Boris Grebenshchikov has been fined over an interview with Meduza

Moscow’s Khoroshevsky Court imposed a fine on the musician under an administrative article on cooperation with an “undesirable” organization. According to information from Ostorozhno, Novosti, the case was prompted by Grebenshchikov’s interview with the podcast “What Happened,” which came out in April 2026.

Boris Grebenshchikov has not lived in Russia for several years. In 2026, he received British citizenship. The musician has repeatedly spoken out publicly against the war with Ukraine. In 2023, Russia’s Justice Ministry designated him a “foreign agent.”
