Fedor Chistyakov canceled concerts in Russia

The leader of the zero group Fedor Chistyakov announced the abolition of Russian tour. Now the musician is in the USA.

At the end of July, Chistyakov decided not to return to his homeland due to the ban on Jehovah's witnesses, nevertheless this fall in Russia he had several concerts planned.

“In principle, there were no problems for the tour, although there was an unpleasant feeling that you were going to the house in which the fire was blazing, and you do not know you will come out alive or not. - Chistyakov writes on his website. -And yet, I was determined to do this, and not only because it would bring to me income, but also because obligations were taken, serious obligations. Obligations to promoters, obligations to you. Therefore, no matter how disturbing it did not seem to me, I was going to do it. But there are events that finally break everything. ”

The first of these events was the tightening of the procedure for issuing visas to the American Embassy in Russia, which calls for a question of Chistyakov’s reconciliation in the United States, the second was the arrest of the artistic director of the “Gogl-Center” director Kirill Serebrennikov, whose business, according to Chistyakov, “is clearly repressive.”

“In the end, I am elementary. - the musician admits. “I'm in the risk category.”
