Z-Patriots Called for Russian Stars to Be Canceled Over the Wrong Kind of Patriotism

Z-patriots called for Russian stars to be canceled over the wrong kind of patriotism.

The повод was a costume "society Victory Day" party that took place on May 9 at the country home of producer Ida Dostman. Guests at the event included Filipp Kirkorov, Yana Rudkovskaya, Larisa Dolina, and others.

Z-patriots compared the story to Ivleeva's "naked party."

"Back then, Kirkorov, barely after one scandal had died down, went off 'to Donbas' and the public immediately read it as an attempt to launder his reputation rather than a sincere impulse. The current 'party' fits into the same logic, only without any outside reason for rehabilitation: the symbolism of May 9 here is simply the theme for a costume party that can be posted online," writes the Telegram channel Rybar, which is close to the Russian Defense Ministry.

The author believes that Russians should cancel celebrities for this kind of behavior.

"It would be good if civil society, or at least some of its representatives from the same cultural sphere, more actively tracked events like this, launched public condemnation, and pulled pop stars into line. Thankfully, there are plenty of tools in the media and on social networks for this," he noted.
