Hillary Clinton, 74, and 12 others — including President Joe Biden, 74, and his son Hunter Biden, 52, as well as White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, 43 — were sanctioned by Russian President Vladamir Putin, 69. And although Hillary has been extremely displeased with Russia’s decision to invade Ukraine on Feb. 24, the former First Lady isn’t likely losing any sleep over Putin’s latest sanction — which bans them all from Russia and freezes any assets that they might have there.
Gergiev, Putin Friend, Out Of Vienna Philharmonic U.S. Tour
25.02.2022 - 19:27 / etcanada.com
Valery Gergiev, a conductor who is close to Russian President Vladimir Putin, will not lead the Vienna Philharmonic in a five-concert U.S. tour that starts at Carnegie Hall on Friday night.

Ron Boling, a spokesman for the orchestra, said the Philharmonic would not comment when asked whether the decision was made by the orchestra, Gergiev or Carnegie.
The move came after Milan’s famed Teatro alla Scala sent a letter to Gergiev asking him to make a clear statement in favor of a peaceful resolution in the Ukraine, or he would not be permitted to return to complete his engagement conducting Tchaikovsky’s “The Queen of Spades.”
Gergiev was lightly contested by the audience during a performance Wednesday night, but the situation changed dramatically with the Russian invasion overnight, theater spokesman Paolo Besana said. He is next scheduled to appear in Milan on March 5.
Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala, who is La Scala’s president, said the request was made because Gergiev had declared his closeness to Russian President Vladimir Putin on multiple occasions.

Anna Netrebko out of Met Opera over her support of Putin
NEW YORK -- Soprano Anna Netrebko withdrew from her future engagements at the Metropolitan Opera rather than repudiate her support for Russian President Vladimir Putin, costing the company one of its top singers and best box-office draws.“It is a great artistic loss for the Met and for opera,” Met General Manager Peter Gelb said in a statement Thursday. “Anna is one of the greatest singers in Met history, but with Putin killing innocent victims in Ukraine, there was no way forward.”Gelb had said Sunday that the Met would not engage artists who support Putin.The Met made repeated efforts in recent days attempting to convince Netrebko to repudiate Putin but failed to persuade her, a person familiar with the developments said, speaking on condition of anonymity because that detail was not announced.The Met’s decision followed the collapse of the international career of Russian conductor Valery Gergiev, who has been close to Putin as artistic and general director of the Mariinsky in St.

Does Russia's Vladimir Putin have a wife and kids? Everything you need to know
Vladimir Putin tends to keep his personal life away from the spotlight which means not much is known about him, aside from his political life.The 69 year old President of Russia was married to former flight attendant Lyudmila between 1983 and 2014, but they went their separate ways due to "barely seeing each other." She said: "Vladimir is completely submerged in his work. Our children have grown up, each of them is living her own life… And I truly don’t like publicity." The couple announced they were ending their marriage in June 2013, and the divorce was then finalised by the Kremlin in April 2014.
