Their concerts were banned in Serbia recently and were apparently also banned before in Moscow, Leningrad and Minsk because of pressure from church because their music is ‘‘satanic’’.
Since I read this reason why they were banned, I immediately knew it’s the the usual bullshit, church call everything it doesn’t like ‘‘satanic’’, they ban it etc.
So what are your thoughts on them?
Product of the split becoming a meme there are some other Batyushka bands that claim to be the “true” one, funnily enough including one supposedly from Russia that is extremely pro SMO in their albums, portraying Putin as some medieval orthodox prince/hero.
