MOSCOW, January 29. Rapper Vacío’s lawyer (real name Nikolai Vasiliev) Roman Popov said in an interview with NSN that the musician is now undergoing a medical examination that will determine his fitness category.
“»They will be drafted, they will go into the army in the spring. While the commission is underway. He will serve wherever the Motherland sends him. Wherever he is drafted, he will go, they don’t choose him. Depending on the fitness category, it has not yet been determined,” the lawyer said.< br />According to Popov, Vacío was not called up in Yekaterinburg due to health problems. However, employees of the capital's military registration and enlistment offices considered that his physical condition allows him to serve in the ranks of the Russian army.
“»He will not run away abroad, he will not be afraid. It is the honorable duty of every citizen of the Russian Federation to serve!” — said Popov.
Last December, Vacío found himself at the center of a scandal for participating in a “naked” party for blogger Anastasia Ivleeva at the Mutabor club. Following the dress code, the guests came half naked.
The image of the performer turned out to be the most shocking. The musician attended the festival wearing only one sock covering his genitals.
For this, Vasilyev was arrested for 15 days, and also fined 200 thousand rubles for LGBT* propaganda.
On January 6, the Lefortovo Court of Moscow re-arrested Vasilyev for ten days — for petty hooliganism with resisting a police officer.
On January 8, the rapper was given a summons to undergo military service.
Later, the rapper admitted that “in pursuit of hype and drive,” he overestimated his capabilities and did not think about how this could be interpreted by the public.
