The leader of the Russian group Little Big, Ilya Prusikin (listed as a foreign agent by the Russian Ministry of Justice) has re-registered the rights to the group's trademark to the group's director, Alina Pyazok, writes the SHOT Telegram channel. This allows him to receive royalties and other royalties from the group's songs and thus earn money in Russia while abroad, the source writes.

The channel added that Anna and the group are in Los Angeles. Prusikin himself has a debt of 50 thousand rubles, due to which all his accounts were blocked by the Federal Tax Service.

The Little Big group left Russia in the summer of 2022. The musicians condemned the special operation and left for Los Angeles, where they now live and work. Sofia Tayurskaya complained that they have to economize on everything due to the lack of sources of income. The artists rent housing and learn English with tutors. They have already received a green card under the "talented people" visa.

Before this, the Bryansk Regional Duma deputy, head of the "Orthodox Russia" movement Mikhail Ivanov expressed the opinion that the rapper Alisher Morgenstern (included in the list of foreign agents by the Russian Ministry of Justice) would deserve forgiveness and support if he stopped performing destructive songs. He also welcomed the musician's decision to remove the "devilish" tattoo .
