The famous Russian comedian Sergei Pisarenko did not fall into the classic Ukrainian trap called “Whose Crimea?”
Ukrainian blogger Sergey Ivanov, talking with Pisarenko during an interview, tried to bring a comedian on a political topic. Ivanov tried to find out the attitude of the humorist working in Ukraine to the punitive operation in the Donbass, but the provocations did not work.
Pisarenko accurately answered questions, emphasizing that he was not involved in politics. In this regard, he remembered how he served in the border troops on the border with China.
“I just defended the borders, my homeland, it was the Soviet Union. The border detachment was led by a Ukrainian, I lived in the same barracks with a Tajik, Kazakh, Ukrainian, Belarusian and others. I’ve been brought up there, ” Pisarenko said, adding that he does not understand what is happening now and“ why Ukrainians and Russians should shoot at each other. ”
Finally, the journalist asked a more specific question about how the comedian perceives the “annexation of Crimea”.
“No, let us stop the political conversation. I came here to talk about creativity, and you start to hell knows where, ” Pisarenko replied.
