Diana Loginova performed at the Outloud festival in Warsaw on June 12 after escaping Russia. The 19-year-old singer shared the stage with her 23-year-old guitarist and fiancé, Alexander Orlov. Seven months earlier, the couple had been arrested in Saint Petersburg after staging impromptu street concerts featuring songs critical of the Russian government.
Authorities had viewed the gatherings as a threat. Ivan Alexeyev, the 41-year-old rapper known as Noize MC, campaigned in November 2025 to secure their release from prison. He joined Loginova and Orlov on stage at the Warsaw festival.
"Our music, our lyrics, are a form of resistance against the Kremlin, against propaganda," Noize MC said. In Russia, listening to his banned songs can lead to prosecution. Le Monde reported the details of the performance and the couple's prior detention.
