Los Angeles is named as the new location on Little Big’s own website. The group calls the “Generation Cancellation” clip that was also published there an “anti-war manifesto”. The video satirically mocks the Kremlin’s propaganda methods. Little Big has previously criticized the Russian attack on Ukraine.
In 2020, Little Big was supposed to represent Russia at the Eurovision Song Contest with the song “Uno”. However, the event was canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
This message was broadcast on Deutschlandfunk on June 26, 2022.
