Makarevich’s concert was canceled in St. Petersburg - due to the calls of the Patriots of Leningrad with threats to the employees of the DC

The “Time Machine” concert in St. Petersburg was canceled due to three calls with threats to the staff of the recreation center on Petrogradka. The leader of the group Andrei Makarevich spoke about the reasons for the cancellation of the performance planned on April 7, on his Facebook page.

As follows from the documents published by the musician, the anonymous, introduced by the "Patriot of Leningrad", called the office of the recreation center named after Leningrad council three times - February 26 and March 1. The unknown announced the impossibility of holding an opposition to Makarevich and threatened to disrupt this event, spoil advertising products and cause material damage to the recreation center. ” The administration of the Palace of Culture notified law enforcement agencies received threats.

Then, a notification was sent to the organizers of the concert on the termination of the contract for leasing a stage site.

"In connection with the receipt of anonymous threats in the part regarding the life and health of employees and visitors of LLC" Palace of Culture in Petrogradka ", as well as damage to the property of the Contractor by unknown persons, which entails the impossibility of ensuring the security contractor visiting the building, including with the aim of additional education of minor children in circles and sections, I ask you to consider the possibility of terminating the contract," the document says. If the tenant refuses to terminate the agreement by mutual agreement, the administration of the recreation center intends to act unilaterally.

"Read these pieces of paper. From them it is clear that after three (!) Calls of some asshole with threats, the DC DC decides to unilaterally abandon the concert. Dear Peter!" - Makarevich commented on published documents.

In two hours, the post of leader of the “Time Machine” scored about 200 reposts and more than a thousand “likes”. Fans of Russian rock are interested in whether the police are going to calculate the "patriots of Leningrad", and are outraged by the fact that the organizers react to obviously empty threats.

“Another idea, Andrei ... come to us to Nizhny Novgorod, notify in advance, and we will protect you from any“ patriots ”without the help of the police. By the way, this is the idea to identify homegrown cattle -patriots, luring Makarevich,” one of the participants in the discussion writes. Another user of the social network asks Makarevich: "And weakly, like Rosenbaum, in Palace Square? There, people will quickly show such terrorists."

In Smolny, at the request of Interfax, they assured the comment that they did not receive complaints about the planned concert of the Time Machine. “Nobody turned to us. We did not take any steps. This is not our activity, this was not done by our hands,” assured the chairman of the Petersburg Culture Committee Konstantin Sukhonenko.

The abolition of Makarevich’s concerts throughout the country began after he spoke in August 2014 before Ukrainian refugees in Svyatogorsk. In this regard, the deputy of the State Duma from United Russia, Evgeny Fedorov, proposed to deprive the singer of all the titles and orders for the support of the Kiev authorities.
