Krovostok (Кровосток) is a Russian hip-hop group from Moscow, formed in 2003 by artists Anton Chernyak (known as Shilo) and Dmitry Fayn (known as Feldman).
Opposition leader Alexei Navalny frequently acknowledged being a passionate admirer of Krovostok's music. Moreover, the group famously appeared in his vivid hallucinations while recovering in a coma after his nerve agent poisoning.
The Band Krovostok’s Position on the War in Ukraine
The hip-hop group "Krovostok" openly came out against Russia's military invasion of Ukraine. On February 27, 2022, on their official Twitter (now X) account and across other social media channels, the band declared their unwavering solidarity with Ukrainians:
Our deepest sympathy and support go out to the people of Ukraine! Our absolute contempt to Vladimir Putin!
In July 2022, Krovostok's scheduled concert in Moscow was shut down and cancelled by authorities, to which the musicians reacted with characteristic irony on social media:
After being placed on official concert blacklists in Russia, the band has continued touring abroad, performing across European countries, Armenia, Israel, Thailand, and Georgia.
