"ssshhhiiittt!" (stylized "shit!") is a Russian rock band founded by Nikita Kislov in 2015.
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.
ssshhhiiittt!'s Stance on the War in Ukraine
On March 27, 2022, a concert by the band ssshhhiiittt! was scheduled to take place in Kyiv, but was cancelled for obvious reasons. On April 4, 2022, a post appeared in the ssshhhiiittt! fan group on Telegram (there is no official confirmation that the band members are directly affiliated with this Telegram channel):
We are saddened by what is happening right now on brotherly lands and ask everyone not to stand aside. Many people are in need of medicine and food supplies. Find out about volunteer centers in your cities, offer help. Support each other however you can; this is very important right now. Love will win if each of us takes responsibility for it. The money for the cancelled concerts is held by organizers on the territory of Ukraine and will be refunded to you as soon as the opportunity arises. Strength and good health to all our listeners and friends.
The members of ssshhhiiittt! made no official statements regarding Russia's war against Ukraine, adopting a stance of silence.
The band continues to perform in Russia and neighboring post-Soviet states.
