The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, reminded singer Laima Vaikula of the barbarians, who believes that monuments to Soviet soldiers should be demolished due to “lack of artistic value”. The response to the artist Zakharova’s statement posted on her Telegram channel.
According to a representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Vaikule “left on a new record of insufficiency” and said an impossible nonsense.
“It can only be slipped out of sheer ignorance and inhuman malice. Or on purpose,” Zakharova said.
She urged the singer to pay attention to the very word “monument”, which comes from “memory” and not from “artistic value”.
“People who demolish monuments, especially those erected in honor of those who gave their lives for others, seeing no artistic value in them or denying their memory, have always been treated as barbarians,” he said. writes the representative of the department.
Zakharova also noted that “only a person with completely atrophied artistic taste” cannot see the artistic value of the Monument to Soldiers of the Soviet Army – the liberators of Soviet Latvia and Riga from Nazi invaders.
Previously, the first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Culture Elena Drapeko offered to erase Vaikule herself from memory for her statements.
