Sochi authorities did not like Yu. Vizbor

In the summer of 2004 in Sochi, the city and regional authorities tried to ban the performance of Yury Vizbor's song at the opening of a media forum in the city because they did not like the author's surname. ( "Vizbory, Shmizbory, Rabinovichi there are all sorts of" .)

This was reported by one of the organizers of the contest to a correspondent of Rossiyskaya Gazeta on July 26, 2004.
