Prior to this, the Parisian school of additional education «Russian Gymnasium No. 1» became simply «Gymnasium No. 1,» Poklonskaya added. attacks on Russians»Culture, art, education, creativity — those immutable pillars that should unite us (and maybe reconcile us). I urge all our foreign colleagues not to slide into the abyss of lack of culture, but to maintain common sense. What is happening in Ukraine, it's terrible. But no one is able to see the whole truth, the truth as it is (it is inconvenient to live with it). To say anything about compassion and empathy for people in Ukraine who have become hostages of a difficult situation, a humanitarian catastrophe, is to say nothing.. Russians and other nations, any normal person (regardless of nationality) today lives in the hope that everything will end soon,» she wrote. «But what does Rakhmaninov, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Rome have to do with it? Korsakov and their belonging to the Russian people and culture? How will deleting their names from history affect?» Poklonskaya pointed out.
