Pop singer Philip Kirkorov needs to apologize for insults, inflicted on paratroopers in the video he shot. Besides, this video should be removed from everywhere, where it was published.
This opinion was expressed by the ex-commander of the Airborne Forces of the Russian Federation, Colonel General Vladimir Shamanov in an interview with RIA Novosti.
Outrage of the Airborne Forces General, who is today a State Duma deputy, head of the defense committee, triggered a video published on the artist’s Instagram page. There on Kirkorov wearing a vest and a blue beret. In the sketch, the pop star acts as a paratrooper with “non-standard inclinations” and beats, as if this is some kind of proposal to star in the series.
While the video from Instagram Kirkorov not removed.
Vladimir Shamanov called the video plot disgusting and insulting the two main symbols of the Airborne Forces - a vest and takes. The general gave advice to the pop star for his own good to immediately remove the video, “so that nothing bad happens”.
At the same time, he reminded the artist of the winged statement of the Hero of the Soviet Union Valery Vostrotin:
Everyone can offend a paratrooper, but not everyone manages to apologize.
Therefore, Vladimir Shamanov recommended that Philip Kirkorov change his mind and not offend the paratroopers.
