Over the two years since inception, BRUTTO has never been able to play in Belarus. As far as back in 2011, BRUTTO's front-man Sergei Mikhalok, the then leader of Lyapis Trubetskoy band, was banned in Belarus after having condemned the Belarus authorities for their crackdown on the opposition and civil society in the aftermatch of the brutal dispersal of December 19, 2010 protests.
