The scandal surrounding the Quest Pistols concert in Spain: The soloist denies the rumors
The scandal surrounding the Quest Pistols performance in Spain
The well-known blogger Bohdan Bespalov caused a wave of indignation, saying that the Ukrainian band Quest Pistols allegedly performed for the Russians in Spain in June of this year. The reaction was immediate, because such statements cast doubt on the musicians' pro-Ukrainian position.
Anton Savlepov: Answer to the accusations
The band's soloist Anton Savlepov quickly reacted to these accusations, denying all the rumors and emphasizing that the performance in Spain was organized by Ukrainians and was open to everyone. "This is a principled position for us, " Savlepov noted.
"During the entire performance, the band members communicate exclusively in Ukrainian, " Savlepov emphasized.
Devotion to the Ukrainian language and culture
Despite the fact that Quest Pistols still has several Russian-language songs in their repertoire, the musicians are actively working on creating content in Ukrainian. "We are actively working to ensure that there are no songs left in the old sound. I, as a solo artist SAVLEPOV, also release my material exclusively in Ukrainian, " added Savlepov.
Fan relations
The band's soloist also emphasized that after the concerts, he only takes pictures with those fans who address him in Ukrainian. This once again confirms their clear pro-Ukrainian position.
Anton Savlyepov's personal drama
Savlyepov also shared a personal story that reinforces his position: "My brother was abducted by the Russian military, and another has been at the front since 2014. After everything my family has faced since 2022, having a relationship with the Russians is beyond my understanding." **
It's a reminder of how important the values and positions we stand for are, especially in difficult times. Quest Pistols continue to stand firm, defending the Ukrainian language and culture, even in the face of baseless accusations.
