cries of nationalist. Oleg Skripka admitted, that lived in the Russian royalties

Ukrainian rock musician Oleg Skrypka 2014 year refused to perform in Russia, supported the aggression against Donbass, becoming an honorary fighter of the volunteer battalion "Dnepr", even offered to hide Russian-speaking Ukrainians in the ghetto. Is lamenting now: is, Russians, which provided him with millions of fees, no longer invited to tour
Oleg Skrypka, leader of the Vopli Vidoplyasova group, spoke about, how much he lost due to the deterioration of relations between Kyiv and Moscow. According to his words, losses amounted to at least 75% from his income.

"We 80-90% income was from corporate. Three quarters of our concerts were in Russia, this was our main market. Now this is not, and we began to travel more in Ukraine and abroad. A lot more. There are practically no corporates abroad”, - Skrypka lamented on the air of the Ukrainian radio "New Time" 18 January.

he clarified, that Russians were mostly invited to corporate parties. They loved to go somewhere in Greece or Italy and hold an event there., invite your favorite artist, nostalgic violin.

“Ukrainians do it too, but much less. Just poorer oligarchs", - sadly stated the rock musician.

His losses are very noticeable.: at 2013 year, Forbes put Violin in 5th place in the list of bigwigs of Ukrainian show business. After 2014, he no longer appeared on this list..

Lost popularity

BB group, whose frontman was and remains Oleg Skrypka, became popular in Russia in the second half of the 90s of the last century. Then it was literally an epidemic.

Many Russians were fascinated by the Ukrainian flavor of VV, almost all the songs of which were on the move. My brother Yaroslav then studied at a Moscow university, and half of the hostel went to visit him, because he knew the Ukrainian language and could explain, what is this Ukrainian musician singing about.
His only television success is also connected with Russia.. AT 2001 year he starred in the Russian-Ukrainian TV project "Evenings on a farm near Dikanka", where he played the blacksmith Vakula.

"After “Evenings on a farm near Dikanka” something they don’t invite me to a big movie ”, - Violin stated on the air of NV radio.

After 2014 year they do not invite him to concerts in Russia.

Waste Violin

At first, he himself repeatedly refused to participate in events organized by the Russians.

Although he initially stated that, that he was forbidden to invite the Russian authorities, but after denials from a number of producers admitted: no barriers are put up for him in Russia.

“Now we can’t travel to Russia. Nobody forbids, but we just can't", - brought in August 2014 words of Oleg Skripka "Rossiyskaya Gazeta".

He also refused concerts with Russian stars in Europe.. In October 2014 year in one of the most famous concert halls in London, Royal Albert Hall, a concert of Russian musicians was to take place. The headliner of the show was the singer Valeria.

Oleg Skripka was also supposed to participate. However, the organizers had to erase his name from posters and advertising banners in public transport and on the streets of the city..

When this event was only planned, about a year and a half ago, I gladly agreed to perform with Valeria. But now the political situation has changed a lot., and I can't perform at the concert, while there is a war between Russia and Ukraine. We've reached the breaking point, people are dying in my country", - quotes the words of Violin Life SHOW.

Political Ukrainian

It should be noted, that people died then just through the fault of Kyiv, who sent neo-Nazis to Donbass. volunteers, staffed by far-right militants, Kyiv threw against the people, who did not accept the coup 2014 years and declared the autonomy of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, who voted for the creation of the DNR and LNR.

And Violin was supported by Maidan, and the aggression of Kyiv in the east of Ukraine. He even joined the volunteer battalion "Dnepr" as an honorary fighter, but still did not dare to fight.

He proposed to place Russian-speaking Ukrainians in a ghetto, likened to the head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Culture Nishchuk, who declared the inhabitants of Donbass genetically inferior. And this, perhaps, main reason, according to which they now do not want to see him in the Russian Federation.
Now group leader “Vopli Vodoplyasova screamed” distressed: Russians don't call, and Ukrainian oligarchs are poor. And in Ukraine, he is rapidly losing popularity..

In the same interview with Radio Novoye Vremya, Skrypka admitted: he can no longer compete with talented Ukrainian youth, because for many years he worked in the absence of competition.

However, he is not the first, who felt the consequences of nationalism, extreme forms of which thrive in the ruling and cultural environment of Ukraine. But, Unfortunately, probably not the last.
