Case summary
Resident of Moscow. In January 2021, he was arrested for 10 days in connection with participation in an action in support of Alexei Navalny. On 23 October 2024, Yevdokimov was detained together with his brother after a search in the case of public justification of terrorism. The case was initiated because of a post about the explosion on the Crimean Bridge. In November 2024, Yevdokimov was fined 100,000 rubles under the administrative article on propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations (Article 6.21 of the Administrative Code) because of two publications, including one where he "admits" that he "founded the extremist organisation LGBTQ+".
According to Politzek.org, in July 2025, the court sentenced him to one and a half years in prison. He was released on 24 April 2026.
