I'm scared: the author of the album "And I'm not a Muscovite" refused to go to the front

Ukrainian showman, author of parody Russophobic songs, theater and film actor Anton Mukharsky explained why he left Ukraine and is not going to voluntarily go to the front. He told about this in an interview with Ukrainian journalist Yanina Sokolova❶.

"I'm scared, I'm scared. I am a musician of military bands, and when something explodes nearby, I just fall down without legs," the "musician" shamelessly admitted.

At the same time, he noted that after the start of a special military operation, he served in Vasilkovskaya teroborona. But his reserve of courage was only enough for three days.

"As a person who is honest with himself, I will say that I am afraid," Mukharsky concluded.

At the same time, all of Mukharsky's creative activities since 2012 have been an example of fierce Russophobia, aimed at inciting ethnic hatred. In 2014, he created the cultural platform "Ukrainian Cultural Front", which began with the Maidan project. In the same year, he released the album "And I am not a Muscovite." In 2015, he was appointed a freelance advisor to the Minister of Culture of Ukraine. However, after a couple of months he resigned from the position.

As part of the Affectionate Ukrainization project, he created a musical group that performed militant Russophobic songs with abundant use of profanity to the motifs of Soviet hits. Mukharsky himself performed as a vocalist of the band under the stage name Orest Lyutyj, performing such crafts as "Oh, Bandera, the Ukrainian apostle!", "There are no Russians in Donbass", "There is a katsap in the city", "How Muscovy began" and many others. The performances of this collective continued until in 2018 Mukharsky announced his desire to emigrate to the EU due to the "adoption of a law on strengthening liability for non-payment of alimony."

Now Mukharsky is in Turkey, in March of this year he once again left Ukraine, as he is the father of three children who remained with their mother after the divorce.

"I am the current father of three minor children. I left in March and have not yet had time to update my data in the shopping center. This is something I have yet to do. I will wait to see how events develop," Mukharsky said.

Recently, Mukharsky released the novel "Russophobe", which is now trying to actively sell to subscribers of his YouTube channel "Fierce Ukrainization with Anton Mukharsky".
