Заявление Венского гос. балета на требования уволить из труппы русских.

The Vienna State Ballet is an ensemble of 102 dancers of many different nationalities who share the passion, love, and devotion for ballet. Daily we train and dance together in the studio and on stage – places where language, origin and culture differences play no role. Russia’s brutal war of aggression on Ukraine stuns us every day and we condemn it in the strongest terms. Our full solidarity goes out to Ukraine and our thoughts are permanently with all the people who currently suffer immeasurable sorrow, including families and friends of artists from our ensemble, our staff, and our guests.
In recent days, however, we have received an increasing number of messages of people demanding that the Russian members of the Vienna State Ballet no longer should be allowed to perform. Most of them have been living in Vienna for many years and are an important part of Europe. With their work, they send a strong signal for peace, international understanding, and bridge-building between cultures. Unfounded demands for separation and exclusion as well as an attitude that classifies people as »good« or »bad« only on the basis of their origin we strictly reject. Current developments must not lead to the exclusion of individuals from arts and culture and their creation solely on the basis of their nationality. Only if we are strong together this nightmare will stop

Vienna Shorts - традиционный венский фестиваль короткометражных фильмов - не допускает в этом году российские фильмы, которые имели государственное финансирование.
Независимые российские деятели допускаются, НО - если они не придерживаются официальной точки зрения России.

Свобода, равенство, братство, толерантность.
Ура, товарищи!

Нет, вы только посмотрите!

Ратманский заделался полицаем и указывает пальцем на тех, кого надо наказать за поддержку Президента РФ!
Какая низость!

‼️ My view on the ‘cancellation’ of Russian culture:

In 2014, more than 500 prominent cultural figures (cinema, theater, TV, pop, opera, ballet, literature, arts, science, sport etc), including big ballet personalities like Vyacheslav Gordeyev, Marina Leonova, Nikolay Tsiskaridze, Svetlana Zakharova, Ivan Vasiliev, and also Valery Gergiev, Vladimir Urin, Sergei Danilian, Vladimir Kekhman, Elena Scherbakova - signed a letter of support for Putin's annexation of Crimea. After this letter, every performance or any public action of these 500, could be seen as an act of propaganda. Especially those who have gone on to perform in the West. These people have made a strong political statement supporting their President's unlawful actions. They are playing politics and therefore should be held responsible or at least asked serious questions.
It is precisely because of the support of the most visible figures of Russian culture that Putin gained his unlimited power and now is using it against humanity in this bloody war that is destroying Ukraine. The 2018 list of Putin 'representatives' ('doverennye litsa') included hundreds of the biggest names in sport and culture, Boris Eifman, Tsiskaridze and Zakharova among them. Sergei Polunin and Andrei Uvarov took over high administrative positions in Sevastopol in occupied Crimea. Many celebrities are serving as members of the State Duma, whose unanimous vote gave Putin formal right to start the invasion. How is it possible now to ignore their voluntary involvement in Putin's politics? Yes, there were those who were not involved, and others who even protested. And it seems fair that these artists/sportsmen should be given chances to perform/compete in the West. But in reality it's a more complex issue. Putin's popularity has increased significantly since he started the war... Russia is now engulfed in a military patriotic frenzy. I know that many of the Bolshoi and Mariinsky dancers, whom I adore and with whom I happily worked for more than 20 years, sharing my heart, inspiration and knowledge, support Putin and his crimes in Ukraine. I don't beleive they are unaware that Ukrainian cities are being shelled and destroyed, thousands of civilians killed and millions displaced. I don't beleive they can't get true information. No, it is their chosen point of view.
It's humiliating to think that dancers should only dance and concentrate on their art, ignoring what's going on around them. It's not only pretty legs that they possess, they also have brains and hearts. The mass murder of innocent people in Ukraine is done in their name also, in the name of Great Russia of Culture that was so admired by the whole world until very recently.
