The footage was published on his social networks by the lead singer of the Bi-2 group, foreign agent Egor Bortnik* (known as Lyova Bi-2).

Earlier, the head of the consular department of the Russian Embassy in Bangkok, Ilya Ilyin, said that the Russian diplomatic mission promptly organized a visit to the Russian participants of Bi-2, but they refused to hold the meeting.

Russian Consul General in Phuket province Vladimir Sosnov said that Bi-2 musicians will be deported from Thailand for holding concerts without a work permit.

Also, a court in Thailand sentenced the musicians of the Bi-2 group to a fine of $85.
