Abstract: Let $RF$ be the group algebra of a free noncyclic group $F$ over an integral domain $R$. It is proved that if $R$ is not a field, then there exists a fully invariant ideal $I$ of $RF$ such $RF/I$ is torsion-free but not projective as an $R$-module. In other words, there exists a pure nonprojective variety of group representations over $R$.
