Police and Ministry of Emergencies of Novosibirsk disrupted the “Unfortunate Case” concert

In Novosibirsk, the electricity was turned off at the concert of the group “Neschastnyi slasov” allegedly due to smoke in the adjacent room. The police and the Ministry of Emergency Situations arrived at the scene. The duo was released to the police. This was reported by the Telegram channel @сибирьмедия.

Shortly before the performance, he was moved to another venue, about which only those who bought tickets were warned. Before the start of the concert, the electricity in the club was turned off, the fire brigade and the police arrived there. They reported smoke in the neighboring post office.

Despite the reported smoke, the spectators spent more time in the room and, according to the eyewitness, were skeptical of the police report. The musical group promised several times to start the concert “after starting the generator”, but then returned the money for the tickets to the attendees.

Later, singer Alexei Kortnev and musician Dmitry Chuvelyov were released to the police “to find out the circumstances of the incident and accompanying events,” according to the official page of “Unfortunate Case”.

• In February 2022, Kortnev wrote a post on Instagram strongly condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine (the publication has now been deleted). At the end of February, at a concert in Arkhangelsk, Kortnev said that it was a shame to play funny songs today and, ending the performance, said goodbye to the audience with the words “Peace – peace!”
• In June 2022, the “Unfortunate Accident” concert in Moscow was canceled “under pressure from state authorities”, and local activists tried to disrupt the group’s performance in Nizhny Novgorod.
• In July 2022, “Fontanka” reported on the existence of a list of Russian musicians whose performances are considered undesirable by the Russian authorities due to their anti-war stance. Almost everyone from the list faced the cancellation of concerts in Russia, some left the country. The group “Unfortunate Accident” is also on the list.
