In Russia erupted grave scandal. Russian Authors' Society demanded that the war veterans to pay for what they sang war songs. More precisely, the claim is made to the organizers of the concert, that does not change the facts. Because the execution was public, according to RW, by law, holders of copyright should be expelled. Veterans and the public resent statements made by leaders of major parties.

These are three of a song: "Darkie", "Len, my flax," and "From the heroes of bygone days.

"This is nonsense! It is unacceptable that with those who bear the wonderful song and people sing songs of the Great Patriotic War, someone took a bribe, – said the Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov. – I believe that there simply insanity grows stronger. Matters came to a complete nonsense ".

"I would advise the managers of halls, which can be concerts, not to take any money. Make the most of all for free … It is necessary to release them from any form of payment of royalties "- joins colleague Duma, Vladimir Zhirinovsky.

Meanwhile, in the most RAO argue that not fighting with the veterans, and piracy. Do not allow veterans to sing there is no effort, simply had to conclude a license agreement with RAO. Thus, the problem boils down to the incompetence of the organizers of the event.

"For the legality of the execution of these works of district administration had to get permission to do so by entering into a license agreement with the Russian Authors' Society. That was not done ", – said deputy general director Oleg RW Patrin.

But this objection are: the concert was completely free, so no royalties to pay with anything. Apparently, the final issue will be resolved only in the State Duma, which is already scheduled an emergency meeting of the Council on the Arts.
