- The AfD parliamentary group retains Moosdorf as foreign-policy spokesman despite his allegedly non-political musical work.
- According to an official database, the Brücke der Künste foundation received more than 600,000 euros for two festivals.
- The money came from Putin’s Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives, which concert materials explicitly listed as a sponsor.
- Moosdorf did not answer a current inquiry about fees; previously, he called the September concert fee internationally customary.
The first ovations are for our defenders, our heroes, who are now in this hall and on the front line.— General Director of the Fund, quoted by Backstage Classical during the Petrowski Ball of the Bridge of the Arts in St. Petersburg
