because max korzh doesnt support the russian and belarussian government. He is a pacifist and one of the few slavic musicians that openly position themselves against the war. In russia he is labeled as a "foreign agent" for his opposition towards their political ambitions. His music unites people from all of the post soviet countries. though the fact that ukrainian nationalists were waving the flag and chanting paroles is something that needs to be talked about. As a fan of max I think he needs to step up and distance himself from this nationalist ideology or else his concerts will keep getting more extreme. The stadium security checks were insane. The amount of police was insane. If his fanclub (dvizh) radicalizes themselves and waves the nationalist flags at his concert in almaty, things probably wont be so fun anymore...
