Metallica, Beyonsea and Valery Leontiev: The Russian Federation has expanded the list of "forbidden" artists
Ivan Urgant, Max Korzh, Natalia Podolskaya, Guf, Jigan and others appeared in the stop leaf. At least six stars were expelled from the list. The list of "forbidden" artists was sent to employees of advertising agencies, journalists say. The first such lists began to appear before the full -scale war. They were usually included in Putin's open opponents and opposition protests, after which such artists often canceled and disrupted concerts.
After a full -scale invasion of Ukraine, lists began to be expanded, mainly at the expense of those who opposed military aggression. Journalists say that the new version of the list is addressed to employees of advertising and event agencies. An employee of one of them reported that the tracks of all "forbidden" performers cannot be used in advertising campaigns, and the stars themselves in the promotion of Russian brands.
Another source added that the ban is formally advisory, but in fact "everyone understands that using these people is not an option. " Most of those who entered the new stop list are Russian artists, or those who perform in Russian, but there are western stars: Beyonse, Lana Del Ray, Metallica and Florence and the Machine, Hozier and Iamx. As one of the sources explains, their tracks were forbidden to use at public events.
The interlocutor did not specify whether the ban on the exclusion of these stars from the repertoires of the covers. Also, the Stop List, as it is called, got scriptonite, Anna Sedova, Valery Leontiev and new stars like Green Apelsin and Elena Shvets. The rows of forbidden were also filled with comedians who left the Russian Federation - Arthur Chaparian, Vanya Usovich, Irina Prikhodko and others.
Some stars are banned-Anya Pokrov, Flaffyx, Vlad Hoshin-and performers who were silent about the war-Tima Belarus and Instasamka. But at the same time, those who were quite loyal to the Putin authorities and the Kremlin's policies were included in the list. Among them, for example, Jigan who ridiculed the Russians fleeing from mobilization and Dino MC47, which since 2014 has supported the war in Ukraine.
At the same time, Misha Marvin was expelled from the stop list, who condemned the war and left the Russian Federation. Egor Kryda and Sergei Lazarev also "pardoned". It is noted that they are now included in the list even for friendship with anti -war artists. Even if the performer does not make political statements, but is friends with those who have decided on the position - he is on the list.
