isn’t it weird how like

famous artist: (does something the government doesn’t like)

government that censors artists: noooo don’t do that. you’re evil and the entire world will hate you forever

artist: (dies)

new government that also censors artists: rip to that artist 😔😔😔 they were so special and ahead of their time and stood up against oppression 😔😔😔 but now they’re a national icon and we all love them 😔😔😔 btw if any of you do what they did you’re an enemy of the state teehee

#I was thinking of shostakovich but this also applies to a lot of other ppl #including some political activists #anyway shostakovich set a tsvetaeva poem to music about the death of pushkin #that was basically this #and the same thing happened to him
