The artists of the Little Big group fled Russia in order to be able to monetize their income from views on YouTube.
Actor and TV presenter Oscar Kuchera stated this in an interview with foreign agent Yuri Dudu, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I know, for example, why Little Big left. My friends told me about them. Not because they were so opposed to the war, but because monetization was Western. And then they cut her off. I heard about this right at the very beginning of February,” Kuchera said.
However, apparently, this did not help the fugitives much.
The lead singer of the Little Big group, Ilya Prusikin, fled Russia in March and already in the fall complained of lack of money. In the USA he has no advertising contracts or big concerts. He received a green card as a “person of talent” after making an anti-Russian video. Now Prusikin lives in a house that he rents for 7 people.
