Full summary
A resident of Revda (Sverdlovsk region). He has been tried at least nine times, most recently on the 2nd of August, 2024. Glazachev was primarily prosecuted under articles on robbery or violation of court-imposed restrictions. The internal affairs authorities say about him that he «abuses alcohol and leads an antisocial lifestyle». On the 5th of August, 2024, it was reported that a case of desecration of symbols of military glory was opened against Glazachev, and he was detained. The case also includes nine instances of evading the restrictions of administrative supervision (we do not consider this part of the charge to be politically motivated). On the 2nd of April, 2025, Glazachev was sentenced to three years in a strict regime penal colony.
