In new York held a protest against the concert of Valery Gergiev with the Mariinsky orchestra in Carnegie hall, as the famous Russian conductor signed a letter in support of the illegal annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014.

As reported, Ukrainian journalist, Julia Gorodetskaya, the demonstration was organized by activists of the movement SIGNERBUSTERS, which is against Russian artists who support the Kremlin’s aggression against Ukraine.

Thus on his page on Facebook, where women posted photos from the rally, she pointed out the hypocritical actions Georgieva, who, four years after the capture of the Peninsula, and has not withdrawn its signature.

“It’s funny (actually not), but last time Gergiev gave an interview in which he renounced the signature under the infamous document. Once again. But this same signature again, he has not withdrawn,” writes Gorodetskaya.

The participants came with posters “Crimea is Ukraine”, “Gergiev – a Trojan horse of Putin”, “shame on the propagandists of the war” and others.
