Eurovision 2017 participant stands up for Kozlovsky

Zhenya Galich, the leader of the band O.Torvald, which is set to represent Ukraine at the Eurovision 2017 contest this year, has come to the defence of the world-renowned religious scholar Igor Anatolyevich Kozlovsky, who has been held captive by the DNR for 414 days. The scholar is accused of keeping two live grenades in a bookshelf containing sacred texts from various religions.

The performer decided to bring the case to public attention and attract maximum press coverage, hoping that this will yield results.

Galich published information about the scholar and a campaign in his support on his Instagram page.
