Russian anti-Kremlin musicians perform in Warsaw after imprisonment

Russian anti-Kremlin musicians Diana Loginova and Alexandre Orlov performed at a festival in Warsaw on June 12, following their imprisonment in St. Petersburg for anti-war street concerts.

Russian anti-Kremlin musicians Diana Loginova, 19, and her fiancé Alexandre Orlov, 23, recently performed at a festival in Warsaw on June 12. The duo, identified as proponents of "another Russia" opposing the Kremlin and the conflict in Ukraine, had been imprisoned seven months prior in St. Petersburg. Their detention stemmed from impromptu street concerts where they performed songs critical of the war. The performance in Poland marked their emergence from a period of confinement, highlighting their continued activism through music on an international stage.
