Petliurivtsi appeared in the Great Theater: as Prokofiev's opera was processed for Putin's needs

Right now, Katya Margolis, a fearless and romantic knight, which fights all its existing forces against the cultural invasion of the Russian measure in Europe and, in particular, in Italy, is campaign for banning the concert of the court of Putin conductor Valery Gergiyev.

In the process of struggle, she explains to everyone who is interested and the Italian press in particular, why the concert of Gergiyev in Italy is not ok and how music can be not just not outside politics, but, in fact, politics. Explains he finds arguments. And here the Bolsha Theater inadvertently gives her a wonderful pass. Recently, at the closing of the season there played the opera of Sergei Prokofeev "Semen Kotko", the action of which took place in 1918.

The hero comes home from the war, to his native village, and there the evil Petliurians kill everyone and make scary. Then the hero, looking at it, goes to build socialism, and on stage there are titers about the heroic ORDLO, which now, like a hundred years ago, suffered from Ukrainians, and here Putin came and released everyone. Curtain. Well, at first, I summarized a little about our composer Prokofeev from under Bakhmut, who for the sake of loyalty was forced to write such a schnyag in 1939.

And then I thought - a stop! What are the bad Ukrainians in 1939, what is happening? And she asked people. And the beautiful people immediately gave me a reference to the Academic Oxford work, and I already read that in the original it was bad Germans, but here was the Substruement Pact Molotov-Ribbentrop and Germans urgently replaced with Austrians (for what ??), and then in general.

In general, the opera was not very successful (what would it be, with such a plot?), Well, soon war, croche, almost forgot about it. But now there were people who got this propaganda junk from under the log-and put it in Bolsha, and of course, with topical Ukrainians. Here you have to write something to the end of the post - but what do you write here? Still, it is clear, I'm just surprised sometimes.
