Biography

A resident of St Petersburg. On 5 August 2024 he was searched. He was prosecuted for rehabilitation of Nazism in connection with the publication of a satirical text about referendums in the occupied territories: he compared the situation in the self-proclaimed LPR and DNR with a hypothetical referendum during the siege of Leningrad. On 29 April 2025, Tishchenko was given two and a half years of suspended sentence.
