MOSCOW, April 18 The decision of the ECHR, which rejected the complaint of the Russian singer Philip Kirkorov about the refusal to enter Lithuania, indicates a ban on dissent, said the artist’s lawyer Alexander Dobrovinsky .
“”The ECHR rejected Kirkorov's complaint for his support of Russia's actions in Crimea and Vladimir Putin. It turns out that a person, according to the ECHR, does not have the right to have his own opinion. Or more precisely: he has the right to have only an opinion that is agreed with the ECHR. And if a person thinks otherwise than permitted by the ECHR, he does not have the right to an impartial consideration of his case,” the lawyer said. 
ECtHR rejected Kirkorov's complaint about the ban on entry into Lithuania, calling it unacceptable, according to the decision of the Strasbourg court, available to .
Kirkorov’s complaint concerned the ban on his entry into Lithuania, whose authorities considered this a threat to national security, stating, in particular, that “Kirkorov was an instrument of Russian propaganda in the states of the former USSR and that, regularly giving concerts in Crimea, he supported her aggressive policy.”
Lithuanian migration authorities in 2021 decided on a five-year entry ban for Philip Kirkorov, which is still in effect.
