The majority of Russian artists actively support the fascist politics of Vladimir Putin, however, they still enjoy coming to USA and Europe to earn money. 

Anna Netrebko, the famous Russian opera singer, is one of such Putin’s ass kissers. In December 2014, she was photographed with the flag of “Novorossiya” [occupied territories in the East of Ukraine] in her hands, and openly donated her money to the terrorist organization “DPR” to “restore the Donetsk Opera Theater”.

On January 29, 2015, when she came to the USA for another portion of cash, a Ukrainian activist reminded her at the end of her concert in the NY Metropolitan Opera that she needs to choose between the American dollar and anti-American Putin. 

Also, the conductor for the performance, Valery Gergiev, was one of the 511 artists who signed the open letter in support of Putin’s annexation of Crimea: “...That is why we firmly declare our support of the position of the president of the Russian Federation on Ukraine and Crimea.”
