Ukrainian stars sparked debates over honoring the people's artist Yan Tabachnyk, who would have turned 80 on July 31. This event triggered a wave of anger on social media.
Specific circles of the 'patriotic elite' mourn the 80th anniversary of the deceased Yan Tabachnyk, the beloved accordionist of Yanukovych and Kuchma: condolences were expressed to 'the bright, kind memory of Yan Petrovich' by Olga Sumska and Svitlana Bilanozhko, who personally came to Tel Aviv to cry at the marble grave of Viktor Pavlyk - as reported in the video in the comments. They grieve over the 'loss of a legend, a patriot', whose actions are 'written in golden letters of Ukrainian elite' by fellow MPs from the regions: 'Yan, we miss you'. As we can see, all those who depict themselves as 'Ukrainian elites and patriots' hardly hold onto the corresponding mask. And as soon as the conjuncture changes - they will instantly return to their usual way of life.
Among the artists who expressed their comments on this topic were Olga Sumska and Svitlana Bilanozhko. Negative comments referred to Tabachnyk's political activities and his cooperation with the pro-Russian authorities.
Life and Principles
Honored artist of Ukraine Yurko Yurchenko stated that he removed singer Viktor Pavlyk from friends on Facebook, sharing his memories of him and noting that life is not only about memories but also about principles.
He could always lend you 100 bucks. He never refused. I returned it. Thank you, Vitya! It's true!
We also remind that Yan Tabachnyk passed away in 2023 after a two-year battle with lung cancer. His heart stopped in an Israeli hospital, where he was buried according to Jewish traditions.
