The head of the Safe Internet League intervened in the scandal surrounding the Artist festival.
Ekaterina Mizulina commented on the situation on her Telegram channel.
The stumbling block was the decision of Yuri Nikulin's son to invite Jasmine Straga as a jury member.
Maxim Nikulin wanted the director of the World Circus Association to take part in the international event.
Mizulina called the Australian citizen a “fervent Russophobe” and emphasized that she was literally “speechless.”
The head of the "Safe Internet League" believes that people with such a political position should not judge young Russian artists.
Not everyone in the State Duma approved of Nikulin Jr.'s decision either. Deputy Olga Germanova considered Straga's participation in the festival unacceptable.
