Israel hears this voice: Slepakov and Galkin on the cold of Kyiv and the responsibility of Russians

Semyon Slepakov, a well-known Russian comedian recognized by the authorities as a foreign agent, publicly responded to Maxim Galkin‘s post about the situation in Ukraine. On Instagram, he reposted his colleague’s words, focusing not on political formulations but on human responsibility for what is happening.

The discussion was not about geopolitics or studio debates. Slepakov showed the consequences of strikes on civilian infrastructure — cold entrances in Kyiv, darkness, frozen homes. He directly stated that he was tired of propagandistic justifications, where strikes on peaceful neighborhoods are masked with words like “impact on infrastructure” or “freezing out.”

According to him, behind the impersonal language are very specific actions and very specific people making decisions. Slepakov appealed to the conscience of Russians, reminding them of the evangelical formula about personal responsibility: everyone is rewarded according to their deeds, not according to television theses.

Earlier, Maxim Galkin spoke in detail about the humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine, emphasizing that outside the country, the scale of the tragedy is often underestimated. According to him, for millions of people, this is not an abstract war but everyday survival without light, water, and heat, especially in the winter months.

Galkin openly opposed Russia’s invasion and left the country as early as March 2022. In the fall of the same year, he was included in the list of “foreign agents.” This status did not become a reason for him to remain silent — on the contrary, his public statements acquired an even harsher and more direct tone.

The story of Slepakov and Galkin shows the moral and human impasse faced by artists who decided not to conform to the official line. Their words sound not like a political statement but as a reminder of personal choice — to remain silent or to call things by their names, to justify or to acknowledge the obvious.

It is precisely such voices today that capture not slogans but the reality of war and the cost of indifference, as consistently reported by NAnews — News of Israel | Nikk.Agency, linking the events in Ukraine with moral and human consequences far beyond the front line.
