YouTube bans channels of famous Russian singers Gagarina, Leps, Gazmanov and other Kremlin fans

The channels of Kremlin jesters such as singers Polina Gagarina and Yaroslav Dronov, known as Shaman, Oleg Gazmanov, Yulia Chicherina, Grigory Leps, and actor Vyacheslav Manucharov disappeared from the American video hosting giant YouTube. On it, Russians shared their clips and videos, which often included propaganda.

The author of the notorious track "I'm Russian" has already posted his reaction to the company's decision on social media. The blocking of the artists' pages was reported by the Russian outlets.

Not long ago, the music platform Spotify deleted the pages of Gagarina and Dronov. At the same time, the accounts of several Russian rappers were hacked.

This decision of the platforms is attributed to the fact that the aforementioned stars of the Russian scene were included in the EU sanctions list. They have repeatedly demonstrated their support for the war and the Russian political elite.

Dronov commented on YouTube's decision in the same way as he commented on the removal of his songs from Spotify.

"My YouTube channel was blocked because I'm Russian," the Kremlin henchman wrote.

As a reminder, Polina Gagarina performed at propaganda concerts and rallies in honor of the annexation of Ukrainian territories.

Shaman's name can be found on Myrotvorets. He glorifies Putin with his "art" and sings how proud he is to be a Russian. Russian propaganda hit him so much that he became Putin's confidant during the dictator's pseudo-election.
