Notable artists associated with the label include projects produced by Maxim Fadeev, such as Gluk’oZa, Linda, Katya Lel, Serebro, Irakli, and Molly.
In 2007, the company lost a lawsuit filed by Andrey Razin, the founder of the group Laskoviy May, who accused the label’s record companies of illegally distributing the group’s recordings. In the same year, Monolit won a lawsuit against a music retailer that had unlawfully distributed albums by Gluk’oZa, Nepara, Yuliya Savicheva, and Legalize without the consent of the copyright holder[2][3].
Since 2006, the label's director, Yuri Slyusar (son of Boris Nikolaevich Slyusar, former head of the Rostov Helicopter Plant), has led the National Federation of Phonogram Producers[4][5]. Since November 2024, he has been serving as the acting governor of Rostov Oblast.
