Citat:Political views and friendship with Vladimir Putin
Seagal and Vladimir Putin, August 11, 2012
In a March 2014 interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Seagal described Vladimir Putin as "one of the great living world leaders", stated that he "would like to consider him as a brother," and expressed support for the annexation of Crimea by Russia.In July 2014, following calls for a boycott, Seagal was dropped from the lineup of the Augustibluus music festival in Haapsalu, Estonia. Estonian rock legend Tõnis Mägi, the minister of Foreign Affairs, Urmas Paet, and Parliament's Foreign Affairs chairman, Marko Mihkelson, had condemned inviting Seagal into the country, with Paet stating, "Steven Seagal has tried to actively participate in politics during the past few months and has done it in a way which is unacceptable to the majority of the world that respects democracy and the rule of law." In August 2014, Seagal appeared in Sevastopol, Crimea in a Night Wolves-organized show supporting the Crimean annexation and depicting Ukraine as a country controlled by fascists.
