Kremlin sends orchestra to play in Mariupol ruins
NewsIn the cultural war between Russia and Ukraine, this is perhaps the most bizarre piece of musical triumphalism.
The Kremlin Orchestra, with conductor Konstantin Chudovsky, is pictured performing outside the Mariupol Theatre, which has been bombed to ruins by Putin’s forces.
Ukrainian sources claim the Russians slaughtered hundreds of people at the theatre and are now mocking the mass grave of their victims. If that is the case, the Kremlin orchestra concert may itself constitute a war crime.
Konstantin Chudovsky, who is chief conductor of the Ural Opera in Ekaterinburg, is a former chief of the Santiago orchestra in Chile and was once acclaimed by the Financial Times as ‘one of 25 Russians to watch’.
Now for all the wrong reasons.
Repulsive and sickening, but unsurprising.
One can find out what really happened in Mariupol instead of all the pro US/NATO incessant western propaganda. Of course
there is propaganda on both sides but at least try to feel out what is really going on. It’s not always Oceania good, Eurasia bad as the controlled media portrays it.

Yeah, and Hitler was kind to animals.
Jog on, shill.
Thanks for your open minded approach:)
We have ALWAYS been at war with Eurasia!
Britain allied with Russia:
Napoleonic Wars
War of Austrian Succession
Greek War of Independence
Boxer Rebellion
World War 1
World War 2
Give me a break. Russia INVADED Ukraine. There was absolutely no excuse or military reason to do so. We are all suffering for Putin’s dream of putting the old Soviet Union back together.
Oh, I don’t know. How about 8 years of constant shelling of the Donbass region by Ukraine. You know, the region that voted to separate from Ukraine after the US spent 5 BILLION dollars to overthrow the democratically elected government in Kiev.
As I said before, try to look at different sides.
“Constant shelling” : Yup, by the Russian attackers.
And of course some by the Ukrainians defending themselves.
Comrade H sorry but no frequent propaganda miles credits for this latest very heavy handed attempt to branch out from vaccine disinformation to war crimes enthusiast. Your handlers won’t be pleased.
ad hominem…
Disgusting!
I wonder what was on the program. “The Lark Ascending”? “The People United Will Never be Defeated”? The “1812 Overture”?
It was Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4 .
Do you have more information about this? Videos? Any link? Thanks so much!
Does the Kremlin Orchestra have Beating Retreat in its repertoire?
Sickening to anyone with normal moral sensitivity.
By the way, The Bolshoi Theatre will open a new season on September, 14 with Pique Dame under the baton of the so called war criminal maestro Konstantin Chudovsky, who serves the Kremlin Orchestra (belongs to Directorate of the President of the Russian Federation) and who literally was dancing on bones in Mariupol just a few days ago. Total nightmare.
Who was dancing on bones? Chudovsky? Do you have evidence of that? I can’t believe that.
Newsflash: Mr. Zelensky is Jewish.
There are several memorials in Ukraine which the Russian army has been destroying.
Here’s a heartwarming statue in Liviv of Stepan Bandera dedicated in 2007.

But, but Zelensky is Jewish!
Learn history.
Comrade H it is probably a good idea to continue pushing the party line given the daily reports of former colleagues who have fallen out of hospital windows or drowned in 6 inches of water.
non sequitur…
Not if you finally come clean with your agenda! Your handlers expect more.
Do you need to talk about the past to justify bad things in the present? Russia did invade Ukraine NOW, bombed Mariupol to ashes NOW, created a massacre at the theater NOW, and sends an orchestra to play music at that spot NOW. Now what is here to doubt?
Reminds me of the concert Gergiev did in Palmyra. Russia loves staging concerts at places that were bombed to ruins by Russia itself.
