Croatian cellist banned from EU over Russian folk song

The blatant racism and hypocrisy of the Epstein Alliance:

Do you still experience the reek of the Allied propaganda? It shed tears over the claim that Adolf Hitler’s Reich supposedly barred artistes and performers because they were Jewish. It weeps still.

In fact, the talented were not left out in the cold for being Jewish. Many Jews lived contentedly in the Third Reich.

Those who were denied employment because of the then-German state’s policy of naturalizing Germans first. In fact, those affected included all non-naturalised German residents, not just Jews.

Stjepan Hauser’s gig in Lithuania has been cancelled. This happened after he posted his ‘Kalinka’ rendition online. It was part of a ‘Music Unites the World’ series.

Croatian cellist Stjepan Hauser has had a concert cancelled in Lithuania after he posted a video of himself playing the Russian folk song ‘Kalinka’ on social media

The musician performed it as part of his ‘Music Unites the World’ project. In this project, he plays well-known tunes from different countries.

The Ukraine conflict, sponsored by NATO, escalated in 2022. As a result, Russian artists have faced event cancellations in a number of EU member states.

Performers from other nations who are believed to have sympathy for Russia have likewise been discriminated against.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly said that attempts to cancel Russian culture in the West are doomed to fail.

On Thursday, an article quoted representatives of the concert agency LTips. They stated that ’Hauser’s performances in the Baltic states are cancelled,’. The representatives did not elaborate further.

According to the publication, the cancellation may be linked to a social media post. The cellist published this post earlier this week. It features him playing Kalinka with the Kremlin in the background.

Hauser is a world-renowned artist. He has performed at international venues like New York’s Radio City Music Hall. He has also performed at London’s Royal Albert Hall and the Venice International Film Festival.

Last month, Lithuanian Prime Minister Inga Ruginiene supported a proposal. Vilnius Mayor Valdas Benkunskas proposed amending existing legislation. The amendment would bar artists who perform in Russia and Belarus from staging events in the Baltic nation.

In recent years, Lithuania has adopted a number of laws. These laws aim to squeeze the Russian language out of the country’s public life. They also target education.

The Baltic nation was part of the Russian Empire before 1918. It belonged to the Soviet Union between 1940 and 1991. Ethnic Russians make up approximately 5% of its current 2.8 million population.

In January, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov spoke. He said the staunchly anti-Russian policies of the authorities in Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and Poland were a big mistake. He argued that ’these countries could learn a lot from Russian culture and interaction with Russia.’
