Monetochka (Russian: Моне́точка, lit. 'Little Coin') is the stage name of Elizaveta Andreevna Gyrdymova (Russian: Елизаве́та Андре́евна), a Russian singer-songwriter.

Since September 2016, Gyrdymova has continued her studies, and her first internship was at the ETV channel in her native Yekaterinburg, where she released joint projects with the poet Alexandra Aksyonova. She then worked for some time as a producer at ETV.

At the end of 2015, Gyrdymova uploaded her first album, Psychedelic Cloud-Rap (Russian: «Психоделический клауд рэп», romanized: Psihodeličeskij klaud rèp), to the social network VKontakte under the pseudonym Monetochka. She recorded the songs at home on a synthesizer. Soon after, she began uploading videos of her live performances to YouTube.

In 2022, Monetochka toured with Noize MC, raising over €200,000 for a Polish charity that helped refugees resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

On June 28, 2018, Moscow lawyer Sergei Afanasyev said that the prosecutor's office, at his request, began checking the song "Childfree" of Monetochka and Noize MC for, in his view, calls for adolescent suicide in the song, specifically in the following lyrics:

Listen to my advice in MP3 format: don't wait until you get old, rather die. It's a shame your parents aren't childfree. Burn in hell, burn in hell!

Vitaly Milonov, a deputy from United Russia, was also extremely outraged by this work and said in an interview that medical experiments should be carried out on Monetochka and Noize MC.

However, many famous people defended the performers, stating that one cannot judge the entire composition by a phrase taken out of context.
