Tickets will no longer be sold simply to foreign viewers who wish to attend a concert by Maxim Galkin*.
After a comedian was fined for his performance at a Dubai concert, viewers are being asked to sign a special agreement.
Galkin* has banned viewers from filming his performances at concerts, the Telegram channel Mash reports.
This measure is aimed not so much at protecting copyrights, but rather at protecting the foreign agent’s wallet from possible fines, as was the case in Dubai.
After a comedian dropped a pro-Ukrainian slogan from the stage while on tour in the UAE, he was fined 100 thousand dirhams (2.4 million Russian rubles).
Fans must now sign an agreement that states that any spectator "found using a phone during the concert will be ejected from the venue."
The measure is already in effect at the comedian's concerts in the US and Canada.
Enhanced security will be in place to ensure compliance with the terms of the agreement.
Let us recall that not long ago Pugacheva’s husband again attempted to challenge the decision of the Russian Ministry of Justice to include him in the register of foreign agents.
This time, Galkin* stated that he had never been involved in political activity, calling himself a cultural and artistic figure.
* A person recognized as a foreign agent in the Russian Federation.
