Overview
- Local outlets reported that Diana Loginova and Alexander Orlov were driven from St. Petersburg detention facilities as their third administrative arrests expired, with their whereabouts initially unclear.
- Later the outlet Fontanka, cited by Idel.Realii, said both musicians returned home, a claim not confirmed by other reports and presented without public documentation.
- St. Petersburg City Court scheduled a December 16 hearing on Loginova’s appeal of a 30,000‑ruble fine for alleged “discreditation” tied to performing Monetochka’s song, according to court records reported by TASS.
- Three consecutive short-term arrests were imposed over unsanctioned street performances that authorities said caused mass gatherings, while additional protocols against Loginova raise the possibility of a criminal case under the same provisions.
- Perm singer Ekaterina Ostasheva, who staged a solidarity concert, was released after serving a 15‑day administrative term following earlier penalties related to her support action.
