Rapper Noize MC* (Ivan Alekseev*) and singer Monetochka* (Elizaveta Girdymova*) were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. This was announced in a video on his page on the social network by journalist Vladimir Rayevsky.

Candidacies of those who escaped from Russian musicians were nominated by a group of teachers of the Norwegian University OsloMet.

"The most important thing is that they represent with their voices a new generation that speaks very strongly for humanistic values," the representative of the university, professor of linguistics Arnfinn Vonen, told Rayevsky.

The documents were submitted on the evening of December 9.

After escaping from Russia Noize MC* and Monetochka* held a series of charity concerts in European countries as part of the Voices of Peace project.

Recall, in accordance with the will of Alfred Nobel, the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to those who "have made the greatest contribution to the brotherhood between nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies and the holding and promotion of peace congresses."

According to the charter, representatives of national parliaments, governments and international courts, university rectors, professors of social sciences, history, philosophy, law and theology, directors of peace and foreign policy research institutes and other groups can nominate candidates for the prize.
