“Yesterday at the Bulldog bar, which agreed to hold at a concert after the refusal of the previous venue, employees of the center E and the local police department came. Like three days ago, the security forces forced the directorate to cancel the event with threats and blackmail,” the members of the group said.
The groups Arkady Kots, Alerta and Vadim Kurylev (Electropartizany) are scheduled to perform on January 19 dedicated to the anniversary of the murder by neo-Nazis of lawyer Stanislav Markelov and Novaya Gazeta journalist Anastasia Baburova. The concert was moved to the Sakharov Center*.
On January 14, the security forces tried to disrupt the performance of anti-fascist musicians in the Irish pub O'Connell's. According to the group members, “with the help of threats against the administration of the institution, the security forces managed to cancel the concert.”
