Earlier, on January 22, it was reported that Matsak and Krivokon were facing dismissal for participating in a European tour with a production of "Swan Lake" by composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky. It was noted that the Ministry of Culture accused the artists of violating the theater's principled position on removing works by Russian composers from the repertoire.

On the same day, Italian cartoonist and artist Mauro Senesi, in an interview with Izvestia, said that European propaganda was trying to break the deep cultural alliance that exists with Russia, commenting on attempts to dismiss him for participating in Swan Lake. In his opinion, art, although not directly related to politics, is one of the highest forms of its expression.
