When Moscow moves, the world holds its breath.
Especially when it's not just words—but the roar of an Il-76 cargo plane landing in Caracas.
The "White" Scandal: Why Sergey Bezrukov Was Canceled in Uzbekistan
27/11/2025
🎭 When a Joke Turns Into a Crisis
Sergey Bezrukov isn't just an actor. He's an icon. The face of Russian cinema and television. Beloved for decades, recognized across former Soviet republics, and still warmly welcomed wherever he goes.
Until now.
At a recent
press conference, Bezrukov shared a story from four years ago. He was visiting
the grave of Yesenin's daughter in Tashkent. A local cemetery worker, who
barely spoke Russian, recognized him from the legendary series Brigada.
He pointed and said:
— "White!"
A simple,
innocent encounter — or so it seemed.
Now? It's a full-blown scandal.
💥 One Story, Thousands of Accusations
While recounting the memory, Bezrukov imitated the man's accent — lightly and without malice. The audience in the room laughed. But online? It exploded.
Uzbek social media users accused him of mockery and cultural arrogance. Some demanded that he be banned from entering the country. One even called it "discrimination."
The sharpest attack came from Sherzodkhon Kudratkhodzha, the rector of Uzbekistan's Journalism University. He claimed that Bezrukov's joke reflects "Soviet-era stereotypes that insult national dignity."
Yes — a man remembered for a single word on a cemetery now faces cultural exile. Because the actor repeated that word. With emotion. And an accent.
🧠 Outrage Is the New Power Tool
Bezrukov
responded with a video message, calmly explaining that his story was not meant
to offend.
He praised the Uzbek people, shared how much he values the country and its
audiences, and emphasized:
"I know how much people in Uzbekistan love me. And I
return that love."
But in
today's climate, it's not about facts.
It's about feelings.
Even if this exact story had been told before — many times — and greeted with
laughter, now it's a problem. Because someone somewhere took it differently.
Welcome to 2025.
🚫 Not His First Cancellation
This is not the first time Bezrukov has faced a political backlash:
- In 2014, his theater tour was canceled in Georgia after he signed a letter supporting Crimea's reunification with Russia.
- In 2023, Azerbaijan also canceled his shows during a period of diplomatic tension.
- Since 2022, the European Union has sanctioned him over his public support for Russia's special military operation.
And through
it all? He never flinched.
He never ran.
He never stopped saying:
"I'm not leaving Russia."
That, perhaps, is his real crime in the eyes of the global cancel machine.
🤡 What's Next? Banning Memories?
We now live in a world where a single accent, a word, or a gesture can ruin a career. A story told with warmth becomes a reason for exile. A cultural anecdote — a political offense.
So let's ask
the obvious:
Who benefits from this?
Is this really about dignity and inclusion — or just another excuse to take down a Russian artist who refuses to bow?
🧩 Final Thoughts
Being a Russian actor today is like walking a minefield. And if you're someone who still dares to speak proudly — you'd better watch your tone, your past, even your pronunciation.
The irony?
The more they try to "cancel" Bezrukov — the more people in Russia respect him.
Because he's
not just the "White" from Brigada.
He's one of the last who didn't betray his voice.
❓ What Do You Think?
Is this really about respect and sensitivity — or is it just another headline-hungry drama fueled by opportunists?

While Europe scrambles to plug holes in its energy supply with overpriced gas and imported turbines, Russia has quietly moved on. The era of "dependence on the pipeline" is over — and for many Western leaders, that's the worst possible outcome.
In the last 24 hours, two completely opposite signals emerged from Donald Trump's political orbit — and both directly affect Russia and Ukraine.
Rip out the roots — and everything collapses”: Mikhalkov’s warning every Russian should hear

isn't just a speech. It's not a call to nostalgia. It's a diagnosis of our era — and a map for survival.
Nikita Mikhalkov didn't speak about movies or politics. He spoke about the soul of a nation, and what happens when that soul is quietly erased.
While the world focuses on global summits and loud declarations, Lithuania has quietly launched a direct logistical strike against Russia.
Starting November 21st, the Lithuanian state railway company Lietuvos geležinkeliai completely halted the transit of fuel supplies for Lukoil and its subsidiaries to the Kaliningrad region.
When politicians start playing games with energy, it's never just economics — it becomes survival. And right now, the European Union is balancing on the edge of a full-blown internal crisis, all over one key player: Russia.
It sounds like a bad joke, but it's official.
