He is a resident of the settlement of Vanino (Khabarovsk Krai) and a supporter of the Citizens of the USSR. In 2012, he was suspended from military service – according to his own statements, for complaints about corruption and schemes orchestrated by the officers. After that, Lanchekov appealed to the Ministry of Defence with complaints and went on solitary pickets. Among other things, he demanded the resignation of Sergei Surovikin, who until 2017 held the post of the commander of the Eastern Military District. Because of his activism, Lanchekov was sent to a psychiatric hospital.
No later than December 2022, a criminal case was initiated against him for public justification of terrorism. Lanchekov was taken into custody. A case was also initiated against him for disseminating deliberately false information about the Armed Forces, insulting the feelings of religious believers and possession of weapons. Lanchekov claims that the cartridges were planted on him. According to him, on 1 March 2023, while being escorted in a police van, he was subjected to violence and lost consciousness.
On 14 June 2024, Lanchekov was sentenced to eight years of imprisonment.
