For the band no borders and the States that commented the band.
Russian rock band “Crematorium” will not participate in a music festival Atlas Weekend in Kiev. Because of his visit to the Crimea, she was listed by the site “Peacemaker” that lays out the profiles of those who threaten the national security of Ukraine.
“The band was supposed to play in Kyiv at the international festival Atlas Weekend, but at the last moment were refused entry,” he wrote on his page on Facebook journalist Alex Pevchev.
The team also published an appeal to his Ukrainian fans in which he expressed disappointment with the inability to arrive to Kiev and accused of “Peacemaker” in the incitement of hatred between people.
“In connection with a hit “Crematorium” in purgatory supposedly notorious Ukrainian “Peacekeepers” on us was a barrage of calls and emails requesting comment. Only one day in a network there was a few dozen notes and articles, with the comments of the leader of group Armen Grigoryan, which is not true. Therefore, without waiting for the response of the festival organizers to participate in which due to numerous requests from our Ukrainian fans and invited CT, we decided to write an appeal to all who are interested in our (real!) opinion on the current situation. In order to prevent false quotations, which compose pseudo-journalists in pursuit of their goals.
In the 35-year history of the “Crematorium” group many times acted on the territory of Ukraine. And when it was in the USSR and post-Soviet era. We always took bread and salt, and we have very warm attitude to our Ukrainian listeners. Exactly as we have always accepted invitations to speak in any city in the world, including the Peninsula. For our team no borders and States, there are only people! We are musicians and for us the most important thing – creativity. Despite the political situation between the two countries, we accepted the invitation of organizers of the international festival “Atlas of the Weekend” to play there because we sincerely believe that Music can unite people and to settle peace in the crippled souls of politicians!
Published on the website “Peacemaker*” news boorish, even a biased manner completely contrary to its name. In fact his “mission” is more in line with the name “Pointwhores”. These instigators deliberately push people’s foreheads, inciting more hatred and enmity. But we know that ordinary citizens of Ukraine believe in goodness and light, and not ready to dance to the tune unrestrained nationalists. We are with you, friends!”, – stated in the message text.
