Are "banned" musicians not legalized?

The European Radio for Belarus has tried to find out whether officials lifted the ban on several Belarusian musicians. During the meeting between the leaders of N.R.M., KRAMA, Neuro Dubel and Palac and Aleg Pralyaskouski, the country's main ideologist, the latter admitted the existance of "black lists" and promised to lift the ban for the concerts of disgraced artistes in this country's clubs and stages.

The European Radio for Belarus called Genadz Kurbeka, the chief of ideology department at Minsk City Hall, but he declined to comment on the situation. He said he knew nothing about any "black lists".
