Consensus

Vitaly Borodin, head of the Russian Federal Project on Security and Anti-Corruption (FPBK), called for a ban on concerts in Russia.
The call for a concert ban was made in the context of the ongoing special military operation (SVO).
The incident involving a concert by Lolita Miilyavskaya in Sochi, where the performance was interrupted three times due to drone threats, served as the catalyst for the statement.
Borodin argued that concerts create security risks and place additional strain on security forces.
He suggested that regional leaders should have the authority to block concert permits based on safety concerns related to the SVO.
Borodin criticized artists for prioritizing profit over public safety during wartime.
