In Rostov-on-Don, students from schools and universities were required to come to the concert of Oleg Gazmanov. 1rnd writes about this with reference to the schoolchildren and students themselves.
According to the publication, invitations to the concert were sent through educational chats on behalf of the district administrations. Also, directors of universities and colleges received letters demanding to drive students to events. Thus, the head of the Rostov College of Railway Transport was asked to "send 100 students to participate in the action."
This is not the first time Russian students have been driven to Gazmanov's concert. In August, the same story happened in Belgorod. Then, local colleges and universities were asked to send 165-170 people to the events. Gazmanov himself called the information about the forced attendance of his concert in Belgorod "a vile lie":
“They began to spread the vile lies of Lyubov Sobol, who had fled Russia, about the fact that people (especially students) were forcibly driven to this show. I can’t imagine how so many people can be forced to go to a concert.”
