Why It Matters
It is reported that in July, rapper Dzhigan staged a brawl in a country house, during which, according to media reports, he injured a security guard.
In the story of the rapper Dzhigan (Denis Ustimenko-Weinstein), who allegedly staged a brawl while in a state of drug intoxication, shooting at people, outrage is caused not only by the behavior of the star, but also by the fact that he was allowed to fly abroad freely. Metropolitan of the Russian Orthodox Church Leonid (Gorbachev) spoke sharply about this in a post about Dzhigan, who hid in Israel; the entry was published on Telegram.
It was previously reported on September 23 that the rapper took his own staff hostage in a country house. It was alleged that the musician, being in an inadequate state, accused those present of crimes. According to media reports, he also shot at and wounded one of the guards. The children of Dzhigan and his ex-wife, blogger Oksana Samoilova, were hiding in closets at that time. The rapper was later neutralized and taken to a rehab in Israel.
“All this happens in early July. He was not arrested immediately after the crime, but was given the opportunity to leave for Israel. How is that!? How were you released from the country?” — the clergyman wrote in a blog. The Metropolitan was also surprised that Dzhigan, despite his problems with drugs, had access to “weapons.”
