Pushkov commented on the statement about the "persecution" of Rotaru

“Of course, there is no order for the persecution of Rotaru,” Pushkov wrote on his Twitter.

Of course, there is no order for Rotaru's persecution. But we are tired of guest workers who come to make money in Russia, and at home they either curse it in vain, like Katamadze, or invent fairy tales as if they were forbidden to travel to Crimea like Vaikule. So Rotaru is not very happy.

The senator noted that Rotaru is “not very happy” in Russia.

“We are tired of touring people who come to make money in Russia, and at home they curse it for nothing,” he added.

Earlier, URA.RU reported that the concert director of Sofia Rotaru, Sergey Lavrov, announced the custom-made nature of criticism of the singer.
