A popular Russian rapper is dead after refusing to fight in his country’s ongoing war against Ukraine.
Walkie, a well-known Russian rapper whose real name was Ivan Vitalievich Petunin, died on Friday in the city of Krasnodar, according to media reports. The man, who was 27 years old at the time of his death, reportedly died by suicide. Media reports allege he jumped from a high-rise building in the Russian city, which is very near the Black Sea between the nations of Ukraine and Georgia.

According to DailyMail.com, Walkie published a video on Telegram at the time of his death. In it, he informed his fans he’d been drafted into the Russian military to fight in the ongoing Ukrainian conflict. Speaking in Russian, he said that he could not “take the sin of murder on my soul” amid the geopolitical escalation led by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Walkie was evidently one of 300,000 Russian citizens who had been recently drafted by Putin to fight in the war. The outlet reports he had already served in the Russian Army as a younger man and “hated his previous experience so much that he tried to avoid re-enlistment on medical grounds.” That avoidance attempt apparently did not work, though.
In his posthumously-released video, the late rapper explained:
Elsewhere in the video, Walkie worried that Putin’s “partial” mobilization draft could soon turn into a full draft, and many more Russians could be forced to enter the army. That has been a concern echoed by other observers of the conflict — and one that would drastically increase the already-growing worries surrounding this awful war.

Putin Claims U.S. Wants to Push Gender “Perversions” on Russian Youth
LGBTQ Nation.Addressing “all the citizens of Russia,” he said, “Do we want to have, here, in our country, in Russia, parent number one, number two, number three instead of mom and dad? Have they gone mad out there? Do we really want perversions that lead to degradation and extinction to be imposed on children in our schools from the primary grades? To be drummed into them that there are various supposed genders besides women and men, and to be offered a sex change operation? Do we want all this for our country and our children?”Putin’s remarks were a well-timed attempt to blunt criticism from the West of elections, held in Russian-sympathetic territories in eastern Ukraine, in which voters allegedly chose to secede from Ukraine and join Russia.
