Speaking at the 2022 Valdai Club Conference, [[Russian Federation]] [[President Vladimir Putin]] said of cancel culture:

:"The rulers of the West, believing themselves infallible, desire to destroy or cancel those they dislike. While [[Nazi]]s burn books, the Western guardians of [[liberalism]] and [[progressive|progress]] now ban [[Dostoyevsky]] and [[Tchaikovsky]]. [[Liberal democracy]] has transformed into something unrecognizable, declaring any alternative viewpoint as [[propaganda]], or a threat. The so-called 'cancel culture' destroys anything that is alive and creative, preventing any freedom of thought in culture, economics, or politics alike.

:History of course will put everything in its place. The self-conceit of those who seek to cancel is off the charts. But no one will even remember their names in a few years, while Dostoyevsky and Tchaikovsky and [[Pushkin]] will endure."
