Star mezzo’s husband joins Russia propaganda unit

Star mezzo’s husband joins Russia propaganda unit

Youtube is hosting a Russian TV video featuring Mikhail Simonyan in occupied Ukraine, calling on more Russians to join the war.

Simonyan is married to the Moscow mezzo Vasilisa Berzhanskaya, a world-class performer who is occasionally seen on western stages.

The video, sparsely watched, has just been brought to our attention.

Simonyan is a Curtis-trained violinist and conductor.
