Former journalist, participant in campaigns in support of Russian nationalists. Member of the Free Russia Forum, associate of politician Ilya Ponomarev. Supposedly associated with the Freedom of Russia Legion. On June 19, 2024, he was included in the Rosfinmonitoring terrorist list.

On July 18, 2025, a court sentenced him in absentia to six years in prison.
