Russian singer Oleg Gazmanov expressed his desire to respond to the West with a military song. A video of his performance in the State Duma was shared by the Telegram channel "Bloody Lady."
"The whole world wants, well not the whole world, but the entire Western world, to physically eliminate you — to clear the territory. Where is all this 'everything for the front, everything for victory,' where is 'Arise, vast country'?" the artist stated.
He also criticized Russian television channels and radio stations for their double standards, pointing out that they do not focus on current events. "Just imagine if during that period such religions, songs were silenced. They wouldn't be played on the radio, right? So what would happen then?" the singer added.
Earlier, Oleg Gazmanov declared that he takes pride in the sanctions imposed against him in the West.
