Due to the criminal war Putin launched in Ukraine, a number of Russian artists have condemned the Russian dictator’s behavior, and others, like Gergiev, Matsuev or Berezovksy have not. In the middle, Anna Netrebko wades in a mud that makes her very dirty.
She is against the war but not against Putin. As she said in Le Monde, « I have a Russian passport, he is still the president, and I cannot publicly say these words. » How ambiguous and dishonorable is such a purely opportunistic and commercial attitude by a singer who has also an Austrian passport, by the way.
