Vera Brezhneva, the well-known Ukrainian singer, is gearing up for a concert in Latvia. She shared a makeup-free rehearsal photo on Instagram, an update that caught attention because the platform’s owner has faced bans in Russia due to extremist accusations from certain quarters.
The singer described the rehearsal as a moment of awe, noting that a rainbow appeared during the last song while the VIA Gra hit Ray Is My Favourite played in her Stories. The timing felt like a sign to her, a small beacon she could interpret as a blessing from the skies. Brezhneva added that she hoped this would translate into sunny, pleasant weather in Riga on August 25 as her fans prepared to welcome her on stage.
Back in June 2023, Brezhneva announced that her concert schedule had been interrupted by unnamed circumstances, with several performances in Spain and Portugal canceled. The disruption came amid broader international tensions that affected many artists during the period.
In the wake of the start of the special military operation, Brezhneva left Russia with her husband, Konstantin Meladze. The pair had been marketing the sale of a Moscow-area mansion since February 2023. Since then, the performer has continued her career abroad, extending her touring footprint beyond her home country. In June 2023, industry insiders mentioned that Brezhneva was in Latvia, signaling a shift in her touring focus and residency plans.
Details about Brezhneva’s global activities have occasionally surfaced in media summaries. One brief note highlighted how Hollywood star Ryan Gosling offered behind‑the‑scenes access to the Barbie project, illustrating the broad spectrum of entertainment coverage around the same time.
