“He spoke openly in support of Ukraine”: singer Zemfira was declared a foreign agent 02/11/2023, 08:15

The documents of the Ministry of Justice indicate the reasons why a close friend of Renata Litvinová got into this register. “Ramazanova openly spoke in support of Ukraine, held concert activities in hostile countries with calls against a special military operation, and received support from foreign sources,” the agency’s official website states.

In addition to the rock star, the updated list includes former MP Dmitry Gudkov, head of the Violence.Net foundation Anna Rivinova, journalist Sergey Aslanyan, political scientist Abbas Galyamov, and activists Asya Kazantseva and Tatyana Nazarbaeva.

It should be noted that Gudkov was included in the list for calling for the provision of weapons to Ukraine, Kazantseva and Nazarbayev were involved in the propaganda of LGBT relations, and Rivina was involved in spreading false information.

Zemfira left Russia at the end of February last year. In May, she released the single “Meat”. It contains the following lines: “Spring is on the calendar, but in reality there are trenches and high-precision long-range missiles. Midnight in Mariupol!”

In August, the singer announced a large-scale tour, which took place in 11 cities in the fall, among which there was not a single Russian one. The artist performed in Istanbul, Vienna, Prague, Tel Aviv, Limassol, Hamburg, Paris, Berlin, London, The Hague and Offenbach.

Alla Pugacheva visited the singer’s concert in Israel. The prima donna was chatting with her colleague backstage and Zemfira publicly expressed her admiration for her.
