The Stoptime group performed in Yerevan. Musicians left Russia after “carousel arrests”
Vocalist of the street group “Stoptime” Diana Loginova (Naoko) and guitarist Alexander Orlov performed in the center of Yerevan, the St. Petersburg publication MR7 reports, citing eyewitnesses.
Journalists published a screenshot of a video from a speech allegedly by Naoko and Orlov. “The guys played on Northern Avenue, a favorite place for street musicians. Little has changed in the repertoire - Naoko sang songs of foreign agents,” writes MR7.
Street musicians of the Stoptime group Diana Loginova, Alexander Orlov and Vladislav Leontyev performed covers on the streets of St. Petersburg, including songs of musicians declared “foreign agents” in Russia.
In October, members of the group were detained and placed under administrative arrest on charges of organizing a mass gathering of citizens in a public place. The musicians did not leave the special detention center for more than a month - on the day of their release they were tried again and further arrests were scheduled.
Loginova and Orlov left Russia on November 23. Leontyev was released after two arrests in a row.
