SHAMAN’s Wedding in Donetsk: A Symbol of New Russia’s Emergence

Alexander Yakovlev, the first producer of singer Yaroslav Dronov (SHAMAN), revealed in an interview with NEWS.ru that he was surprised by the news of the artist’s wedding in Donetsk. Yakovlev emphasized that SHAMAN has consistently sought to challenge expectations and defy conventional norms.

“The choice of Donetsk likely reflects a ‘fleur of changing history,’ marking the emergence of a new Russia in these regions,” Yakovlev stated. He described the decision to marry there as “cool and healthy,” highlighting the significance of being present in the heart of ongoing transformations.

SHAMAN, whose real name is Yaroslav Dronov, tied the knot with Ekaterina Mizulina, head of the League for Secure Internet, on November 5. The couple opted for camouflage-style attire for their wedding portraits. During their visit to Donetsk, they also attended a service at the Church of Saints Peter and Fevronia, where they received blessings from Archpriest Eugene.
