Concert director Alexander Benish in conversation with mk. ru shared his opinion on the impact of the Nastya Ivleeva naked party scandal on Russian artists. According to him, top performers such as SHAMAN, Leps And Stas Mikhailov, were not harmed in any way by the incident. He noted that Philip Kirkorovmay have to make concessions after the scandal.

Benish expressed the opinion that Kirkorov, as a top-echelon artist, will not reduce the price of his services due to the current situation, since it will be difficult to raise it back later. He noted the increase in the number of “dances with tambourines” against the background of the difficult situation in the country, although prices for performances during the New Year period increase several times.

The concert director compared the current situation in show business to “agony” as customers do not know where to spend their money. He noted that first- and highest-level artists are scheduled in advance and their popularity is high. However, he also noted the agony among customers who seem to be on their last legs spending money on artists, and opined that this is creating an atmosphere of uncertainty in the industry.
