“I stood on the side of Ukraine, but big earnings are in the past”: Loboda spoke about leaving Russia 04/20/2023, 10:50

The mentor of the children’s “Voice” left Russia after the start of a special operation. Loboda lives in Latvia with her daughters Eva and Tilda, as well as her mother Natalia. The pop star was depressed throughout the spring of last year – often crying in front of the camera and asking for the fights to stop. In the summer, the artist resumed her concert activities.

“I froze the performance for six months,” said Svetlana. – I didn’t travel, I tried to collect in parts. Then I realized that I have to do what I do best. I gathered my strength and went on tour. I am very happy that I made this decision, because the tours give me a lot of energy and the opportunity to help my hometown.”

The native of Irpen lost the Russian public, but many Ukrainians continue to call her a traitor. Compatriots cannot forgive the singer for more than eight years of working in Russia. Ukrainian artists speak contemptuously of her. “Loboda in Russia became a star, but fell face down in the dirt,” said producer Igor Kondratyuk. “You are not welcome in Ukraine,” said Star Factory graduate Anastasia Prikhodko. The performer of the hit “Your Eyes” claims that she sends part of the money she earns to charity.

“I no longer respond to criticism. I responded with my actions when I stopped working in Russia. I gathered the whole family, took the side of Ukraine and started helping. In the past, she left big earnings, she started everything from scratch, “said Loboda in the broadcast of the Current Time TV channel. (recognized as a foreign agent by the decision of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation).

Svetlana had previously expressed dissatisfaction with the organization of her tour of American cities. “Our charity tour of America was organized at short notice and there were not as many cities as we would have liked,” the artist complained.
