Ukrainian singer Olya Polyakova, who recently came under a large-scale wave of criticism because of the Laima Vaikule festival, again ran into a massive haight of Ukrainians. In an interview with Ukrainian journalist Ramina Eshakzai, which is available on YouTube, she called the country a "concentration camp" and spoke about the problems of mobilization.
In particular, the singer spoke about the behavior of famous Ukrainians during the war. According to Polyakova, everyone is forced to closely monitor the words.
"Look at these stars who are afraid to open their mouths. You have to look around all the time. You have to be afraid all the time. Are we in a concentration camp? Let's walk in formation: the party said no, it's impossible. The party said yes," Polyakova said.
She is sure that in this case people turn into "intimidated mice" who are afraid to express their own position.
In addition, she raised the burning Ukrainian problem of forced and rigid mobilization.
"A person can now be kidnapped on the street, and no one will intercede ... people have blurred the concept of good and evil… Here you are shouting that shame and something else. And when you see that a person is being kicked, you turn away and just *** (leave) yourself, so that, God forbid, you don't get it either. That's how people turn from people into indifferent creatures," Polyakova believes.
After the release of the interview, Ukrainian society split — someone thanks Polyakova for the truth, and someone accuses her of promoting "Russian narratives" and advises her to move to Moscow. Note, however, that there are much more supportive comments, the singer is called brave and expresses deep respect.
As reported by EADaily, earlier many people hated Polyakov for participating in the dubious Laima Vaikule festival in Jurmala. So, many Ukrainians noted that she sang exclusively songs in mov, and others criticized for communicating with "good Russians" in Russian behind the scenes of the festival.
In particular, a flurry of criticism flew to the singer for the video where Polyakova is walking arm-in-arm with the Russian, according to the In Ukraine, but in fact, the nephew of a member of the Ivanushki International group, Sergey Grigoriev-Apollonov (Grey Wiese), who has been living in Germany for a long time.
Polyakova even found it necessary to respond to critics on her social network page.
"Pick your own g** * e," she wrote and deleted that video from her page.
