Artists sign up in support of Putin
The list of Russian artists supporting Vladimir Putin is extremely long. By last weekend, 420 had signed a letter that reads:
“In the days when the fate of Crimea and our compatriots is being decided, Russian cultural figures cannot be indifferent observers with cold hearts. Our common history and common roots, our culture and its spiritual sources, our fundamental values and language brought us together forever. We want the community of our peoples and our cultures to have a lasting future. That is why we firmly declare our support of the position of the president of the Russian Federation on Ukraine and Crimea.”
