Political beliefs

He regarded the October Revolution as the price paid «for the attempt to build liberal capitalism in Russia» which, in his view, was incompatible with Russian civilization. He then argued that «now we cannot escape revolution» adding that its ideas would no longer be Marxist.[6]

In the interview, he argued that Russia is threatened not by "totalitarianism," but rather by a typical Latin American-style authoritarianism. He attributed this to the absence of an idea or ideology capable of uniting the nation.[7]

Religious beliefs

The early albums explore themes of divine abandonment. However, after embracing the Church, the songs take on a new fervor—the poetry now celebrates God’s love for humanity and the power of saving faith.[8]

In his personal blog, Nepomnyashchy accused pagans of not seeing meaning in nature.[9][10][3] Under the post, he responded that without Orthodox, Russians “will disappear”.[10]
