Valerij Gergiev
Valerij Gergiev is a prominent Russian conductor known for his dynamic performances and leadership of major orchestras, including the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg. He has gained international recognition but has also faced significant controversy due to his close ties with the Kremlin and support for President Vladimir Putin. Gergiev's political affiliations and lack of condemnation for the invasion of Ukraine have sparked intense debate about his participation in cultural events, notably prompting Julija Navalnaja, the widow of dissident Aleksej Navalny, to criticize his scheduled concert in Italy.
