Mikhailenko is a resident of Kansk, Krasnoyarsk region, a minor at the time of the prosecution. He was detained in June 2020, shortly after he and Nikita Uvarov put up leaflets in the city in support of Azat Miftakhov and those convicted in the "Network" case. On 11 June, Mikhailenko was placed under house arrest in the case of receiving training for terrorist attacks. According to Uvarov, Mikhailenko and the third defendant in the case, Bogdan Andreev, denounced him under pressure. In November, a case of participation in the activities of a terrorist community was opened.
