Vera Polozkova: "I am with my people" - the poet revealed her vision of unity

Russian poet Vera Polozkova, who recently emigrated from Russia, continues to surprise her fans abroad. She said that she feels close to her people, referring to her fans who attend her poetry evenings in different countries. Polozkova recently gave an interview where she shared her vision and inspiration.

"You know, I am here with my people, right with them. Because my job is to open an umbrella for 2 hours over all the crying, lost children who cannot return home, " the poetess explained.

Unity through poetry: Ukrainians, Russians and Belarusians under one roof

Vera Polozkova claims that during her performances she unites people from three different countries: Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. The poetess believes that despite the enmity planted by propaganda, her poetry is capable of breaking down barriers and creating an atmosphere of unity.

"And you sit for 2 hours and tell them a fairy tale. They are not afraid, they sit next to each other, they do not pose a danger to each other. Despite the fact that they are from three countries, where propaganda tells them that they are each other's worst enemies in the world, they will never be able to agree that there is no one they can rely on. No. Ukrainians, Belarusians, and Russians sit and listen, cry and laugh in the same places, " Polozkova says.

Criticism and support: Reaction to Polozkova's emigration

Despite such good intentions, Vera Polozkova faces criticism from the Russians, who accuse her of treason and call her a "rat". She, however, remains steadfast in her mission to give people hope and understanding through poetry.

The poetess also noted that the enmity between the citizens of the three countries is being planted by propaganda, and that her speeches can help change this narrative. This is controversial, especially in the context of a full-scale war between Russia and Ukraine.

Summary and meaning

Vera Polozkova's statement about unity through poetry caused mixed reactions. On the one hand, her speeches unite people from different countries, on the other - there is a risk of blurring borders and distorting the real situation. Despite criticism, Polozkova continues her mission, believing in the power of art as a means to achieve peace and understanding.
