St. Petersburg Court Jails Street Singer for 13 Days in Third Public-Order Case

Overview

• The Leninsky District Court found Diana Loginova guilty under Article 20.2.2 Part 1 and ordered 13 days of administrative arrest.
• Guitarist Alexander Orlov received an identical 13‑day administrative term under the same article.
• The ruling concerns an unsanctioned 27 September set that drew at least 25 people and, per the case file, ignored requests to keep passages to the metro and surface transport clear.
• Earlier on Tuesday, the court registered a new administrative case over the 27 September event before issuing the arrests.
• Loginova had already served two short administrative arrests for prior unsanctioned performances, and on 28 October she was fined 30,000 rubles in a separate case over alleged discrediting linked to songs by designated “foreign agents.”
