Singer Charlotte sentenced to 5.5 years in prison

Singer Charlotte was sentenced to 5 years and 6 months in a penal colony in a case of rehabilitation of Nazism and insulting the feelings of believers. The verdict was handed down by the Samara Regional Court, the telegram channel "Beware, News" reports.

The prosecution requested 7 years and 5 months in prison for 26-year-old Eduard Sharlot (the artist's real name). In his final statement, according to the source, Sharlot apologized for the "provocative videos" and stated that he was "ready to conceive a child with his chosen one."

The musician was arrested after a complaint from the head of the League for Safe Internet, Ekaterina Mizulina, over videos in which he destroyed a St. George ribbon in the shape of the letter Z, sang a song about the fall of the ruble, nailed a photo of Patriarch Kirill to a cross along with his military ID, and burned his passport. In one of the videos, the singer condemned the special operation in Ukraine and said that he wanted to go there.

He later renounced his "anti-Russian" views and apologized to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Patriarch Kirill. On November 22, 2023, Charlotte flew from Yerevan to St. Petersburg, where he was detained by the police and soon sent to a pretrial detention center on three criminal cases. In November of this year, the Russian Orthodox Church and Patriarch Kirill personally proposed to stop the criminal prosecution against the singer.
