In Orenburg, security forces disrupted a Noize MC concert

In Orenburg, the security forces disrupted the concert of Noize MC (Ivan Alekseev), a rapper known for his opposition views. It is reported by Avtozak LIVE with reference to a regional correspondent.

“The FSB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the regional administration set out to cancel, by all means, our concert today,” the artist’s telegram channel quotes.

According to journalists, Noize MC and his team changed four venues in Orenburg. The owners of the first two were threatened, in connection with which the artists decided to perform at smaller venues, but the security forces came there.

• Cancellation and banning of events by artists who publicly criticize the actions of the authorities is a common practice in Russia. So, in February, the management of one of the largest venues in Moscow refused to organize a performance by Noize MC because of his participation in the “Freedom to Navalny!”
