Attempts to Cancel Russian Culture Since 2022 Have Failed, Russian Deputy PM Says
Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova says efforts to isolate Russia and suppress its culture abroad have not succeeded.
Attempts to "cancel" Russian culture internationally since 2022 have failed, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova said, according to a report from TASS.
Golikova also referenced broader efforts to isolate Russia on the world stage since that period, characterizing those efforts as unsuccessful as well.
Ongoing debate over cultural boycotts
Since 2022, a number of Western institutions and organizations have reassessed or scaled back engagement with Russian cultural figures, performances, and works, a trend that has been described in various contexts as an attempt to "cancel" Russian culture. Russian officials have periodically pushed back against this characterization, arguing that Russian art, literature, and music continue to hold a significant place internationally.
Golikova's remarks add to a series of statements from Russian officials asserting that broader efforts to isolate the country economically, diplomatically, and culturally have not achieved their intended effect.
No further details were provided in the report regarding specific evidence or data cited to support the claim.
