SHAMAN responds to accusations of “commercial patriotism”

March 13, 2023

NEVA NEWSAndrey Vandenko, head of the TASS special project “First Persons”, asked uncomfortable questions to SHSMAN. The interpreter Yaroslav Dronov, in response, spoke about the state of his psyche.

Vandenko asked the singer if he created within the framework of “commercial patriotism”. Dronov refuted these accusations and explained that he does not create commissioned works: he writes them sincerely. Millions of views on YouTube, according to the singer, testify to the demand for his work among listeners.

“You can stick any label, but if it was all like that, I think my story would end quickly. Not even on the first song, but on its very first line. People just weren’t listening,” said SHAMAN.

The interpreter also ironically answered the question of whether he suffered from a split personality. Dronov said he now gives interviews to two.
