Deputy Sholokhov: measures against anti-Russian artists should be on the “financial side”
The first deputy chairman of the State Duma’s culture committee, Alexander Sholokhov, spoke about the measures drawn up by a working group of the lower house of the Russian parliament against artists who left the Russian Federation and express an anti-Russian stance.
According to Sholokhov, the members of the task force take into account that they must first and foremost deal not with “witch hunts” and “calls for the punishment of anyone”, but with deciding how to deal with those who ” actively act against their own country.” “. According to the deputy, we are talking about those who not only allow anti-Russian statements, but also finance the Ukrainian side, “continuing to receive money from Russia.”
The measures should primarily concern the “financial side”, Sholokhov said.
