The leader of the cult group of the 90s told about the moment of losing all the money earned

The leader of the band "Hands Up!" Sergey Zhukov told how in 1998 the team lost all the money earned on the big tour due to default.

"In 1998, we went on a huge tour, toured 20 or 25 large sports palaces. Our whole Gazelle was inundated with money, it was huge black garbage bags with money. Previously, there were no bank cards, only cash, " the musician told RIA Novosti.

Zhukov compared himself and the band members at that moment to "koshchei, who is wasting away over gold."

"And then they call, imagine, and say: "Guys, can you quickly try to change money somewhere? Otherwise, in an hour everything you have in your car will turn into $100.“ As a result, we lost everything in one second, like our whole country at that moment," admitted Zhukov.

At the same time, he noted that he was grateful to the 90s, when, despite all the unpredictability of that time, the group gained popularity and wide popularity.

As EADaily reported, at the end of April, the Mash telegram channel learned that Zhukov had rented a private Bombardier jet to fly from Khabarovsk to Yakutsk. Jet rental cost the musician 4 million rubles. There were no tickets for direct flights in this direction.
