The founder and former frontman of the legendary band Pink Floyd addressed the people of Russia. The video of the appeal was published by the Russian-language RT telegram channel.
Waters said that to date the “glorious people of Russia” have not been truly thanked for the victory over Nazism, which cost 22 million lives.
“Thank you! Thank you! We thank you, the people of Russia, for the enormous sacrifice you have made. No, we did not win the war on D-Day. You won the war on the Eastern Front. You. It was you, the Russians. – the musician concluded.
Recall that earlier the Russian ambassador in Washington Anatoly Antonov He claimed that the White House was belittling and repudiating the USSR’s role in crushing fascism.
As reported EADailyWaters has previously strongly denounced the mobilization in Ukraine, calling it “the destruction of men who do not want to fight and their use as cannon fodder.”
The founder of Pink Floyd regularly voices unpopular theses in the West, for which the 68-year-old rocker is accused of anti-Semitism, cancels concerts, refuses to be admitted to hotels and is even forced to challenge the right to sing in front of audiences in court.
Last December, Waters told Rossiya-1 that he was ready to consider moving to Russia. Waters noted that due to performances on Russian television, Western celebrities miss out on many projects and the opportunity to perform in their homeland. The rocker called this situation “absurd.”
In July this year, the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev invited Waters to speak to soldiers in a special military operation.
According to Medvedev, the military will greatly appreciate this performance, and Waters is just one of those musicians who gives concerts not for money, but in accordance with his personal beliefs.
