Oleg Elymanov

A resident of Yekaterinburg. On 24 July 2025, a Moscow court placed him under house arrest in a case concerning “fake news” about the Russian army motivated by hatred. The prosecution was prompted by a post about the deaths of 50 Ukrainian prisoners of war in the Olenivka colony, which Elymanov shared in the "ward 13" telegram chat room. The post stated that the building holding the prisoners has been blown up by the Russian military personnel.

In 2014 and 2016, Elymanov published posts on social media in support of separatists from the Donetsk region, as well as calls for the "final surrender of the Ukrofascists in Lviv." At the same time, he shared posts criticising the Russian authorities. Elymanov was subscribed to independent Russian media outlets and pages of Russian opposition figures. In 2024, he deleted all publications about politics and since then has only posted posts about raising his son and rock bands.

On 21 November 2025, he was sentenced to six years in a general regime colony.
