The Yandex Music streaming service has restricted users' access to a track by Zemfira* (Ramazanova*) from the Vendetta album (2005).

When trying to listen to the song "Hangover" users see a message: "The track is unavailable at the request of Roskomnadzor. Therefore, it will not be possible to listen to it or download it."

Access to the same song on the VK Music service is restricted due to "violation of the rules of the site," <url> clarifies. Also, the track is not available for listening on the "Sound" and Apple Music services.

As EADaily reported, Zemfira* retained the rights to 178 of her own songs, despite the status of a foreign agent. In addition to songs, she is the author of three musical works for films and performances, as well as six instrumental pieces. She also composed two advertising compositions

Starting this year, all fees for alienation or license for intellectual property of a foreign agent must be credited only to a special ruble account. It will be possible to receive funds only after removing the foreign agent status.
