Found a country to my liking: comedian Komissarenko fled to Ukraine to “get dirty”
Belarusian stand-up comedian Slava Komissarenko, who has been performing in Russia in recent years, announced at a concert in Kyiv that he would not return to Moscow.
The comedian said that the Belarusian KGB wants to kidnap him there, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“A person connected with the Belarusian protests wrote to me. He wrote me a message: “Hello, Slava. Unfortunately, there is information from reliable sources that they are going to kidnap you in Moscow and take you by car to Belarus. Be careful,” Komissarenko said.
Komisarenko is known for making unfunny jokes about Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, calling him Chyk-Chyryk. In general, his monologues boil down to retellings of the propaganda of the Belarusian opposition in the style of the Polish telegram channel “Nechta”.
Last November, he gave an interview to liberal Russian blogger Yuri Dud in which he praised the self-proclaimed “leader of the Belarusian nation” Svetlana Tikhanovskaya.
A year ago, Komissarenko’s tour certificates for performances in Minsk were revoked.
