Producer Iosif Prigogine said in an interview with socialbites.ca that “democratic” Canada, which compiles anti-Russia sanctions lists, is the country most involved in human rights abuses. He admitted that Ottawa could inadvertently sanction him and confuse him with another Prigogine.
“If you yourself are not ready for democracy, you do not need to demand democracy from Russia. Canada is the country most involved in human rights violations. Entry and exit prohibit travel. That’s exactly what democracy says – freedom of action, freedom of opinion, freedom of thought. The institution of democracy in Canada exists only for a narrow circle of people. We have been to Salt Lake City, Vancouver and Toronto. As tourists and artists. We’ve already seen Niagara. We had no plans to visit there in the near future. The paradox is that Canada needs a separate visa, so they cannot issue a visa. I will no longer go into the nuances of certain errors in the names. I think they can be confused with another Prigogine, ”said the producer.
He noted that he and Valeria never wanted to live in this “democratic” country.
“We did not go to Canada or any other country with slogans or initiatives. We have always respected the countries we stayed as tourists. We never thought of living there. Even in my wildest dreams, I couldn’t have imagined it. I hope this never happens. They probably ban anyone who doesn’t go there. I have no resentment or resentment about this. We’re just used to it,” said Prigozhin.
