Sochi hosted a grand opening ceremony for the XXII Winter Olympic Games. The event was attended not only by athletes and politicians, but also by many stars. Unfortunately, there were some scandalous incidents. So, the famous rock singer Zemfira almost immediately after the ceremony expressed dissatisfaction with the use of her song at the celebration.

Remix of Zemfira's hit "Do you want?" sounded during the parade of athletes at the opening ceremony. As it turned out, the artist herself did not give her permission to use the song.

“Channel One ignored all possible agreements and used my track without consent. This is a direct violation of copyright, this is lawlessness. What is this th … o? Do you do whatever you want? - said on the official website of the singer.

At the same time, Zemfira stressed that the opening of the Olympic Games was "excellent" and congratulated the head of the First Channel, Konstantin Ernst, who acted as the scriptwriter and general producer of the ceremony. “The opening is great! Kostya, congratulations! " - wrote the artist.

It is worth noting that the ceremony made an impression not only on the singer. “There are a couple of scenes that Meyerhold seemed to be staging,” said Maria Komandnaya, a journalist from the Dozhd TV channel.

Unfortunately, the incident with Zemfira is not the only one that spoiled Ernst's mood. So, during a light show of an impressive size, the snowflakes hanging over the Fisht stadium were supposed to open into five Olympic rings. However, only four were revealed.

“The Zenbudhists have a thought: if the ball is perfectly polished, leave a notch on it to see how perfectly polished it is. Rings are not the easiest technical thing to do. In terms of mechanics, we were the first to do this. Everything else went well, and the rings are the very notch,”Ernst remarked, adding that the viewers did not see the mistake. - When we, before everyone else, in a couple of seconds, realized that the ring would not open, we decided that we were taking shots from the rehearsal. This was the only piece we used. We are not making a secret, there is nothing dramatic here. This is an annoying oversight, but it does not humiliate either the Olympic movement or us."
