If you have an interest in it, you can download it and read it for yourself, instead of expecting a lecturer to feed you bits and explain it to you. Lastly, Dostoevsky’s oeuvre is public domain. The lecturer raised a stink on social media by attributing other motives to the University, and, in the current climate, found a lot of underemployed keyboard warriors only to willing to support him. For some people it may be cognitively unpleasant to acknowledge the University’s statement, but this makes it not less true. This was the official statement of the University. Soavemusica’s post implied that Dostoevsky was “cancelled” in retaliation, or because some unspecified woke politics (the last being perfectly daft, as James Weiss has already pointed out.) My point was that the _lecture_ on Dostoevsky (not to be confused with Dostoevsky himself, or his oeuvre) was cancelled/postponed because the University feared polemics/demonstrations unrelated to Dostoevsky work, not because they had anything against Dostoevsky. To all the people who have replied to my comment. Dostoyevsky is essentially a St Petersburg author and his works as such are complex enough that you can build an entire career on them.
The first mail to the Nori didn’t say anything of sorts.Īnd even if the “explanation” offered by prorector Casiraghi – in an interview, but not in the mail to Paolo Nori, is true – which I doubt, because the reasons given to Nori were different – it is hardly better.
The prorector Casiraghi then said, “no, we wanted to restructure the course about Dostoyevsky and throw in some Ukrainian authors”. The university retracted only after Paolo Nori made this public and minister Messa intervened. This IS a de facto cancellation, even if some people don’t – WANT TO – see it as such because it is shrouded in diplomatic expressions. Yes, “postponing” Dostoyevsky because he could generate “polemics” “in this moment of strong tension”. Lo scopo è evitare qualsiasi forma di polemica, soprattutto interna, in questo momento di forte tensione».” ““Caro professore, il prorettore alla didattica ha comunicato la decisione presa con la rettrice (Giovanna Iannantuoni, ndr) di rimandare il percorso su Dostoevskij. The world needs to see glimpses of Russia’s innate humanity, especially in these terrible times. Russian musicians, Russian artists, must be welcome the world over.
Sokhiev today resigned from both hiss posts, in Moscow and in France. Apart from two or three elderly soloists with not much career left in the west, that would implicate the chief conductor of the Bolshoi, Tugan Sokhiev, and the Russian-based Greek conductor Teodor Currentzis whose Musica Aeterna ensemble is funded by the VTB Bank, which is now on the US and EU sanctions list. Second, any boycott should be targeted strictly at those who benefit personally and financially from Putin’s regime, or who have shown outspoken support for his aggression in Ukraine. That is a Stalinist tactic, and it must stop. In the first place, it is ethically wrong for organisations to demand that performers issue a loyalty/disloyalty statement towards Putin. These are dangerous and unpredictable waters. This is way out of line and directly in contrast to the Van Cliburn Competition which is specifically welcoming Russians. we will be refunding your application fees.’ ‘In unity with arts organisations across the world at this difficult time we regret to inform you that the DIPC will be unable to include competitors from Russia in the 2022 Competition…. The 2022 Dublin International Piano Competition has told ten Russian contenders they are not welcome.
Malofeev had previously posted: ‘The truth is that every Russian will feel guilty for decades because of the terrible and bloody decision that none of us could influence and predict.’

The question is how other Russians are being treated in this crisis, and that is an area where every music organisation must treat with care.Īn orchestra in Maryland cancelled the Russian violinist Vadim Repin,’out of respect to Repin’s apolitical stance and concerns for the safety of himself and his family.’ Apparently, threats had been received.Ī recital series in Vancouver dropped an August concert by the young Russian pianist Alexander Malofeev because it could not in good conscience present a concert by any Russian artist at this moment in time unless they are prepared to speak out publicly against this war.’ Gergiev has been remote, reckless and casual in recent years with his obligations, while Netrebko is no more popular among her western stage partners than any other vaunted diva.īoth will leave a cavity at the box-office, but not a major hole. Apart from some hand wringing by their agents and a few commercial associates, the absence of Valery Gergiev and Anna Netrebko is not causing great heartache among western musicians.
