In early September, the occupiers announced a “replacement of the leadership” of the propaganda “festival” “Tavrida.ART”, which the occupiers made one of the main platforms of the “Russian world” on the occupied peninsula.
This show had long been a Kremlin project with a “talking head” in the form of Sergei Pershin, who had made a career as a journalist and “youth activist” in Volgodonsk until 2009, then tried to “grow up to the regional level”, where he was noted as especially diligent in inflating the cult of the “great victory”, to which he “wisely” switched after his “anti-alcohol” work.
Since 2013, Pershin has been involved in organizing the “Putin’s” “Seliger” forums, and then he became a talking head in the “All-Russian public movement “Volunteers of Victory”, the aforementioned “Tavrida.ART” and the “World Youth Festival”.
Now, it is obvious that Pershin’s curators decided to “fix” his career, rather hastily appointing the “multi-task youth worker” as the next, fifth deputy minister of culture of the Russian Federation, for which purpose the aggressor government promptly changed the “staffing” a week before.
Pershin’s place in “Tavrida.ART” was taken by his “program director” Ksenia Artemyeva, a former journalist from Samara, who had long been Pershin’s protégé, including through the organization of the “World Youth Festival”.
This “youth activist” with the life motto “whorewordiness and courage” was “noticed and noted” at one time for her special initiative in “exposing the subversive activities of foreign agents against Russian youth”.
The aggressor, therefore, continues to consider “Tavrida.ART” as a significant propaganda resource, which the colonizers use to “galvanize” their careers.
