The general producer of the YUNA award Pavel Shilko commented on the presence of Ivan Dorn and Svetlana Loboda in the nominations.

As you know, Dorn and Loboda openly tour with concerts across Russia. However, Shilko noted that in Ukraine there is no regulation that prohibits these artists, and he does not have the right to remove someone from the nominations.

This Shilko said during the live broadcast of TSNLive from the red carpet of the YUNA-2018 award in a comment to TSN journalists. ua "And somewhere there is some kind of resolution? Someone is indignant, someone likes their music. They listen, twist. Professionals voted for them. I have no right, like the organizing committee, to remove them. If there was somewhere in the state issued a note of protest, that they are officially banned, then this is another matter. And some people think so, others do not. For me, music is music, it has no boundaries, "said Shilko.

Note that Dorn was presented in the categories "Best Performer" and "Best Video". Loboda - "Best Duet", "Best Performer" and "Best Album". With a list of winners of the YUNA-2018 Prize, you can read the link.

Recall that in 2016, the magazine Viva removed from the nominees for the award "Viva! The Most Beautiful" singer Ani Lorak. Then the management of the magazine explained this decision by the fact that they respect the public opinion.

"Respecting the public thought and feelings of a sufficiently large audience that does not support the participation of Ani Lorak in the nomination, the editorial board decided to exclude the singer from the nominees" Viva! The most beautiful 2016 ", - was said in the statement of the edition.
