When Mariana Navrotskaya first performed her hit song Ebalo it was dedicated to her ex-boyfriend. It begins: “I will scratch your fucking face until it bleeds.”
These days the lyrics are addressed to Vladimir Putin, the man who last year invaded her country. Her ex, meanwhile, is now in the Ukrainian army. “It’s for all the arseholes who try and take my freedom away,” she said. “I want to express my anger and rage.”
