In May 2025, law enforcement officers took a statement from him because he had sent a photo of porn actor Billy Herrington, who had become the hero of the "gachimuchi" meme series (referring to images of muscular porn actors that have become internet memes), to be placed on the 'Battle of Kursk' panel for the 80th anniversary of the Victory. In August, a case was brought against him for insulting the memory of the defenders of the Fatherland and humiliation of the honour and dignity of veterans of the Great Patriotic War.
