Write a letter

Resident of Kazan. On 31 July 2025, he was detained in a case of justification of terrorism because of comments in support of the AFU attacks on the territory of Russia. The next court remanded him in custody.

In November 2024, he was fined twice under protocols for discrediting the army because of comments about the war in Ukraine. In one case, he wished the Ukrainian army to improve their weaponry to defeat Russia. In the other, he rejoiced that the Russian army's electronic suppression equipment was not working. In addition, he was arrested for 15 days under the article on incitement to hatred because of a comment in which he commented on a drone attack on a refinery in Kapotnya.

On 20 April 2026, the court sentenced him to five and a half years in a general regime colony.
