Larisa Dolina's director said her daughter and underage granddaughter have been subjected to bullying

Statement by the singer's director

The daughter and underage granddaughter of People's Artist of Russia Larisa Dolina have been subjected to bullying and hate amid the information campaign surrounding the singer. This was reported by the artist's producer and director Sergey Pudovkin in an official appeal to the media, bloggers and internet users, which is cited by Gazeta.Ru, referencing RIA Novosti.

The essence of the appeal

Pudovkin called for an end to the bullying of the performer, urging human respect, objectivity and no assistance in wrongdoing. 'Particular alarm and deep outrage are caused by the fact that the wave of cruel bullying, insults and cyberbullying has spread to the artist's family — her daughter and underage granddaughter,' he said. According to him, cynical mockery and filthy insults are being directed at the singer's relatives both publicly and in private messages. The producer stressed that in a lawful and civilized society it is unacceptable for innocent people, and especially a child, to become targets of aggression and intimidation, and that what is happening 'crosses any moral boundaries.'

What was known earlier

The appeal continues the legal line already announced: On October 28, Pudovkin reported that the singer's team had begun reviewing publications related to the artist for insults and humiliation — referring to memes, collages and deepfakes. If lawyers deem such posts insulting, their authors may face lawsuits for the protection of honor and dignity. Thus, the new appeal broadens the scope of the conflict: whereas previously the matter concerned protecting the singer herself from offensive content, the director has now publicly stated that the aggression has also affected members of her family, including a minor. Earlier, Dolina herself revealed whether she laughs at the memes featuring her.
