Morgenstern and Khovansky. Two coprophagous pair
The notorious rapper Morgenstern “warmed up” blogger Yuri Khovansky, who is in jail on charges of supporting terrorism, in the amount of 666 thousand rubles to pay for lawyers’ services. The blogger’s girlfriend Maria Nelyubova spoke about this on her Telegram.
In early June, it became known that millionaire blogger Khovansky was detained as part of a case under Part 2 of Art. 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Public calls for terrorist activities, public justification of terrorism or propaganda of terrorism.”
The outrageous video blogger, who loves dancing on bones to the applause of sad-spirited human larvae, this time went not only beyond the boundaries of human morality, but also the law, performing a song glorifying the terrorist attack in the theater center on Dubrovka in 2002.
In early June, the Dzerzhinsky District Court of St. Petersburg authorized Khovansky's arrest for two months. In August, the Kuibyshevsky District Court extended the arrest.
The specific popularity of blogger Khovansky began to grow in 2011 from his YouTube account, where he posted scandalous videos, clashed with colleagues, organized online drinking bouts and promoted the game GTA Roleplay to the masses.
However, a slightly different format brought “fame” to Khovansky. The blogger, with the help of a support group, began to cruelly troll fans of the late Viktor Tsoi, causing tons of hatred from some subscribers and a storm of delight from others.
Having ridden to his heart's content on Tsoi's bones, Khovansky took on another dead man - the frontman of the group "King and the Clown" Mikhail Gorshenin. Having aroused hatred and stirred up emotions in the camp of KiSh fans, Khovansky switched to the ex-vocalist of the American deathcore group Suicide Silence Mitch Lacker and the Russian satirist Mikhail Zadornov, saying that “I don’t feel sorry for Zadornov, because he is an intolerant racist and fascist, a Russian nationalist.”
The indignant reaction of fans and simply people who do not accept mockery of the dead only contributed to the growth of Khovansky’s popularity. Very soon the boy became a millionaire on YouTube, receiving a silver and gold button as a reward from the world's largest video hosting site.
Egged on by subscribers - “is it hard to troll someone alive with big fists?” - Khovansky, who had imagined himself, in the already familiar Gopnitsky style, began to insult and challenge the famous MMA fighter Fedor Emelianenko to a fight.
To Emelianenko’s credit, it should be noted that he did not respond to the antics of the YouTube monkey, and Khovansky himself caused a sharp outflow of subscribers and a lot of sarcastic remarks about the chicken shoulders and sad tummy of the network wrestler with celebrities.
Khovansky did not give up online trolling, but in 2014 he decided to try rapping, while simultaneously provoking conflicts with other performers. At the same time, the boy fueled the hatred, insulting not only the performers, but also their families.
Around the same time, rapper Morgenstern was among the people who were in conflict with Khovansky.
From that moment on, Khovansky had to live, constantly looking over his shoulder: not only the performers began to beat him, but also representatives of the labels for which they worked, as well as other video bloggers.
Illegibility in words gradually led Khovansky to illegibility in actions, which is why even his loyal subscribers took up arms against him.
Khovansky’s fans have more than once gone over to the side of the blogger’s opponents, many have unsubscribed from his channel. They cited the reason for this not only as abusive language directed at their opponents, but also as continuous advertising of scams, financial pyramids, dubious bookmakers and the famous “radioactive” headphones – a counterfeit of Beats by Dre products, legendary among netizens.
Khovansky himself did not particularly hide the fact that he was ready to advertise anything if they paid for it.
“I’m ready to advertise anything for money. At least I don’t hide it,” he stated more than once in his videos, but at the same time added that he is an honest taxpayer.
Khovansky even launched a special website through which anyone could order advertising from him for just 50 thousand rubles.
Gradually, drunkenness and drunken antics became Khovansky’s daily feature, so that he began to conduct his video blog more and more often in a state of alcoholic stupor, which began to cause massive indignation among viewers.
Khovansky’s former friend and colleague Stas Vasiliev, known under the pseudonym “Oh, How Simple,” added fuel to the fire by telling the public about his “idol’s” drug addiction. From Vasiliev we learned about Khovansky’s song about the terrorist attack on Dubrovka.
In general, everything turned out the same way that at the beginning of June 2021, a group of operatives came to Khovansky’s apartment with an arrest warrant issued by the court.
On the set of the operational video recording, it is noticeable that provocative video blogging brought Khovansky to the extreme degree of degradation: in an apartment cluttered with bottles and household garbage, on a dirty floor, a frightened organism lay face down, asking to take into account that he was currently under the influence of drugs.
It should be clarified that Khovansky, having learned that information about the song about the terrorist attack had received wide publicity, began to delete all links and mentions of it.
True, after a conversation with the Investigative Committee, he nevertheless admitted that he actually composed a song glorifying the terrorist attack, and now he repents of it.
I wish I could repent. For such antics, Khovansky faces 7 years in prison.
It’s interesting that after Khovansky’s arrest, bloggers who were previously hostile to him suddenly became sympathetic and declared that Yura was mainly an enemy of his liver and that the boy should not be punished so severely for some song that was not written for the general public.
This song, they say, “would not have offended or offended anyone if it had not been dug up and shown to everyone.” And so, the maximum that Khovansky is capable of is “just breathing fumes in your direction.”
The “Progressive Public” organized a movement with the thematic hashtag #Freedom for Khovansky and is increasingly demanding that the seven years of the penal colony be replaced with a fine.
Separately, the arguments of the defenders that “the party has turned its back on him” are touching. By the way, in 2019, Khovansky became an assistant to LDPR deputy Vasily Vlasov. And this, they say, is “pure politics.”
Three decades have passed since “getting rid of totalitarianism,” and the grown-up children still haven’t understood that freedom of speech comes with responsibility and is very different from the freedom of the bazaar.
Apparently, Morgenstern, who is facing a court fine of 100 thousand rubles for promoting drugs, also has his face in the cannon, and his financial support for Khovansky’s lawyers is rather aimed at strengthening his shaky image among the liberal blogosphere and other “socially close” people who have stood up for Khovansky's defense.
Much about Morgenstern’s motives is revealed by his recent assistance for the expensive treatment of three-year-old Ilya Khudoba from the Krasnoyarsk Territory, who suffers from a rare disease - spinal muscular atrophy.
From the rapper's statement on his YouTube channel:
“I decided to help Ilya not because I am a good and kind boy, but because I am a creature, a nit and scum. I honestly admit to you that I had big problems with the police because of the drug propaganda case. When all this fuss began, information reached me from a very trusted source that they wanted to [fuck] me. Specifically, to plant drugs. I shit myself like a creature in general. You know those stories when people are imprisoned for no reason. This is normal in our country. Why did they actually want to [fuck] me? Because there was no evidence that I was somehow promoting drugs. Can you imagine the news that drugs are found on me? Everything would fall into place: they are heroes, they punished Morgenstern, this devil.
At that moment, one person working in the authorities sent me a fundraiser for Ilyukha and said: “Look, this child’s mother is a police major. Help with something and you will earn points!” Actually, that’s how I made my first transfer – 3 million rubles. I didn’t talk about him anywhere because I was just ashamed. I did it not because I wanted to, not from the bottom of my heart, not from the soul, but I did it to be safe. Look, I’m helping the child of a police major, please don’t give me drugs. This is how my story as a great philanthropist began. The treatment costs 168 million. This is the most expensive medicine in the world.
Frequently asked questions: “Why do you shout everywhere that you are so fucking rich, but you can’t completely close this collection yourself? And why don’t you help millions of other children?” I honestly want to tell you that I don’t have [too much] money at the moment. I bought a house. Do you know how much it costs? The same amount as Ilyukha’s injection. The wedding cost more than twenty [million rubles]. You've probably seen the clips? There is no need to say what their price is. If I close this collection, I will have nothing to live on later. I’ve already donated more than 15 lyams to Ilyukha.”
That's all charity is. 15 million rubles to the unfortunate child of a police officer, so that the authorities would not prosecute him for promoting drugs, 666 thousand to Khovansky’s lawyers, in order to continue to remain a handshake among “gays, bloggers and independent journalists.”
Such frankness, in theory, should definitely bury the career of any celebrity. And there are some prerequisites for this: Russian concert venues are increasingly refusing Morgenstern to perform under public pressure. Parent organizations achieved the cancellation of the rapper's concerts in ten regional and regional capitals, including Novosibirsk, Orel, Krasnodar, Khabarovsk, Vladivostok. There is evidence that Morgenstern’s performances have been canceled in five more cities.
True, this was officially done “for sanitary reasons during a pandemic,” but the fact that the public opposed “cultural events” that carry drug propaganda, an antisocial lifestyle and obscene language to fragile minds cannot but rejoice.
On the other hand, the passivity of some responsible people, who continue to adhere to “lack of ideas” in their decisions, and in fact, encouragement of bullying, is unpleasantly surprising when Morgenstern comes to a court hearing in an 18 million car to pay a hundred thousand fine.
Don't you feel offended by the authority of the state?
