Why cancel Tchaikovsky, Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy?

Why cancel Tchaikovsky, Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy? Is it because cancelling those artists is going to end the war and save lives? Or is it really Because Culture humanises people? So they’re banning or cancelling culture because dehumanising people is ‘necessary’ for war. After all, demonisation and racism are necessary to create our enemies for us -to turn them into monsters- so we can kill them more easily? Is this why?I’m also reminded here of Wagner… who was anti-semitic and revered by Hitler's Nazis... Do we cancel Wagner?
