Singer to lose 15 million rubles due to public outrage – Russia today Publication in CHAT: RussiaOn September 10, it became known that the performance of the singer Shaman on the Stavropol City Day had been cancelled. The regional Ministry of Culture published a shortened program of events. As reported by the editorial board of Bloknot Stavropol, the cost of his speech became known to the public after the sum of 15 million rubles was published on the state procurement website. Many citizens considered such expenses illegal, especially considering the special military operation (SVO). Discussions about the appropriateness of the exorbitantly expensive concert of the performer Shaman reached the federal level after criticism voiced by State Duma deputy Nina Ostanina. The parliamentarian is sure that such extravagance is beyond the means of the regional budget. At the same time, the Ministry of Culture of Stavropol Krai noted that the performer's songs are "spiritually uplifting." The discussions reached the governor of Stavropol, who initiated a survey among his subscribers on social networks about the advisability of organizing an expensive performance in the current situation. Most of the survey participants voted for more modest events. As a result, the governor gave the order to reduce the program of celebrations and exclude the singer Shaman from the program. On September 10, the regional Ministry of Culture published an updated program of events, which does not include the Shaman concert. Instead, the program includes a gala concert "I have a voice", a florist festival, a performance by a thousand-strong children's choir, and other festival activities. However, despite this decision, the question of the financial aspects of the deal with Shaman remains open. As Bloknot Stavropol found out, the singer works on the terms of 100% prepayment, and funds in the amount of 15 million rubles have already been transferred to the account of his concert producer. This raises a legitimate question about the fate of the allocated money in light of the cancellation of the concert. https://bloknot.ru/regiony/stavropol-otmenyaet-vystuplenie-shaman-na-den-goroda-1336355.html Original source Source link
