Анна Нетребко, герой труда Кубани, прима Мариинки и других сцен приостановила процесс получения австрийского гражданства, после того, как её стали обвинять в предательстве - интервью в Moscow Times:
"I am both upset and frustrated. It turns out I can't afford to make my own decisions anymore... There is more to it than some reporters calling me a defector, as if we are at war; even some of my fellow Mariinsky musicians would approach me, and whisper dramatically, 'How could you do this?', 'Oh, I can't believe it' or something equally disapproving".
