Thank you, @PromontoryChi for canceling performance of Putin's Trojan musician Igor Butman. Art & artist’s reputation shouldn’t be used to whitewash tyranny, oppression and war! We're hopeful that @KornerKeystone & @SMDCAC will respond by also cancelling Igor Butman performances
Say NO to Igor Butman!
In March 2014 #IgorButman was among 511 Russian cultural figures who signed a letter in support of the policies of Russian President Putin on Ukraine and Crimea https://t.co/OFC4cXCW2R

@PromontoryChi@JAKEandRATSO Do you separate culture from politics? Would you support a favorite musician who stands publicly in support of a repressive, criminal government? We respectfully call on you to reconsider allowing Mr. Butman to perform at your venue @chicagotribune
Only five months later the Soviets attacked Poland and they slaughtered thousands of Poles. You may try, but You won't be able to falsify history! Poles will always remember your atrocious crimes. It was barbarity, plain and simple.
Poland was the first country to experience the armed aggression of Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia.
Poland was the first country that fought to defend free Europe and the war’s first victim.
We can't let anyone trample the memory of these events, we must stand up for the truth!
