“Everything was taken from me. It wasn’t enough to remove the Russian language too “: Laima Vaikule revealed her main fear 25.03.2023, 16:20

The 68-year-old performer of the hit “Vernissage” sided with Ukraine. She did not hide her attitude – soon after the start of SVO, she admitted that she was not going to return to Russia. At the same time, the singer does not intend to refuse a tour in other countries.

However, at a concert in Israel, Laima failed to gather a hall for 800 people: about 40 seats remained empty. Today, Vaikule explained her words about Russia. She assured that then she was overcome by emotions and did not think about the consequences of her words.

“I was afraid I couldn’t sing Russian anymore. And the girl from Ukraine, with whom I then called, from the Svoboda Ballet, the administrator, comforted me, brought me to my senses. And little by little I understood, what does language have to do with it? It was not enough to take away the Russian alone. Everything was taken from me. It was not enough that the Russian language was also taken away, “said Lyma.

She still hasn’t stopped speaking Russian and continues to play her hits. In an interview on the Youtube program “And Graham Blowed Out”, the artist explained that she will not give up Russian in the future.

Recently, Lyme made a loud statement. The singer assured that she fed the entire Soviet Union, and Alla Pugacheva supported all of Russia. Vaikule believed that she did not receive large sums when she was at the height of her career in the USSR. Star friends maintain a close relationship and try to see each other as soon as possible. Alla Borisovna has come to visit Laima in Latvia in the past and recently came to her concert in Tel Aviv.
