Morgenshtern loses income from Russian audience

Alisher Morgenshtern, who has been designated as a foreign agent in Russia, announced that from March 1, 2025, he will no longer be able to earn money from his music in Russia. The new law requires foreign agents to deposit their income into special ruble accounts, making monetization impossible for him. According to the artist, 90% of his listeners are in Russia, which will significantly impact his income.

Consequences

• Loss of income from Russian streaming services.

• Temporary removal of the "Alisher" album from platforms.

• Exclusion from charts and reduced profits.

Artist's Response

Morgenshtern took the situation calmly, noting that he started with street performances and has always found ways to earn money. He urged fans to support him by buying merchandise and listening to his music on foreign platforms.

The artist will now focus on his international career, performances abroad, and alternative monetization methods.
