Ukrainian Activists Protest Russian Pianist In New York

Pro-Ukrainian activists staged a protest outside New York's Carnegie Hall on June 15 during the performance of Russian pianist Denis Matsuev. The musician was among some 500 Russian celebrities who signed an open letter in March supporting President Vladimir Putin's annexation of Crimea. Some Russian members of the audience showed their disapproval of the rally and cursed at the protesters. (Olga Loginova, RFE/RL's Russian Service)
