Russian TV presenter, Deputy General Director of the Gazprom-Media holding Tina Kandelaki has been placed under EU sanctions, Orda.kz reports.
Singer Larisa Dolina has also been included in the sanctions list.
As Kommersant writes, Kandelaki and Dolina are among 16 Russians now subject to personal sanctions by the European Union. The restrictions were introduced as part of the 15th sanctions package approved today.
The sanctions include a complete ban on entry into and travel within the EU, freezing accounts in European banks, and ceasing financial relations.
Tina Kandelaki has indeed become infamous.
In January 2024, she made a provocative post in which she compared Kazakhstanis to mankurts, which is a derogatory term referencing unthinking slaves in Chinghiz Aitmatov's novel "The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years."
The reason was the renaming of several railway stations in Kazakhstan.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs pledged that the journalist would be banned from entering Kazakhstan, and cosmetics from her Ansaligy brand disappeared from Kazakhstani stores.
Kandelaki did not limit herself to Kazakhstan, however.
Just a few months later, she found new "Russophobes" in Central Asia, this time in Kyrgyzstan.
The reason was the demolition of the Panfilov Division Museum in Bishkek. The Kyrgyz authorities immediately responded to Kandelaki's statement, calling her words unacceptable.
