Just in: Gergiev beams anti-Ukraine slogans onto Bolshoi curtain

Just in: Gergiev beams anti-Ukraine slogans onto Bolshoi curtain

One of our Moscow moles attended Valery Gergiev’s new production of Sergei Prokofiev’s opera, Semyon Kotko. He was horrified to see propaganda slides beamed up onto the curtain, justifying Putin’s Ukraine war.

The slides were either initiated or authorised by Gergiev, as director of the Bolshoi. He is now actively complicit in Putin’s war crimes.

The slogans read:

The junta seized power in Kyiv and started repressions against its citizens. In response, the inhabitants of the city proclaimed the Donetsk People’s Republic. Instead of negotiations, the criminal Kyiv regime began the destruction of Donbass.

In February 2022 the Russian army came to the aid of the inhabitants of Donbass, who fought for eight years for their life and freedom.
As a result of a nationwide referendum, the Luhansk region returned to Russia forever.
