St. Petersburg Street Singer Diana Loginova Receives Two New 13-Day Arrests

The rulings rest on police claims of disruptive crowds, profanity, performances of songs by designated foreign agents.

Overview

  • Smolninsky District Court on October 29 ordered Loginova to serve 13 days under Article 20.2.2 and 13 days under Article 20.1, with the terms running concurrently from each administrative detention.
  • One day earlier, Leninsky District Court fined her 30,000 rubles for “discrediting” the Russian Armed Forces over a performance of Monetochka’s song You Are a Soldier.
  • Police filed fresh protocols after her release from the first term, and guitarist Alexander Orlov was also re-arrested the same day on a similar Article 20.2.2 charge.
  • On October 30, Leninsky District Court again detained drummer Vladislav Leontyev, sentencing him to 12 days under Article 20.2.2 for another street concert.
