Loboda fires concertgoer who refuses to support Ukraine — EADaily, October 29, 2024 — Society, Russia

Svetlana Loboda, the former soloist of the VIA Gra group and who suddenly became a completely Ukrainian singer, believes that all viewers of her concerts should support Ukraine. He expressed this from the stage during a performance in Yerevan.

Someone from the audience came on stage and Loboda asked him to say that he was not only for peace, but also supported Ukaraina. The woman refused, apparently stating that she had just arrived at the concert and did not want to talk about politics. Exclamations of “Don’t tell” were heard in the hall.

Loboda said categorically, “Then I let you go and I don’t want to talk to you anymore, I can’t. You came to my concert, so you must support my position.”

Part of the concert video was published in the lobodainfor community on TikTok. The video has already received almost half a million views, and not all fans are ready to support the singer’s position.

“What do you mean I want you to say? I want a lot too, so what?”, “I’m handing over my tickets! I didn’t know you had to know this before coming to a concert with someone, learn all their positions and support them”, “I don’t spend my money to talk and listen to politics, but to play music I came to a concert that I paid to listen to”, “you are a degenerate fool, I don’t care about your opinion”, “If I like the songs, this does not mean that I should share your opinion!” write fans of the singer.

Like EADaily It was reported that the tickets for Loboda’s concert in Cyprus on October 26 were sold with great difficulty.

Surprisingly, the concert announcement, written in Russian, also includes a direct speech from the singer, who no longer hesitates to speak Russian.

“I continue to do what I know best: creating songs, giving myself to people on stage, and most importantly, today gives me the opportunity to help and invest in our free future in Ukraine,” the singer said.

It does not specify exactly how the aid will be provided. However, Loboda believes that audience participation in his concerts is “helping dozens of families return to their own land, to their restored homes.”

Approximately 30 percent of the tickets could not be sold on the eve of the concert.
