Deputy Pushes for Arbenina Frontline Performance in Krasnoyarsk

Vyacheslav Dyukov, a deputy on the Krasnoyarsk City Council, has proposed inviting the Night Snipers founder Diana Arbenina to perform on the front lines. He discussed this idea in an interview with a regional publication, expressing his view that a live appearance by the artist could symbolize resilience and morale in difficult times. The plan prompted a response from the mayor’s office, with Dyukov requesting a reconsideration of whether Arbenina could be brought to Krasnoyarsk for a concert. He emphasized that the artist had publicly criticized the leadership of Russia and the President, suggesting that her involvement would bear on the public narrative surrounding the war and its portrayal. The administration then forwarded the matter to the police for review, pending their assessment and recommendations, a move that has kept the situation in a state of anticipation among supporters and critics alike.
