The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs has declared singer Monetochka* (the pseudonym under which Elizaveta Gyrdymova* performs) wanted.

The performer is accused of a criminal offense, as stated on the department’s website.

The exact reasons why the singer-foreign agent appeared on the wanted list are not given.

One thing is known: on September 6, Monetochka* became a defendant in a criminal case.

It was initiated under Part 2 of Article 330.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which implies evasion of duties stipulated by the legislation on foreign agents.

Elizaveta Gyrdymova* has already been brought to administrative responsibility, twice in one year.

This measure was taken because Monetochka* did not mark her posts on social networks with a message about her status as a “foreign agent,” thereby violating the law on foreign agents.
