Boris Grebenshchikov, a well-known Russian singer and songwriter, sometimes apparently labeled the » Grandfather of Russian Rock, » performed this song on March 2 in London, saying « The war between Russia and Ukraine is madness, and the people who made it are the shame of Russia. » Various sources (e.g., here, and here) report that both appearances by Grebenshchikov and performances of any of his work have been banned by Russian authorities, though I can’t vouch for the accuracy of that. I found the performance quite affecting: The sentiment is hardly novel, but the occasion (and Grebenshchikov’s performance) gave it heft.
