Rock over the "Motherland". How the police from the election prevented the Tver Pyne Magnata to celebrate the anniversary with Rammstein leader Tille Lindeman

Maxim Larin planned to celebrate his 50th anniversary in the company of famous musicians and invited Tilla Lindeman Till Lindeman to the company of the Afanasy Tver farming at the Afanasy agricultural holding in the company of famous musicians. The event was formally dedicated to the anniversary of the businessman, but, in addition to the high -profile names of the artists, it attracted attention also with poorly disguised agitation for the Pomeranian party, with which Larin was associated. The Mediazone briefly retells the story of an unsuccessful attempt to give Tver the opportunity to see the leader of Rammstein, campaigning for Russian conservatives.

Maxim Larin was born in 1971, he leads the Tver Holding of Afanasy, his most famous brand is the beer of the same name. The fiftieth anniversary of the owner of the beer enterprise was the second summer after the appearance of the coronavirus, and Larin decided to celebrate the anniversary of the festival, which called "Maklain for the Motherland."

The program planned various master classes and programs for children, the performance of Tver musicians and Hadliner-“Bi-2”, the favorite group of the anniversary. The entrance for visitors should have become free, but it was necessary to come in advance, get and put on a T -shirt with the symbols of the festival.

The word “homeland” on it is typed in the same font as on the logo of the political party of the same name, Larin himself is a long -standing supporter and was even a deputy of the Tver Legislative Assembly, and now his son Vladislav is nominated from the “homeland” to the local parliament.

Larin was born in July, but the festival was scheduled for August 29- according to him, representatives of the Bi-2 group determined the day. A week before the appointed date, the patriot entrepreneur announced on Instagram that "the authorities are exerting strong pressure on the group." Larin published a video message from the musicians - they attracted fans on the “cool festival”, showed a rocker “goat” and repeated the name of the Afanasy holding.

Soon, in a comment under the same post, the vocalist of the group Yegor Bortnik (known under the pseudonym Lev Bi-2) wrote that the team "would not perform at the declared event." He specified that the musicians "no one intimidated." “We just learned that the event is related to the Rodina party, and is part of its election company. And we are for rock and roll, ”the musician wrote. The group later explained that she received a warning from violations of epidemiological norms from the authorities.

The next day, Larin promised that “the Osros swept“ Bi-2 ”, but at the festival, the“ Grand-level star ”would still be performed.” The businessman added that for the sake of celebrating his own anniversary he had to “use all the reserves of the holding”, since the fee increased ten times. “But my name is more expensive than money,” he emphasized.

At first, the name of the future headliner kept secret. “We will place the information immediately as soon as the group comes from the United States and will be in our territory. This will take place on August 27, ”wrote the head of Athanasius. One of the local publications responded to this by the heading “Maxim Larin invites Americans to agitate for the“ homeland ”?” And she published a screenshot from Instagram, where one of the leaders Bi-2 said that he was not involved in campaign events.

The day before the festival, on August 27, it became known that Till Lindemann, the leader of the German shocking rock band Rammstein, was invited to the anniversary of the Tver Kommersant, which in 2021 markedly focused on Russian scenes. Then another change took place in the program: Larin asked not to come in branded T -shirts, since "the authorities can understand this is not right." “We will make the access regime only according to tickets and passports, that is, without T -shirts,” he explained.

He also said that “people in black”, who began to interfere with the installation of the stage, made their way to the festival under the guide of the security forces.

“We managed to hear the conversation of law enforcement officers. It follows from it that there is an order to prevent the holiday by any methods. And the cluster of people in the same T -shirts branded by Maklaryn for their homeland can be interpreted, according to law enforcement officers, as an unauthorized rally. And that this is a private party in its own territory - it does not matter, ”the businessman was indignant .

Further, according to his story, the police blocked the cars at the entrance to the festival, so that the Lindemanne group could not hold a rehearsal. In addition, police officers came to the hotel to the German rocker, who, according to Interfax, gave him an order not to hold a concert due to coronavirus.

According to the instructions of the Rospotrebnadzor of the Tver region, at the end of August, in the region it is impossible to take measures of more than 500 people. The head of "Athanasius" on the morning of August 29, a few hours before the planned festival, published an open letter to Lindmann with a request to speak at least "in a closed empty territory", but - "so as not to offend any of the guests."

Lindemann's performances were not, in the rest of the festival took place. Someone wrote “We rest well!”, Someone complained about a large amount of agitation at the festival and non-compliance with coronavirus restrictions.

Several media, citing sources, wrote that the producer Lindemann Anara Reibanda drew up an administrative protocol for the rules of entry into Russia.

“When crossing the border of the Russian Federation, he stated the goal of traveling tourism, although he actually engaged in organizing concert activities,” the interlocutor of Interfax said , clarifying that the materials were sent to the city court in Konakovo. The press service of the court, without hearing the question, answer: “Reiband? No, there were no materials. ”
