Maybe Baby (Viktoriya Lysyuk) is a Russian and Belarusian singer, former member of the Russian group "Frendzona". Born on September 27, 1995, in Zhabinka, Brest Region, Belarus.
Listening to this artist's tracks on official streaming platforms, social media, and other services indirectly contributes to financing the war — through taxes paid to the budget of the Russian Federation.
In a 2020 interview, she openly identified as bisexual.
Maybe Baby's Stance on the War in Ukraine
Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, singer Maybe Baby initially made no statements regarding the so-called SMO, adopting a stance of deliberate silence.
The Track "Pokhryukay"
In November 2022, the singer released the track "Pokhryukay" ("Grunt a Little"), which was immediately hailed as an "SMO anthem." Hundreds of approving comments from Russian nationalists and pro-war advocates appeared under the video clip. As reported by holod.media: "The mocking invitation to 'grunt', addressed to the song's subject, lyrics like 'I have a plan for the summer — fly into the sky like a rocket', as well as repeated mentions of pigs and various firearms, were linked to the rhetoric around 'svinorez' (weapons used for killing Ukrainians, whom Z-propaganda habitually compares to pigs) — and was widely interpreted as endorsement of the Russian military's actions in Ukraine." Comments under the songs "Pokhryukay" and "Superporosenok" on Maybe Baby's official YouTube channel were subsequently disabled.
Following the release of the "Pokhryukay" music video, fighters from the "Wagner" PMC recorded a video message requesting Maybe Baby to perform on the front lines. The artist never commented on the video.
Conflict with Mizulina
In May 2023, Ekaterina Mizulina, head of the Safe Internet League, angrily condemned a Maybe Baby concert because "a young woman — an official support crew member of the band — first confiscated a Wagner PMC flag from teenagers chanting 'Russia', calling the organization terrorist, and subsequently confiscated a flag of the Luhansk People's Republic"
Shortly afterwards, Mizulina shared a post from followers stating how much Maybe Baby is "loved and respected on the frontline"
However, in August 2023, the flag controversy repeated itself: attendees were "threatened with police by organizers of a Maybe Baby concert in Saint Petersburg for bringing flags of the Russian Federation and the Russian Empire, demanding their immediate removal because this could be treated as 'extremism'"
Collaboration with Dead Blonde
On October 12, at a concert in Saint Petersburg, singers Maybe Baby and Dead Blonde appeared on stage holding flags of Russia and Belarus. This appeared particularly disingenuous against the backdrop of Maybe Baby's prior crackdowns on flags at her own concerts. Performing with the flags of the aggressor states, even without explicit speeches, represents a clear gesture of political loyalty to the regimes waging the war of aggression.
Renunciation of the LGBT Community
In autumn, following a series of public disputes and denunciations from Instasamka, Maybe Baby abruptly reversed her stance and declared that she does not support or propagate LGBT lifestyles, advising that "boys should love girls."
Support for the "SMO" and LDPR Membership
Later, Maybe Baby openly demonstrated her support for Russian state policy, joined the nationalist LDPR party, and participated in organizing and delivering humanitarian supplies to the combat zone of the so-called "special military operation."
The singer continues to live and work in Russia, actively touring across cities of the Russian Federation.
She is registered on the Roskomnadzor Gosuslugi portal. This confirms that the state formally monitors and regulates her artistic work, while the performer has fully complied with official Russian censorship guidelines.
https://t.me/asskorbinka/5136Думаю, это стоит упомянуть в статье - особенно с учётом её борьбы с флагами на собственных концертах. Коллаборация с Dead Blonde, которую Мизулина публично хвалила за "патриотизм", говорит сама за себя. В беларуском контексте - на фоне интеграции с россией, "дорожных карт" союзного государства и фактической утраты суверенитета - делать подобное и публиковать такие посты, помимо очевидного ***юдоедства, - предательство собственного народа (она гражданка и уроженка Беларуси). Особенно мерзко это выглядит на фоне того, как в последнее время она зарабатывала деньги и симпатии на показном патриотизме в конфликте с Инстасамкой.
