Which Ukrainian artists may be deprived of state awards for supporting Russia. The list

The day before, the Verkhovna Rada adopted as a basis bill No. 11410, which provides for the deprivation of state awards to traitors who supported Russia in the war. According to a court verdict or a decision of the National Security and Defense Council, Putinist stars will be deprived of the title of People's and Honored Artists.

The draft law will also affect those convicted of grave or especially grave crimes or crimes against the foundations of Ukraine's national security, peace, human security and international law and order. OBOZ.UA has compiled a list of traitors who, despite their origins, have become a mouthpiece for propaganda.

Ani Lorak - People's Artist of Ukraine

The singer, originally from the Chernivtsi region, continues to actively build her career in Russia. In 2022, she did not condemn the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, and in October of the same year, she was included in the NSDC sanctions lists. According to propaganda media, in March 2024, Lorak applied for Russian citizenship.

Taisiya Povaliy - People's Artist of Ukraine

A native of Kyiv, Taisiya Povaliy considers the genocide of Ukrainians and the war to be "the salvation of people like her". The singer with a red passport supports the so-called "Svoboda" and says in an interview with Russian media that she was "destroyed" in her homeland. In 2024, the SBU notified Povalya in absentia of suspicions of calling for aggressive hostilities, justifying armed aggression, and collaborating with Russia.

Lyubov Titarenko - Honored Artist of Ukraine

The Putinist actress, who founded the Bravo Drama Theater in Kyiv, is actively involved in anti-Ukrainian propaganda and denies Russian aggression against Ukraine.

Rubleva Ruzhena - Honored and People's Artist of Ukraine

In 2022, singer-vocalist from the Kherson region Rubleva Ruzhena took part in a concert rally in Moscow that glorified the annexation of Ukrainian territories. In the spring of 2024, the Rivne City Court sentenced the collaborator to 10 years in prison.

"Rabbits" Volodymyr Moiseenko and Volodymyr Danylets are People's Artists of Ukraine

The comedy duo "Rabbits" Volodymyr Moiseenko and Volodymyr Danilets still have the title of People's Artists, despite ignoring the war and continuing their careers on television in Russia. In 2022, the comedians complained that they were being "harassed" in Ukraine, and that Molotov cocktails were brought to their concerts. They were included in the Myrotvorets database for supporting the annexation of Crimea.

Natalia Leleko - People's Artist of Ukraine

Since 2017, the singer from Kherson has supported festivals funded by the Russian World Foundation that took place in the occupied Crimea. In 2023, Leleko reportedly participated in events organized by the occupation authorities in the Kherson region.

Yevhen Gamayunov - Honored Artist of Ukraine

Actor Yevhen Hamayunov played at the Kherson Theater until he was fired in 2022 because he collaborated with the occupation authorities.

It is worth noting that not only Ukrainians have state awards. Russian stars also have titles, including:

• Igor Krutoy - People's Artist of Ukraine.

• Alexander Malinin - People's Artist of Ukraine.
• Ilya Reznik - People's Artist of Ukraine.
• Vladimir Bortko - People's Artist of Ukraine.
