Russian court fines rock musician Grebenshchikov for Meduza interview

A Moscow court fined musician Boris Grebenshchikov 15,000 rubles under Article 20.33 for 'participating in the activities of an undesirable organization,' citing an interview he gave to the podcast 'Chto sluchilos' in April 2026. This is a routine enforcement of Russia's restrictive laws against independent media, targeting a prominent cultural figure. The fine is symbolic but signals continued legal pressure on dissent.
