Famed pianist is on Russia’s latest list of 50 banned musicians
NewsThe independent media site Medusa has produced a list of 50 musicians newly banned by the Russian authorities. The blacklist is compiled by the Kremlin’s Department for Public Projects of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation, headed by Sergei Noviko. It mostly includes artists who have spoken out against the Ukraine war, but several names belong to people who have never said a word about it: they simply failed to sing Putin’s praises when otfered to do so.
Among the newly banned are the composer Dmitry Emelyanov and the courageous pianist Polina Osetinskaya.
