Overview
- An administrative court in Perm sentenced Ekaterina Romanova to seven days in custody for refusing a drug-intoxication examination, according to SOTAvision and OVD-Info.
- Romanova’s defense told the court she initially agreed to the test but police persuaded her to refuse without warning about consequences.
- Police detained her on November 1 and first drew up a protocol accusing her of organizing a mass presence in a public place despite a previously announced follow-up performance being canceled.
- Romanova held a solidarity concert on October 22 in central Perm where she performed songs by Kino and Grazhdanskaya Oborona as well as Noize MC’s “Svetlaya polosa.”
- Reporters link her case to earlier actions against St. Petersburg street group StopTime, including a 30,000‑ruble fine for Diana Loginova after a court deemed Monetochka’s “Ty soldat” discrediting to the Russian army.
