A recent post on Instagram by the Russian pop singer Zivert has sparked discussion about internal management and ticket sales for her shows. In the message, she explained that her concert director was dismissed after allegations of unauthorized ticket sales and other irregularities connected to four years of touring. The singer named Vladimir Polyakov as the former director involved in these issues and noted that Kirill Oreshkin, who should not have involvement with her team or the concert sales, was also linked to the events.
According to Zivert, a department within the touring team was effectively cleared out after an internal review, and Polyakov reportedly lost his position. Evgenia Lazarevskaya was introduced as the new concert director in place of the previous leadership. The singer made a point of saying that in hindsight, certain problems were inevitable to surface and that truth has a way of coming to light eventually.
Earlier this year, Zivert claimed there were attempts to pursue Polyakov as he reportedly relocated from Russia and was believed to be living abroad. She also recalled a moment from a Moscow festival performance where she used the words no money on stage, a line that some audience members interpreted as a critique of financial arrangements and a possible anti-war sentiment expressed during the show.
