The authorities of the Yaroslavl region will not cancel the concert Kirkorov

The government of the Yaroslavl region does not intend to interfere in the organization of Philip Kirkorov’s speech in Yaroslavl. This decision was explained by the fact that the concert is beyond the powers of the regional authorities.

The regional government told TASS that the organizer of the event and the Arena 2000 are independent private organizations. Their activities are regulated by federal legislation, and the executive bodies of the region have no right to interfere in the work of commercial structures in the absence of violations of the law or threats to public safety.

Earlier, the local branch of the Union of Paratroopers of Russia and other public associations sent Governor Mikhail Evraev an appeal with a request to cancel the concert, scheduled for November 27.

The discontent of the public was caused by a video in which the artist appears in the image of a paratrooper and tears the veal. The authors of the appeal considered such use of airborne symbols unacceptable and offensive for representatives of this community.

In addition, the activists said that holding the concert at a time when the country is experiencing losses and is involved in hostilities, they consider immoral. In their opinion, the event can increase public tension and hurt the feelings of the families of the dead soldiers.
