Popular singer Andrei Makarevich, who last year played a sold-out concert in Zaporozhye, said that in no case will he tour in the Crimea.

In a recent interview, the musician answered questions from journalists about his position regarding the occupied territories of Ukraine.

The singer said that his position over the past four years has not changed.

"I believe that in today's world, and in any world, an obligatory condition for its stability is international agreements that must be respected. If all of them will not comply, then the devil will know what. A conversation on the topic "but Americans can, so we can" - this is a bad conversation. It turns out that if someone steals, then we will also steal. And this is not a position, "- said Makarevich.

Also, the singer added that after the Crimea was recognized as an occupied territory, he was never there and does not plan. Even if this is with the permission of the Ukrainian authorities, the "Echo of Moscow".

"No, I do not want to go there. I consider this territory occupied, "- the musician answered clearly and clearly.

It is interesting that the leader of the "Time Machine" commented on the position of his colleague in the group, keyboardist Andrei Derzhavin, who in 2014 signed a letter for the annexation of the Crimea.

"No, I assure you, he is infinitely far from this. I do not know why he did it. He can not explain this to himself, "- said the singer.

The singer also noted that his attitude towards the Russian authorities did not change in one day.

"I think it happened not in one day. It was a series of events, a series of some decisions, actions, declarations and other things, "added the musician.

It should be noted that the singer repeatedly expressed his negative attitude towards the Russian authorities and was concerned about the events in Ukraine. But now the singer said that he does not really understand what is happening now.

"Now I always try to tell myself that if an event takes place that you can not directly affect now, try to keep the remnants of your nerves. Otherwise, you can just move with your mind, "- said Makarevich.

Recall that last year, friends Makarevich, namely the musicians of the rock band "Resurrection" were in the base of "Peacemaker".
