Earlier, in an interview, Tinkov❶ sharply criticized Russians who listen to the song "Mother Earth" in "unfriendly Europe". The businessman believes that the line about Russia, which "is a pain in the ass for others," should not be heard in the "center of Europe."

"Oleg, why do you want to ban Russians from being Russians and dancing to the songs they like? Admit that you would also like to start dancing, but you are shy. Make dumplings, you once did it well. It is useful for the nervous system," Kurtukova advised the outraged businessman.
