The soloist of the “Naive” group Alexander “Chacha” Ivanov left Russia

The leader of the “Naive” group Alexander “Chacha” Ivanov left Russia. As “Mediazona” writes, this happened a few days after the concert in Moscow, during which Ivanov went on stage wearing a T-shirt with the inscription “Masha Moskalyova”.

“Recently, at my concert in Moscow, I told the story of a Russian teenage girl, sixth-grader Maria Moskaleva from the city of Efremov, who was taken away from her family because of an anti-war drawing she drew at school during the IZO class. It was probably my last concert in Russia.” , – says Ivanov’s address, which was published by “Mediazona”.

He also urged everyone to pay attention to the history of the Moskalyov family.

“It seems to me that Masha Moskaleva’s story is definitely a real mirror of Russian life, and not only the private fate of this unfortunate Russian family, but also the future fate of all of Russia depends on what its outcome will be,” Ivanov wrote.

In the appeal, he also talks about the “wild harassment campaign” launched against the group in the “patriotic Russian mass media”, as a result of which the tour scheduled for spring in honor of the group’s 35th anniversary was canceled.

• Masha Moskaleva is a schoolgirl from the city of Efremova, Tula Region, raised by a single father. In April 2022, she drew a picture of a woman with a Ukrainian flag shielding her child from flying missiles. After that, on the initiative of the school staff, the family was checked by the police and the FSB.
• On March 1, Alexey Moskalev was detained for anti-war comments, and guardianship authorities placed Masha Moskalev in a social shelter. On March 28, the court sentenced Alexei Moskalev to two years in prison on the charge of repeatedly discrediting the Russian army.
• On April 5, it became known that Masha Moskalyova was handed over by her mother, who had previously expressed her readiness to “repress” her thoughts about politics.
