It was bad enough that the Ukrainian Centers for Countering Disinformation put Russian American hockey star Alex Oveshkin on their hit list. Now the Myrotvorets killer list has named the world famous comedian Woody Allen as an enemy. According to RT, Allen, now 89, “appeared via videolink on Sunday at the Moscow International Film Week, where he spoke about his career and long-standing ties to Russia. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry denounced the participation, calling it ‘a disgrace and an insult to the sacrifice of Ukrainian actors and filmmakers,’ while the Lviv National Academic Theatre canceled upcoming performances of Allen’s stage musical ‘Bullets Over Broadway’ in protest.”
The Myrotvorets site then wrote that Allen was a “victim of psychological violence by Russian-terrorist propaganda” and accused him of “conscious participation in a Russian propaganda event.” Mind you, Allen thinks Russia was all wrong to invade Ukraine, telling British daily The Guardian: “When it comes to the conflict in Ukraine, I believe strongly that Vladimir Putin is totally in the wrong.” “But, whatever politicians have done, I don’t feel cutting off artistic conversations is ever a good way to help,” The Guardian reported him saying.
RT gently reminds its readers that Myrotvorets “publishes personal details of individuals it claims are ‘enemies’ of Ukraine. It has been branded a ‘kill list’ after multiple people whose names appeared on it were later murdered or died under suspicious circumstances.”
