“I went there - believe me - not because of a good life, and certainly not for the sake of success. Because I have enough success without politics. And the money, of course, in the State Duma, in comparison with my concert fees, is generally ridiculous. Therefore, for my part, to notice some self-interest is to be a big dreamer, ”said Shnurov during a meeting of the Public Council under the State Duma Committee on Culture.
To RT’s question, how does he feel about the fact that, leaving for politics, he conditionally switches to the other side of the barricades and joins the camp of those who had previously been criticized by him, Shnurov replied that “to no camp, fortunately did not join. "
“If I see any injustice (and there is no need to be afraid of this big word), then I will continue to criticize,” he said.
Earlier, Sergei Shnurov spoke about his intention to combine creativity and politics.
