Leps Resumes Drinking After a Break

Singer Grigori Leps, who has had serious problems with alcohol, has resumed drinking after a year-long break. According to reports from "Komsomolskaya Pravda," the musician was spotted with a glass of wine in hand.

"This time I didn't drink for the entire year because I made an honest promise. I felt normal because I have great willpower. Now I can occasionally allow myself to drink again, but just a little," said Leps.

In 2013, he was included in the U.S. Treasury Department's blacklist due to suspicions of ties to the criminal group "Brotherhood Circle." He was also denied entry to Israel and Ukraine.
