Instagram deleted Shnurov's page after the scandal with Sobchak

The page of the leader of the Leningrad group, Sergei Shnurov, disappeared on Instagram on February 2. The social networking site noted that it was no longer available.

On his page, musician Sergei Shnurov published scandalous clips about garbage collection in St. Petersburg and TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak. She gave a detailed answer on her page to the insults that were addressed to her in the Shmarathon video.

Simultaneously with the blocking of the Instagram page, the clip disappeared from the VKontakte social network. Sergei Shnurov himself did not comment on the blocking of the page and the deletion of the video.

As of 6:30 Moscow time on February 3, Shnurov's Instagram page has been restored. But there are only three old posts left in the account.

The history of the conflict between Ksenia Sobchak and Sergei Shnurov began after the divorce of the frontman of the Leningrad group from his third wife Matilda. Then the journalist, who was on friendly terms with both Shnurov himself and Matilda, tried to publicly persuade the musician to make peace with his wife. At one of the concerts of the Leningrad group, Sobchak took the microphone and asked those present to shout in unison: “Make peace with Matilda.” When the union of the artist and the ballerina officially broke up in August 2018, the TV presenter sided with Shnurov's wife.
