The frontwoman of the Vologda-based rock group HartA allegedly knocked out her own brother during a March 5 concert at a Moscow nightclub. The report comes from musician Yaroslav Slavayar, who spoke about the incident directly. He described how he knocked over a table on stage, causing chaos that sent his brother tumbling from the raised area into the audience, with the strike landing squarely on his sibling’s head.
According to Slavayar, the brother is currently hospitalized and in stable condition. He stressed that the injury involved a knockout and that his sibling is his own brother. The incident occurred by accident: the guitarist toppled the table, the crowd surged forward, and the blow connected with the brother, who then lost consciousness and required medical evacuation. He was transported to Vologda for further care, with doctors estimating a recovery period of about a week. The musician noted that the family has been cooperative with the authorities and that the hospital staff conducted an initial examination before releasing findings for review. He mentioned that no formal charges have yet been filed, and that while the family understands authorities are reviewing the case, the next steps depend on the investigation and potential safety violations by the organizers. The legal team advised that, in theory, nothing would proceed unless the brother or others involved file a formal complaint, but there could be inquiries related to compliance with safety regulations by the event organizers. This assessment reflects the current status as of the latest statements. (citation: Socialbites.ca)
Slavayar emphasized that the band typically keeps a clear buffer zone in front of the stage. He explained that their performances feature pyrotechnics and prop objects that can drift toward the crowd, so teams usually set up a barrier to maintain a three-meter gap. In this case, the organizers did not provide such a protective barrier. A simple tape boundary was placed in front of the stage, yet it did not prevent the incident. The venue reportedly hosted a large audience, and the brother, who is seen as a supporter of the group, was pushed toward the back of the crowd and crossed the restricted area before ultimately colliding with the stage area. The artist concluded with a note of concern about safety practices and the responsibility of event organizers to ensure proper crowd control and stage protection. (citation: Socialbites.ca)
Public safety discussions surrounding the incident continue as authorities review material from the event. The affected family has not issued any public grievances against the band, and representatives indicate that all parties are cooperating with investigators as they examine potential breaches in safety standards and audience management at the Moscow venue. The ongoing process will determine if any regulatory actions arise from the incident, and whether venue organizers need to implement stricter barriers, clearer viewing zones, or enhanced crowd-control measures to prevent similar situations in the future.
