RAM (Sergey "Dirty Ramirez" Zhelnov) is a Russian rapper and battle rap participant. Born on November 29, 1992, in Nizhnevartovsk, Russia.
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.
Prior to the full-scale invasion, RAM toured extensively in Ukraine.
Dirty Ramirez's Stance on the War in Ukraine
Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Dirty Ramirez spoke out on his Instagram account on February 27, 2022, stating that he is generally against wars (the post was later deleted):
As soon as the problems began to affect every Russian, as soon as the whole world began to view us as murderers, aggressors, only then did I begin to find out the whole truth
In September 2022, after the announcement of partial mobilization in Russia, Ramirez wrote a Telegram post about Russians' fear of defending their right to a peaceful life, while at the same time voicing the narrative of "combined NATO forces" (the post was deleted):
300 thousand people against an entire country and combined NATO forces. The prospects are not encouraging. And the old senile men will not want to back down. Consequently, there is a high chance that we will all end up there as well. In Iran, women risked their lives to go against the government, casting off their hijabs. In Russia, people are afraid to defend their right to a peaceful life. A feeling of doom...
Later, a post appeared saying that "all we were missing here was a war":
And finally—a post by RAM (Dirty Ramirez) published in the RapNews group. Under the cover of the message "peace to the world", he essentially broadcast the narrative: "Ukrainians provoked the war", "both sides are to blame", and other familiar rhetoric shifting responsibility from the aggressor onto the victim:
Just as I thought. Hey Ukrainian folks, you shouldn't be zombies either. Conditionally, even a handshake between EU representatives and Ukrainian officials is considered a provocation by our side. Our government thinks that you perpetually owe us something. Clear enough? But the truth is that other than peace, no one owes anyone anything.
On February 23, 2024, news appeared reporting that RAM congratulated the children of SMO warriors:
As a young father, I began to realize that children are truly the most important thing that all of us have. The other day, I visited a social support fund to see the children of fallen SMO participants. I sincerely hope that I was able to give them not just presents, but a little bit of warmth and joy
RAM (Dirty Ramirez) continues to actively perform concerts across Russia.
