I russi Little Big prendono posizione contro la guerra in Ucraina con un videoclip al loro solito provocatorio, dove la loro cifra segnata dal grottesco, dall’esagerazione e dal nonsense viene rivisitata in chiave strettamente politica e attuale. In una serie di quadri, Iliya Prusikin e la sodale Alina Pasok mettono alla berlina il mondo della comunicazione, le elite finanziarie e i dirigenti politici; gli accostamenti sono già visti e un po’ didascalici, ma giustificati dall’evidente urgenza comunicativa. Con Generation Cancellation, Iliya Prusikin e Sonya Tayurskaya (i due membri “superstiti” della band) usano il pop punk per rappresentare il drammatico sentire apocalittico di questi mesi, senza rinunciare a un finale spiazzante e gustosamente assurdo che li riporta al punto di partenza, come improbabili Adamo ed Eva.
