The paratroopers demand the cancellation of Philip Kirkorov's concert in Yaroslavl. If the show is not removed from the poster, they promise to be hired along with the marines and border guards.
Representatives of the Union of Russian Paratroopers in the Yaroslavl region, military veterans, including members of the Northern Military District, and other residents of the city spoke out against the artist's concert, scheduled for November 27 at Arena-2000. The reason was a video from 2020 where Kirkorov rips his vest. Social activists consider such an act offensive and say that during a special operation the artist should not go on stage after such a thing.
The activists are about to send a request to the site management. If they don't listen, then the paratroopers intend to boycott Kirkorov's speech together with the border guard and the marines, the head of the regional "Union of Russian Paratroopers" Andrei Palachev told us. In addition, according to the social activist, the artist promotes LGBT*.
Earlier in Tyumen, Kirkorov was criticized after a concert where he had difficulty standing up and moving around on stage. The artist himself admitted that it was one of the most difficult concerts in his entire creative life. He later explained that he was functioning with a high fever. Now the spectators of the second day of the show demand a refund of the tickets in order not to attend it.
The LGBT movement is banned in the Russian Federation.
