> Vladimir Putin claims that the West is trying to “cancel” Russia merely for invading a sovereign nation I will not go into the merits or demerits of Russia invading Ukraine, but that cancelling process of Russian culture did most certainly happen (and is still happening). Where I live (Romania) they even cancelled an Eugene Onegin [1] opera show because it was, well, Russian. Both Chaikovsky, the composer, and Pushkin (the author of Onegin) have been long dead, they most certainly don't have anything to do with the current invasion. And that was not an isolated incident, at least according to what I could read on the net. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Onegin_(opera) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Onegin_(opera)
