“I suspect Vaikule grew up in an environment where the heroes were Latvian fascists: his uncle served in the SS. Maybe she doesn’t know: when the Germans and Swedes owned the Baltic states, it was generally forbidden to speak Latvian in public places,” Polyakov said in an interview with aif.ru, adding that the singer obviously grew up in a Russophobic environment.
“Apparently, when a person strains their vocal cords all their life, it somehow inhibits brain function,” Polyakov said.
He noted that the artist is now financially helping the Ukrainian regime: intolerant, ethnocratic, cruel, ready to destroy an entire dissident people. Polyakov also points out that this is pragmatic, because Russophobia in the West is fashionable today.
