FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Mr Nikitin claimed the tattoos were done between 1989 and 1991 and he chose
the designs from books about Nordic mythology kept at the tattoo parlour. “The
symbols have absolutely no political significance for me, but a spiritual
one. I was never a member of a political party and am still not today,”
he said.
The festival’s organisers in Bayreuth, in northern Bavaria, said Mr Nikitin’s
decision to withdraw was “in line with the festival leadership’s
consistent rejection of any form of Nazi ideas” and had been made after
they acquainted him with the “the connotations of these symbols in
connection with German history.”
Mr Nikitin grew up in Murmansk, Russia’s largest Arctic port, and studied at
the State Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatoire in St Petersburg.
He was invited to sing at the city’s legendary Mariinsky Theatre while still a
student. Wagnerian roles occupy a special position in his repertoire. He has
sung on numerous occasions in Germany and his performance at Bayreuth was
highly anticipated.
It appears that Mr Nikitin’s tattoos only became known to the festival’s
organisers after they were discussed in German media.
The singer has not sought to hide them in the past, playing the drums
bare-chested during a recent Russian TV programme about his parallel
interests in “opera and metal”.
The Bayreuth Festival was conceived by Wagner himself in order to showcase his
work and first opened in 1876. Hitler was an admirer of the composer’s work
and attended the festival on several occasions.
