two criminal cases were initiated against the singer Charlotte

In relation to the musician Charlotte (Eduard Charlotte), the management of the Investigative Committee of the Samara Region initiated two criminal cases. He is accused of “rehabilitating Nazism” and “insulting the feelings of believers”. This was reported by the head of the Safe Internet League, Ekaterina Myzulyna. “Have a good trip from St. Petersburg to Samara,” she wrote in her Telegram channel.

Earlier, Charlotte was detained at the Pulkovo airport in St. Petersburg after arriving from Armenia. Later, the court sentenced him to 13 days of administrative arrest on the charge of petty hooliganism.

After the arrest, a video appeared in which Charlotte apologized for having previously burned a Russian passport. “There was a mistake in understanding what was happening. … I was mistakenly mistaken for false information,” he told the police. Telegram channel Mash published the video with his apology.

• In June of this year, the musician published a video on Instagram in which he burned a Russian passport and appealed to the authorities of Ukraine, saying that he was against the war and wanted to get to Kyiv. He also nailed a photo of Patriarch Kirill and his military ticket to the crucifix.
• In mid-November, the head of the Safe Internet League, Ekaterina Myzulyna, addressed the Investigative Committee of Russia and the Ministry of Internal Affairs with mourning for Charlotte. She asked to evaluate “the actions of the blogger Charlotte, who publicly discredited the Russian army, offended the feelings of believers and intentionally burned the passport of a Russian citizen.”
• The next day, the musician announced that he was returning to Russia to “fight for Russian-language culture” and record a new album. Shortly before her return, Charlotte published a post on her Instagram about her arrival in Russia, captioned the screenshot with the airline tickets: “I bought a ticket to the Russian Federation, not to country Z.”
