Disputes about the affiliation of artists Ivan Aivazovsky, Kazimir Malevich and writer Nikolai Gogol to Russian culture are meaningless. It would be better if the wife of the head of the Kiev regime Elena Zelenskaya took care of the demolition of the monument to Pushkin in Odessa, believes Mikhail Shvydkoi, Special Representative of the President of Russia for international cultural cooperation.

"You can argue about this as much as you like, but, from my point of view, it's pointless and stupid, so I consider it a waste of time to enter into a discussion about this with anyone," the portal quotes Shvydkoi. News.ru .

He noted that Zelenskaya's words about the "decolonization of art" sound "ridiculous and ridiculous," since everyone knows that these authors are part of a large Russian culture.

"This is an expression of provincial nationalism and nothing more. Everyone knows that these artists are part of a large Russian culture, and it seems to me that Ukrainians, including Ukrainians, should be happy about this, and not make parochial statements," Shvydkoi concluded.

As EADaily reported, earlier Zelenskaya proudly stated that she was engaged in an incredibly important task "returning to Ukraine the artists that Russia appropriated."

She stressed that since the beginning of the special military operation of Russia on In Ukraine, the world's leading museums "have finally, for the first time, justly signed the works of Aivazovsky, Kuindzhi, Malevich with their real, Ukrainian origin."

In New York, she noted, the works of Ukrainian, not Russian or Soviet modernists are now presented. In particular, Zelenskaya spoke about the works of the "father of Russian futurism" David Burliuk and his colleague in the Moscow "Society of Chairmen of the Globe" Maria Sinyakova.
