Who is the woman who is supposed to organize “Row Zero” at Rammstein?

“Row Zero” — this term appears in the context of current allegations of abuse against Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann frequently. This means those people who are supposedly pre-selected who are allowed to stand directly in front of the stage at Rammstein shows. These are said to be women who are recruited for sex with the singer. A woman named Alena Makeeva is said to be responsible for this.

Makeeva, writes “Die Welt” in a recent report, is a “slender, dark-haired woman in her mid-thirties” who describes herself on her Instagram page as the “casting director” of the band. According to her own statements, the native Russian was drawn to the show industry in order to be close to stars. On Makeeva’s social media profile she can be seen with a number of celebrities, including Nick Cave, Iggy Pop, Marilyn Manson — and of course Lindemann.

One of her tasks should be to contact female Rammstein fans online and promise them access to Row Zero. There, according to “Die Welt”, the women are filmed or photographed by the crew and then selected by Lindemann for the pre- or afterparty. “The women are then taken to a room where they have to hand in their cell phones and are then given vodka, prosecco and snacks. According to these reports, Lindemann is often the only band member present. Sometimes he’s cheerful and polite, other times he knocks over refrigerators. After the concerts, things continue,” the article says.

“Obsessed with Lindemann”

Makeeva herself is said to be “obsessed with Lindemann,” according to inside sources at the magazine. However, a woman with Row Zero experience describes her as “nice” and “one of us”. Makeeva should give the women precise instructions on the desired dress code in advance: “Good make-up, well-groomed hair, elegant cocktail dresses in bright, bright colors, summer flowers. Not all black please. If you have to, mix it with other colors.”

Makeeva — reportedly a key figure in this affair — sees sex recruitment for Lindemann as a favor to the women — because it would make dreams come true. However, she vehemently denies that women from Row Zero were administered drugs. Makeeva has so far not responded to contact requests from the “world” and the request for a statement.
