Markul (Mark Markul) is a Russian rapper and member of the creative collective "Green Park Gang". He was born on March 31, 1993, in Riga, Latvia.
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.
Markul's Stance on the War in Ukraine
Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Markul spoke out against the war, but without explicitly stating who attacked whom. In Instagram stories, Mark wrote the following:
There will never be people in my circle who can justify what is happening right now... Strength and patience to everyone.
The musician also announced the postponement of his upcoming concerts:
Hello everyone! I have decided to postpone all upcoming concerts, as I see no point in holding them right now. Many of you write to me saying that attending a concert right now is a way to escape for an hour or two from all the nightmare that is happening. But let us not forget about those who cannot escape, those who are currently hiding in basements, and those who do not know whether tomorrow will come for them. Like many of you, I have friends, relatives, colleagues, and fellow artists living in Ukraine. And if you are scared right now because chaos is everywhere, imagine how terrifying it is for them. Let us show solidarity and, instead of seeking distractions, think about what is truly important right now. Peace to everyone. And I hope to see you soon.
For a brief period, Mark would shout "f*** the war" at his concerts.
Thanks to such a cautious civic stance, Markul was fortunate not to land on the blacklists of musicians who spoke out against the special military operation. The musician continues to tour cities across the Russian Federation without hindrance.
He is registered on Roskomnadzor's Gosuslugi portal. This signifies that the Russian state officially monitors and regulates his activities.
