In response to Kiev's intention to declare the 500 Russian artists persona non grata, the Communists propose to apply retaliatory sanctions against Ukrainian performers.

The reason for this proposal was the incorrect behavior of some Ukrainian artists who openly promote loyalty to the Kiev authorities.

"Musicians and other artists such as Russia and Ukraine Makarevich, Noize-MC, Ruslana and similar maintain essentially punitive operation of the Kiev junta in Donbas. Do they make it for ideological reasons or because of money - the same crime in relation to theENGLISH civilization and the Russian people, - stated in the appeal of deputies. - Solve the problem can only be forbidden to invite these artists, or at least recommend to the organizers of major competitions, concerts and other events to prevent the participation of those artists who directly or indirectly support the punitive operation of the Kiev junta in Donbas. "

Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party Sergei Obukhov said that such issues should be solved not by deputies and officials, and by a vote of Russians.

- Therefore, in this case, we only respond to the appropriate public inquiry. On our resource the party "People's Initiative" Internet users have already put forward a proposal to prohibit the performance of Russian artists in supporting the punitive operation of the Kiev junta in Donbas. Because these issues are beyond the competence of the legislature, we redirected the initiative of the organizers of mass events in Russia - let take a decision on the conscience and guided by the opinion and sentiments of Russian spectators, - he explained.

People elect believes that "put them in their place" only responses. While their absence would lead to stimulation of Ukrainian rudeness.

- If you put them in implementing an adequate situation, then I think it will accelerate the establishment of relations between Russia and Ukraine. That is, they finally realize that the actions of the cave they uplift themselves in the first place, - he explained the deputy in the comments to "Izvestia". - So this is the right initiative. We must firmly respond to any combat and sanctions against our Stras, - said Solovyov.

Different opinion President of AMEDIA Alexander Akopov.

- Do not want to deepen the existing tensions and so so funny occasion. I remember the children's anecdote: a little boy resorts to his mother and she complains about the fact that his current transformer hit. Mom replies: "Well, do not beat him, whether it smarter," - he said.

According to the expert, it is not necessary to respond to the initiative of the Ukrainian authorities, as the issue stage is not as important as, for example, support domestic agricultural producers.
