Watch and wonder.
And here’s Matsuev’s selfie.

What’s the word for “superspreader” in Russian?

You win the internet today! Glad I have just enough knowledge of Cyrillic to figure it out!
Good one, Lpbv!
The Corona Blockwart is watching you!
What a vulgar display
Wow that is absolutely horrifying. These people should be jailed for this dangerous behaviour!
In Russia that’s probably likely!!
Makes sense. Matsuev falls in the steps of Netrebko, Gergiev and a handful of other high-profile cultural allies of Putin to disregard protective measures against the coronavirus.
The only thing to say is that many of these contestants are young and hopefully shouldn’t be too badly affected if they contract Covid.
Putin bad. Big pharma good.
I finally get it. Thanks:)
Yes, big pharma is a great thing. When you get sick and need a pill, that pharma is the only place where you might get that pill. People live well into their 90s now thanks to modern medicine. mRNA vaccines are a great scientific breakthrough, painting black the pharma that made them possible in such a short time makes no sense whatsoever.
One can easily find all the deaths and lawsuits against big pharma online. Yes, they have made some excellent medicines but does the good outweigh the bad? They spend 8 billion dollars a year on tv ads in the US for good? Really? You do know the mRNA medical devices are being tested right now on the population? How does one know they aren’t dangerous?
That’s very MAGA of you… Hayne.
Do you intend to spend the rest of your life keeping 2 metres away from everyone else? It has been over a year already, so it is long overdue to consider which “protective measures” are practicable and proportionate.
[Do you intend to spend the rest of your life keeping 2 metres away from everyone else?]
They’re going to tell you to anyway, and it sounds like you’ll do what you’re told.
The nonsense of the nonsense that we live in is a total nonsense. The Coronavirus madness better not mess with Russia and Putin, they always win.
I watched this live on Medici. The 2 Russians were very good. But the Chinese dude who played the Tchaikovsky piano concerto was the clear winner.
He was near flawless technically, had good artistry and sync with the orchestra.
And the audience gave him a huge ovation.
But the judges had already decided t his is to be a Russian event.
