We had to tighten security measures during concerts for SVO soldiers
Crimean volunteers are organizing concerts for soldiers in the SVO zone on their own initiative and in compliance with all safety measures. Such performances are not subject to public coverage , military volunteer Nikita Sandalov noted on Crimea 24 , according to a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" We often come up with the proposal . We understand perfectly well that service members generally don't have the time to think about such proposals . But we had a case where the guys themselves suggested it, and last year we put on two concerts for them. This year, they wanted another concert, thought of a location, and organized everything themselves. Our task was simply to come and repeat the concert. But now the need has somewhat diminished due to certain circumstances that are happening, and they simply can't accommodate us , although they would have been very happy," the volunteer noted.
To organize a concert in the North-Eastern Region, several conditions must be met : no more than 20 people can gather in one place , so there must be several venues; the concert must take place indoors and not be announced in advance; and there must be a generator on site to power the equipment.
"Here, we must consider, first and foremost, our shared responsibility , so as not to expose ourselves or the military . And, most importantly, everyone's safety . Anything could happen, but we absolutely do not take any risks; we don't take our artists directly to the line of contact . And while two years ago we held concerts in forested areas , when there weren't so many drones, now, even when the guys tell us they've found a good forested area covered in camouflage nets , we say, 'No, absolutely not.' We'll do anything— an abandoned basement , and so on. In fact, a concert requires a generator supplied by the soldiers. We have speakers, a microphone, and equipment that can be easily connected and used in absolutely any conditions," Sandalov assured.
