscow or Saint Petersburg
Didn't you get the memo? The BS is over, the masks are off. We're at war with Russia. Not Bolshevism, not Socialism- RUSSIA. That's all.
I totally agree with you man
Well said Brad, I'm a big fan of Anna'Netrebko who was cancelled for not condemning Putin. She would be committing suicide and condemning her family and friends to a life of misery if she dared to condemn him.
Nonsense. You're either a CIA shill or you're truly ignorant of what happened in Donetsk in 2014.
Would you prefer countries to take more serious steps and the third world war has started or would you prefer them to turn around and not notice what Russia is doing in Ukraine? Sanctions and turning away from all what is Russian did not come overnight, and is bigger with each passing day. In my opinion, canceling a boy's concert is a better step than starting WW3 or pretending nothing is happening. Maybe some people in Russia will ask why kid's concert was canceled. Do you have any other idea? So far, no sanctions help.
This isn’t going to help either. Demonizing all Russian people is helping the goal of getting us in WWIII. You’re being manipulated and don’t even know it.
@@TheGuitologist What is your solution to this situation? Could you share a link to a video and exact time of where you describing it?
You realize opposition channels on Russian UA-cam have millions of views within 24 hours? You realize millions of Russians have family and friends in Ukraine? Being xenophobic towards them will turn them anti-American and anti-western apart from already being anti-Putin. As an American who actually speaks Russian, you don’t realize all our western propaganda. Russians aren’t as naive as cherry picked videos in western corporate media would have you believe.
What innocent western country do you come from, the entire Middle East, Latin America, Africa and Asia is dying to know.

You had me partly in agreement until you said, " This is the lowest of the low" and I was forced to try to imagine something even more despicable...didn't some guy and his complicit forces just shell a maternity hospital somewhere?? Murder fleeing evacuees in cold blood?
Canceling concerts and terminating cultural exchanges is a leverage move because as powerful as any one man may be, however effectively engineered his design to conceal the truth from the Russian people, or how skillfully he employs agitprop, Putin isn't in Ukraine at all, much less alone, killing pregnant mothers. Is it fair to the artists? No, it is not. Might it be another indication to Russians that they are becoming more isolated as opposed to better integrated, the world over? I dunno...let's give it a shot and see if it works.
*no musicians were killed in the nonviolent protest messaging addressing a terribly violent situation.
sic!
Why are you just assuming everything you're told on TV is right? Show me some proof. The fact that you think it's ok to attack people simply for being from Russia tells me everything I need to know about your standards of truth.
@@TheGuitologist I think asking for proof, indicates you don't believe what the press from the whole world, outside of Russian media....and possibly the North Korean media is saying. Thats a pretty big conspiracy to believe in. Short of actually going to Ukraine and seeing the illegal invasion, war and atrocities for yourself, we are reliant, to a large degree, on what journalists report to us. Brent Renaud paid with his life yesterday doing just that. My daughter is taught by a Ukrainian teacher, who is in contact with her family, back in Ukraine, she and her family are under no illusions about who has done what to who. I agree that it doesn't seem right to tar all Russians with the same brush and culture should bring us together....however stopping a lunatic and allowing Ukraine to recover are the priority right now.
I bet you believe everything the MSM tells you !
@@TheGuitologist Take it for what it is: ua-cam.com/video/jBsX3os6a2A/v-deo.html

Russian artists will be fine. You cannot say that about Ukrainian artists, who got "cancelled" for good, because the Russians are shelling the cities.
