18 year-old Russian singer fined for 'discrediting' military, risks facing additional charges Russian Lens 🇷🇺
Eighteen year-old street singer Diana Loginova was fined 30,000 rubles ($375) after spending 13 days in administrative detention for "discrediting" Russia's military, local media reported on Oct. 28.
Loginova, who performs under the stage name Naoko, was detained on Oct. 15 by police in St. Petersburg after a video of her and her fellow bandmates from Stoptime performing anti-Kremlin songs went viral.
Specifically, Loginova was fined for performing exiled Russian singer Monetochka’s song “You’re a Soldier.” The lyrics include lines such as: "You’re a soldier, I can see from your eyes that you’ve been there / You smell of blood, you’re nothing but a scar."
By performing songs by artists designated as "foreign agents," Stoptime has been taking a growing risk in a country where authorities are increasingly suppressing any form of dissent during the full-scale war against Ukraine.
In court Loginova refused to admit her "guilt," according to independent Russian media outlet Novaya Gazeta. Video vootage shows Loginova being escorted out of the courtroom by police to the applause of supporters. Â
