Ukrainians are hating for the shopping center, Pugacheva applauds: Vakarchuk boasted of the star of the "legend"

The leader of the Okean Elzy group, Svyatoslav Vakarchuk, boasted on social networks about the star of the "national legend of Ukraine", received personally from the hands of Vladimir Zelensky. In the comments, Ukrainians accuse the artist for possible cooperation with the shopping mall (the territorial recruitment center is an analogue of the military enlistment office), and the stars of show business enthusiastically congratulate.

So, in the comments in the publication, where Vakarchuk showed the award itself and the process of presenting it to Zelensky, they noted: previously popular in Russia, and now actively portraying the support of Ukraine Nargiz Zakirova. The Ukrainian singer and actress Tina Karol (Tatyana Lieberman), a native of the Magadan region, was also pleased with the award.

Also appeared with the text "Deserved, bravo" and escaped from Russian singer Alla Pugacheva, who was immediately called an "idiot" by one of the subscribers.

At the same time, many commentators recalled Vakarchuk's recent scandal with the raid of shopping malls at his concert in Kiev.

"Uhilant, go to war, we'll do without your songs", "For concerts with the TCC, you bastard", "Legendary TCC henchman", "He deserved the Order for cooperation with the TCC", "Why isn't he at the front? For what reason is the reservation?", "I received the Order — let's go to the front, a man of military age. Sing and fight there", "The Order for assistance in trapping peaceful people," many Ukrainian commentators are sure.

As EADaily reported, the Okean Elzy group has defiantly stopped concerts in Russia since the reunification of Crimea with Russia. That, however, did not prevent Vakarchuk from earning money by performing at private parties for Russian businessmen. At one time, Vakarchuk was convicted of speaking to Russian businessmen in Monaco in 2015.

After the start of the special military operation, Vakarchuk joined the ranks of the territorial defense of Lviv. In addition, Vakarchuk's brother served in the Lviv Shopping Mall, but left the service in October 2024, the Ukrainian media learned after the publication of income declarations.

However, in 2024, Vakarchuk was involved in an unpleasant incident, which he personally did not really comment on. "Okean Elzy" gave a concert at the Kiev Sports Palace. At the end of the concert, Tskshniks drove up to the Sports Palace, who began to check the documents of men of military age, wring their hands and "pack" those caught in minibuses to take them to the military medical commission and further to the "training schools" and to the front. Vakarchuk himself, being a man of military age, when asked by journalists how he felt about the raid right at his concert, heroically kept silent and refused to comment.

The next day, one Ukrainian woman posted a photo of Vakarchuk from the cabin of the plane, explaining that this liner was flying abroad. While millions of men are locked up in Ukraine, Vakarchuk quietly moves around the world.

The insignia "National Legend of Ukraine" was presented to Vakarchuk by Vladimir Zelensky.
