Overview
- On November 11, the Lenin District Court sentenced singer Diana Loginova (Naoko) and guitarist Alexander Orlov to another 13 days over a public‑order offense tied to organizing a mass gathering during their street performances.
- RFE/RL reported the court classified the latest offense as violating regulations for public movement and refused a defense request to summon the complainants and the police who compiled the case.
- The rulings mark their third consecutive short jail term since the initial October 15 arrests, with both musicians re‑detained immediately after prior releases; drummer Vladislav Leontyev previously served two short sentences.
- Loginova has also been fined 30,000 rubles for “discrediting the Russian armed forces” after performing songs by exiled artists Noize MC and Monetochka, and a court in May banned the Swan Lake–related track cited in the case.
- Solidarity performances in cities such as Perm and Yekaterinburg have led to additional detentions and fines for other street musicians, according to rights groups.
