Reasons
He is known as the main "patriotic" artist of russia and the "voice of the special military operation". His songs are in tune with the narratives of the russian authorities and propaganda.
He systematically supports russia's armed aggression against Ukraine, putin's policies and the kremlin regime. He regularly performs at pro-kremlin concerts and pro-war propaganda events in support of russia's war in Ukraine, and is proud to perform the russian national anthem on the same stage as putin.
He was putin's confidant in the 2024 presidential election. In December 2023, he took part in the congress of the election group to nominate putin as a presidential candidate, where he performed the russian national anthem. Also on election day, he appeared at one of the polling stations wearing clothes with a "Z" symbol.
In the fall of 2022, he recorded his song "Let's Rise" and a propaganda video for it together with other pro-government russian pop stars who support russian aggression against Ukraine.
During his performance of the song "I am russian" at a solo concert in St. Petersburg, which was broadcast live on Channel One, he pressed the symbolic red button in a fake nuclear suitcase.
He regularly visits the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine with propaganda concert tours. In August 2022, on the day of the russian national flag, he performed the russian anthem in the temporarily occupied Crimea. In August 2023, he performed in the temporarily occupied Crimea at the Tavrida-Art festival, and in December 2023, he visited the temporarily occupied Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine.
In May 2024, he received the russian Ministry of Defense's award in the field of culture and art in the Musical Art nomination for "high skill in performing patriotic songs."
In July 2024, putin awarded Dronov the title of Honored Artist of russia ahead of schedule, which is awarded only after 20 years of creative activity. The ceremony of awarding Dronov with the Honored Artist of the russian federation badge took place in the Catherine Hall of the Senate Palace of the kremlin with the participation of First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Sergei Kiriyenko. Dronov commented on receiving the award saying: "I serve russia! Victory will be ours!"
