“In our city, a citizen of Israel and a singer with her mouth, Lolita, who is known for her behavior and statements, is going to have her own coven”……
It is ironic that the betrayal of Ukraine did not bring Milyavskaya “respect” in Russia. On the contrary, her Israeli citizenship, Ukrainian origin, involvement in scandals and “immoral acts” made her a target of harassment from Z-activists.
The scandal surrounding Lolita Milyavskaya reached a new level when Russian Z-activists began to actively disseminate instructions to discredit her.
Screenshots from closed groups got into the media.
Milyavskaya v. Ukraine
1. Support for Russian aggression
Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, Lolita Milyavskaya has never once expressed support for her home country. Instead, she justified the actions of the occupiers, calling the invasion “the fight against Nazism.”
“Let them stop shooting, deal with the Nazis, and then there will be peace,” she said in an interview in 2022.
These words were perceived as an insult to millions of Ukrainians who suffered from the war.
2. Concerts in the occupied territories
After the annexation of Crimea in 2014, Lolita repeatedly performed on the peninsula, ignoring the entry ban. She also gave concerts in the occupied territories of Donbass, which was a gross violation of Ukrainian legislation.
These actions reinforce Russian propaganda by creating the illusion of legitimacy of the annexation.
3. Renunciation of Ukrainian citizenship
Lolita has repeatedly stated that she has never been a citizen of Ukraine, despite her origin.
“I was never a citizen of Ukraine, because I was a citizen of the USSR,” says Milyavskaya.
Such words sound like betrayal, especially for those who are fighting for the independence of Ukraine.
4. Participation in Russian propaganda
The singer actively supports Russian propaganda narratives. She justified the annexation of Crimea, expressed support for Putin and criticized Ukraine, calling its leadership “nationalists.”
Ukraine responded
- Sanctions of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC):
On January 7, 2023, Ukraine imposed personal sanctions against Lolita Milyavskaya for her anti-Ukrainian activities. These sanctions include:
- Blocking of all assets on the territory of Ukraine.
- A ban on the withdrawal of capital from the country.
- Prohibition on participation in privatization and economic activity in Ukraine.
- Deprivation of state awards and titles.
These measures emphasize that Ukraine does not accept violations of its sovereignty and law.
- Inclusion in the “Peacemaker” database:
Milyavskaya was included in the database of the Ukrainian center “Peacemaker” for:
- Deliberate violation of the state border of Ukraine.
- Performances in the occupied territories of Crimea and Donbass.
- Support for Russian propaganda and aggression.
Inclusion in this database makes her a figure officially recognized as a threat to the national security of Ukraine.
- Complete ban on performances in Ukraine:
After the annexation of Crimea, Lolita was prohibited from performing on the territory of Ukraine. This ban underscores the country's uncompromising stance against those who support the occupation and war.
- Condemnation from society and the media:
Ukrainian public organizations, activists and media openly condemned Lolita's actions, calling her a symbol of betrayal.
Z-bullying and hatred in Russia
It is ironic that the betrayal of Ukraine did not bring Milyavskaya respect in Russia. On the contrary, her Israeli citizenship, involvement in scandals and immoral actions made her a target of harassment from Z-activists.
- Distribution of discrediting instructions:
In closed groups, activists create and distribute manuals calling for the cancellation of her concerts.“The singer with her mouth, Lolita, is organizing a coven while our soldiers are dying,” the instructions say.
- Main complaints:
Participation in a “naked party”, jokes about Russians and the presence of an Israeli passport.
These actions have already led to the cancellation of her concerts in several Russian cities.
How did Lolita get Israeli citizenship?
Lolita became an Israeli citizen thanks to her father, who had Jewish roots. Israel's Law of Return grants the right to citizenship to all Jews and their children and grandchildren.
Although Lolita rarely talks about her Israeli citizenship, it became known in her own words:
“I am a citizen of Russia and Israel. I have an Israeli passport thanks to my father,” she confirmed in an interview.
Why is she using an Israeli passport?
Lolita Milyavskaya, like many other “stars,” uses Israeli citizenship as a convenient tool for movement and access to countries with which Russia has “limited relations.”
Advantages of an Israeli passport for her:
- Wider access to international travel:
An Israeli passport allows her to visit more than 160 countries without a visa, which facilitates her touring activities.
- Opportunity to escape sanctions:
If new restrictions are introduced against Russia or its citizens, Lolita may use Israeli citizenship to conduct business or travel.
- Avoidance of liability:
Israeli citizenship helps her dodge questions about her nationality, allowing her to manipulate her image depending on the audience.
Why is Lolita's Israeli citizenship drawing criticism?
- Contradiction with her political position:
Despite having an Israeli passport, Lolita actively supports Russian aggression against Ukraine. This causes outrage among the Israeli-Ukrainian diaspora, which is actively helping their homeland in the war.
- Using citizenship for personal gain:
Israeli citizenship is perceived by many as Lolita's “insurance” rather than part of her identity. She rarely talks about ties to Israel, which gives the impression that the passport is used only for convenience.
- Moral Contradiction:
The Israeli nation, which has experienced numerous conflicts and wars, values moral principles. Lolita supporting the war may cause condemnation from Israeli society.
How do they react to her citizenship in Israel?
At the moment, there are no official statements from Israel regarding the actions of Lolita Milyavskaya. However, the Israeli Ukrainian diaspora may negatively perceive its support for Russian aggression.
If her political statements or actions attract more attention, there may be calls for her citizenship to be reconsidered.
Conclusion: foreign to everyone
Lolita Milyavskaya is an example of how betrayal and abandonment of moral principles can lead to isolation. She harmed her home country, Ukraine, strengthened the enemy's propaganda, but received no respect either in Russia or in Israel.
For us, in NAnewsher story is a warning that supporting aggression destroys trust between peoples and harms not only individual countries, but also global relations.
