Evgeniy is 40 years old, he graduated from the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs more than 15 years ago and managed to work as a district police officer, but quit of his own free will. Later, Alexey moved to IT. Subsequently, he lived in Europe, in Italy, for some time. He was detained while trying to enter Belarus - the man wanted to come to his mother's birthday and issue a power of attorney.
