TV presenter Lera Kudryavtseva commented on Chulpan Khamatova’s statement in support of the demolition of the monument to Soviet soldiers-liberators in Riga. On his Telegram channel, he posted several emotional messages criticizing the position of the actress.
“I watched this excerpt from the interview. I sit and stare at the screen for 10 minutes. Haven’t I heard of all this? I felt sick because I forbade myself to swear, ”wrote the presenter. – What is she wearing! Immortal mockery is soulless. Victory has been given. And he doesn’t know if Pushkin is a threat to Latvia’s national security.”
In an interview with Latvian radio channel in Russian, Khamatova said that the monument, which was destroyed in August 2022, was allegedly confiscated by the Russian authorities. At the same time, the actress could not comment on the destruction of the monument to Alexander Pushkin in Riga. She admitted that she did not understand why the poet’s memory could pose a threat to Latvia’s national security.
The actor left Russia after the start of a special operation in Ukraine. Now Khamatova lives in Latvia and performs at the New Riga Theater.
