Since March 1, street musicians in Krasnodar are permitted to perform only during certain hours and in certain locations, and to perform works that do not violate moral standards. Otherwise, they face fines.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," the Krasnodar administration adopted a procedure for street performances at the end of last year, which requires musicians to submit an application to the mayor's office 20 days in advance, specifying the repertoire they plan to perform.

On March 1, changes to the street performance schedule came into effect in Krasnodar. Now they are allowed to play only during two time slots: from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM Moscow time and from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM Moscow time, Kommersant reports.

Authorities have approved a list of 27 permitted performance locations. Musicians are prohibited from performing works that are contrary to public morality and ethics, in particular, those containing political appeals, agitation, obscene language, calls for extremism, violence, war propaganda, drug and alcohol use.

Violating the established procedure is punishable by administrative fines of 3,000 rubles for individuals, 20,000 rubles for entrepreneurs, and 30,000 rubles for legal entities.
