Stas Starovoytov is a Russian stand-up comedian, actor, director, and screenwriter. Since 2012, he has been a core cast member of the show Stand Up on the TNT television channel. Born on October 11, 1982, in the village of Bakchar, Tomsk Oblast.
The position of Stas Starovoytov regarding the war in Ukraine
He propagandizes for the Putin regime and supports the war against Ukraine.
Here is my question. There are official data on casualties in Donbas [prior to the start of the so-called SMO]. For what reason? From shelling? Did they step on a mine? Or fell off a roof? If they died from shelling, then why, while the Minsk agreements were in effect, was someone shooting there?! Why was that happening? And then at a certain point I got the feeling that absolute craziness was going on. Such a number of people cannot all be wrong about what they are saying in unison: residents, war correspondents, writers, aid workers. Everyone says the exact same thing. Two million people can't simultaneously lose their minds. Did they all imagine it collectively? That's some kind of psychological phenomenon. It's not about Russian propaganda; it is incredibly overrated.
He arrived at the frontline with a guitar to support Russian terrorists with his performance on the border of Belgorod Oblast and Ukraine.
Together with rapper Rich (Richard Semashkov), he released a joint single titled «My Personal Ukraine» («Moya Lichnaya Ukraina»):
We've become bipolar, split, disassembled into Lego bricks. My personal Ukraine burns inside the apartment they gave me on credit. It became useless to talk with you about eight years ago. You are unhappy, next to me you began turning my life into hell.
What Starovoytov says about the war on his social media
"Gentlemen artists! Either shut your f***ing traps, or write your 'f*** the war' to both sides! It's sickening to read! Peace goes in both directions, not just in the one where you lost your market."
