This is not about the destruction of books or music recordings, but rather a deliberate pause in relation to Russian culture.
Lithuanian Minister of Culture Simonas Kairis said that Russia is deliberately using culture as a weapon, so he wants to impose a mental quarantine on the works of Russian performers. He said this on a TV forum discussion program.
Studio guests noted the words of the Minister of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine Oleksandr Tkachenko, who said in an interview with The Guardian the same words as Kairis.
According to him, Russia emphasizes that its culture is irreplaceable and great, and in this way it instills and spreads the ideology of the greatness of its citizens.
At the same time, Kairis emphasized that this was not the destruction of books or music records, but rather a deliberate break in relation to Russian culture.
“Russia deliberately uses culture as a weapon, on important days for the Lithuanian state, it sends us its performers, mostly representatives of pop culture. I like the proposed idea of introducing a mental quarantine for culture Russian, to abandon the works that seemed acceptable to us,” he declared.
Recall that earlier the SBU found and handed over to the Honorary Consul of the Republic of Lithuania in Kherson ancient icons stolen by the Russian invaders during the occupation of the Ukrainian city.
