A story of two street musicians from St. Petersburg who were detained three times in a row for performing songs by “foreign agents.” Diana Loginova and Alexander Orlov spent over a month shuttled between holding centers, hidden from journalists, and taken away in tinted cars.

This piece traces how an unknown street band became a symbol of resistance - and why this is a story that shouldn’t fade. Image Info
