This is the best summary I could come up with:
A dance hall in occupied Ukraine where Polina Menshikh was performing was hit by Ukrainian shelling on 19 November.
Ms Menshikh was giving a performance in a dance hall capable of seating around 150 people, according to local reporting.
A woman, apparently Ms Menshikh, is seen on stage singing and playing guitar, before an explosion is heard and the hall’s lights go out.
Portal, a theatre studio based in St Petersburg associated with Ms Menshikh said an upcoming performance of a play she had previously directed would be dedicated to her memory.
Other areas in the Donetsk region have been hotpots of vicious fighting in recent months, particularly the cities of Avdiika and Bakhmut.
A performance concentrating dozens of soldiers in one place made it an obvious target for a Ukrainian strike, they wrote.
