A cleaner at the Saint Petersburg Philharmonia Named After D. D. Shostakovich. In a conversation with journalists, the director of the Philharmonia noted that Konovalov has been disabled since childhood. He was detained on 21 August 2023 and, on 23 August, placed in custody on charges of publicly justifying terrorism in connection with putting up leaflets of a ‘Ukrainian paramilitary association recognised as a terrorist organisation by a decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation’. It later became known that Konovalov was also charged with participation in the activities of a terrorist organisation and with incitement to participate in terrorist activity.

On 3 October 2024, he was sentenced to 11 years in a strict-regime penal colony, with the first three years to be served in prison. On 19 February 2025, on appeal, his sentence was reduced to 10 years and 9 months.
