In February, popular Russian hip-hop artist and activist Oxxxymiron made headlines around the world when he canceled a series of concerts in his home country in protest over the invasion of Ukraine.
Next week, he'll perform a series of charity concerts with proceeds benefitting Ukrainian refugees for a series entitled Russians Against War, or RAW for short.
The concerts will take place outside of Russia due to the government's ongoing suppression of protests against the war. In a video announcing the concerts, Oxxymiron condemned the "total censorship" of the Russian government.

The first RAW concert will take place in Instanbul, Turkey.
