Ex-VIA Gra member provokes new scandal

Former lead singer of "VIA Gra", Svetlana Loboda, is provoking another scandal. The furore surrounding the petition calling for Loboda to be stripped of her "People's Artist of Ukraine" title for performing on Russian territory has barely subsided, when the singer provided yet another reason to be talked about.

The artist has now taken up a position as an editor at one of the popular Russian media outlets, "Hello", where she has even been given her own column.

However, to be fair, it should be noted that Loboda is a guest editor. In other words, this is a temporary position. Nevertheless, the consequences of even temporary involvement are quite difficult to predict.
