MOSCOW, July 10 Bi-2 soloist Leva said that he did not earn anything but nerves after playing at the match for the Russian Super Cup on football between St. Petersburg Zenit and Moscow Spartak. Zenit players defeated Spartak at their home stadium in St. Petersburg with a score of 4:0. After the game, the artist sang a song with a “red-white” scarf around his neck, for which he was booed by the fans of the “blue-white-blue.” “We came to St. Petersburg to support Spartak.” There was no talk about the fee at all — we played for free. I flew to Spain on a low-cost airline. The organizers paid for the tickets. I didn’t earn anything except nerves, «the soloist of the Bi-2 group wrote on his VKontakte page. The decision to call the Bi-2 group previously caused discontent in social networks because of their positions on the special operation in Ukraine. Previously, the Bi-2 group postponed a number of concerts planned in Russia and Estonia until autumn. The nearest concert in Moscow is postponed to June 2023. Prior to this, in May, the performance «Letters and Songs», which was planned to be presented in St. Petersburg, was postponed. At the end of April, the group canceled their concert in Omsk a few minutes before it began due to a patriotic banner that was hung in the Krasnaya Zvezda sports complex. The cancellation of the concert led to a flurry of criticism against the musicians. According to their explanation, they adhere to the concept of «no politics».
