Klaus Meine wants the Russians to realize all the responsibility they bear for the war in Ukraine.
In an interview with Oleksiy Sukhanov, the leader of the legendary band Scorpions, Klaus Mayne, said that he considers all Russians to be guilty of the attack on Ukraine. According to him, they succumbed to Russian propaganda, so they are complicit in the crimes of the Kremlin.
“The Germans during the Second World War attacked half the world. And we, growing up, felt a general sense of guilt. It was clear to us that every German had a part of the guilt during the Second World War. The Germans were defeated in that war, and then a step after step by step, it became clear what happened then: the Holocaust and all the terrible things, all this put a brand of collective guilt on our country… I would like people in Russia to understand what is happening now, and to develop a sense of their own responsibility for what innocent people are dying, getting injured, losing their homes,” Maini said.
According to him, he would like to say that not all Russians are guilty, but he is afraid that it is not so. Klaus wants the citizens of the aggressor country to realize what responsibility they bear.
“Yes, they say: ‘It’s not the Russians, it’s the regime,’ but the Russians support this regime. There are various sociological studies on how many Russians support the war. Of course, propaganda is also to blame for this,” the artist added.
The musician added that he has a heart for Ukraine. And now he most wants Ukrainians to feel his solidarity. That is why the singer presented a new version of the legendary song “Wind of Change”, in which he replaced the words “I walk along the Moskva River, all the way to Gorky Park, let your balalaika sound” with “Listen to my heart, it says “Ukraine” and waits , that the wind will change.
It will be recalled that earlier the leader of Scorpions told how Ukrainians supported him after his mother’s funeral.
