Diana Loghinova
Diana Loghinova, an 18-year-old street musician from Saint Petersburg, gained national attention after being arrested for 13 days for performing a banned song during an unauthorized public gathering. Known by her stage name Naoko, she was performing alongside the band 'Stoptime' when she sang 'Cooperativa Lacul Lebedelor,' a track by the outspoken critic of the Kremlin, Noize MC. This song, which critiques corruption and the political elite in Russia, has been officially prohibited by authorities. Loghinova's performance attracted a large crowd, leading to her arrest by police, who accused her of violating public order and discrediting the armed forces. A student at the Rimskiy-Korsakov College of Music, Loghinova has previously been recognized for her musical talents in national competitions.
