Biography

Presumably a resident of Chechnya, an athlete acrobat. In March 2024 he was sent under house arrest as part of the case of desecration of the "Eternal flame" in Nevinnomyssk. The reason was the acrobatic stunts perfomed by three men, during which they brought soles of their shoes to the "Eternal flame". On 23 October 2024, Avtorkhanov was sentenced to a year in a colony-settlement and taken into custody in the courtroom. He was presumably released in June 2025.
