Last week, on February 24, a children's party was held in the Victoria cafe in the city of Gryazi, Lipetsk region, which eventually caused outrage among many Russians and a wave of publications in the media.
A video from an event at which children dance to “Ukraine has not yet died” has leaked to the network - these are the words from the song “The Party” by Ukrainian performer Andrey Danilko, known under the pseudonym Verka Serdyuchka.
At the same time, the animators who entertained the kids were dressed in full-length costumes of the monsters Huggy Waggi and Kissy Missy.
The next day, the phone of Alexander Kudinov, director of the Prazdnik detstva event agency, was already torn apart by journalists demanding to explain why “forbidden” music was played at the children's party.
The prosecutor's office also became interested in the situation.
Kudinov was summoned for a conversation with the supervisory authority, and on February 28 he was given a warning and asked to prevent similar incidents in the future.
"Forbidden" at the holiday
Kudinov himself, in an interview with RT, noted that he was not present at the mentioned holiday and found out about the scandal only after the event.
According to Alexander, his subordinates did not have malicious intent, they did not want to harm anyone - nevertheless, work was done with them so that this situation would not happen again.
“An old playlist played at the holiday, which was compiled long before the start of the special operation (the mentioned song is from the 2003 album. -
RT
).
Now the songs of Verka Serduchka, of course, no one would put on purpose.
But this song, “The Party,” began to play - children and adults just continued to dance and have fun, not paying attention to the music, and it all got on the video, ”said the head of the event agency.
The same video from the event
“Our animators after each event send reports to the closed chat - including videos, so that we can make sure they work well, make changes to the program if necessary.
From this chat, the video leaked to the social network, ”Kudinov added.
Recall that after the start of the NWO, the songs of Verka Serduchka were repeatedly proposed to be banned for the anti-Russian position of the performer Andrei Danilko, and in April 2022, the singer was banned from entering Russia for 50 years.
Huggy Waggi toys have also been repeatedly criticized: many Russians consider the colorful monsters from the horror game Poppy Playtime to be inappropriate entertainment for young children, and in December 2022, popular toys began to be withdrawn from sale due to the discovery of dangerous substances in them.
By the way, in the Lipetsk region, just last weekend, a huge effigy of Haggi Waggi was burned - according to tradition, local residents every year burn dolls depicting evil and negative characters on Maslenitsa.
Humanitarian aid for Russian soldiers
Alexander Kudinov himself actively supports the Russian military involved in a special operation in Ukraine.
The man repeatedly took part in the collection of humanitarian aid, its delivery to the Donbass and actions in support of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
In videos recorded during one of these trips to the front line with humanitarian aid by Kudinov, the head of the Lipetsk event agency tells subscribers that he brought warm clothes and essentials.

“In November, my friend and I decided to help our guys in the NWO.
We are both fathers of many children and thought that since we are not on the front line, we will carry humanitarian aid, at least help in this way.
Once a month we collect warm clothes, medicines - then I take a minibus and we drive through the Belgorod region on it, we film the whole process for people who participate in our collections, ”says Kudinov.
He added that all the goods that they transport to the front line are collected on the orders of the fighters and doctors themselves: they make lists of what is needed, and Kudinov announces the collection based on their needs.
For his volunteer activities, the man even received a letter from the mayor of Lipetsk, Evgenia Uvarkina: "For an active civic position and assistance to Russian military personnel who are doing their duty."
