Fans of the singer Sergei Lazarev are building theories around the news about the artist’s participation in the patriotic concert “For Russia” in Lipetsk. The RuNet recalled the pop star’s statements against the military operation and suspected that Lazarev would not act of his own accord.
The news has spread on the Internet that the singer Sergei Lazarev will take part in a patriotic concert in support of the special operation “For Russia”, which will be held on April 29 in Lipetsk. This was reported by local media, which published a poster of the event.

The announcement upset Sergei Lazarev’s supporters, who do not support the military operation in Ukraine. Upon learning of the performance, they immediately expressed their disappointment with the idol.
Seryozha Lazarev… This is what a huge disappointment looks like.
It turned out to be unexpectedly easy not to pay attention to Kuplinov’s silence, to the silence of Improvisation (although Ars tries to hint and cipher), as if I did not expect any support or participation from them. Of the latter exactly.
But Lazarev… Suddenly it hurts.
However, other fans recalled that the singer was one of the first to openly speak out against the armed conflict on Instagram (part of Meta, whose activities are considered extremist in Russia), but then deleted the post. Netizens shared suspicions about possible pressure on Lazarev.
Che, how is Lazarev?
He is categorically against [военной операции] spoke.
What factors prompted him to change his shoes sharply? Mass hatred? Blackmail?
Something is wrong here…
The Internet has developed a theory that Sergei Lazarev could be threatened with childbirth by surrogate mothers or because of rumors about his bisexual orientation.
I’m really weird. Lazarev spoke against [военной операции], but at the same time will act… Did they threaten his child? Disqualified for being gay? (As far as I understand, this is another secret of polyshinel).
He, it seems, was immediately pressured through the children when he spoke out against it [военной операции].
A classic of Putinism, I can’t condemn it.
Lazarev expressed his position quite clearly.
Assumptions that the singer may appear at patriotic concerts, users of the RuNet have expressed before. Now their suspicions have been confirmed.
5 days ago:
“Remember my words, Sergei Lazarev, most likely, was pressed, and do not be surprised if he appears at the next concert for [vоенную операцию]».
Although many fans sympathize with Sergei Lazarev and do not believe in his sincere desire to support the special operation, critics believe that the singer is an adult and wealthy man who could defend his position.
Earlier, Medialeaks reported on a video in which the leader of the group “Elysium” against the background of white state walls apologized for the white and blue flag at the concert and disowned anti-war speeches on the future.
