In Murom, the FSB, the prosecutor’s office and the city administration, with the help of threats, were forced to cancel the performance of the Porn films punk group. This was reported by Radio Liberty with reference to the owner of the rock club "Art-bar 111" Tatyana Makurina.
"I was sent a warning from the Murom prosecutor’s office. It says that the city prosecutor’s office examined the information of the Federal Penitentiary Service of the Vladimir Region on the possible concert of the Punk Group" Porn films ". This document also says that, according to the Federal Security Service of FSS," this event is aimed at the possible initiation of the protest activity of youth, and the texts of the songs of the punk band-band "Porn films" promote an asocial lifestyle, instill distrust and hatred of state authorities and law enforcement agencies, ”said Makurina. - I was called to the prosecutor's office. The prosecutor gathered, the FSB officers and reported that the Porn Team group will not perform in the Vladimir region, because they are extremists. "
According to Makurina, the city authorities threatened that she would not be able to subtract and live in Murom. “I understand that officials can torture my club with inspections, appoint many thousands of fines, and I will have to leave the city.“ Art Bar 111 ”is my only source of income, and I have three children,” Makurina said.
"To blame the group" Porn films "of extremism - complete nonsense and absurd. In the texts of our songs there are absolutely no calls for something. We are opponents of nationalism, racism and fascism. In our songs we criticize any violence, - said the director and guitarist of the group Alexander Rusakov." We are not afraid to directly and harshly say that we are really worried about the texts. Songs are many social problems.
According to Rusakov, the authorities of Volgograd and Vladimir have already tried to disrupt the concerts of the group. The owners of the clubs where the performances were planned were abolished under the pressure of officials. But in these cities, the musicians managed to find other sites.
