The artist who criticized SMO is preparing for a stadium concert in Russia

The stadium show of singer and composer Leonid Agutin and his wife, singer Angelica Varum, is scheduled for February 23 in Togliatti. The telegram channel UralLive drew attention to this.

At the same time in the publication TK reminds that Agutin criticized the behavior of the special military operation, and also appeared among the participants of the concert for Ukraine in March 2022. In particular, the message contains a screenshot from Agutin's page on the social network.

His song was played as part of the U For Ukraine concert on March 20, which was broadcast on YouTube. Later, the artist's press service denied the fact of support for Ukraine. Agutin himself that day performed a concert in Tyumen, and the recording of the song with his participation was filmed long before the SMO began and was broadcast without his consent.

Note, the concert of Agutin and Varum was announced on February 23 at the site of the Lada Arena Ice Sports Palace in Togliatti. The musician will perform together with his band "Esperanto", as well as the show ballet "Swans-Funk". The cost of tickets varies from 4 to 17 thousand rubles.

As EADaily reported, in 2024 Agutin's concert in Omsk was demanded to be canceled by activists of the Council of Atamans of the Cossack People. The Council stressed that they were approached by a group of people who demand protection from "pro-Western, liberal ideology that undermines the foundations of the Russian world from the inside." In the supervisory authorities, outraged local residents are "simply waved off." Then the public activists sent an appeal to the head of the regional government Vitaly Khotsenko.
