Russian rapper Morgenshtern has been banned from entering Lithuania for 10 years after the government deemed him a potential "threat to national security."
Morgenshtern had been scheduled to perform in Vilnius, the country’s capital, later this month. Vilnius Mayor Valdas Benkunskas welcomed the rapper's entry ban, telling the Kyiv Independent on Nov. 13 that his city is "not a guest house for (Vladimir) Putin worshippers."
"I truly appreciate the decision of the national institutions, by which they expressed a clear position on the absurdity of the situation we had before," Benkunskas said, adding that it would have been Morgenshtern's third concert in Vilnius since the start of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine.
