He spoke about this in an interview with Voice of America. According to the musician, he is not going to set conditions for his return to Russia.
“Who needs me anyway? Yes, by and large. I'm just simply afraid right now. I fear for some of my freedom, for my integrity, but I want to remain active and capable of activity. Unfortunately, in the Russian Federation all this is questionable for me,” says the musician.
He also said that he once refused to perform in Crimea.
“I realized that this is a very unclean situation and by going to Crimea, I risk getting into an international scandal. As a result, I got into a smaller scandal. There was a lot of trouble. Relatively speaking, if a person actively opposed this decision... You know, in Russia there was already such a saying: “Tell me whose Crimea is, and I will tell you who you are.” This is a question such that when applying for a job, people were asked whose Crimea was, and depending on this they decided whether they were professionally suitable or not,” Chistyakov said.
Let us recall that in 1992, in Komarovo, Chistyakov attacked his girlfriend Irina Levshakova, inflicting several stab wounds on her. During interrogation, he stated that she was a witch, from whose black aura he wanted to rid humanity. He spent a year in a pre-trial detention center, was declared insane at trial and, diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, was sent for treatment to a mental hospital.
After the psychiatric hospital, Chistyakov became a member of the now banned Jehovah's Witnesses sect in the Russian Federation.
