J.K. Rowling Bites Back At Vladimir Putin’s Comments On Her Cancellation
27.03.2022 - 00:03 / deadline.com
J.K. Rowling answered Russian President Vladimir Putin Friday for his linking her cancellation for anti-transgender comments with Russia’s sanctions.
The Harry Potter series author used Twitter to tell Putin that his analysis wasn’t welcome.
“Critiques of Western cancel culture are possibly not best made by those currently slaughtering civilians for the crime of resistance, or who jail and poison their critics. #IStandWithUkraine,” Rowling tweeted Friday.
She included an article about jailed Putin critic Alexei Navalny.
“Today they are trying to cancel a whole thousand-year-old country, our people,” Putin said. “I am talking about the progressive discrimination of everything connected to Russia, a trend that is unfolding in a number of Western states and with the full connivance and sometimes the encouragement of the ruling elites. The notrious cancel culture has become a cancellation of culture.”
He then compared the treatment of Russian cultural figures with Rowling’s ostracizing for her perceived anti-transgender views.
“Not so long ago, they canceled a children’s writer, Joanne Rowling, because she, the author of books spread around the world, in hundreds of millions of copies, failed to please the supporters of the so called gender liberties,” Putin said.

Kremlin responds to Gérard Depardieu’s criticism of Vladimir Putin over Russia-Ukraine conflict
ordered a military operation on its neighbouring country in February.“The Russian people are not responsible for the crazy, unacceptable excesses of their leaders like Vladimir Putin,” Depardieu, who has previously praised the Russian leader, said in a statement to French news agency AFP (per France 24).“Russia and Ukraine have always been brother countries,” he continued. “Stop the weapons and negotiate.”On Friday (April 1), Dmitry Peskov, a spokesperson for Putin, responded to Depardieu’s comments, telling reporters that the actor probably did not completely understand the situation in Ukraine and offered to explain it.“Since the president is mentioned there, I will assume that Depardieu most likely does not fully understand what is happening,” Peskov said on Friday (via News Interfax).He continued: “Due to the fact that he is not completely immersed in the political agenda, he does not understand what happened in Ukraine in 1914, he does not understand what the Minsk agreements are, he does not understand what Donetsk and Lugansk are, he hardly understands what is the bombing of civilians, he is unlikely to know about nationalist elements.”“If necessary, we will be ready to tell him all this and explain it so that he understands better. If he wants,” Peskov concluded.Depardieu left France and took up Russian nationality in 2013 to protest a proposed tax hike on the rich in his homeland.
