Zolo explained the detention in Donetsk with a T-shirt with prohibited symbols.

Blogger Ivan Zolo (Ivan Zolochevsky) said that he was detained after a concert in Donetsk because of a T-shirt with prohibited symbols. He wrote about this on October 18 in his Telegram channel.

"Dear friends, an unpleasant situation occurred today at a concert in Donetsk," the performer wrote.

According to the artist, he bought the T-shirt back in 2022 and did not know about the meaning of the images contained on it.

He explained that he had previously bought a T-shirt at a hip-hop clothing store and shot a video in it. Later, he was informed that the items had Satanic symbols on them (the movement was recognized as extremist and banned in the territory of the Russian Federation). The artist admitted his guilt, promised to remove all videos related to this attribute, and dispose of the T-shirt.

He also said that he was fine, but the concert in Mariupol had been postponed. The rest of the scheduled performances, according to him, remain on the schedule.
