Minister of Culture Lyubimova spoke about the work with the Ministry of Defense on the formation of propaganda teams

The head of the Ministry of Culture, Olga Lyubimova, said that the department is “working very seriously” with the Ministry of Defense on the formation of propaganda teams. Their work, she said, covers a wide range of activities. The brigades themselves allegedly include performers “from various regions, of various genres, of various ages.”

“Somewhere you need to visit the guys in rehabilitation, somewhere with a big concert, somewhere to perform on the square, somewhere to go to the regions,” the minister said in an interview with Rossiya 24 (quoted from “RIA News”). She added that work with the Ministry of Defense on this topic is being carried out “constantly, for a long time, in a coordinated manner.” Who exactly from the musicians performs in the brigades, she did not specify.

In the fall of 2022, Russia began to remove the names of artists who left the country for political reasons. In the Ministry of Culture spokethat this is required by Russian society. Ministry denied drafting a bill to deprive such artists of their titles.
