Yandex Music removed Leibonik's album due to censorship. The band found a way out in the style of "blank spots."
The Russian streaming service didn't like the track "Hramadzianin" with harsh wishes for Russian soldiers.

The popular streaming service "Yandex Music" in Belarus has removed the album "Tam" by the band Leibonik. Moreover, it did so due to censorship.
"At the end of spring, "Yandex Music" (the most popular streaming service in Belarus) removed the song HRAMADZIANIN without warning, and with it the entire album TAM," said the band's frontman Sergey Bashlykevich on Instagram.
The musician found an elegant way out of the situation, in the style of newspapers with blank spaces. He replaced "Hramadzianin" with the track "Nema". This is an instrumental version of the song that the censors didn't like. So everyone can sing it in karaoke format.
"At first I thought about simply removing the song from the album or slightly correcting the lyrics, but still, a song without words will sound more eloquent. And therefore, for "Yandex Music," the album TAM is being re-uploaded in the TUT edition - where the flute NEMA takes the place of "Hramadzianin"," writes Bashlykevich.
What could "Yandex Music" not have liked? It is quite possible, wishes to the Russian military who invaded Ukraine. One of the verses of the track "Hramadzianin" sounds like this:
“Хто на Кіеў у БТРы едзе ўночы
Хай вернецца ў Растоў, але не вернуцца вочы
Хай хлопец заўральскі абдыме дома мамку
А ногі хай пакіне пад Сумамі ў танку
Хай збіты пад Харкавам у верталёце
Калі зможа, напіша: Абгарэў на рабоце
Хай Чорнае мора каскамі пазасыпе
Астраханскага духа ў самым поўным экіпе».
