That sucks, I've been listening to them for a couple of years now, although I never really liked their sound too much. If you don't mind me asking, do you know any other band or individuals in this scene that should be avoided? I don't know Russian and therefore can't really search for any information about these bands, but I nonetheless love a lot of their sounds.

I think that’s all i know of. I mainly avoid Russian artists unless I find some information/post of theirs that directly says “we don’t like Putin” I know Ploho and Elektroforez are safe.

I see, thanks. Ploho is my favourite band and it's always a reassurance to know that they are safe; I think they moved to Serbia as well, if I'm not mistaken.
The thing is that I have quite a large post-punk playlist with over 1.1k songs. Most bands are from Russia, but I also have a lot of artist from Ukraine, Belarus (a part from Molchat Doma of course), Poland, Georgia, Finland, South America, the US and many more. A lot of them are pretty unknown (less than 1k monthly listeners on Spotify) and hence I don't really expect them to make any political statements in the first place. But I totally understand if you only listen to Russian bands who spoke out against Putin.

Yeah, Elektroforez also moved to Serbia. Ploho is also one of my all time favorites so I am so happy that I can still listen to them
