Zmitser Vaitsyushkevich’s concert forbidden in Brest
The performance had to be given in the local puppet show on March 18.
Brest ideologists allowed the concert. However, the director of the show summoned the organizer later and informed him that the concert had been cancelled without any explanation. Let us remind you that it is the second concert cancelled after a black list of musicians, activists and writers appeared on the Internet.
“Lyapis Trubetskoi” will not give a concert in Homel this week either due to fire safety problems. The Lyapises’ concert in Mahileu is also in for cancellation. Mihalok and Vaitsyushkevich’s songs have been removed from the rotation of all the country’s FM radio stations. Officials refute the existence of the black list and call it a fake. However, administrations of radio stations unofficially confirm that they have received a list of people who should not be mentioned.
