As SHOT reports, the performances of the band «Bi-2» in the Turkish city of Kemer have been cancelled. Earlier, a four-day festival «Holidays with 'Bi-2'» was planned, with ticket prices ranging from 289 to 379 thousand rubles with accommodation.
The cancellation of the festival took place in the context of the scandal with the deportation of artists from Thailand to Israel. Similar cases of cancellation of performances occurred with other artists who expressed negative attitudes towards Russia. Among them, as noted, were comedians Ruslan Bely (recognised as a foreign agent in Russia) and Maxim Galkin (recognised as a foreign agent in Russia).
Psychologist and public figure Sergei Kosterenko shared with the online edition of Podmoskovye Segodnya, such consequences are caused by public discontent.
According to him, retribution is working, and those who did not support the SWO are becoming less and less in demand.
Concert organisers, according to Kosterenko, try to avoid the difficulties associated with artists who touch on political topics. Therefore, many of them prefer to "cleanse" their reputation.
As a result, many show business stars should take an example from those who try to restore their reputation after scandals, as it happened recently with Kirkorov in Makeyevka in the DNR, the psychologist concluded.
