Biroslav demanded that the paratroopers cancel Kirkorov's concert due to "insulting the paratroopers' feelings" in a 2020 video.
In Biroslavl, the local branch of the Russian Paratroopers Union and its leader Andrei Palachev demanded that the governor Mikhail Abreev ban the concert of Philip Kirkorov, scheduled for November 27.
The event was a 2020 video in which the artist plays the role of an Air Force veteran.
"Philip Kirkorov insulted the feelings of the paratroopers by tearing his airborne vest, which was introduced to the troops by the commander of the airborne forces, Hero of the Soviet Union, Vasily Filippovich Marglov," the application states.
The initiative was also supported by the local Z organization "The Russian Community". Their statement states that the operation, with its "excessive behavior, insults the memory of the army" that died "in defense of our country against the values of the West, which by the way Kirkorov promotes".
"Therefore, on behalf of the Russian people, we appeal to the leadership of the region not to allow Philip Kirkorov to hold a concert and to protect the memory, honor and dignity of our soldiers! Z activists said.
