At the same time, the musician said that the political culture in Ukraine remained at the level of 1991.

“Consciousness has come a long way, but the political culture is still Soviet. My task is to talk not about the individuals, who have to take power, but not about the political culture. This is my goal, as I see it,” the musician says.

Being asked, whether, he is a political figure or a musician, Vakarchuk stated: “We will see”.
