The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, agreed with the position of director Nikita Mikhalkov regarding the possible performance of American rapper Kanye West in St. Petersburg. She stated this in her Telegram channel.
Mikhalkov earlier called holding such a concert offensive for the memory of the city that survived the blockade.
Commenting on the words of the director, Zakharova noted that questions to the possible performance of the musician arise not only in relation to St. Petersburg. According to her, the historical memory is preserved by residents of other Russian cities.
Mikhalkov, in turn, linked his position with West's ambiguous public actions. The director said that he considers the appearance of the rapper on stage in the former besieged Leningrad inappropriate and humiliating for the city and its residents.
In particular, Mikhalkov referred to scandals around the artist related to Nazi themes. According to the director, holding West's concert in the city, where survivors of the blockade still live, would indicate a disregard for historical memory.
Kanye West’s concerts were scheduled to take place in St. Petersburg on October 10 and 11. Now there is information that the performance of the American rapper can be scheduled for the summer of 2027 in Moscow.
Mikhalkov called to remember the blockade because of the concert of Kanye West in St. Petersburg.
