The Utopia Orchestra, formed by the Gazprom-funded conductor Teodor Currentzis, has announced concerts in Berlin and Vienna from June 7-13.

Those tempted to attend should be aware that Gazprom now has its own army fighting on Putin’s side in Ukraine.

War crimes do not get much worse than this.

The pensive new Currentzis portrait has been issued by Utopia.

    They plan???
    I wonder why they don’t plan concerts in Harkiv,Dnipro and other cities destroyed by Putin’s army!?

    • Achim Mentzel says:

      Because there is no money? Because they don‘t give a shit? Because there is no place on the warfield for self-centered megalomanic narcissts? Questions over questions…

    For more nuances; this is an interesting read.

    Guess what? The US is buying Russian diesel gas for the Ukrainian military. Stop posing as a politically informed opinion leader. You suck at that.

  • A.L. says:

    The other side of the coin, the problem, is people buying tickets to the events. Presumably many don’t know who is keeping the lights on. Or they just don’t or won’t care.

    • Tamino says:

      Well, in fact, Russian gas was keeping the lights on in Berlin and Vienna. Reliably, for many decades.
      Until the Americans detonated Nordstream pipelines in an act of state terrorism.
      Some truths are inconvenient, it’s a complex world.

  • Tamino says:

    Everybody is free to not buy tickets for this.
