MOSCOW, November 23. Musician Eduard Charlotte allegedly died, so you can only say good things about him or nothing at all, singer SHAMAN joked in an interview with the StarHit portal .
““As far as I know, he (Charlotte. — Ed.) died, and according to the Russian Orthodox tradition, it’s either good or nothing about the dead,” said Yaroslav Dronov (real name SHAMANa. — Ed. .).
Previously, Charlotte challenged SHAMAN to a “creative and musical duel,” during which the artists had to “measure vocal ranges,” as well as “demonstrate the skills of playing and composing.”
Last night, Eduard Charlotte was detained at the airport Pulkovo, where he flew from Yerevan. He was charged with several administrative offenses, including under articles of discrediting the army and deliberate damage to a passport.
On Wednesday, the Leninsky District Court of St. Petersburg sentenced the performer to 13 days of arrest for petty hooliganism.
The press service of the court explained that the musician was charged with petty hooliganism due to the fact that “he used gross obscene language in a public place, waved his arms, pestered citizens, shouted, and did not respond to repeated remarks.” This happened at about two o'clock in the morning on the Obvodny Canal embankment, 205. According to open sources, the 77th police department of the Admiralteysky district of St. Petersburg is located there.

In June, the singer published a video in which he burned his passport. The performer stated that he no longer considers himself a citizen of Russia and will go to Kyiv. But in mid-November, Charlotte asked his subscribers for money for a return ticket.
