The chairman of the Patriarchal Commission for Family Affairs, Protection of Motherhood and Childhood, Priest Feodor Lukyanov, said that the concerts of Rammstein soloist Till Lindemann planned in Russia should be canceled due to their destructive nature. Lukyanov wrote about this in his Instagram.
The representative of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) called for a ban on Lindemann’s speeches for promoting abortion and hatred of children. He recalled that the musician’s concert tour is called “I hate children.” Lindemann also performs the song of the same name and the song “I Bless the Abortion”.
“Let’s work together to convey to the performer that he is not welcome in our country, and we will try to cancel this performance, because providing a platform for a German artist to promote abortion to Russian people is unacceptable!” the priest suggested.
Lindemann’s concerts were scheduled for January in two Russian cities, Novosibirsk (January 26) and Moscow (January 28). However, they were postponed due to the worsening epidemic situation in the country. In addition, the performances of the musician were postponed in Kiev, Bratislava, Prague and Riga.
On January 1, the head of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin, instructed to check the arguments of public figures from the Novosibirsk region about the Lindemann concert. The authors of the statement emphasized that the artist has already encountered problems with Russian legislation due to his scandalous songs and videos.
The representative of the Coordinating Council for the Protection of Public Morality, Culture and Traditional Family Values Ivan Kvasnitsky said that the organization is going to prevent the loss of cultural sovereignty.
