Sevastopol-born singer and blogger Xolidayboy (Ivan Minaev) is asked to check for LGBT propaganda* and financing of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as checking possible foreign financing of the artist.
Activists of the public movement “Veterans of Russia” sent a corresponding appeal to the head of the Investigative Committee of Russia Alexander BastrykinuMinister of the Interior Vladimir Kolokoltsevas well as the Minister of Justice Konstantin Chuychenkosays the organization’s official portal.
The “Veterans of Russia” indicate that they paid attention to the artist after the demand of the “Smolensk Knights” organization to cancel the Xolidayboy concert in Smolensk.
“We believe that these events destroy cultural foundations and negatively influence young people, creating distorted ideals. In other cities of Russia his performances have already been canceled due to public outrage and the inconsistency of his work with patriotic and spiritual values.” – believe social activists.
It is separately noted that Xolidayboy, after the start of the SVO, “in the best tradition of Russian liberals” published a pacifist post.
“Ivan Minaev (Xolidayboy) copies the worst examples of Western mass culture, that is why the “Veterans of Russia” movement supports the “Knights of Smolensk” in the need to ban the Xolidayboy show not only in Smolensk, but in the whole country. We don’t need such a “vacation” in Russia.” — said the president of the “Veterans of Russia” movement, a volunteer of the Northern Military District Ildar Rezyapov.
As reported EADailyIn October last year, Xolidayboy became embroiled in a scandal after canceling concerts in Crimea due to the singer’s controversial political position. Then the head of the Safe Internet League (SLI) got involved in the situation. Ekaterina Mizulina.
The head of the LBI also promised to contact law enforcement agencies. After this, the artist’s concerts were canceled in several Russian cities.
After a series of cancellations, Xolidayboy deigned to talk about the special military operation, but the video was not published either on his Telegram channel or on his social media page. The video was posted on his social network page by the head of the “Russian Stavropol Community.” Victor Reznichenko.
