Answer Ernst Zemfira
Namely - the singer has threatened retaliatory lawsuit if she would sue for the use of her song at the opening ceremony of the Games.
"I know Zemfira from the very beginning, when no one knew. I called Zemfira several times, she did not take the phone. I can say that Zemfira breached its contract with the company, which at that time I was in charge, REAL Records and I did not submit it to the court. Where it was 5 or 7 years ago. I think that her desire to draw attention to the background, so to speak, of interest in the Olympic Games ... Well, she can sue, but then, I'm afraid I'll have to go back to the history of its breach of contract with REAL Records. I then forgave her the violation and did not sue. Although he could. If she is my attitude to answer a lawsuit, well, then, you know, there is a principle of "the level of the proposed action." I think I have to Zemfira, for her career has done a lot. And such pettiness, I think such a prominent singer's just a shame. "
