Monetizes content (via streams, ads, subscriptions, merchandise sales, or music platforms) and, in accordance with applicable laws, pays taxes to the budget of the Russian Federation.
Any engagement with this content — views, likes, donations, merchandise purchases, or streams — indirectly contributes to financing the Russian economy and, consequently, the war against Ukraine.
Nara's stance on the war in Ukraine
Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Meeyinara made no direct statements regarding the war.
However, in August 2025, the blogger promoted the "Alabuga Polytech" college, situated within the "Alabuga" Special Economic Zone. Since 2023, the facility has been closely tied to a plant for the mass assembly of military combat drones. The facility is under EU and US sanctions for producing military drones used in the war against Ukraine and exploiting minor students and foreign nationals for forced labor. In the promotional video, Nara encourages applicants to enroll in the country's best "college," where they don't even look at Unified State Exam (USE) scores:
Whoever wants to study at the country's top educational center and not worry about the future—then Alabuga Polytech is definitely the place for you. They don't look at your USE scores upon admission; you just need to complete the Business Cats computer simulation. The average salary is 50,000 rubles, and top students make 120,000 rubles. Isn't that great?
Through this advertising, she effectively supported Russia's military infrastructure, even while eschewing open political declarations.
She is registered on Roskomnadzor's state register. This signifies that the Russian government officially monitors and regulates her media activities.
In December 2025, she promoted VK's national messenger "Max", a tool designed for total digital surveillance. The app's privacy policy explicitly states that user data may be shared with "company partners" as well as "any state authority or local government body."
