As reported earlier this month, the three musicians that make up St. Petersburg band Stoptime were arrested while performing banned songs by artists deemed “foreign agents” live on the streets of the city. The group’s lead singer, Diana Loginova, who performs under the pseudonym Naoko, has since been charged with two counts of “discrediting” the army, Novaya Gazeta media outlet says.
In various impromptu performances, Loginova and her band performed songs by two Russian artists living in exile, including rapper Noize MC’s anti-war song Swan Lake Cooperative, the lyrics of which mock the propaganda narratives put out by the Kremlin at the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and singer-songwriter Monetochka’s song You are a Soldier, one lyric of which goes: “And whatever war you are fighting, Sorry, I’ll be on the other side.”
Since Stoptime’s arrest, there has been a wave of Russian protest TikToks, with clips of people performing tracks by Monetochka and Noize MC going from views in the tens of thousands to over a million within days.
Many of the TikToks feature artwork of Naoko in handcuffs against a backdrop of doves or footage of Loginova’s arrest set to news clips about rapists and murderers being pardoned and sent to the frontline. Some videos compare Loginova, who made a heart sign as she was being led through court, to slain opposition politician Alexey Navalny, who, in one now famous image, once made a heart sign from behind glass in a courtroom during one of his trials, Novaya Gazeta says.
One TikTok shows a middle-aged man with a guitar singing You’re a Soldier by Monetochka. To date, it has received over half a million views and approximately 95,000 likes. In another, a young woman performs Swan Lake Cooperative in an underpass while reading the lyrics off her phone, accompanied by a guitarist, as passersby go about their business.
Comments under the videos express support for Naoko and condemn the Kremlin’s latest repressive measure against artists. “This is my first revolution,” wrote one commenter, adding “I’m a little bit worried.”
“Let’s communicate via TikTok, to be on the safe side,” says Katya*, who created an artwork in support of the group and whose video about the process has now received hundreds of thousands of views. She says that she’s aware of the risk she is taking by posting protest videos and speaking to Novaya Europe, which the Russian authorities have effectively outlawed by declaring it an “undesirable organisation”, Novaay Gazeta recalls.
“I’m afraid of attracting attention. Not so much for myself as for my relatives. But I believe we have to keep fighting, whatever it takes,” Katya says, adding that, while predictable, Naoko’s arrest had aroused both anger and anxiety in her. “Especially as the charges are so absurd.”
