Gazan (Konstantin Zhukov) is a Russian singer, songwriter, and video blogger. He became widely known thanks to viral tracks such as «Che za lev etot tigr» («Че за лев этот тигр»), «Abonent nedostupen» («Абонент недоступен»), and «Bambaleylo», which gained massive popularity across social media. He was born on May 10, 1995, in Moscow.
Listening to this artist's tracks on official streaming platforms, social media, and other services indirectly contributes to financing the war — through taxes paid to the budget of the Russian Federation.
Gazan's stance on the war in Ukraine
Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Gazan made no public statements regarding the military aggression, choosing a stance of silence.
On June 22, 2023, he reposted a text by the propaganda singer SHAMAN about the horrors of the Great Patriotic War. The phrase «something like this must never happen again» sounded particularly hypocritical against the backdrop of Russia's military aggression against Ukraine, about which the singer did not utter a word.
In a 2024 interview, Gazan spoke enthusiastically about SHAMAN, calling him a "very good", "decent", and "well-mannered" person. The artist admitted that they were seriously preparing a joint collaborative track (feature), discussing musical directions and sharing materials, though the project was delayed due to SHAMAN's busy schedule.
Visits to Crimea
Between 2022 and 2024, Gazan illegally visited the Crimean peninsula, which constitutes a violation of international law and Ukrainian legislation, and is perceived as legitimizing the Russian occupation of Crimea.
The artist continues living and working in Russia, actively touring across Russian cities.
