A high-profile case is unfolding in the Supreme Court of Russia regarding the legendary hits of the band "Ruki Vverh!" (Hands Up!). The band's leader Sergey Zhukov has initiated legal proceedings, challenging the rights to the group's iconic phonograms.

The second founder of the group, Alexey Potekhin, has also joined the lawsuit. The defendants are the band's first producer Andrey Malikov and the record label "Jam".
