Rock musician, leader of the punk band Mister X and activist. He was arrested in October 2020 for performing a performance in the form of a barefoot dance in front of a police car and charged with hooliganism.

In September 2021, a retrial was held, which decided to replace the remaining part of the sentence from "chemistry" to a colony. However, on November 24, 2021, a hearing was held at which the musician's transfer to the colony was denied.

He was released in December 2021 after serving his full sentence as determined by the court.
