"The reason to take the battle." The music expert explained why Ukrainians should perform at the Sziget festival despite the involvement of the Russians

Lina, Daria Kolosova and Etapp Kyle, Fo Sho, Kazka, Kazka; Krapka; Koma, Luiku, POSTMUMA, POSTMUMA It is the largest number of Ukrainian artists in the history of Ukraine's participation in the festival. However, the organizers of the festival refused to cancel the speeches of the Russians.

Video of the day of Ukrainian performers under such conditions caused discussions on the network, which forced Alina Pash and Ragapop to explain why they did not refuse to participate, as Kalush Orchestra did because of the refusal of the organizers of Sea Dance Festival to cancel the speech of Russian DJ Nina Kravitz.

Musical Journalist and Viewer Sergei Kane shared his opinions on Facebook about why in this case, Ukrainians should not arrange a demarche with refusal, but should use this site with benefit. “Try to look at the situation in terms of the final consumer or consumer. Half a million people buy a ticket on Sziget not for the sake of Ukrainian names. They won't say "Oh, the Ragapop" or Alina Pash or Luiku. They are indifferent. It is normal or not, but it is natural, ”he wrote.

He agreed that the Russians need to be squeezed out of the world, the question of what methods. “If there is no decent media base behind you, refusal to participate will only mean the victory of Russian culture. In parallel, the story of Sea Dance Festival in Montenegro: Kalush stated that he would refuse to go to the fest, if the organizers did not cancel Nina Kravitz's performance. The organizers did not cancel. The band refused. Respect.

But this is Kalush - now they have caught a unique wave because they won Eurovision, and now they can write some European media about their gesture in the event of conscious lobbying, ”he said. He added that in the case of Sziget and the composition of the artists, the demonstrative refusal will give nothing. “Instead, Sziget will refuse our speech will not teach anything organizers, will not create any resonance in the world media, will go unnoticed for the Festa's audience.

Even if all 12 names at the same time canceled the speeches. What, by the way, would never have happened. " And I cited the example of DJ DJ Kolosov & Stage Kyle, who "ignore the war in every possible way and participate in the Russian-Ukrainian line-up. " “And the strategy should be very simple. Ukrainian voices should sound. Our claim should not be for ours (ours, think) artists and artists, but to festivals, who are normally inviting the Russians. The rest are tactical steps.

So it already works in other areas. People from the cinema go to Cannes despite the participation of Sergeynikov and do their best to win the audience's affection and become a bone in the throat of the organizers: they turn on air anxiety, go on a red carpet with Sensitive Content signs, interview In Cannes, a butterfly vision team team. “Our task is to be loud and inconvenient.
