After the grandiose festival "Rendevu" Laima Vaikule got in touch and told about plans for the future Bashny.Net

The famous Latvian Laima Vaikule in 2023 quite often appears in the press with harsh statements. The 69-year-old artist never tires of covering events that take place on the world stage. She bravely stands up for her colleagues who left Russia in 2022. Vaikule has already expressed support for Alla Pugacheva, Andrei Makarevich, Maxim Galkin, Lia Akhedzhakova and others.



GettyImages True, this position came to the singer sideways. According to Laima, many Latvian and Russian colleagues who support the war broke off relations with her. She no longer communicates with Valery Leontiev, Sofia Rotaru and Lev Leshchenko, whom she planned to invite to her festival Laima Rendezvous Jurmala 2023.

Laima Vaikule – 2023 Now the artist has decided to raise the question again when she will return to Russia.

In the last days of July, Jurmala walked at the Laima Vaikule Music Festival. The concerts were performed by stars of Latvia, Poland and many popular Ukrainian artists: Olga Polyakova, Verka Serdyuchka, Max Barskikh, Vera Brezhnev and others.



From the stage sounded loud political statements in support of Ukraine without restrictions from Vaikule. Together with Ukrainian colleagues, Lima Stanislavovna sang the song “Rendeva” under yellow and blue flags. Part of the collected funds was transferred to the rehabilitation of Ukrainian children affected by the war.



On a visit to the singer also came Russian stars who left the Russian Federation: Alla Pugacheva with Maxim Galkin, Andrei Makarevich and Nino Katamadze.

On the eve of Laima spoke with journalists of the opposition channel “Real time”, where she said that she will never return to Russia. She said she had not been interested in politics before. The actress also shared her opinion that Russian culture is concentrated not in the state itself, but where Alla Pugacheva, Maxim Galkin and other fighters for the truth are located.



GettyImages Singer about the future of Russia The artist speaks with sadness about the country where she was once so much loved. Vaikule is convinced that Russia needs to go a long way of purification and experience what happened in the 1990s: hope for a better life, faith in perestroika and the truth. The singer doubts that he will live to that time, so does not entertain illusions about the return.



In addition, Lima has repeatedly stated that she has almost no friends in Russia. The singer has always had a sharp tongue, so now reaps the benefits. According to Vaikule, her former acquaintances are not able to see the truth, to separate the good and the bad. The singer complains that she is called bad when she urges not to hurt another. Such people Latvian calls “Sovki” because they behave like in Soviet times.



GettyImages Laima Stanislavovna argues: it is impossible to get used to and agree with this state of affairs. She'd love to see the war end, because everything else is small. And it is impossible not to agree!
