Putin's Favorite Valeriya Performed a Song Among the Ruins: Ministry of Culture Will Appeal to the SBU (Updated).

Russian singer Valeriya performed the Soviet song 'From What Begins the Motherland' among the ruins. The video of this performance is spreading online. Details of where this video was filmed are unknown. It could be a destroyed Ukrainian territory or towns in the Kursk region affected by Russian shelling.

This video is the best explanation of why sanctions against Russian cultural figures are our national security interest. And why the Soviet cultural heritage must be decommunized, that is, banned. The melody is recognizable without sound. Putin's favorite singer is performing. The music is folk, the words too - folk. Because that is the essence of Russian culture.

Minister of Culture and Strategic Communications Mykola Tochitsky commented on the video and emphasized that the Ministry will appeal to the SBU to establish the filming location of this performance and initiate proceedings in case of violation of sanctions against Valeriya.

Social media users are actively discussing the video, seeing the true face of the 'Russian World' against the backdrop of the ruins.

Later, Valeriya's husband and producer, Joseph Prigozhin, revealed that the video was filmed in the 'Mosfilm' pavilion and it was a rehearsal before the broadcast in the program 'Apartment Concert'.

It should be recalled that Valeriya has supported Putin and the war in Ukraine since 2014. She performed at the opening of the Kerch Bridge and expressed support for the genocide of Ukrainians.

It is also worth mentioning that Valeriya 'resurrected' the memory of Joseph Kobzon at one of her concerts by performing his song 'Remember Me'.

Analysis:

Valeriya's performance amidst the ruins reminds of the terrible consequences of the war and destruction that have arisen during the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. It serves as a serious testament to the fact that sanctions against Russian cultural figures are necessary to protect our national security. The video also demonstrates the need to decommunize Soviet cultural heritage, which continues to support Russian influence and ideology. Valeriya's performance is an example of the active dissemination of propaganda and manipulation of Ukrainian society.
