There would be a lot to say about this concert but I have the feeling that I must start this post by talking politics. :-/
An information has been widely relayed by the media these days and I shall say something about that: Minsk Police confiscated the spectators' Ukrainian flags before the show... This is unprecedented!
No need to say that Ukrainians were a bit frustrated and that Belarusians were very sorry - That's the feeling I had when I exchanged with friends who were there.

Of course, this has to do with the situation in Ukraine... (I am afraid this is a typical Westerner's point of view... Sorry!) But, as I told to my friends: 'The Ukrainian flag bloods in your veins when you are singing Okean Elzy songs: to wear it is a must, not a necessity... What is important is that you were there, celebrating all together the 20 Years of your favorite rock-band. The show was amazing?... Your attention should focus on this good moment only!'

Ok. I realize that this sounds too simplistic... but Okean Elzy music brings nations together: It is a bridge accross differences, its light reaches your heart and for a while you leave your problems behind... You should never feel sad after the show!

Having say that, it is time to share some pictures!
Let me introduce you to the attendees of this event...
