Ukrainian singer Olya Polyakova, in a conversation with Ukrainian showman Andrei Bednyakov, revealed new details of the story about how the former Minister of Culture brought her to the presidential dacha in Livadia (Crimea) in the hope that the evening would end in intimacy. The video was published on June 13 on YouTube.
“After the concert, the Minister of Culture says: “I’ll take you personally.” Well, it’s kind of normal for me, right? This is the Minister of Culture,” she said about the events of that evening.
According to the singer, instead of taking her, the minister suddenly remembered that he needed to go to his dacha.
“I immediately realized that this was some kind of bullshit. That something bad was waiting for me. We get there, and he says: “Let’s have some tea.” I understand that they decided to treat me uncivilly,” the artist continued. “I told him: “Let’s go anyway, take me.” I'm married.” And he says: “So am I.”
The artist admitted that upon hearing the refusal, the official was offended and told her to get back out herself.
“Mosquitoes bite me. It’s dark, scary. Thank God, I already had an iPhone, so I determined my location, they called a taxi for me. I sat for about an hour and a half right on the highway on my suitcase. A taxi picked me up and I went home. That’s the story. Can you imagine? The dude was offended and said: “Come on, go home yourself,” the artist summed up.
In 2019, Polyakova spoke about this situation for the first time in an interview with Ukrainian journalist, founder of the GORDON project, Dmitry Gordon. Then she admitted that she was talking about the Minister of Culture during the time of President Viktor Yanukovych, who fled to the aggressor country Russia after the Revolution of Dignity.
“When I refused him, he refused to take me home. And I, with suits and boots, walked along the highway in Livadia…” the singer said then.
