Ukraine, Toscani: “Fashion shows in Milan and the dead are in Kiev”

It is better to live in a poorer country and without gas rather than in a rich country, but without a “civil conscience” in which fashion shows are organized in Milan, while those of the dead are set up in Kiev. Oliviero Toscani is a river in flood and, conversing with AdnKronos, bluntly affirms that “Putin is a danger, in the end the problem is always that of an individual”. The photographer, who will turn 80 on Monday, then screams forcefully, addressing Russia in some way: “They keep their gas, rather let them explode with their gas. I prefer to go on foot democratically than by car in dictatorship. the gas”. In short, Toscani reiterates, “I prefer to be without gas, in the cold, in a democracy than to have gas in a dictatorship. The big problem – he observes – is we who do not react. We are too well, we are too rich in this country, where any talent seems to have leprosy. Better a poor country, cold but democratic, than a rich one who makes fashion shows while the others die “. In this perspective, according to Toscani, when tomorrow this period is analyzed “they will see that on the one hand there is what is happening in Kiev and on the other hand, in Milan, they do fashion shows. There they do the parades of the dead and here they do the fashionable ones “. This is why, reflects Toscani, we need to “begin to have a civil conscience. But who is interested in war?”, The photographer who denounces himself asks in a provocative way: “There is a tremendous indifference, we are only interested in the level of social media, only from this point of view. Besides, the problem is that Ukraine produces wheat: leave it alone since it produces bread. They are stopping the production of bread for oil and gas and nobody says anything “, he concludes.
