The head of the Safe Internet League, Ekaterina Mizulina, published a video apologizing to singer Eduard Charlotte, who was detained at St. Petersburg Pulkovo airport at night after returning from Armenia. The performer called the reason for the detention his “misfire in understanding what was happening.”
A voice-over, Charlotte asked what he had done. He replied that he had burned the passport of the Russian Federation. “Was mistakenly obsessed with false information. <…> “I won’t do this again,” the singer said and added that he repents.
In the summer, the performer published a video of the burning of a Russian passport. Also in the video, he appealed to the Ukrainian authorities with a request to help him get to Kyiv. “I wish to get to the capital of Ukraine, support people with performances, concerts, and various assistance. I consider it necessary to be with those who are being crushed and oppressed in difficult times. “I am no longer a citizen of criminal Russia,” he clarified.
Already on November 12, Charlotte posted a video with the words: “I’m going to my home, to my native country.” On the same day, he published a screenshot with data from a flight from Yerevan to St. Petersburg, which was scheduled for the night of November 21-22. The singer explained that he wrote a new album in Russian and wants to present it.
This morning it became known about the artist’s arrest.
