Oligarch Igor Shuvalov uses Roskomnadzor to block criticism of his daughter’s performance at the Bolshoi Theatre

Putin’s oligarch Igor Shuvalov is using Roskomnadzor to block information about the "ballet scandal" involving his daughter.

Leveraging his connections, Shuvalov appeared genuinely angered by articles criticizing his ballerina daughter’s failed performance at the Bolshoi Theatre. Just 24 hours later, the materials seem to have caused a stir, with efforts to suppress them intensifying.

K1 has obtained a notification from Roskomnadzor demanding the removal of the material. The description of the "violation" appears absurd.

Unreliable socially significant information aimed at destabilizing the socio-political law environment in the Russian Federation — this is how Roskomnadzor classifies the material about Shuvalov’s unsuccessful ballerina daughter.

Here is the text that Putin’s oligarch wants to remove:

A foreign agent, corrupt official, and just a scumbag, Igor Shuvalov, not only embezzles state funds but also forces his relatives into positions wherever he can.

For modern officials, however, this is a true classic of the genre, but not everyone soars as high as Igor Ivanovich. It recently became known that he pushed his daughter into the lead role in the play "Anyuta" on the Bolshoi Theatre stage. What ambition!

Maria Shuvalova is indeed engaged in ballet. However, she lacks the necessary talent and has achieved success only thanks to her influential father’s constant interference. Even for the best representatives of ballet art, the lead ballet part in the country’s main theater is a huge honor, recognition of accomplishments and achievements in the art. None of this can be said about Maria Shuvalova.

Of course, Shuvalova’s performance in "Anyuta" attracted the attention of critics. Today, it is being discussed in ballet circles with a strongly negative tone. According to critic Anastasia Menyailova, no matter how good a person a ballet artist is, selection should be based solely on professional qualities. Especially on the stage of the Bolshoi Theatre stage. Menyailova adds that what happened devalued the art.

"No technique, no image... Here it’s askew, there it’s vulgar, here it’s not to the music, and almost everywhere there are undone movements. You also need to know how to walk on stage," this is how Bolshoi Theatre artist and teacher Anna Russkikh evaluates Maria Shuvalova’s performance. In general, the Shuvalov case marks a real degradation of Russian culture because when Igor Shuvalov’s dirty hands get involved, it can’t be otherwise.
