Singer Nastya Kamenskykh stated that due to the Ukrainian language, she lost her voice and developed a cyst
Ukrainian singer Nastya Kamenskykh, who has been abroad for a long time with her husband Potap (Oleksiy Potapenko), explained her return to the Russian language by citing health problems and a psychologist's advice. She shared this in an interview with Russian journalist Katerina Gordeeva, writes TSN publication.
According to Kamenskykh, after the start of the full-scale Russian invasion, she tried to speak and sing exclusively in Ukrainian for about half a year. However, afterwards, she suddenly lost her voice, and a cyst appeared on her vocal cords.
The singer consulted a psychologist who, according to her, advised her to return to the Russian language. The psychologist allegedly said: «Return to the Russian language; your body does not accept this.»
Kamenskykh stated that, in her opinion, this situation is not about who owns the language, but solely about psychosomatics. She said she believes in psychosomatics and thinks that everything that happens to a person originates in the mind.
After this, the singer returned to using the Russian language in daily communication and her creative work. She also stated that the language issue in Ukraine is now allegedly being artificially exacerbated and used for political purposes.
At the same time, Kamenskykh emphasized that she considers herself a patriot, but primarily of her family. She stated that her personal interests are more important to her than public ones.
The singer said she is confident that Ukraine should speak 100% Ukrainian. But for herself, she decided that she wants to choose which language to speak and sing in. According to her, after this, «everything changed» because she is living her own life.
Kamenskykh's statement provoked a storm of irony and outrage among Ukrainian social media users. Users ridiculed the logic of her «treatment» and suggested that Kamenskykh should consult not a psychologist, but a psychiatrist.
Her previous attempt to enter the Spanish music market became a separate topic for jokes. Users began to speculate about what «psychosomatic consequences» the Spanish language might have caused the singer.
Photo jokes also appeared on social media, including a parody of the title of Ilarion Pavlyuk's book «I See You're Interested in a Cyst».
Other users ironically pondered how different languages can affect a person. Some wrote that the Ukrainian language indeed turned out to be a powerful weapon, capable of exposing «hidden agents».
There were also calls to protect the country from such «expert» advice from psychologists and such «patriots». One joke claimed that from constant use of the Russian language, the singer might have developed nothing more than a «cyst in her head».
Users also predicted the future careers of Kamenskykh and Potap. Some sarcastically suggested that already next autumn they might go on tour to Russia, explaining it with discussions about «good people who didn't want the war» and «art outside of politics».
Others ironically suggested thanking Kamenskykh for her «incredible sacrifice» in the first months of the full-scale invasion. Allegedly, she then sang «I Am Ukraine» and «Chervona Kalyna» to raise morale, and in return «earned» a cyst.
On social media, it was also joked that the Ukrainian language has now allegedly become the main risk factor for various diseases. Meanwhile, the old meme about the «Russian-speaking jaw» gave way to jokes about new «diagnoses» after the singer's new statements.
Users also mocked the «healing properties» of the Russian language, ironically suggesting that the cyst likely just «resorbed itself» without surgical intervention after Kamenskykh abandoned the Ukrainian language.
