BTS is not prohibited in Russia. Inside the country, BTS is available to perform. Furthermore, this episode has nothing to do with Moscow, Putin, or anyone else.
Nevertheless, owing to perceived “homosexuality,” the republic of Dagestan has prohibited what was to be a scheduled screening of the group “and so on.
Non-Dagestani idols are often cancelled in the country. Even popular Russian idols like Yegor Krid have been banned for “debauchery.”
To tell you more about the Russian country that barred the band from touring.
Dagestan and Chechnya were the republics that actively attempted to separate from Russia or form Islamic states. (“ISIL in Russia’s perspective”) “(Imaginative+ paraphrase).
Due to safety reasons and attempts to install Sharia Law, numerous Russians have hoped to prevent these republics during the last few decades. These republics are exceedingly conservative, patriarchal, and resistant to change, as well as Moscow, foreigners, and a variety of other issues that have a negative image in Russian culture. (These have long been referred to as “problem republics.”)
The federal administration is wary of initiating a third Chechen conflict since these republics are renowned for having an enormous measure of self-governance.
This does not reflect the country world in general. Just these Caucasian republics are included. It would indeed be incredible if BTS were always planned inside this republic or Chechnya, given the security worries that even Russians have had in the region.
Performances in places like Novosibirsk, Ekaterinburg, Irkutsk, Ulan Ude, Vladivostok, Tomsk, Samara, Kazan, Novgorod, Moscow, St Petersbourg, and others (or its surrounding territories) would not be received with scepticism or outlandish allegations, and it would be warmly welcomed.
At Moscow, BTS performed. In addition, he is warmly welcomed inside the country. There are projects in the pipeline for BTS to play live with in future.
Russia is indeed a vast and diversified country that encompasses all of Northern Asia as well as parts of such Caucasus. It’s quite diversified. Inside this country, politics range from seeking sharia rule to being highly liberal, capitalist, as well as desiring the return of communism, from just being advanced beyond US norms to being very conservative. Orthodoxy, Islam (as in Dagestan and Chechnya, albeit not generally extreme/fundamentalist), Buddhism, as well as Judaism are indeed the official faiths of Russia.
