Vladimir Kiselev - about the singer Shaman
The owner of the Russian Media Group, Vladimir Kiselev, is perplexed : “We invited him [singer Shaman] more than once, both here [to the Golden Gramophone] and to the programs produced by Russian Radio. <…> Unfortunately <…>, many artists, provided that there is a Shaman at the group concert, immediately refuse to perform. For one simple reason - everyone sees the very, very insincerity of this guy, everyone sees that this is an absolutely Kremlin product.
