In May 2022, the Russian Ministry of Justice added Morgenshtern to a list. This list is for "foreign agents". This happened because he received money from an Israeli media company called Yoola Labs.

In June 2023, the government of Kyrgyzstan canceled his performance. He was supposed to play at the Alga Fest music festival in Bishkek.
