Vladimir Kotlyarov, the soloist of the Russian rock band Pornofilmy, will be checked for “extremist” statements on social networks. RIA Novosti writes about this, citing a law enforcement source.

According to him, the denunciation of the musician was written by a resident of Moscow. The police of Dubna near Moscow, where Kotlyarov lives, will be checking.

Even before the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, when Russian military equipment was just being drawn to the Ukrainian borders, Kotlyarov spoke out against the war.

“The war with Ukraine is a huge mistake. Obviously, this aggression is a personal initiative of the leader of our country, who is trying to realize his military ambitions and is completely cut off from the common people. <…> We join all sane people to say once again: NO TO WAR WITH UKRAINE!” — said the musician in an interview with The Insider.

In early July, an unofficial “list of banned artists” appeared in Russia, which is distributed in the chat rooms of concert promoters. It included "Porn Films" and 36 more groups and performers, including "DDT", Zemfira, Noize MC, Oxxxymiron, Monetochka, "Aquarium", Valery Meladze, Anacondaz, "Krovostok" and others.
