Yevgeny Aronovich Dolmatovsky (1915-1994) was a Soviet poet. His granddaughter, costume designer Tatyana Dolmatovskaya, said in her social networks that she "gladly denied" the right to residents of the Russian Federation to publicly perform the song "The Road to Berlin".
The lyrics to this song were also written by Dolmatovich. The granddaughter of this poet, TatyANA Dolmatova, said she did not feel surprised when she heard the news.
