Singer Klava Koka was accused of having her new music video «Thousands of Winters» created by artificial intelligence rather than filmed live. The accusations stemmed from shots featuring spectacular snowy landscapes and frozen lakes, which some viewers considered too perfect for real filming.

In response to these allegations, the artist released a video titled «My Rebellion Against AI, or How We Filmed Thousands of Winters.» In it, she showed the work process, confirming the filming took place in the real conditions of the Russian Far North. Klava Koka stated she is personally tired of neural networks, and for the creation of the video, she involved Olkhon Buryats and even spread a carpet directly on the ice of a lake.

  • In December 2025, it became known that Klava Koka left the Black Star record label. According to producer Pavel Kuryanov, the separation was difficult for both sides.
  • Earlier, in November 2025, the singer won a «Golden Gramophone» award (a major Russian music prize) for her song «I Still Love.»
