Participants of Russian concerts in support of the war in Ukraine claim that they were not paid the promised fees

Poets Maria Vatutina and Igor Karaulov, who participated in the patriotic marathon “For Russia,” claim that they received fees that were an order of magnitude less than what was in the estimates, reports Radio Liberty.

They do not rule out that millions allocated for patriotic concerts could have been “cut up.”

According to the estimates, Vatutina and Karaulov were to receive $9 and $300 respectively for a series of seven performances. However, in reality, according to them, the amounts of their earnings in the marathon were calculated in double figures.
Another participant in the concerts, who asked not to be named, also reported the amount of fees for several performances was “several times less” than indicated in the estimate.

Maria Vatutina has already contacted the program organizers for clarification, but has not yet received a response. “If it was cut, which has not been proven, of course, it will be very disgusting,” she said, adding that she did not doubt for a minute her participation in patriotic concerts, since this is her civic position.

Earlier, the media, having studied data from the government procurement portal, found that the state spent more than $1,5 million on the music marathon “For Russia” in support of the “special operation” in Ukraine. This is the most expensive contract ever concluded in Russia to pay for the concert program, as journalists note.

At the same time, more than one tenth of all fees went to the rock group “SerGa”, which played as many as seven concerts, and the most expensive was the performance of the group “Uma2rman” in Barnaul, for which they paid more than $62.
