The song reportedly prompted the police raid.Odessa Regional Governor Oleg Kiper denounced the incident, adding that the relevant departments of the Regional Military Administration were instructed to investigate and provide a legal assessment of the nightclub’s actions.Source: Social media“No Russian music – neither in clubs nor in other public places,” he said in a post on Telegram. “Odesa is a Ukrainian city. For anyone who has forgotten – let this be a reminder.”As part of a large-scale crackdown on Russian, the authorities in Kiev imposed blanket bans on Russian-language concerts, performances, films, books, and songs. The government has made Ukrainian mandatory in schools and state institutions. Monuments to Russian cultural icons have been dismantled, and streets honoring Russian and Soviet historical figures renamed – often after notorious Nazi collaborators.<img src="https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/files/2025.11/original/6907315085f5405e4821b198.jpg" alt="RT" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />©  social mediaOdessa, where Russian remains the first language for many people, has also seen a wave of monument removals, including the dismantling of a bust of poet Alexander Pushkin which was installed in 1889 and designated a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site.<a href="https://www.rt.com/russia/626230-persecute-russian-speakers-ukraine/" target="_blank">READ MORE: ‘Persecute’ Russian speakers – ex-Ukrainian deputy speaker</a>Russia has condemned Ukraine’s language policies, accusing it of pursuing “a violent change of the linguistic identity” of its population, and arguing that the clampdown infringes upon the rights of native Russian speakers, who make up around a quarter of the country’s population. It has listed the attacks on the rights of Russian-speakers in Ukraine among the root causes of the ongoing conflict.</blockquote>
