"Rosy hue on rear end - now bound for military service!"
In the world of Russian show business, a significant development has emerged. The popular rapper, known as Macan (real name Andrey Kosolapov), is facing criminal charges for evading military service.
According to reports, Macan has ignored six summonses from the military enlistment office in 2025, making him a draft dodger. As of August 1, 2025, a criminal case may be opened against him under Article 328 of the Russian Criminal Code, which carries a penalty of up to two years imprisonment.
However, this is not the first time such an accusation has been levelled against show business representatives. Some, including Macan, have been accused not only of dodging the draft but also openly admitting to it.
The number of draft dodgers has decreased in recent years, but according to Franz Klintsevich, a military expert and head of the Russian Union of Afghanistan Veterans, tens of thousands of people still avoid conscription in Russia. Klintsevich also noted that publicly admitting to draft dodging could complicate the future lives of these individuals.
In response, Alexander Borodai, a State Duma deputy, has called for tougher measures against draft dodgers, suggesting a metaphorical "kick in the ass" and military service.
