Blogger Ivan Zolo explained why he was detained during a tour in Donetsk. The attention of law enforcement officers was attracted by a T-shirt with symbols, which is recognized as an extremist organization in Russia.
“Once in 2022, I bought a T-shirt from a hip-hop shop, and made a video with it, and now it turned out that it was with banned symbols of Satanism (the International Satanism Movement is recognized in Russia as an extremist organization and banned).” I personally did not know about it, Zolo wrote in his Telegram channel. He fully pleaded guilty and promised to remove all video footage of the shirt, and he pledged to “dispose of it.”.
The blogger assured his fans that he was fine. He also announced the postponement of the concert in Mariupol. The rest of the tour will continue as scheduled.
Ivan Zolo (real name – Ivan Zolochevsky) is a Russian blogger, streamer and musician. He became known for his videos on TikTok and co-broadcasts with blogger Nekoglay on the Twitch platform. Their broadcasts gathered hundreds of thousands of viewers. In 2021, Zolo began releasing music.
On October 18, the administration of the Terricon club in Donetsk, where Ivan Zolo’s concert was held the day before, reported the arrest of the blogger by the police. Law enforcement officers checked the artist himself, members of his team and spectators of the event.
Ekaterina Mizulina, head of the Safer Internet League, confirmed Zolo’s detention and added that “his concerts were cancelled in Sevastopol earlier due to degradation propaganda and security measures.”.
