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.
