In Togliatti, law enforcement opened a case for performing the anthem of Ukraine by teenagers.

In Togliatti, a criminal case was opened against teenagers who performed the anthem of Ukraine and sang the song 'Our Father Bandera' after their school graduation. According to Russian media, this information was published on the website of Glavkom. According to the Investigative Committee of the Samara Region, they found videos 'that recorded the illegal actions of teenagers in Togliatti' in the city's park. It is claimed that the video showed 'signs of Nazi rehabilitation' due to the songs performed by the schoolchildren. Against this backdrop, the incident in Kyiv is recalled, where teenagers were playing Russian music on the street. A woman published a video online, leading to the administrative prosecution of the youths. Also, recently in Lviv, there was public outrage over listening to Russian music at school, which led to administrative fines for the parents of students from Lyceum No. 93. Oleksandr Bryhynets, a public figure and former director of the cultural channel 'Territory A', spoke about why Ukrainian youth continue to listen to Russian music. He explained that the high competition in the Russian market forces performers to respond more actively to new trends and to develop the music industry more quickly. In 2024, the anthem of Ukraine sounded in the temporarily occupied Oleshki in the Kherson region. This event was an unusual achievement in the resistance against the occupiers. Teenagers in Togliatti performed the anthem of Ukraine and tried to crown this action with the song 'Our Father Bandera', which led to the opening of a criminal case. Events in different cities of Ukraine and Russia indicate the complex relations between nations and generations, as well as highlight important issues of cultural security and the influence of Russian music on society.
