    Looks like it was 1 concert performed in 2015 in occupied Crimea. The site really should highlight the date and location of their last concert. I don't agree with their decision, but I don't have the context and that has been their only concert in areas of Russian occupation since 2015.

    They crossed the Ukrainian border illegally from the russian side, performed on the festival organized by "victory cult" / red fash pro-putin biker group that fought against Ukraine. They never apologized for these, and made these really weird comments back in the day. His explanation is even more stupid then the original quote that caused the issue, like

    That someone invades or occupies another country is against international law, which I think should apply instead of someone resorting to armed conflict as has now happened in Ukraine.

    Ukraine made a decision to do exactly that in 2014. Guess what happened next? Right, russia wanted more and started military activity in Donetsk, Luhansk, Dripro, Kharkiv, Odesa. "Happened" in Ukraine. As if he's talking about weather. Russia fucking did it.

    Not just bands, show biz folks in general. Luc Besson and Emir Kusturica, for example, were part of Moscow forum “Culture. Media. Digital” back in 2024. Oliver Stone was there too, but he’s been a pro-Russian piece of shit for a while now, so almost not worth mentioning him.
