Andrey is the head of the advertising and marketing department of Nasha Niva, the author of the Nasha Gistoriya magazine. From 2006 to 2017, he was the editor-in-chief of the publication. On July 8, 2021, he was detained in a case of "group actions grossly violating public order." He was later charged under the article on "causing property damage without signs of theft" - for paying for utilities at rates for individuals instead of legal entities. The investigation calculated the damage at more than 10 thousand rubles.

In March 2022, he was sentenced to imprisonment, despite the fact that the damages were fully compensated.

In August 2023, he was released, having fully served his sentence imposed by the court.
