The psychiatric assessment of the singer Charlotte, detained in a Samara pretrial facility, has been disclosed. The document outlines the conclusions of the expert commission and paints a detailed picture of her mental state during the period when the alleged acts occurred. The release of the findings comes as part of ongoing legal proceedings and is being reviewed by officials involved in the case. The report emphasizes that the examination focused on ruling out persistent mental disorders and identifying any temporary conditions that could have influenced behavior at the time.
The expert commission concluded that Charlotte did not suffer from a chronic mental illness or any temporary mental disorder during the time the alleged acts occurred. The verdict reflects a careful assessment by professionals who examined medical history, behavior, and situational factors. The conclusions were presented in formal terms, underscoring that the singer’s mental state did not include conditions typically associated with long-lasting impairment or episodic disturbances that would disqualify her from responsibility.
There were no signs of a chronic mental disorder, dementia, or any other serious mental condition, according to the prosecutor. The prosecutor’s statement aligns with the main findings of the commission and reinforces the view that the alleged actions were not driven by a profound psychological breakdown. The emphasis remains on the absence of lasting disorders that would alter the capacity to understand the nature of acts or to distinguish right from wrong.
In 2021, medical professionals identified a bipolar mood disorder in Charlotte, a diagnosis that did not become a binding finding in the ongoing investigation. Specialists also noted certain personality traits described as psychopathic features and described behavior approaching the edges of typical personality norms. The report clarifies that while past assessments suggested instability, the current evaluation did not corroborate a clinically active disorder at the critical times under review. The descriptions focus on personality patterns rather than a disabling condition.
Experts did not detect any mental illness and concluded that she did not require compulsory medical care. They also found no signs of drug or alcohol dependence. The conclusions provided by the psychiatrists influence upcoming rulings by the court and help clarify whether mental health status affects liability or required medical interventions.
The Samara Regional Court postponed the hearing in the case to December 6, extending the procedural timeline while parties prepare for the next round of proceedings. The adjournment gives prosecutors, defense, and court officials additional time to process evidence, review testimonies, and align procedural steps with the laws governing the detention and trial. Observers note that such delays are common when complex charges with multiple elements are involved, and they place other court calendars on hold.
Charlotte’s social media activity drew the attention of law enforcement, including videos in which she burned a Russian passport on camera, spoke out against the military operation in Ukraine, and displayed a cross with the image of Patriarch Kirill. The actions sparked debate about political expression and the permissible limits of public commentary from a figure in detention, with officials weighing potential charges related to extremism, propaganda, and violations of social order. The case raises questions about how online conduct intersects with criminal proceedings.
In October, the court extended Charlotte’s detention until March 26, 2025. At the trial, the musician partially admitted guilt to three of four charges, including the charge of rehabilitating Nazism, while denying the remaining claim. The additional charges include inciting hatred, violating freedom of conscience and religion, and destroying an official document. The court’s rulings reflect a broader pattern of scrutiny toward acts perceived as undermining public values and legal norms.
The Russian Orthodox Church spoke in support of Charlotte during the hearing after she apologized to Patriarch Kirill, a gesture that drew mixed reactions from observers. The church’s stance was cited by supporters as a sign of reconciliation, while critics urged a focus on the legal process and the evidence presented. As proceedings move forward, the outcome will depend on precise legal arguments, the strength of the remaining evidence, and how mental health and intent are weighed.
