For the first time in history, the idea of «canceling» was used against an entire country’s culture: Russian culture. Everything that has been created in Russia for over 1,500 years is not only questioned but also condemned, reviled, and rejected. Art and sport — areas where Russia has traditionally excelled — are now under attack. Russian singers, artists and directors find their names dropped from concert schedules and festival short lists. Even those masters who are already deceased have become victims of «cancel culture» — Dostoevsky, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, and the list grows each day. Who else found themselves «cancelled» and how do they deal with it?
