On Friday, March 3, the concert of the scandalous Russian rapper Morgenshtern took place at the Pramogu Arena in Vilnius, during which the audience cursed, used gestures and symbols that violate public order, as well as Ukrainian supporters protested outside the arena, the media “Žmonės.lt” reports.
After the rapper’s concert, it started to spread on the Internet video, which shows the audience chanting uncensored Russian swear words at the musician. It is not known why this happened.
The video also shows how the rapper himself reacts to the screams: “Stop, stop, stop. And why? What did I do? I think it’s disrespectful to the artist.”
Then, the Russian Federation’s explanation of the term “foreign agent” appears on the screen behind the rapper, and Morgenstern leaves the stage for 20 seconds.
The rapper later published a video on the social network platform “Instagram” in which, in response to harsh comments from the audience, he takes off his pants on stage and shows his bare buttocks.

Morgenstern was originally scheduled to perform at the Compensa concert hall, but after it announced that it would not allow the rapper, who favors Russian President Vladimir Putin, into its premises, it was hosted by the Pramog Arena.
Lithuanian lawyer Dainius Žalimas announced on the social network “Facebook” on Friday evening that a pro-Russian audience came to the rapper’s concert using “Z” symbols and other gestures violating public order. In the post, he mentioned that the gathered Ukrainian supporters with flags tried to embarrass the rapper’s fans, but there were no police officers near the arena to monitor the protest.
As Yulia Samorokovskaya, head of the Communications Sub-Department of the Main Police Commissariat of Vilnius District, explained to the media, the police had not received information about the planned protest action at the arena during the concert. She also states that the police did not receive any reports of conflicts near the arena.
However, later, the arena security staff had to remove a 19-year-old man from the event, who had beaten two women in the arena. He was detained, the victims did not need medical help.
Samorokovskaya confirmed that the use of the symbol “Z”, which encourages aggression, is also evaluated: “For distributing or displaying the symbols of Nazi, communist, totalitarian and authoritarian regimes, a fine of 300 to 700 euros is provided for natural persons, and from 600 to 2000 euros for legal entities. “
Russian rapper Morgenstern has been placed on Ukraine’s list of unwanted persons due to threats to the country’s national security.
However, in March of last year, Morgenstern released a new song “12” and a video in which he strongly expressed his stance against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
