‘We’re flying blind now’ Kremlin infighting and the war in Ukraine will determine if Putin cancels Russia’s elections in September, sources tell Meduza — Meduza

On May 17, lawmakers in the State Duma discussed the possibility of cancelling both gubernatorial and regional and municipal elections scheduled for September 11, 2022.

Essa é uma prática meio que “abusiva” ou seria “desleal” para com quem passou por tantas exigências para se tornar um artista completo.
Esse novo formato de fabricar artistas de forma instantânea, faz eclodir o ódio, por parte de quem batalhou muito para chegar ao auge da fama, e hoje, descobrir que tudo isso foi ignorado, que não precisa estudar, ou cumprir…
