An anarchist who administered Telegram channels devoted to protests against the war in Ukraine, partisan actions, left-wing ideology, animal rights, and social problems in Transbaikalia. Snezkov was under a travel restriction. In January 2023, he was detained in Omsk and then placed in pretrial detention. On April 25, 2024, he was sentenced to six years in prison. On November 25, 2024, the appellate court reduced the term by two months.

In July 2025, Snezhkov reported that a new criminal case had been opened against him. According to him, in January of the same year, when he was in SIZO-1 in Chita, a prisoner cooperating with the administration was placed in his cell and began asking Snezhkov why he was imprisoned. The anarchist spoke about his case — the conversation was recorded on a (voice recorder). On the basis of this recording, the FSB opened a criminal case for justification of terrorism.
