In June 2024, reports appeared in the media and social networks that at one of the recent concerts, the singer demonstrated the emblem of the Ukrainian military formation banned in Russia. We checked the reliability of this news.
The publications that the Russian singer Ivan Alekseev (better known as Noize MC) put on his concert a T -shirt with the symbols of the Azov brigade began to appear on the network on June 16, 2024. Newspaper "Arguments and facts»Said the news like this:“ Users published a video from this concert in Tiktok. When Noize MC saw at the concert a detailed Ukrainian flag, the musician unfastened the buttons on the shirt, showing the merchant of the Ukrainian nationalist battalion "Azov". " In the note "Azov" is called both the regiment and the battalion, although at the beginning of 2023 it was Reorganized to the brigade as part of the National Guard of Ukraine. Similar publications about Alekseev and the symbols of the military unit were released as Russian ("News" URA.RU, Life.ru, Lenta.ru, Avia.pro, "Tsargrad","360"), And Ukrainian (Obozrevatel.com, UNIAN) media.
The viral video or its screenshots can be found in pro-Russian Telegram channels, among which Readovka (525,000 views), "Zlaya Pruf"(173 000),"Sobolev Live"(58,000) and"Gasparyan"(53,000), as well as on"Picabu"And in" "VKontakte". In many publications, the print on the performer’s T-shirt is either not shown at all or covered, which is why the vast majority of readers did not have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the original image. In addition, different posts indicate different places of the concert. Although most authors reported that Noize MC performed in Valencia, Readovka wrote about Kyiv, and the publication SVTV - About Barcelona.
Subsequently RT And other media reported that activists of the Call of the People's Public Movement called for the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation to start a criminal case on the article on the public justification of terrorism - Azov since August 2022 Recognized In Russia, a terrorist organization, and a demonstration of its symbols is prohibited.
In the part of this parsing of publications on the video mentioned at the beginning of this analysis, there is a Tiktok user's Tiktok user with a username @sergio.marchuk. He Published The initial video with the participation of Noize MC was on May 27 at about 02:40 Moscow time. The description says that the recording is made at a concert that Passed On the eve of Valencia.
The original video lasts 41 seconds. In the first half of the video in its upper part there is an inscription: “Noize MC in the Azov T -shirt # 🇺🇦+🇪🇸”, in the second half, instead of this phrase, the date and place of the show are indicated. In one of his following publications @sergio.marchuk so Explained What was happening on the record: “At the concert, he photographed and laid out an interesting moment: behind me, the guys raised the flag of Ukraine with the coat of arms“ Azov ”and [slogan]“ Glory to the heroes! ”, On which many signatures were visible. <...> After that, Noize MC unfastened his jacket and showed that his T -shirt also says "Azov". "
Although “verified” cannot reliably confirm that the musician unfastened his overalls in response to the Ukrainian flag with the unit's emblem, the Alekseev white T -shirt is actually noticeable, the word “Azov”, written in yellow letters on a blue background. Also on the print you can see a yellow line and two rounded rectangles.
On the network you can find another picture in which the artist is captured, probably, in the same T -shirt as in a viral video. Photo Published User of the social network X with the username @latte4ka, who, judging by Description Her profile, lives in Budapest. “He (noize mc. - Ed.) A month ago, walked around the city in this T -shirt,” the girl wrote on June 17. In the photo behind the group of people, among whom the musician is located building Hungarian parliament and monument Prince Ferenca II Rakocius. In Budapest concert Noize MC Passed May 24, that is, two days before the performance in Valencia.
In this photo, a print on a T -shirt can be considered more thoroughly: for example, notice that the rectangles are similar to the windows. Apparently, the image on the clothes of the musician refers to the corporate party train Azov, which, before the beginning of the full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation, was connected by Kyiv and Mariupol. The same font was used in its design, and in the middle of passenger wagons there is a horizontal strip of yellow.
Thus, Noize MC did not put on his concert in Valencia a T -shirt with a logo or other symbols of the Azov brigade. In fact, there was a print with the logo of the train of the same name on the T -shirt, which, until recently, plying in Ukraine.
The motives by which the musician decided to show his T -shirt to show the listeners are reliably not known. However, it is possible that he really did it after he saw the flag of Ukraine with the emblem of Ukrainian military formation in the hall. “Verified” sent Alekseev a request for a comment, but at the time of the publication of this analysis did not receive an answer.
