This Thursday, a serious scandal broke out in the Russian music media space. Well, as a scandal – or rather, the flame caught fire only on one side of the conflict. Headlines appeared on the web: “Kiselev called the song of Officer Gazmanov necrophilous.” Let’s get to the core of the conflict.
Reader, do you know the name of Vladimir Kiselev?
If not, we present the founder of the Russian Media Group and the owner of Russian Radio. The businessman has recently had some personal feelings towards People’s Artist of the Russian Federation Oleg Gazmanov.
It all started with the fact that Kiselev increasingly began to allow derogatory statements against the composer and even against his son. However, the situation escalated at the moment when Mr. Kiselev began to actively bring his opinion to the media about the fact that Oleg Gazmanov was not a patriot at all, and Oleg Mikhailovich wrote songs devoted to the theme of service to the Fatherland and only pride. for his own benefit.
Oleg Gazmanov responded to the allegations by saying that his music and lyrics came from the heart, not potential gains, something that, as we’re sure, someone who’s performed at all major venues for over 30 years might not think so. .
“Attack” looks ridiculous not only in the profile environment, but also among ordinary Internet users. People openly disagree with the personal opinion of the businessman, which is actively shared on the Web.
Suppose such a statement can be at least somehow justified in relation to any musician who suddenly changes his position, but in the direction of Gazmanov it seems like an exaggerated and even a kind of personal insult.
Oleg Gazmanov has been performing on stage for decades, and his work has always been associated with patriotism. And the song “Officers” is still familiar to everyone, from young to old, and certainly evokes sincere feelings.
We continue to watch with interest the conflict and what else Vladimir Kiselev has to say.
