There is a reason: the leader of the cult group of the 90s spoke about the cancellation of SMO critics' concerts

Statements against the special military operation and Russia, as well as the justification of terrorism, are a good reason to cancel the concert of an individual musician. To resume concerts, critics of the country must do a weighty deed, some kind of good deed, says Vadim Samoilov, the founder and leader of the Agatha Christie group.

"There are absolute stories when a person not only speaks out against SMO, but can also fall under the justification of terrorism or the justification of war crimes, just speak badly about all of us. Perhaps, in today's situation, such cancellations are the right decision," the musician told the NSN portal.

At the same time, according to the artist, the mechanism of cancellation and recognition by a foreign agent should be more transparent and understandable — the authorities should take more responsibility: "this artist allows himself such statements, we don't want him to perform."

Samoilov noted that, as far as he knows, such musicians are banned from performing at public venues, and then concerts are moved to private venues. In particular, as the artist heard, the concerts of his brother Gleb Samoilov are being canceled.

"At the same time, I have seen materials demonstrating what they say and sing at concerts, what stripes they wear. In general, there is something to cancel for. You need to turn on your head when you put some symbols on yourself," the source believes.

At the same time, Samoilov is sure that if the escaped artists or critics SMO want to return to Russia and continue to give concerts, they will need to prove sincere repentance by some kind deed.

"The fact that we have kind people and are ready to accept the lost, who have realized their mistakes, is a normal thing. I think, in addition to apologies, there should be some kind of public action. It is necessary to look specifically at what a person has done. An act adequate in weight should take place in the opposite direction," the musician concluded.

As EADaily reported, earlier Samoilov urged artists who had not yet been to Donbass to visit him to see everything with their own eyes.
