The chanson star has long been familiar with the People’s Artist of Russia, they often worked at joint venues and concerts, performed together. However, Vika was skeptical that the performer of the hit “Officers” received a grant of 17 million rubles from the state to create a database of patriotic music on the website and a contest of patriotic songs.
According to Vika, she was told that her “Esaul” is cooler and deeper than Gazman’s song of the same name. Moreover, he believes that the work of Oleg Mikhailovich cannot inspire performances.
“I don’t need Oleg Gazmanov’s songs. I will not fight them. They do not raise me to any high impulses. As a child, I sang “Big Sky – One for Two”, “Goodbye, Rocky Mountains” … I will go with these songs, “said the artist.
The star noted that patriotic education has become even more important today. According to her, only fiery and honest people can educate and convince someone. In this context, Vika recalled the scandal with Gazmanov in the UAE. The main patriot of Russian show business performed at a concert, where he got into an awkward situation when the provocateurs persistently asked him to say: “Glory to Ukraine.”
“This photo was in Dubai when it all came out. He replies, “Go away, the artist is tired.” That means he wasn’t tired of singing at Vasiljevské Spusk, but he was tired here. And people see it all. I would put it in my eye. That’s why I’m not going to Dubai now, all the evil spirits have gathered there, “said Vika in an interview with Paragraf.
After her revelation, Tsyganova was attacked by Gazmanov’s fans. Under massive pressure, she had to apologize to her colleague.
“Oleg, forgive me, please. Sometimes, of course, you need to control your thoughts and especially your emotions. I didn’t do very well. I think we’ve been through a lot together and we can do a lot more. The main thing is that we do not lie to ourselves. And we leave the opinion – who has good songs and who has bad – to the audience. I think it hurts you a lot that I offended you, “said the performer of the hit “Russian Vodka”.
