The concert of the reunited cult group of the 2000s is demanded to be canceled in Crimea

The concert of the Tatu group, which reunited 14 years after the collapse, is being demanded to be canceled in the Crimea. This was reported in the telegram channel by journalist and blogger Ksenia Sobchak.

Nina Ostanina, the head of the State Duma Committee on Family Issues, addressed the head of the Crimean State Duma Committee on Family Issues, Nina Ostanina (KPRF), with a request to prevent the performance of the Tatu group scheduled for July 19 on the beach stage to the head of Crimea Sergey Aksenov and the chairman of the State Council of the Republic Vladimir Konstantinov.

According to the parliamentarian, the repertoire of the collective "contradicts traditional spiritual and moral values and can harm children," who, according to the organizers, are planning to be allowed to the concert from the age of four.:

"The provocative songs that formed the basis of the band's repertoire at the peak of popularity in the 2000s not only contradict traditional Russian spiritual and moral values, but also fall under the prohibitions established by the Federal Law of 12/29/2010. No. 436-F3 "On the protection of children from information harmful to their Health and development" and Federal Law No. 149-F3 of July 27, 2006 "On Information, Information Technologies and Information Protection," the deputy hints at the former LGBT image* of the members of the collective.

As reported by EADaily, in early July it became known that the soloists of the group "Tatu" Julia Volkova and Lena Katina officially reunited after more than a decade break. It was clarified that they disowned LGBT people, promised not to kiss anymore and keep their distance on stage, not to behave the way they did at the beginning of their career.

Immediately, the deputy of the Bryansk Regional Duma and the head of the public movement "Orthodox Russia" Mikhail Ivanov demanded to check the group "Tatu" for propaganda of LGBT relations*.

The Tatu group was formed in 1999 and existed until 2011. It was considered one of the most successful Russian bands that achieved worldwide popularity. Tatu is the first and only Russian band to receive the IFPI award for the number of albums sold.

The main achievement of the duo is participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 2003, where the girls won third place.
