St. ⁤Petersburg Street Singer Fined for Performance Deemed to Discredit Russian Military

ST. PETERSBURG – A St. Petersburg street musician has been fined for performing a song​ authorities ‍claim discredits the Russian military, the latest instance of escalating restrictions on artistic expression following the invasion of ‌Ukraine. Loginova, vocalist for the street trio stoptime, along wiht guitarist Alexander orlov and drummer Vladislav, were initially arrested earlier this month and sentenced to 12-13 days in jail for organizing an unauthorized public gathering.

The case highlights a growing trend of legal repercussions for individuals expressing dissent or criticism of the war‍ in Ukraine through artistic mediums.Russian law prohibits “discrediting” the​ armed forces,a broadly defined offense that‍ has⁢ been used to‍ target activists,journalists,and artists.

following ‍his⁢ release ‌after serving the initial sentence,‍ Orlov was detained again‍ on Tuesday and charged with ‌a new administrative offense under the same article concerning unlawful assembly. He was held at a police station for further ​questioning. The Moscow Times, designated an ⁣”undesirable” organization⁤ by the russian government, reports that these actions are part⁢ of a broader effort to silence independent journalism and⁤ suppress opposition to the ​Kremlin’s policies.

Title: Monetochka Condemns Arrest of Musicians with New Poem

‘You’re Afraid of Poems and Love’: Singer Monetochka Pens Verse in Support of Jailed St. Petersburg Street Musicians

VALENCIA, Spain – ⁤Exiled Russian pop​ artist Monetochka recited an ‍original poem Sunday in‍ Valencia, Spain, condemning the recent jailing of three members of the St. Petersburg street ​music group Stoptime. The musicians were ​sentenced on Thursday ⁤to 12-13 days⁢ of administrative detention for allegedly obstructing pedestrian access near ⁣a metro‌ station during a performance. The case has drawn attention to increasing restrictions on artistic expression in Russia and sparked a surge in online support for the ⁣band.

Monetochka,​ whose real name is Yelizaveta Gyrdymova, has⁣ lived abroad since 2022 and was previously designated a “foreign agent” by Russian authorities in 2023, facing ‍charges related ‌to non-compliance with the requirements ⁢of that ‌designation. Her ⁣poem, shared via social media by the liberal ⁢opposition TV channel‍ Dozhd, directly addresses the perceived fear of artistic expression within the ‍Russian government.The ‌opening lines read: “You put on such an angry ‌face, / But you’re afraid of guitars and singers. / Ink,canvases,watercolors scare you,/ And anyone who’s even a little braver. / ‍You’re so afraid that it’s easier for‌ me / To tell you ‍what you’re not afraid of.”

The arrest of Stoptime ⁢followed the‍ viral spread of a video showing the band performing ⁢a song referencing both the Ozero dacha cooperative – linked to associates of President Vladimir Putin – and⁤ the Swan Lake ⁢ballet, historically associated with periods of political transition and leadership changes in the Soviet Union. Lead singer Diana Loginova, performing as Naoko, also faces a charge of “discrediting” the Russian military, a misdemeanor offense punishable by a fine and perhaps leading to criminal prosecution upon repeat‍ offense. ​

Monetochka continued her condemnation, stating the authorities are “afraid of ‌our burning hearts because⁤ they‍ melt‍ steel and lead,” and asserting that “like birds, our ‍songs fly to those who are kind, brave and honest.” Since their arrest,⁢ Stoptime’s Telegram channel‍ has seen a dramatic increase in followers, growing‍ from hundreds to⁢ nearly 45,000. The band has announced the suspension of all future performances. Monetochka initially expressed her pain over the ⁢arrest last week, according to reporting by TV Rain.

Florida​ Cities Dominate Nation’s List of⁣ Highest Housing Vacancy‌ Rates

CAPE CORAL, FL – Six of the‍ largest metropolitan⁢ areas in Florida are experiencing significantly ​higher housing vacancy rates than the national average, according to a new study by⁤ Lance Surety Bonds. The analysis, released today, reveals a concerning trend in the state’s housing market, despite​ recent declines in some areas.

Cape Coral and Fort⁣ Myers lead the nation ⁤with‍ a 38.7% vacancy rate, followed‌ closely by North Port-Bradenton–Sarasota at 23.7%. Tampa-St. Petersburg-clearwater ranks third nationally with 13.3% of homes vacant, with Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford ‍(9.5%)⁣ and⁤ jacksonville ⁣(8.6%) also⁣ appearing in the top ten.

The study,⁤ which compared the 75 largest population areas‌ in the U.S., utilized data⁢ from the ‌U.S. Census Bureau and CommercialEdge.

While most Florida markets struggled with vacancies, Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford and North Port-Bradenton-Sarasota showed⁢ positive movement. Orlando experienced a⁢ 10 percentage point drop in vacancies between 2018 and 2023, while⁢ the Sarasota area‌ saw a 7.8 percentage point ​decrease.

“These drops could indicate increasing demand for housing, new residents moving in, or stronger local economies,” the Lance Surety Bonds study concluded.

Worcester, Massachusetts, ⁤reported the lowest‌ vacancy rate in the country at 3.6%, with Grand Rapids, Michigan, and San Jose, California, also demonstrating ⁢limited home vacancies.

the analysis also highlighted challenges in Florida’s commercial real estate sector. ​Orlando ranked 18th nationally for commercial office vacancies (16.7%), followed‌ by Tampa (15.9%) ⁤and Miami (15.6%).
