Soda Luv (Vladislav Terentyuk) is a Russian hip-hop artist and rapper. Born on July 28, 1997, in Ukhta, Komi Republic, Russia.
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.
Soda Luv's stance on the war in Ukraine
Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Soda Luv published a post in his Telegram channel about supporting loved ones and stating that "love will save the world" (the post was later deleted):
In December 2022, he released the track "CMD + Z", featuring lyrics referencing the war:
I pray for the war to subside
Young Stoner Life logo right across my ribs
And tattooed above my right eyebrow is «No War» (Tattooed «No War»)
I thought being human wouldn't be difficult for any of us
I mourn for the parents whose sons, like morning dew, rose into the clouds
A minute of silence without tobacco....
Brothers will remain brothers, time will mend this current rift
Also in December 2022, in an interview on the VSRAP Podcast, he answered the question "Why haven't you left Russia?":
I have family here. I'll express myself as restrainedly as possible, everyone already sees the obvious, all the moods... I'm simply an empathetic person, compassionate, I care about other people. But at the same time, everything that concerns my life is my life. And as long as I don't see a reason on the horizon to take certain actions—I won't; I don't owe anyone anything.
Soda Luv expressed a position typical of many Russians—avoiding explicit political statements and prioritizing personal convenience.
Concerts in Crimea
In August 2025, Soda Luv performed in occupied Simferopol, which constitutes a violation of Ukrainian legislation and international legal norms, and is regarded as indirect legitimation of the Russian occupation of the Crimean peninsula.
He is registered on Roskomnadzor's Gosuslugi portal. This indicates that the Russian state officially monitors and regulates his activities.
Ну добре, ще до 2022 року мізки могли бути замилені, багато чого було не зрозуміло... Але на четвертий рік повномасштабної війни виступати в окупованому Криму — серйозно??!! А куди будемо його відносити, коли він виступить в окупованому Донецьку чи Маріуполі? Їм байдуже на українські закони, бо вони не вважають Україну незалежною державою. Окуповані території вони вписали у своє законодавство і фактично підтверджують, що згодні з цим рішенням.
