do you know which letter artyom mentions nikita in?

Actually, it turned out that Artyom had mentioned Nikita in several other letters, but only briefly (well, at least from what I've seen; I think there's a lot left behind the scenes). Personally, I think this letter somewhat stands out. I think it's from their period in the pre-trial detention center (2011-2013), otherwise it would have been a special form instead of a random piece of paper. This is just a small published snippet (since it's the 9th page).

"The band has a bad name because it has an extraneous person's last name, and it doesn't matter if it's a singer or someone else. I don't like the emphasis on persons in things like band names, etc. But that's just my opinion, I don't criticize those who make music in these directions, using all sorts of nasty things in their names. Some people think that these are childish pranks, whereas this is a peculiar way of expressing their attitude to the problems of modern society. That is, everything has its pros and cons, and so does the work of DP (Dismembered PugachOva) and similar collectives. It's just that their activities can be described ambiguously. As you've already understood, I'm not only talking about the names, but also about the lyrics and music =) However much I like to look at any things or phenomena from all sides, (something was covered up; I wonder if this was done by a censor or by whoever posted it) Well, again, if my memory serves me right, of course =) By the way, I'd like those who dedicate their masterpieces to the DP band, for example, or to the criminal activities of those who committed murders and attempted murders in Akademgorodok in Irkutsk in 2010-2011, to at least just take note of my opinion about all these tributes and glorifications of the so-called "hammermen": all this is being done to the detriment of both me and Lytkin, so I have a wish that the guys slow down and stop at least mentioning me in some texts or somewhere else, if, of course, such facts take place. Of course, I can't decide for Nikita, but I don't think he needs that kind of fame either. I know he wants all this hype, but he just doesn't seem to understand how serious the situation he's in is. I understand that people want to have fun, but let them do it in a way that it doesn't create problems for their idols or those whom they consider to be such. I'm going to ask you, Natasha, to catch someone more rational from them and tell, well, from those who are involved in music there in your communities, and tell them my last words, or rather, their essence. I'm not holding you responsible for the reaction to these words of those to whom they are addressed, I'm just asking you to try to convey them so that it doesn't get any worse =) That's why I drew attention to the fact that it's necessary to convey the essence of these words — you may have to change, add or remove something in them, depending on the situation and the mindset and temperament of the person to whom you will convey this. If, of course, you consider it necessary to fulfill this request =) Thank you in advance =)"
