It's interesting to get his take on it, in that he's a member of a group whose beliefs/stance is very much contrary to the Russian state, who placed them on the 'black list' for being left wing extremists, but he mentions that it's a very bad time for creative types and that the way forward is just to help the refugees. An interesting read- I know nothing about the group.Several threads I could post this on, but here's one of them: can anyone whose Deutsch ist ein bisschen less schrecklich than meine have a read of this PDF uber die Situation in Russland and let me know if there's owt interesting in it?

I'd say they're worth a listen if slightly earnest slavic punk/techno-influenced hip-hop sounds like your cup of tea? They're meant to be going on a European tour soon, which is quite surprising to me - I don't know if I'm more surprised by the rest of Europe letting (obviously very oppositional) Russian musicians in to tour or by Russia letting a blacklisted "extremist" band out to go on tour.It's interesting to get his take on it, in that he's a member of a group whose beliefs/stance is very much contrary to the Russian state, who placed them on the 'black list' for being left wing extremists, but he mentions that it's a very bad time for creative types and that the way forward is just to help the refugees.

There's a thread questioning their position on refugees here.Moscow Death Brigade are also doing a new shirt with all proceeds going to Ukrainian refugees:
Probably a good thing that the shirt just says "MDB" on it, I think it'll be a while before you can wear a shirt that actually says MOSCOW DEATH BRIGADE without having to worry about giving the wrong impression.MDB x Fire and Flames „Peace“ Benefit-Shirt – Fire and Flames Music and Clothing

Interesting thread, in the Bezlad interview I was listening to he was saying some critical stuff about unnamed high-profile Russian bands so I wondered if he was having a go at them.There's a thread questioning their position on refugees here.
