In telegram channels and VK-publics for the recruitment of extras, advertisements appeared with an offer to take part in the rally-concert at Luzhniki on February 22, at which Vladimir Putin is expected to speak. The Siren publication drew attention to this.
According to a typical announcement (for example, this one was published on the Massovki.net channel), “a patriotic concert dedicated to February 23” will begin at Luzhniki at 14:00. It will feature “Hands Up”, Philip Kirkorov, Klava Koka, Stas Mikhailov, Polina Gagarina, Grigory Leps and Niletto.
Invited extras are promised to be paid 500 rubles each, as well as merch.
When asked by a Sirena correspondent about the concert participants, the organizer of the crowd responded as follows: “I’m just helping to recruit people. What they told me, I copied and sent to the group, and then I can’t tell you for sure.”
