First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Education Yana Lantratova ("Fair Russia — For the Truth") I asked subscribers to evaluate the color scheme of the poster of the concert of the People's Artist of Russia Valeria, which is made in yellow and blue colors. The deputy published a photo of the poster hinting at the Ukrainian flag in her telegram channel.
The singer's husband, music producer Joseph Prigozhin, reacted sharply to the publication.
"Deputies, apparently, have nothing else to do. This is called provocation. Even if the poster was yellow and blue, are we going under the guise of some kind of flag? Digging out of the blue. We don't touch anyone, they are looking for some reason," he told the portal. News.ru .
According to Prigozhin, when printing the poster, the color rendering may be distorted. In addition, the producer wondered if it was even possible now in Russia should use a combination of yellow and blue colors.
"Valeria came in a blue dress, and the background on the federal channel turned out to be yellow. What are we going to do about it now?" — Prigozhin is perplexed.
He suggested that now he would have to give up the blue dress and go only in black, gray or white and their combinations.
"We are already intimidated as much as we can. What are we going to do next? This is pure nonsense. The colors of the rainbow were taken away from us by gays, the yellow-blue colors were taken away by Ukrainians," the producer concluded.
At the same time, Lantratova herself later explained that she respects Valeria's work. Also, she has no suspicions about her patriotic position or the position of Joseph Prigozhin. She called the incident an accident.
"To avoid this, it is necessary to be more attentive to those who prepare posters. Especially now, in the days of war, when so many of our men are fighting at the front, when our cities are being shelled, civilians are being killed. This is my position," the parliamentarian explained.
