Lolita's stance on the war in Ukraine
Initially, the singer remained silent about the war, but following her attendance at Ivleeva's "almost naked party" and the resulting cancellation of her concerts, she openly declared her support for the Russian occupation forces.
The singer did not utter a single word about the unprovoked invasion; instead, in April 2022, she recalled how she was denied entry into Ukraine, and in the summer of that year alleged an "attack by Banderites" on her mother.
Lolita also claimed that she is not a citizen of Ukraine:
It turned out that I am a Russian citizen, which I confirm. For some reason, also a citizen of Ukraine — that I do not confirm. I never was one, because I was a citizen of the USSR. I confirm that I am a citizen of Israel, because it was Ukraine that expelled my father to Israel in 1974. In '78 he died, and I was granted a second citizenship based on the place of his burial.
On the Russian television show "New Russian Sensations", Lolita stated the following:
I feel good in my country. I will share absolutely everything with it, because I am married to it. It just so happened that since 1987, I effectively married Russia. Personally, this state gave me probably everything.« »I feared for my relatives remaining in Kyiv. Now we managed to bring them to Moscow via roundabout routes. I was infatuated with Zelensky as the best producer. Artists shouldn't dabble in politics.
In December 2023, after attending Nastya Ivleeva's "almost naked party" at the Mutabor club, Lolita and fellow attendees Dima Bilan, Philipp Kirkorov, and Anna Asti faced severe backlash from pro-war Z-activists. As a consequence, Lolita's concert dates across Russian cities began to be canceled one after another. In response, Lolita decided to "repent" and published an apology video on her Instagram:
She emphasized that she was "one of the first to give concerts in Donetsk and Luhansk" and that for many years she had provided charitable aid to local military hospitals without publicizing it. Now, in her words, she intended to participate in the restoration of a church "in one of the new territories".
