“My communication with Filippenko ended suddenly because of Crimea”: Yana Poplavskaya criticized the emigrant 02/12/2023, 12:05

Alexander Filippenko went to Vilnius, where his daughter lives. The artist was fired from the theater of the Moscow City Council, but assured that he had long intended to go to Lithuania to improve his health. The performer of the role of Red Riding Hood reacted sarcastically to this statement.

“The theater is sticking to the backup variant of ‘he left for treatment.’ But what can be cured in Vilnius? There, any chronic ailments only worsen. Filippenko and I have been friends for many years. Ever since the first conversation I had with him as a student. And – in descending order – until 2014, “said Yana.

She emphasized that over the years, she began to make fun of the artist more and more often, and he mocked her. “However, communication lasted until Crimea. And then it collapsed on both sides. Stalin and Solzhenitsyn are easy to avoid in personal conversations, but Crimea could not become a silent figure. Sometimes human relationships are more important. Sometimes, but not always,” said the actress.

Poplavskaya complained that it is not easy for many to mentally say goodbye to artists whose work they have loved for many years. However, due to the stars’ political stances, fans turned away from them. “Someone’s youth passed for Makarevich – now he can’t listen.” For some, “Irony of Fate” has lost its charm. It seems to me that the easiest thing was to say goodbye to Pugacheva – she destroyed her bright image for a long time and reliably. From princes to mud,” the movie star explained.

Yana added that fortunately in people’s memory there were artists of the past who did not talk about politics. He believes that colleagues who left their native country no longer have a place here. “What has been done and said against the country is not forgotten. Can these people enter the Russian scene today, do they have a moral right? No. Their previous achievements belong to us. They will no longer be with us. The science of choice is always the science of rejection,” Poplavskaya summed up.
