“We live in a time of truth. This is a virtual reality in which there is a majority of residents. And they absolutely do not take care of their lives, but worry about Petrosyan, they hate Dzhigarkhanyan, whom they recently loved, ”said Shnurov during a meeting of the Public Council under the State Duma Committee on Culture.

According to him, people are now actually in a “matrix situation”, and it’s not clear how to deal with this.

“Own reputation: I was poured mud and deservedly, and undeservedly, millions of times. I heard so much about myself! Now, if you, I apologize, go out into the media space, if you become some kind of person who attracts public attention, then you need to be prepared for this. Unfortunately, you need to grow your own skin, you need to be an impenetrable person, ”said the musician.

He added that many “obscure rumors” even circulate around Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Well, how much? Millions! And who and what, is it possible to isolate (those who spread rumors. - RT ) can? Not! Although he has all the services. It would seem, to someone, but this person could be singled out and competed for his own reputation. Not. This is not possible, ”said the musician.

Earlier, Shnurov, who announced his intention to join the Growth Party, said whether he would combine creative activity and politics.
