German minister warns against boycotting Russian culture and artists

On Friday, March 4th, German Minister of Culture and Media, Claudia Roth, warned against boycotting Russian culture and art.

As well as the pursuit of Russian citizens against the background of recent developments in Ukraine.

“I warn the Germans against developing a boycott of Russian art and culture and a blanket suspicion against all Russian artists and all citizens of Russian origin,” she said. She added that the diverse and rich Russian culture is part of European culture.

On the other hand, German Interior Minister Nancy Wasser told DPA on March 4 that her ministry intends to prevent people of Russian origin or Russian-speaking people from being stalked and discriminated against.

And Pfizer claimed that all the protests directed against Russia and the Russians took place so far in a peaceful atmosphere and called for the matter to remain as it is now. She said the German security services would defend every person and every institution in Germany.

It is noteworthy that the authorities of European countries, including Germany, have recently taken discriminatory measures against Russian artists, including the termination of agreements concluded with them and public statements against the Russian government, what happened, for example, with the world opera star Anna Netrebko and the famous Russian conductor Valery Gergiev. .
