Popular artist Potap changes stage name

Popular artist Potap (Alexei Potapenko) has changed his stage name. He is now known as Slavic Balagan. 

On his new Instagram page, the musician shared details about his new image. In one of the posts, he stated that he sees himself as the “старшего брата из Восточной Европы” (older brother from Eastern Europe). 

Slavic also failed to fail to mention his roots, noting that in his hometown there is no place for “костюмам, правилам, политике и зарплатам” (suits, rules, politics and salaries). 

Going forward, the artist promised to provide people with entertainment so they can “забыть все эти мелочные формальности Запада” (forget all these petty Western formalities).
