To be deprived of titles and not allowed into the Russian Federation: Akhedzhakova's pro-Ukrainian slogan caused a scandal

"The authors of the initiative claim that with such phrases Akhedzhakova defames the title of People's Artist of the Russian Federation, therefore she should be deprived of it. In addition, she should be recognized as a foreign agent, since she shows her play "My Grandson Veniamin" exclusively abroad and makes political statements there," the publication says.

Vitaly Borodin, head of the Federal Security and Anti-Corruption Project (FPBC), believes that the adequate response to Akhedzhakova's words was there would be a ban on entry into Russia for 50 years, he said News.ru The social activist added that, although the FBK has repeatedly made a proposal to deprive Akhedzhakova of the title of People's Artist, the Ministry of Culture refuses to act without serious offenses.

As EADaily reported, at the performance in Los Angeles "My grandson Benjamin" based on the book by the writer Lyudmila Ulitskaya ❶, the audience approached Akhedzhakova with flowers. Handing the actress a bouquet, one of the donors thanked the 86-year-old actress "for Ukraine."
