Jinjer’s Eugene Abdukhanov: “I saw things I thought you would only see in movies”

[@fjolagu]

We all know how horrible things are and have been in Ukraine but to hear Eugene tell his story is absolutely heartbreaking 💔 😥

[@jenniferknight1198]

Hearing Eugene’s first hand experiences was very emotional and heartbreaking. But we all definitely need to hear these stories. Many thanks to Eugene for opening up and sharing his experience and mental state during these times. 💙💛🇺🇦

as Robert said, amazing musicians, outstanding human beings > the whole band! stay safe

*No... he is a Russian collaborator* ❗

[@neilpatrickhairless]

This was a hard interview for him... You can tell he's going through some heavy shit.

[@module79l28]

Poor Roman and Sasha. If it's hard to imagine what Roman went throught because of his parents, I can't even begin to imagine what Sasha went through being inside Mariupol's hell! : ( No need for thank yous, Eugene, as far as we the portuguese are concerned, we are helping in any way we can. We have been sending tons and tons of food, clothes, medical supplies and other most needed things right from the start but most importantly, we welcomed your fellow countrymen, women and children refugees with open arms, we are taking good care of them and we are more than happy to receive anyone who wants to stay with us, temporarily or permanently. I don't know if you know but there's a big Ukrainian community here since the late 90's and they've been extremely important in making the refugees feel a bit "at home", knowing that there's a relative, a friend or simply someone who talks the same language anywhere they're placed. Slava Ukraina!

Great interview. Thanks for sharing. I stand with Jinjer. I stand with Ukraine. To hell with Pootin. 💙💛

All love to you Eugene (and the rest of the band and touring company) Slava Ukraina!

Fuck man... No innocents should ever pass through this type of hell.... I feel so broken for you guys... I only watched this today, but this explains why Roman was looking so apprehensive when i met him and Vlad, before the gig in Lisboa, few days after this interview. One thing i know for sure, Jinjer gave, here in Lisboa, PT, one of the most powerful and heartfelt (even transcendent) concerts i ever witnessed in my 41 years of existence... They are genuinely, musical BEASTS (in the good sense of the word, of course), and i would like to give a special shoutout to their AWESOME manager Allen Jr., who presented himself to me there (since i didn´t know who he was), we had a little chat and he was one of the coolest and kindest persons i have ever met in my life. A man with a big heart, and since he is been their manager for 6 years to this day, a lot of Jinjer´s success and greatness is also, much thanks to him and all the remaining crew/friends/families, of course! So, THANK you Allen, Vlad, Roman, Tatiana, Eugene, and also my good portuguese friends, Otelo and Rusty, for contributing for one of the greatest nights of my life... We felt everything that night... You are always very welcome here. Portugal Loves Ukraine and JINJER!!! FUCK THE WAR AND FUCK POOTIN, AND ALL THE POOTINS OF THIS WORLD!!!!!!!!!! André Landeck Caiado

amazing musician, outstanding human being!

[@horizonblack]

War. Humanity at it's worst. Music. Humanity at it's finest. I know where I stand.

[@mrgoatbeard]

I can confirm the mood changes on his experiences...like when he was trying to drive to safety, you are scared, confused, but more than anything else, just pissed off like why the hell are you shooting at me. Love ya Eugene glad all you guys are safe and wish the best for your family and hope they are all safe as well.

Eugene keeping it 💯 with us and the world.

GREAT interview Arto

*No... he is a Russian collaborator* ☠️☠️☠️

[@kylefrandsen2665]

This is the first time I've seen Eugene since his post just after the invasion. I'm glad to see he got out. My heart bleeds for the people of Ukraine. I was outside the bank in North Hollywood in 1997 when the shootout started there and I can still remember the sound of bullets whizzing past my head. I know even this was just a few minute glimpse of what he's experiencing. Eugene, if you see this message, get some counseling immediately to help limit PTSD.

[@jasonberrios8607]

Fucked up world we live in... I hope the best for your homeland, family, and friends back in Ukraine

[@badgrandma6973]

Poor baby...it just breaks my heart! PTSD...it's real.

[@jewgeniroudenko2190]

Deep interview for a very important topic! Great human beings. Let's spread the word and help in all ways we can. God bless you all!

[@davidcarberry3547]

glad to see the guys safe for now , rock on guys you are awesome, i think they are doing the best for there country what they are doing right now

[@danielstucky3794]

Man,that is absolutely heartbreaking. I have never felt so strongly for a great group of people that I have only had the chance to see and thankfully meet once in Atlanta, Georgia in 2019,thanks to Peter Kayno (I probably spelled that wrong).I had never done a meet and greet before, and they had a thing going, where they were giving away the chance for the meet and greet, say if you couldn't afford to pay for something like that, which was my case,being on disability. Just having the money to drive the 3 hours there and back home, and have some money for a shirt and whatever. I usually just hang out afterwards, like a lot of people do.But I will alway's be grateful for that opportunity, that I wouldn't have had otherwise. The cool thing was, there were only 5 of us at the meet and greet. All of the other show's that I had seen photos of, there were hundreds of people. So, we had a bit more time and it was maybe a little bit more personal.

[@matto9734]

Just seeing this after having watched your incredible video "I speak Astronomy". Things in your country have developed like a nightmare. I so respect the power of the Ukrainians and the will not to give in to the infinite and brutal aggression of the russian Putin regime! I am from Germany and I don´t like the hesitation of our chancellor Olaf Scholz with sending heavy weapons to support you. I hope you will stay safe and achieve to reach your goals with freeing the Ukraine (all of it) and I hope that Putin will fall without destorying everything around him... Slava Ukraini!!! P.S. I just ordered a T-Shirt

Ну что Женя, поменял своё отношение к концертам на роССии ? Тебе ещё до войны говорили кто такие руССкие, но ты верить не хотел...

[@HybridHumaan]

They are still raising money for the armed forces of ukraine, so i am hopeful that they changed their mind.

[@orio723]

Який український виконавець не розмовляє державною мовою, говоритиме сепаратистські наративи русскім язиком і даватиме концерти в росії, в країні-агресорці, під час війни ? Так, це Jinjer (Крінджер)

Well not any longer

Now they are donating to the ukrainian armed forces
