Anton Shastun’s Position on the War in Ukraine
Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Anton Shastun chose a stance of silence. On February 24, 2022, the artist published an Instagram post regarding a concert postponement and urging people to cherish one another:
Today the «Improvisation» show was supposed to perform in the city of Saratov. The concert has been postponed. I hope each of you understands why. We will announce a new date soon and will definitely see you. I really want people to take care of each other. And love. There is nothing more important than that. Shastun.
On February 25, another concise post of a generic nature followed: "I want there to be peace!":
As of June 1, 2023, activity on Shastun's YouTube channel was suspended, and the release of all projects was migrated to VK Video.
The war in Ukraine has in no way affected Anton's creative career; he continues participating in numerous TV projects as a guest star and takes part in occasional interviews. Furthermore, as part of «Improvizatory», he actively tours with numerous live performances.
