24th September a group of "DDT" gathered SC "Olympic" to talk peace and love at his concert: "Do not shoot." Are there many Russian groups can now collect "Olympic"? And can collect as many teams "Olympic" in the name of a currently unpopular idea: "Do not shoot"? Today, as the benefits are becoming higher, the harder. Their position on the situation in Georgia and South Ossetia, where almost all of the media that is open, which gradually are successful an image of an external enemy "DDT" managed to collect about 20,000 people.

Yury Shevchuk many as one of the most important "warrior" in our music. Although the program is called "Do not shoot", you will be involved as someone who pop, contemporary political elite in the "March of Dissent" "bombed" known ... Yu.Sh. - Of course there is a war of ideas. I fought at the level of ideas, arguing with his colleagues - this is normal. But in each hot spot, I did not take up arms. That would be terrible, then I could not write a song. I'm just there to suffer, like everyone else. For me, a musician, a Russian glasses, it is important not only where there is good, but where suffering and sorrow. This is very important! I am, in fact, something simple, but I do not see any aggression, I think this debate. Should be. If I agree with everything, I'm not going to be a man. I for political, human conflicts, debates and discussions. I have the right to speak for everyone, and not just any part of the society and the political parties. I want to hear other opinions! Here recently, the country ran a book, "Project Russia", which is very intelligent people write that that the political elite should have people like the dopey kids to give them a "candy", and said that all is well. As in ancient Greece: bread, glasses, gladiator fights, football, "Forward, Russia", Dima Bilan. As we all right! I have a new song has this line: "Yes, Russia gets to his feet, but what about those who are left with no legs!"? Not say. A war was and is a war between good and evil. It is and will be until the last day. NEWSmusic.ru - You're known as a man indifferent to the events in the country, with its clear position. Do you see yourself in the future, perhaps? With some other authorities, for example, a consultant on specific topics, such as the leader of the "Okean Elzy" Vakarchuk is a cultural advisor to Ukraine Yu.Sh. - If a power that I do not see myself in politics. Under a government I can see its flaws. And the most important law, including the press, not to speak about the merits and weaknesses - for the press came up with, in my opinion. His job is not "applaud" a government. There must always be to the opposition, there must be two opinions. We have, unfortunately, I see only rarely. We must teach people to think for themselves, rather than imposing a point of view or generate hatred of an alleged foreign enemy. It is very important to think globally. Indeed, peacekeeping, called Past events show in pure form - then narrow their value. It was a full-scale peacekeeping actions to which all parties in the past political parties. Shevchuk persuaded to come to Moscow to Georgian singer Nino Katamadze speak with the group "Insight". Nino was laconic. His short set of two surprisingly touching improvisational songs that they played under the motto "A time to love." She sang in the Georgian. Then thanked the audience for "all" and said goodbye. Ossetian side was represented by vocal and instrumental music and dance ensemble "Iriston." The costumes boys showed two rooms, for which already captured stunning space male vocal duo and implementation of national dances. To attend the concert and invited Shevchuk of Kiev group "The Brothers Karamazov". He said he was scared, "as if we have done something wrong with the Ukraine, for example, in the Crimea." With Karamazov "DDT" Summer 30 Ukrainian cities drove with similar peacekeeping concerts. As Shevchuk, "engaged in public diplomacy, shouted lustily, that we are brothers and Ukraine." The same idea was announced in Moscow itself Ukrainian band, the song with the words: "Hello. Love you, brother and sister" As the Ukrainian leadership in Moscow at a concert with a short sermon for peace by Deacon Andrei Kuraev, who said that in a war initiated by the player, the Fire, "a victim of someone who shoots." He declared Shevchuk before the concert was speaking at a press conference with news correspondents Music of intent "DDT". NEWSmusic.ru - concert program called "Do not shoot." Shoot at you not to, more importantly, pay attention to the problem of war, to ask questions, talk talk about problems in horror or something to show, according to Boris, about love, humanity, light, we must uphold the universal values to appeal? Yu.Sh. - We have to defend their home, but only if zastuchat boots on our doorstep. I assure you that if an enemy attack Russia will for the violation of the border, I have the weapons and defend their country. While by an enemy I. Do not have a specific in mind And, more importantly, to sing ... I think, to save him from alcoholism, any good. And thus there was no war - to. Olympic Concert After these words, the first half of the track list of "DDT" largely of hard songs full of nervous, "We", "The Battle", "Church Without Crosses", "Pops". Shevchuk sang a few new songs written, including, for the last month. Virtually "ramshtaynovskogo" effected by agreement "Beast" Yuri in a black mask, depicting the image of a ruthless militarized "new owner", "kill the flies." The premiere of the song "New Russia", as tough civic, patriotic. A result of the first part of the band has a new song, saying: ". Make love step more difficult than winning the war, enter the world, the world that you call, enter the name of their country, and if the name." Hate "- to fight me, curse and cry And if the name." love "- then the Lord is with you" In the second part of his presentation "DDT" played many old songs, lyrical, only appealing to universal values, love Beauty, "Wind", "autumn", "love." Suddenly Shevchuk sang "Autumn" that refuses to play for many years, so pleasantly surprised fans, not in the fact that the song seemed to hear once in concert. Now, when adding two songs sounded like an opportune suitable for connection: "Home" and the title "Do not shoot", for a joint appearance on stage Ossetian participants of the concert "Iriston." About his role, the leader of the "DDT" often says he does not want to be a politician and tell people how to live. His job, he was "the most important human value." But what to listen to millions of people in our country Shevchuk will not deny anyone. Therefore, it is difficult to overestimate the importance of this was classy of the "DDT" initiated action in the world. And hope really want that on this evening, 20,000 people, the "Olympic" led to believe that the post-conflict and should not try to punish the guilty, not to take revenge and not to create a confrontation, and power to find love without conditions, not succumb to provocations and forgive yourself and other errors. At least, that's what speaks and sings Shevchuk for many years. Andrew Sushinsky, NEWSmusic.ru Photo - Anton Belitsky, NEWSmusic.ru
