Case summary
Spoke out against the war. The band has faced pressure on several occasions since then. In June 2022, the lights were cut off at a concert in Nizhny Novgorod, and in March and April 2023, concerts in Votkinsk and Izhevsk were canceled. A criminal case was initiated after the band's performance in Novosibirsk was canceled at the last moment: first it was moved to another venue, and later canceled, citing smoke in the neighboring room. Firefighters and police arrived there. Kortnev was detained, but they did not draw up a protocol. On August 25, 2023, the court dismissed the case.
