Клубные российские · 15.03.2010
In connection with the upcoming anniversary of Victory Day, famous hard music promoter Viktor Strogonov has released his official statement, clarifying his artistic pseudonym.
Official Statement from Viktor Strogonov:
"Five years ago, I changed my pseudonym by removing the word 'dj Fascist' from posters and flyers and began performing under the name Viktor Strogonov.
To dispel any doubts and speculations, I officially declare again that I have not been a member of any political parties or youth movements of a fascist orientation. I have not engaged in politics and do not intend to do so. I have only engaged in music, developing the styles of techno, hardtechno, and hardcore in Russia and Ukraine (due to this mega-aggressive and uncompromising music, I was previously nicknamed 'fascist' by listeners).
Throughout my musical career, I have promoted a healthy lifestyle and sports. On the eve of the anniversary of the end of the Great Patriotic War, I want to apologize to the veterans of the Great Patriotic War for my earlier use of the word 'fascist'. I appeal to the lovers and admirers of my work and performances: I remain the same inside - I love hard and aggressive music with immense energy. With the same fanaticism as before, I will introduce you to this music and give you as much energy and a part of my soul at my performances.
Be yourselves! See you at the raves!"
