The Tverskoy Court of Moscow fined musician Noize MC (Ivan Alekseev) 50 thousand rubles under article on discrediting the Russian army. This was reported by Mediazona, as reported by Radio Liberty.

The publication specifies that the reason for the protocol against the artist was a publication in the Telegram channel of the Readovka publication on August 13, 2024, to which a screenshot of Alekseev's post on Instagram was attached: in it, he wished Ukraine victory in the war with Russia.

Alekseev's lawyer Il'nur Sharapov insists that there is no offense in the musician's actions, since his client did not publish anything on the Readovka channel and has no relation to the publication.

Since the summer of 2023, Noize MC has been fined three times under the administrative article for “foreign agents” – twice due to the lack of status signs on posts and videos from concerts, and once due to a report not submitted to the Ministry of Justice.

Ivan Alekseev, who spoke out against a full-scale invasion of Ukraine and left Russia, was added to the register of “foreign agents” in November 2022. According to the Ministry of Justice, the musician “carried out political activities” and was allegedly financed from Ukraine.

Before Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Noize MC repeatedly took part in Russian opposition rallies and publicly supported its representatives, in particular Alexei Navalny.
